You're listening to Comedy Central now coming to you from New York City, the loosely city in America. It's the Daily Show. DV can't ep no more. We're running Cvy and Moses Ingram. This he's the Daily Shoe with River. Everybody. Welcome to the Hey shots, hurning on. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank people, hurry out of place. This is that Look at you, Look at you, look at you. Take a seat, Look for everyone, Thanks for being here. We have got a jam packed show for
you tonight. Prince Charles is boiling out of control. Reparations are finally here for one black family, and Supreme Court has learned the error of its ways and vowed to do better. Now, I'm just kidding. They're gonna kill us all, so let's do those people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things off with the Supreme Court. America's got
talent but for laws and stuff. From the moment Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in, it was only a matter of time before the Supreme Court started restoring America back to its factory settings, and in the last few weeks they decided that church and states should get a little cozier. They decided that America's real gun problem is that they aren't enough of them. And they decided that coochies are
state property. And today, as they were closing out their term, they decided this the big news out of the U. Supreme Corps. The High Court just handing down their final two decisions of this historic term. First, a major environmental case, the Court deciding six to three in favor of are curbing the e PAS authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This is a big setback for the Biden administration for
its efforts to restrict global warming. Wait, wait what? The Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency does not have the authority to protect the environment. So what is their job now? It's gonna look at the environments and be like, oh shit, all right, that was a good dad work. You guys want to get some drinks. And by the way, I don't know if if it's the same for you. It's always weird to me how the
news in America frames some of these stories. You know, like, this is a defeat for the Biden administration, It is a defeat for human life. I'm not gonna do abiden, do you realize if we don't get under control, climate change is gonna wipe us off the planet? Right and still these news anchors are gonna be underwater like will the Will the wise and she levels hurt, but they're craft want to help the Republicans in the mental loans.
And by the way, by the way, just so you understand, this ruling might not just be about the carbon emissions. A lot of experts believe the logic of today's ruling makes it harder for the government to regulate anything unless
Congress specifically passes a law to do it. Because you see, right now, a lot of regulations are made by agencies like like the f d A they will handle like food, you know, the CDC with public health, the b RB with ignoring text messages, and and I know these agencies aren't perfect, don't get me wrong, but could you imagine if Congress had to approve like vaccines. Imagine if you had to wait for them, it would have never happened.
Which still will be locked in our houses clapping out of our windows because Congress couldn't convince Margery Taylor Green that needles weren't actually a space alien conspiracy, then where did they come from? The one thing that's clear is that from environmental regulations to a bore and two guns, to school prayer, to vote to rights, this is one of the most radical Supreme Courts in American history. And by the way, people agree on that from across the
political spectrum. You know, Rachel Maddow was like, this is so radical, and Sean Hannity is like, this is so radical. And they're also imposing their power on a country that foremost part, for the most part, isn't on board with any of it, right, which is why many liberals are now calling for some major reforms, like adding more seats to the courts, or imposing term limits or setting up a trap for brit Kavanaugh. Do never know or my work, but let's move on. Let's move on from the people
handing down the judgments to the people receiving them. This week we saw two major sex trafficking cases come to an end. One was with R. Kelly r and b Legend and guy we wished had stayed trapped in a closet, and the other was Gilline Maxwell window was van in human form. And the good news is the good news is they're gonna have a long time to think about what they've done. Grammy winning singer and songwriter r Kelly has been sentenced to thirty years in prison for racketeering
and sex trafficking. Kelly was convicted of running a criminal enterprise that recruited women and young girls for sex. Twenty years behind bars for convicted sex trafficker Delaye Maxwell. The sixty year old was found guilty of conspiring with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse and traffic young girls. Yeah, that's right. R Kelly is getting thirty years in prison and Delaine Maxwell is getting twenty and once again we see that women only
earning two thirds of what men get. Shame on you, America, Shame on you. She did all that work and Jeffrey Epstein, a man, still got all the credits. Not to mention, she gets sentences for twenty years. But Jeffrey Epstein, he was in prison for what a few weeks? Huh, and then Hilary got him out. Uh. You know what's crazy about this what's crazy about this thing is how everyone has a conspiracy theory about Jeffrey Epstein who's gonna come
from Gilaine Maxwell, everyone. But what I've noticed is it depends on what people's politics is a right some of people, it's gonna be Donald Trump, It's gonna be Hillary that I'll kill it. It's gonna be the Royal family Illuminati. You're not just thinking wouldn't it be funny if everyone was right? Like what if all these powerful people were involved and then like they will bump into each other on the way to Gilead? Maxwell South, you know, there's
a get thing. It's like, oh my god, crook at Hillary, what are you doing here? Where you also so embarrassing? I was gonna o in the queen as well, what are you doing? It's an honor? And she's like, Oh, I'm just here to protect my embarrassing son. You know what that's like? Donald Eric is not my son. He's not my son. Don't say that as he is sold sentenced. Are any senses And I'll tell you what, Whichever prison R. Kelly is going to is getting a major upgrade. Say
what you want. That dude is going to dominate the prison talent show. Yeah, I'm sorry the guy who won last year. Nobody gives a shit about your juggling act now. In fact, whichever prison Arkelly goes to, they've been to jack up the security because once r Kelly sings, I don't care how much you hate him, nobody can stop. No one can stop themselves from dancing. Yeah, let's start singing step in the name of love, and the gods are gonna be like steph step somebody stopping round and round.
No stop can bring it back. Can't let me see, nobody can stop. By the way, I wish they would have given us that song and taken Arkelly with it, like the song is so good. The ship just said the song. That song did nothing. You could have adopted the song like a child. I'll look after this song. But anyway, Yeah, justice has been served, and let this be a lesson to other prominent sex traffickers. The law will catch up with you after letting you totally get
away with it for like twenty five years. You watch out, you watch out, doesn't matter. As Kelly Delaine Maxwell with Jeffrey Epstein, the Prince and speaking of the royal family this week. This week we found out that Prince Charles, the Queen's slightly less embarrassing son has a very unusual way of funding his charities. Royal sources say tonight the Prince Charles will no longer personally handle large cash donations
for his charities. The Prince came under fire over reports he'd been handed a cash donation totaling three million euros, some of it stuffed into a suitcase from a former Quatari prime minister several years ago. Clarence House, which is where Prince Charles lives, says the money was all charitable donations. Clarence House says it followed the correct processes regarding those donations. Royal officials say they dispute many of the details in
that report. Yeah, so, in case you're a little bit lost. It turns out after an investigation they found that Prince Charles had received suitcases full of cash from a Qatari right, and he was like, this is for my charity. And now says I I realized this was wrong and I will now no longer do it. But I love how they say Prince Charles will no longer accept suitcases full of cash, like he just realized this was a shady
thing to do. He's like, all right, all right, no cash in a suitcase from now on, it's just bags of cocaine. Okay, come on, I can't do anything. Come on, come on, How do you can act like this is the first time you figured it, Like I don't care what it's for, suitcase full of cash. It's always shady. If your grandmother gives you five dollars for your birthday, but she slips it to you in a suitcase, your grandmother is up to some ship because they say this
was for Prince Charles's charity. My only question is what kind of charity is it that needs to be paid in all cash? Huh? What is it got its headquarters in a strip clubs? Like this money will do a lot of help against poverty. In fact, here comes poverty right now here you go poverty. Shake that aut scirl,
shake it, shake it, poverty check. And you know, if this is one of those things that shows you the difference between normal people and really powerful people, all right, it doesn't matter if it's Prince Charles or American politicians African presidents. Right, they just get to say, we made an error in judgment, and so we're going to use this money to spend some time in central pay thinking
about where we've done We're so sorry. But as a regular person, if the government finds you with the suitcase full of cash from anywhere anywhere, don't apologize. It probably gonna end up with the front row seat to one of those R. Kelly prison concerts. That's where your group this hide step. Don't play around, Okay, finally let's move on to move on to a good story about people
getting tons of money. Now, many people may or may not know this, but there was a time in America where black people have their rights and property taken away from them, and it was a period known as all of human history. And that may seem as a shock for many of you to hear, especially if you go to school in Florida, but it is true, and unfortunately, most black people who lost their land have had no way to find justice, but often only one hundred years.
One family in Manhattan Beach, California is finally getting a little of what they deserve. Prime southern California beach front property is being returned towards rightful and original owners. More than a hundred years after officials actually took this land from a black family. L A County leaders voted to give it back to the descendants. The property was originally bought in nineteen twelve. The original owners turned it into a resort for black family since they were barred from
many of the beaches. White neighbors soon targeted that property with racist threats and harassment. The city eventually sees the property nine, claiming eminent domain. Well, now the county is going to lease the land back to the current errors and then give them the option to sell it for themselves down the road. The Bruce family originally bought that land for just over Now it's worth about twenty million. Yeah,
that's right. That is amazing. That is amazing. Long time coming through the government is giving these people back their land. Although that's just proof that climate change is real. Yeah, all of a sudden, the government is like, you know what, the ocean for property can go back to the black people. Here, take it, take it, take it, take it. You're like, why, don't worry, don't worry. Take you No, no, no, but for real, for real, this is great news. It's great
news for that family, great news for justice. And it's especially exciting because now there's a black beach. Yeah, because I've seen white beaches. They've got people surfing, playing volleyball, sunbathing. You know, but this is gonna be a lat beach and you know what that's gonna be, like, it's gonna have people surfing, playing volleyball Sunday. What did you think I was gonna say? H he thought it's gonna be different cause of black. You racist? Everyone of even thought
something you racist. But you've got a black Peach's gonna have drive bys and people yelling at the movie street and you can't yourself. I'd like to relay racism traps just to see who comes out anyway. This is the thing. That's the thing people don't seem to realize, right with the story. The property is now worth twenty million dollars, right was bought for twelve dred back and like the nineteen twenties. And that's what people don't get is how
Black Americans have been held back. Right. People always say, people always say, oh, come on, can't we move on in this country? That was a long time ago, yeah, exactly, And in that time black Americans could have built wealth. That's what the whole part the fine. You see this all over America, all over the United States. You see this. I mean, look at New York people are living in brownstones that are worth twenty million dollars because they're great
grandparents bought it for like three chickens. That's money now, right. You can use that as leverage, you can get student loans, you can buy other things. That's money. And it shows you how powerful generational wealth is. If it's taken away from you, it can cripple your family forever. It's like how anything that happened generations ago can still affect you today. Like if your great grandfather spent like your entire family savings and and and bought Coca Cola stock back in
y you set for life. But if your great grandfather bought our c Cola stock back in the nineteen twenties, well that's probably why you're working two jobs, you know. And it's like, we talk so much about systemic problems, but generational wealth is a systemic solution. So people don't see. You want this to happen. You want society. You want society to give everyone a chance to build on generations of success so that eventually families of all races can
come together to avoid paying a state text together. It's powerful. It's inspiration, all right, That's what the headlines. But before we go to a quick break, let's check it on the stock markets. Finance expert Michael cost to everybody. Good to see you, Michael. I know, I know it's been crazy. What what what is happening in the market today? Well, you know, I'm crushing the market. I mean I am, seriously, even when I lose money, I make money, alright. So and I got a hot tip for you. And I got
a hot tip for you, all right, So pay attention. Look, this is the last day of second quarter trading, and this is a bad quarter. Okay. I haven't seen a quarter this bad since my dog swallowed a quarter. Okay, and I was at the bodega. I was twenty five cents short for a bag of chips, so I just had to wait for him to shift it out. Okay. What can I say? I love cool Ranch de Rito's. Okay, But Trevor, look, look, look, thanks for clapping of that. Look this this is a brutal chart. I mean this
looks like the flight pattern of three pigeons on Ayahuasca. Okay. Now, nobody got hit harder than bed bath and beyond. Okay, take a look at this chart right here, This this looks like one of their deflating air mattresses that they sell. I mean, it starts out pretty good. Then you sit on it the first time, and you know the problem with Bed, Bath and Beyond is they didn't adjust their business model. They say they're a home good store. Nobody can afford to buy a home anymore, am I right?
You know? Now, Oh, that story about the black family getting their beach back, that's an amazing story. I love that story. I mean that is as a white man, I support that story. You know, I'm serious. They were there first, they they owned it. You know. Now it does bring up a question that I have for the black community. Okay, does that mean that you're gonna give us back the NBA, or the NFL, or or the Daily Show? I promise you a hot tip? All right?
The stock markets trash, Throw your money in a suitcase. I'm Michael Gott. This is probably my last day. When we come back, we're gonna be discussing whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in smokes. So don't go away. I'm welcome back to the day to show. Pride Month is coming to an end today, But that doesn't mean the conversations around gay and trans rights need to stop until next year. So to keep the conversation going on
our end, I want to introduce Veronika Ivy. She's a transgender rights activist who is the first out trans woman to an attract Cycling World Championship. Please welcome Veronica Ivy scosselfp. So I'm gonna say from the top, because I've noticed this happens in every conversation every time you bring up trans rights or if you have a discussion and you
say trans people tense up. I understand why we live in a world where now there are people who are so transphobic that it makes it almost impossible for people who aren't to ask any questions, to have any conversations, to have any discourse that doesn't lump them in with transphobia. And so I'm really glad that you're joining us on the show to talk about this because it feels like one of the biggest issues in America and yet no one can seem to talk about it. So let's start
with your journey. Um, you've competed at some of the highest levels in sports, and you know as your hood. He says, sport is a human right that that is, that is what you believe in Talk me through. Talk me through just a little bit of of why you believe fighting for transgender athletes to compete in the catch regories they'd like to in sport is so important. So it's a fundamental tenant of like the Olympic movement that
sport is a human rights. So in their Olympic Charter, in their fourth Fundamental Principle of Olympics UM, they say participation in sport is a human right and they mean that at the competitive level. So this issue, people like to say that it's a complicated issue, and I don't actually think it is. I think it's very simple. It all boils down to do you actually think that trans women and intersex women are real women and are really female or not? And if you do, it's very simple,
just stop policing who counts as a real woman. Because this has had history of racism built into it over the years. It's not an accident that the intersex athletes who get singled out are women of color from the global South, because who gets singled out for scrutiny is based on white women's conceptions of femininity, and that's being weaponized against trans people too, So it's a fear of protecting the fragile, weak cis white woman from the rest
of us. So there are many elements to what you've said, which I appreciate, so let's try to break them down. One thing that confuses me personally is it seems like we have discussions about who should participate in which category and how. You know, on the face of it, it seems simple, as you say, you know, if somebody identifies as a woman, if they transgender, they can compete against women who are born biologically and and then if not, then not. But then there are many who would argue
who are not transferbs. There are many who born biologically women who will say, but you have an unnatural advantage over me, and that makes sports unfair. How do you how do you respond to this? Yeah, there's lots of ways you can respond to that. So the first is the very language of you were born and I'm not biological somehow, like I don't think I'm a cyborg. So like this idea that like, oh, you're not a biological woman. Well, I am a woman. That's a fact. I am female.
So all my identity records, my racing license my medical records, I'll say female, right, and I'm pretty sure I made a biological stuff, so I'm a biological female as well. So this question of do trans women have an advantage over CIS women, we don't know. Um. In fact, there's basically no published research on this question. However, Uh, there's good reason to think that there isn't. But I think it's irrelevant because we allow all kinds of competitive advantages
within women's sport. So one example I love to talk about is the real Olympic women's high jump final. First place was over six ft three, tenth place was five ft five, So a ten and a half inch hype difference between first and tenth at the Olympics in high jump, and we call that fair. So the range of body types within the female category is way way bigger than
anything that could be attributed to trans women. So if there's an advantage, and I'm not saying that there is for trans women and women's sport, it's not an unfair advantage. But also, we've been competing at trying to compete at the highest level for decades, would be allowed to compete for decades, and no one has won an elite World championship. No one has won an Olympic gold medal. This Tokyo Olympics was the first time trans women even qualified for
the Olympics. So this idea that trans women are suddenly going to take over women's sport is an irrational fear of trans women, which is the dictionary definition of transphobia. So it's interesting that you say that, you know, because it's interesting had to say that, because I think if if I were to push back or you know, even not even playing Devil's advocates, there were there are a
few things that could be argued. Number One, you could argue that although the trans women who competed in the Olympics didn't dominate, she did beat a field of women who might have qualified for that position, right um. Secondly, when you talk about the hype differences, I agree with this completely, but there are many who would argue that we exist in a state where a lot of the surgeries on you, a lot of the technology, just the technologies and new. Transgenderism is not new. We know it
throughout time, We've seen it throughout history. But there are many who would say, how do we ensure that we are creating some sort of standard. And the reason the reason we talked to this, you know we talk about this is it's the reason I have to regulate regulator performance enhancing drugs. For instance, what is fair? What can you drink? What can you not drink? What can you consume?
What can you not consume um? Some would say if you are born that way, that's how sport has determined who goes where, And then some would say, no, who regardless of who you are, you should be able to compete. My question then comes in from a really honestly a different place. I look at somebody like Oscar p Stories from South Africa, right, he was the double amputee, And Oscar Pastorius actually went, well, I want to compete in the able bodied race, right, And people like, well, do
you have an advantage? Do not, etcetera, etcetera, the prosthetics. But then could there not be an argument if there is no advantage in that, that then trans women should be able to compete, but in the men's races them because they'd still be able to compete in the sport. But they're women and they're female. So, like I said, this boils down to our trans women really women? Are they really female? Because if you think yes, then we belong competing with other women. So it's an extreme and
dignity to say I believe you're a woman except for sport. Right, So you can't single out one of the most important facets of our society. We are obsessed with support Athletes are some of the most highly praise highly paid people on the plant. Differently, so you can't say that, like, I believe you and I support you, but not for this one really big thing that society really cares about. Right, And I'm I'm saying I get confused by why we distill it down into just two things. I'll tell you why.
As we learn about gender being a spectrum, as we learn that people can identify in a multitude of ways, we accept the fact that we don't have to put people into categories of man or woman. You know. That's why they say protect trans women's like otherwise, which women are you protecting? It's it's it's an argument that doesn't separate or diminish anybody, but gives more specificity to what
people are saying. And so when we talk about these things, I sometimes get confused by why we're trying to force the people into two again, when we've been taught that there isn't a two whereas a sport like let's say boxing, for instance, in boxing, people fight across all weight categories. They don't just go men's boxing, women's boxing. They go no, men heavyweight, super heavyweight, and then they'll be like middleweight,
bantam weight, flyweight, featherweight. There's like guys who wait nothing punching each other. And I mean, jenuine is I've always thought to myself, it's interesting how in boxing they went, well, we don't just want to see guys fighting, we want to see guys fighting at different weights. The UFC does the same thing. They go, you're gonna fight in your weight class, which has it seems crazy? How can you
break it down? And yet it's worked. And so I wonder if you've ever considered and I'm not saying it's your job, by the way, but if you've ever considered it, oh, then great, have you ever considered a world where it becomes more specific? Then you know the same thing they did in the Paralympics. They had to find a way where they classified how a single ampute could run against somebody who's partially blind or a double emputy and how
do how do we grate that? So do you not think that we're limiting ourselves by saying men's sports women's sports when we now know that there's so many more genders. So I'm really going to just satisfy you right now, But you don't know what I'm looking for those so you can't do I know you're looking for something other than I'm gonna say, and that That is a very important question and a very difficult question, but it's a
separate question. The question we're talking about is, given how sport is currently structured, should we include trans women and intersect women in women's sport? And my answer that is a clear yes. If you want to say, should we revisit how we structure all of sport? I would say, yeah, we should do that. But if your only reason for doing that is because you can't just accept trans women or women, that's a problem. I got with you. I understand, and I'm not saying it's not what p No. No,
I hear what you're saying. No, completely, I completely hear what you're saying. So let me ask you this. Then, you know, again, eliminating fringes because everything on the internet becomes fringe. Everything becomes a fight in an argument. If somebody comes to you in good faith and I mean genuinely good faith, and they say to you, you know, Veronica, I was born a woman, raised a woman. I I've suffered or lived in experienced life as a woman. This is where I am. This is where my body has
gotten me to. I've grown as a woman. My bodies had the testosterone estrogen that it had to get me to this point, and that's why I am here. And I feel like you may or may not have the advantage, but we don't know yet. So why can't we wait to know these things before you compete against me? How would you respond to that? Because that's not how human
rights work. So the way human rights work is that the default is inclusion and the burden of proof is on the people seeking to exclude, not that people seeking to include. So I want to share something shocking with everybody. It wasn't until five years ago that we actually studied the relationship between natural testosterone and performance, and we found that there's no relationship whatsoever between unaltered, natural and doogenous
testosterone and sport performance. About point five percent of elite mail track and field athletes at the World Championship Love are below the women's average of testosterone, competing with men with eighty a hundred times as much testosterone at no competitive disadvantage, and that fact has not been picked up
by the broader media landscape. So when you say I'm a woman and I have this much testosterone, well, first, there's a huge range within women into the male range, and there is no relationship between her having a competitive vantage over women with lower testosterone. So there are elite sis men with low testosterone lower than a given woman who's out competing her. So our bodies and biology is not this simple. We thought it was, and it isn't.
So we know that when you add testosterone to your natural levels, like doping, you tend to get bigger, stronger, faster. We also know that when you drop your testosterone levels, like trans women tend to do, you tend to get slower. But what your natural level is has no relationship to your sport performance. And we've been singling out that factor, testosterone against the scientific evidence. But I'm a little confusing,
and forgive me if I'm slow to understand this. You just said the natural level doesn't give you an advantage or a disadvantage. But you said if people do have an addition or subtraction of it, then it does give you a disadvantage or an advantage. Well, it affects things.
So for example, like my body doesn't produce testosterone, and it hasn't for a decade, but I switched sports from a road cycling event to a track power event, and I switched training, and I put on twenty five pounds of muscle and I went from being able to squat one seventy two. So I don't produce a testosterone and I squat a lot and that's just because I change training. So it's not so simple as okay, if you drop
your testosterone, you will get weaker. Because if you change your training, your diet, your rest, recovery, your sport, your performance can change. Your body will change. It seems like we're always going to end up in a cul de sec because many people use it as a cudgel. I've realized to scare people, Oh, the transgenders are coming for you, your both through and your sport to everything. Be careful what you say. Um. But but it feels like there
are many discussions to be had. It feels like as you said, you know, the research, the science, everything hasn't caught up. But I appreciate you for coming on the show and discussing this with us. Thank you so much for joining us. All Right, we're gonna take a quick right, but we're right back with one of the stall Probably want to come over with one of the things. Will part up to this. Welcome back to the Day Show. My next guest is an Emmy nominated actor you know
from the hit show Queen's Gambit. She is now parts of the legendary Star Wars franchise, starring in the Disney Plus mini series obi Wan Kenobi, please welcome Mosa Singroom. Please please, Mosa Singer welcomes to the Daily Show. Thank you. You're going through an amazing, amazing period Queen's Gambits now, obi Wan Kenobi. You you have one of the most interesting IMDb pages because you graduated in and then it's just been hit, hit hit. That's great. That's the secret.
I don't know. I don't think there is a secret. But there are still bad days, like like early on, I had this really bad audition and I tried to put myself into my trunk. Do you ever have like bad days where you're like trying where you put yourself into your trunk. Yeah, well no, not there, you put yourself into your but you just need to know where everything is, Like you need a really small space. I've heard people talk about this, but I've so once. I
was out with a friend. We're in a park for a very long time, and then he said, can we go back to the hotel? I would like to lie in a bathtub exactly. It was like, you want to take a bath and he said no, I just want to be in a small space. And I was like, oh, this is the craziest thing I've ever heard. But now I'll tell him that I met someone else trunk of my car. Yeah, I tried, do you close it? Or well?
So it's a it was a hatbag at the time, and some regular cars you can like pull the latch, but I ended up looking stupid because you can't pull the hatchback. So you're just like, I love the idea that somebody was watching this happening and then they call and they go high. I think someone's kidnapping themselves. What to do with this? But but it has been it
really has been an amazing journey. You know, everyone who joins the Star Wars franchise says, it's just it's it's a galaxy that is really well, some of the some of the most loyal fans. You know, you're part of this giant franchise. When you knew you were going to be a part of it, you must have been excited. But then I heard that you had never watched any of the Star Wars movies. No, I had, I have now I have now given how, I just don't know how. I'm not even judging here. I just don't know how.
I don't know. I guess I just didn't come from a family who did. I knew who they were, A new Darth Vader, I knew Obi Wan, but I didn't I didn't see any none of them. Now that you've seen, do you have a favorite? Like which one? Um? Probably Revenge of This is okay, okay, I like this, Like all right, this is good, this is good. I thought you were going to be like Judge of Binks was my favorite, and I'll be like, we have a we have a fight. UM. I love that you You've just
joined the franchise and already you're making an impact. We saw in that clip, and you see if you watch the show, your character's hair is almost part of her. You know, it's it's it's it's like, it looks futuristic. Obviously, you know Black people like, well, that's hair. We know it's it looks cool, it looks greaturistic. You actually influenced that hair decision because originally the character was supposed to
have like just straight hair, right. Yeah. Originally, like there was a wig and it was like doing a thing. But it's a real testament to our director Debra Chow, who really welcomed me into the process of making her who she would be um and he was really important to me. Like if a kid wanted to be me for Halloween, it would be weird to me if they had to wear a wig because I wore a wig when I have hair like them, you know, And so you got the head. I love that. I like that.
This is something I've always wanted to know from somebody in the Star Wars universe because they put the sound effects in afterwards. So when when you're fighting, what do you make the sound? Because I make the sound. I can't do that. Do you do you do? Somebody do it for you? Guys? Yeah, I make the sound, but actually in rehearsal. Now they have these really cool ones that make the sound when you swear they do. It's my Amazon, can get it on I can get it
on Amazon. I can buy a lightsaber that makes the sound. Actually it mustn't do when I'm not swinging. Then I look stupid. No like positive though, So you don't want to just like and then okay if you don't mean to, Okay, don't move if you don't mean How long do you have to train for those fight scenes? Oh? We trained for about four months, nine in total, of you count while we were shooting, So it was it was a process.
So if you got into a fight in the streets and there was like a lightsaberish type object, you'd kick some ask I think I'd do. Okay, you're amazing. Thank you so much for being on the show.
