The Season Finale of The January 6th Hearing | Quintessa Swindell

a great show for you tonight. Inflation, pistol, inflating. We have some never before seeing footage of the work being done by Trump's special Master, and Alex Jones needs to borrow a few bucks, so let's do these people. Let's come straight into today's headlines. Alright, alright, folks, I'm gonna be honest with all the news that happened today. I just don't think we have enough space in today's show. Yeah, I know, I know. I I tried everything to fit

it in. I even tried to unscrew the legs and then take off the cushions and turn the new sideways so it would fit. But it just it didn't work, and there's not enough time. Luckily, not enough time. It's just enough time for a segment week call, and nobody got time for that. All right, let's kick things off with some news about the U. S economy. Remember how the Fed raised interest rates a thousand times in the last week to try and stop inflation. Well, it turns

out it didn't work. Breaking news on the economy. Inflation shows no signs of slowing down. The last inflation report before the med term elections. Take a look at him of these numbers shows that prices rose eight point two between September and September. Gasoline prices up more than eighteen percent from last year, Food prices still up eleven percent, Turkey up from this time last year, eggs up, butter, and then look at the little candy corn graphic. Halloween

candy up a whopping thirty four across the board. That's right, people, Halloween candy. What they say it like, it's necessary to live. What are we gonna do without it? Once again, inflation numbers are out and prices are still going up, affecting everything from gas to Halloween candy. Not only that raizor blades up. Now one of my supposes to put in the candy. How do I live? I will say, increase

in candy. That is a lot. It's so expensive. Parents are gonna start encourage their kids to get into strange vans, you know, just like look, look, Timmy, the stranger says he's got free candy in and in this economy, you've gotta take a shot. Boddy, we gotta do it. You gotta air tag. I'll find you're thinking all this, all this inflation is just not sustainable, right because because here's

the thing. Inflation is a lot like masturbation. Right. Yeah, we have a little bit as completely natural, but once you start noticing it in restaurants and card dealerships, things have gotten out of hands. And look, if we had more time, we could talk about the Federal Reserve and and and it looks like how they're gonna keep raising interest rates to try and curb this rampant inflation, because

that's basically the only tool that they have. The problem is raising interest rates takes so long to filter through the economy that this could be too much raising interest rates and we just don't know it yet. In some ways, raising interest rates is a lot like taking mushrooms. Right, he take some, nothing happens, So he takes some more, nothing happens. Then you finished the whole box. And because this stuff clearly he doesn't work. What oh, I just

met him. God him, He's a gorilla. The time for this, because all everyone's bills are going up. One of the worst people of all time just got the biggest bill of all time. Tonight the stunning verdict conspiracy theorists Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly a billion dollars for spreading falsehoods about the Sandy Park shooting. Jones was not in the courtroom for the verdict, but immediately reacted on his online show, calling the attorneys for the victims families ambulance

chasers and mocking the verdict. Seven million, twenty MILLI eight million, a million, you get a million, you get a hundred million, you got a million? They what a dick? You know. I used to watch American movies as a kid, and I always thought the bad guys that were in the movies were fake. And then I came to this country and bad guys are literally in their lay. Like you

haven't seen the last of me. Ha ha ha, But that's right for the faming the parents and the first responders of Sandy Hook when he accused them of faking the shooting. Alex Jones has been ordered to pay nine hundred and sixty five million dollars. Yeah, which is a huge amount of money. You know, you when even your great great grandkids will have to declare bankruptcy. Yeah. He's basically a millions of sperms swimming around in these boats, and every single one of them is a broke gas

bit right now, every single one, every single one. And by the way, by the way, good xor Alex Jones's lawyer trying to get clients after this, you know, like, what's your setting point? You know, in my last case, the jury awarded a billion dollars. Wow to your client,

well to a clients. If we had more time, we could talk about how Jones's conspiracy theories have only become more mainstream since Sandy Hook, and that there's not enough billion dollar judgments in the world to change the fact that one fifth of Americans think that Sandy Hook might have been staged. But we can't get into all of that because while Alex Jones's trial is over, Andy Warhol's

is just beginning. The Supreme Court heard a case today involving one of the most famous artists in American history. The justices are deciding whether Andy Warhol illegally copied another artist's work. There among Andy Warhol's most iconic portraits the silk screen images of Prints. The image was based on a photographed by Lynn Goldsmith. She sued Warhol's foundation, claiming

copyright infringement. The Justices did find some lighter moments when Clarence Thomas revealed his musical tape East's Let's say that I'm both a Prince fan, which I was in the eighties and no longer. Well only on Thursday night. Oh yeah, just as Thomas us see you your little freak nasty six days a week, it's shapeless black Roads. But then Thursday night hits and you got that full Buscher chest

ep up. And now, yeah, I know a lot of people right now might be wondering why Thomas only listens to Prince on Thursday nights specifically, But you see, Clarence Thomas is an originalist. And it says right there in the Constitution Thursday night is night. Yeah, it says it. It says it, we always go back. I don't know why they put that in there, but they did. But yeah, the big question in this case is if Andy Warhol simply copied the Prince picture or if he made it

his own by transforming it. And it just so happens that I am not expert. Yeah, so I'm uniquely qualified to answer this question. Now, if you compare them and you know very closely, you'll see he made it red and purple with some squiggly things. I'm sorry, I'm such an archey that this is probably going all over your heads. The bottom line is, I think it is different than

the other one. That's what I'm saying. Now. Look now, look, if we have the time, we could talk about how it's weird that the Supreme Court is the only place where you get to be an expert on every single issue in the world. It's why, well, actually the Supreme Court and Twitter. But we just don't have the time for that, because while the Supreme Court is trying to decide if certain artists are stealing, it's becoming clear that

a certain former president definitely is. This morning, a new twist in the investigation into former President Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Florida state Trump told people to move boxes to his residence at the property after advisers received a subpoena in May for any classified documents at marl Ago. That witness account was corroborated by security camera footage which showed people moving the boxes. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Trump is a legend. Who else gets court committing crimes with their own security cameras? Who are you? How are you really? You realize you're as this guy's nare Like Harry moved those classified documents so I could illegally hide them from the FBI. But first, but first, let's all wave at that blinking red light and tell that our names Donald J. Trump. That J stands for genius. But

something inspiring about it too, and thick about it. You know what, This is actually inspiring because Trump is so bad at crime, but he gets away with so much of it. It just shows us that we could do crime too. He's like the drunk couple of karaoke hearing them screeched through don't stop, and even gives you the

companies to try kiss from a rose. And look, if we had a little more time, we could have so much fun talking about how Trump has once again helped the Justice Department cracked the case against him, or we could even get into my personal conspiracy theory that run into Sanctus and his people are probably the ones who snitched on Trump to get him out of the presidential race. But we don't have the time for that because while the FBI is investigating Trumps was handling of classified documents,

Congress is investigating a whole different Trump crime. And today, at their final hearing, the January six Committee released never before seen footage showing what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were doing while Trump's mob was outside, asking to have an intimate conversation with Mike Pence's neck. And it was pretty impressive how they were keeping their cool and trying to get stuff done, everything from phoning the Vice president

to even trying to call in the National Guard. But one of the craziest moments was when Nancy Pelosi pointed out one really smelly reason the lawmakers might not be able to stay in the capital. But we are being told very directly, is it's gonna take days for the capital be okay. Again, we've gotten a very bad report about the condition. I would go to the house floor decoration and all that kind of thing as well. I

just got off because I spent. He had the impression for Mitch that Metch wants to get everybody back to do it there. I said, well, we're getting at counterpoint. That is time to clean up the poopoo that they're making all over them literally and figuratively in the capital. Yep, you heard that right. It turns out right wing Jamaric Choir was shooting for, as Nancy Pelosi put it, poo

pooing all over the capital. And you know when when I when I was watching this happen, I thought to myself, it's so interesting how people like Tucker Carlson, we're calling black people animals when the George Floyd protests were happening, But when these people were literally shifting in the Capital, Fox was like, these brave patriots are just expressing their frustration and standing up for American democracy. Uh, They're They're

not the animals. Like I can tell you for a fact, even in Minnesota when ship was going down and people were rating that target, there was no black man who stopped in the middle of all of them. Was like, hey, yo, hold up, hold up, hey yo, hold up, hey, hold on, hold on, Black lives Matter. But we don't have the time to talk about those moments from the committee because the biggest news of the day is that the January six Committee has issued a subpoena to speak to the

chief of poopoo himself. Happening now, the January sixth Selectivity punctuates its final hearing before the midterm elections with a bombshell, a subpoena for former President Donald Trump. So this afternoon, I am offering this resolution that the Committee direct the Chairman to issue a subpoena irrelevant documents and testimony under oath from Donald John Trump. Oh shit, that's what the

j stands for. What a poms ow Oh. And also the fact that they just subpoenaed a former president of the United States, And I mean, how are yeah, finally, how are they only deciding on this now? Huh? Only now it's like doing a whole murder investigation. And then on the last day of being like, should we like talk to the murderer, Yeah, he might have said information

about the murderer. Maybe. Now, even after this came out, everyone assumes that Trump is not going to show up to testify, But I feel like he's going to be a little conflicted. Yeah, because on the one hand, yes, he thinks this is a crooked witch hunt that is out to get him. But on the other hand, the ratings. Can you imagine the ratings. This would be like the Super Bowl meets Watergates meets a Game of Thrones meets

a mandatory HR video about sexual harassment. Everyone who'll be watching, everyone will watching, And we all know the only thing Donald Trump loves more than ratings is grabbing classified documents by the pussy. And look, whether you like Trump or not, you've got to admit this dude as a record breaker.

First president to be to be impeached twice, first president to be subpoena for stage in the coup, first president to go to prison Maybee, first prison to break I don't pres first president to escape to Mexico, first prison to be blocked by his own wall and trying to escape to Mexican. I Look, if we had the time, we could talk about Trump serving time, but unfortunately we don't, because it's time for us to take an ad break.

We'll be right back. Welcome back to the day. Show, has we just heard Donald Trump has been battling the Justice Department over whether his little hoarding problem with government documents has crossed the line into criminality. And if you've been following the story, you know the documents that Trump took from the White House are currently being reviewed by a special Masta. Well, it turns out in an exclusive, very real interview, The Daily Show has found out how

this process is going. My name is Judge Raymond Deary, and I am currently the special Master pointed to review the files that were in former President Trump's office in mar Laga. I've been a judge since I've had many great moments in my career. This is a moment. It's fine. The first task is dividing the documents into files that are classified, files that are declassified, and files that are stuffed with cold cuts. The first one I thought was just a mistake, But now I think he thought the

folder are also a type of bread. They're both kind of brown. I guess is this where I saw myself at age seventy eight sorting through an ex president's personal stash of America's most sensitive secrets and is used underwear. No, I'd rather be on a beach or or dead dead sounds nice. You know, none of this is very organized. I mean, here, we've got what appears to be blueprints for a nuclear so that should probably go in the

classified pile. But then you open it up and inside is just a copy of the nine three may beaver Hunt magazine. But then he opened up beaver Hunt and inside is a USB drive. It's property of the CIA MS thumb drive holds critical nuclear Oh, it's actually just a digital version of beaver Hunt magazine. Well, this is can actually be interesting, but I have found some interesting items. This is a to do list. It just says President mccron's wife. I'm not even trying to understand what. Oh

I get it. I can't be I'm doing this. I've maintained a professional relationship with President Trump in order to clarify the nature of the documents, but it can be difficult because he is well, in a legal sense, just so stupid. Okay, but Mr President, did you declassify this list of undercover counter intelligent operatives? If you're the president of the United States, you can declass if I just by saying it's declass but even by thinking about it. Okay, Well,

how do I know? Have you thought about you know? Never mind, the spies are as good as dead anyways. I know the country is eager for me to finish, but there's just so so much to go through, like piles, how dumps of piles of stuff. GODDAMNNA hate this job so much. This is hell, I mean, miserable, agonizing, unyielding hell. But at least I get a free lunch yea putting

lock special Mark. Alright, stay tuned because when we come back, one of the stars of the new Black Adam movie, Quintessa Fundel, will be joining me on the show, So don't go away. Welcome back to the Day Show. My guest tonight there's an actors who stars as Cyclone in the new superhero film Black Adam, which will premiere in Theences nationwide October one. Please welcome Quintessa Fundel. Welcome to the Day Show. Thank you man. It's a pleasure to

be here. Pres have you here? You know, um, you're in this movie and one of the people who is your co stars, MoMA, is a comedian who've been friends with for a very long time, and so he sent me a random message. You're just like yo, queues coming to your show and gave me no other information. When who Who's que? How que I? I don't And then I was like, oh, which que and then he's like, what do you mean which cute? The only que I work? I was like, no, I don't keep And now you're here,

so welcome que it is you. If you don't know, now you know. Trusting stars. Thank you, congratulations on the journey you've had. I mean people have seen you on Euphoria, people have seen you on the Netflix show Trinkets, and now to be in the d C film Black Adam with the Rock, I mean this is huge. Yeah, no,

it's It's absolutely incredible. It's been a dream. I feel like I haven't been working very long, but I've been able to work with some truly incredible people in this industry, pierce out the like no, uh no, mar Juan Sarah DJ It's been truly incredible. I like that you get to call him DJ. No no, no, I mean, don't be sorry. That's just like those are like the dj Q.

I'm learning. Um, you know you listed those names and every single one of them has created a piece of a franchise or they've been part of a franchise, and there's so much pressure that comes with that. But what you're doing is really unique and that you were playing a character in this movie that we haven't seen in a movie before, and that's Cyclone. And often times people get to play a character that they've seen, they grew up what they saw. Sometimes it takes the pressure off.

Sometimes it has a different pressure in this case, how do you feel was it was it? Was it liberating to just set the tone or well, you're a little nervous that this is a Cyclone? Is what you make of it? Well? I think it's a little bit of both. I think, like with what you said, Cyclone has become such a like an important person and an important character in my life, and she's formed so much of like how I enter spaces now and how I embrace myself more.

Um So, there wasn't like any pressure other than to just like be my most like authentic self and embrace myself and trust more honestly. So, yeah, yeah, at least have you have you ever struggled with that? Because you you give off this air, you know, in every interview that you do, every every every screening, every vibe, you give off this energy of just being comfortable in who

you are. I mean when the news came out, you know that d C was celebrating the fact that you were the first known non binary person playing a character in this universe. Even that you just you just seem to just carry with you and you're like, Yeah, this is who I am, this is I'm living my life. Like where do you get that swag from? I'd love to know, No, I mean, it's it's taken like quite a bit of time to like embrace that part of myself.

I feel like so much of my life I've always been searching, um for who I am, my identity, my family, my friends, every thing. And I'm, like I said in the beginning, like I've been so lucky to have representations of who I want to be each step of the way, whether it's you know, whether it's the people that I'm working with or just the people that have been able to meet who have helped me cultivate who I am

and embrace who I am. And as far as like being the first known non binary person, I think that's so important. You said that because there could be other non binary people who are questioning trans people who aren't fully out yet. And for me being able to be fully out hopefully can serve as representation for other people to embrace who they are and step into themselves because yeah, yeah, I don't. I love it because I love it because in many ways, all superhero stories are an allegory for

that journey. You know, it's it's the journey of somebody possessing two identities. It's the journey of somebody being you know, being one person to the people who know them, and then being somebody completely different in being their true selves. I would love to know what do you think you learned about the idea of like what being a hero is? Okay, such a good question. Um, I mean I feel like for me it shifted because you you begin to question

what you've been indoctrinated to believe. For me personally, it's how as a Western society do we view justice and do we have the power to go elsewhere and rid a problem? Just like in Black Adam, you know, we're telling him to be a hero, but he's already a hero for his people. And I think in today's society and in this world, we see that so often people rising up and people being able to choose who their leaders are, and for me that made me question that

as well. You know, and and learn more and learned about what's happening in the world today and be curious and be an advocate of that. So I love it. You crushed it, you crushed and everything that you do. And I'm so excited to see the phone. Thank you so much for being on the show. Thank you. It's such a play. Tennis win doll everybody. We're gonna take a quick break, so we're right back off the fort
