Trump DOJ Case Gets a Special Master | Sherri Shepherd

is masta of his domain. Amazon has ruined Lord of the Rings, and Runny Chang will break down the most over analyzed film footage since the Kennedy Assassin Nation. So let's do these people. Let's jump 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. The FDA has officially authorized new COVID boosters

that for the first time, target the Omicron variants. And I'm so excited because this means we can finally fight Omicron just eight months after everyone got it. Any case you're counting, That is now the fourth COVID shots, which means one more and we all get a free sandwich. Yeah. Meanwhile, in climate news, the West coast of America is currently experiencing a record breaking heatwave, with temperatures in some cities

topping a hundred and fifteen degrees. Yeah, it is so hot in California right now that people are begging Harry Styles to spit on them. Please Harry, it's oh. In international news, it is now being reported that, due to global sanctions, Russia is being forced to buy ammunition from North Korea. Yeah, which I think we can all agree means you're pretty desperate. Yeah, like you have to go to North Korea because no one else will sell. It's like only a matter of time before Putin can only

get haircuts from North Korea. That's gonna be fun nowhere else. All right, But let's move on some of the biggest stories of the day, starting with the only man in America who scrapbooking hobby could land him in prison, Donald J. Trump. Yeah, the J stands for January six. There have been some major developments in the FBI's investigation into America's former president, so let's catch up on all of it in another

installments of America's Most tremendously wanted. Ye. Ever since the FBI raided the broom closet where Donald Trump was keeping America's most important national security secrets, we've all been wondering what exactly Trump was hiding there, And over the weekend we finally got a detailed rundown of what the FBI took away. There were thirty one documents labeled confidential, there

were fifty four labeled secrets, and eighteen labeled top secrets. Yeah, and even better than that, agents found those documents intermingled in the same boxes as magazine clippings and clothing. So I guess Trump has a legal problem and a hoarding problem. Like what it is as it was, like after the FBI has done with Trump, they need to send in Marie Condo, you know, just to be like, does this seven copy of Playboy spark joy? Donald Daddy? It sparked

so much joy, so much joy. But even more concerning is that the FBI also found dozens of classified folders that were empty, which obviously raises the question where are the documents from the folders? Are they in other boxes? Did he lend them to Saudi Arabia? Or maybe maybe it's more innocent, Maybe Trump just keeps a bunch of folders label classified so he can give them some friends with photo copies of his butt inside. I mean, that's

a good joke. That's a good jockey, like what's in here. Ah. It's also possible the intelligence community didn't trust Trump with classified information, so they just gave him anti folders. We don't we don't know. It could just be like, sure, these documents are so secret, we made them invisible. He's just like incredible, just like all the love letters Milannia

sends me. I get it, totally get it. But nobody knows what Trump was doing with these files and folders, and now it might be a lot longer until we

find out. The criminal investigation into those classified documents found at maral Lago is temporarily on hold as a result of this twenty four page order where a Florida a Real judge granted former President Trump's request that authorizes the appointment of a special master an independent observer, to review what the FBI seized from the Trump estate last month. The special master would separate any items that might be protected by claims of attorney client privilege or executive privilege.

The judge said the deadline of Friday for both sides in this case, Trump and the d J to propose a list of candidates they want to be Special Master. Now. The judge also said in this ruling that DJ cannot use these documents at all as part of its criminal investigation until this review is completed. Yeah, that's right. A judge in Florida has decided to appoint an independent observer to go through all of the documents and determine which

ones are off limits to investigate it. And that person is called a special Masta, which I'm not gonna lie. When I first heard it sounded pretty cool. It's like Donald Trump is getting a special Masters, like he's a bottle lun Kong fucus. It's gonna be like, hm, i am your Special Master, and you Donald at my students, like Greg, can you teach me chop sticks? And what's gonna be really interesting is who they pick for this job. Because the judge gave each side until Friday to submit

a list of suggestions together. Right, so basically the judges going, Trump, you sent us a list of who you think should review the documents, and then, like the Justice Department, you do the same thing. And then I guess the judges hoping that they will overlap, but I don't know. I feel like the Department of Justice is going to submit the names of like former attorney generals and FBI directors, and then the list from Trump's side is going to be like Jared the Hamburglar, a paper shred on top

of the toilets. You know, but you know, once again, Donald Trump has exposed the part of America that I'm willing to bet nobody knew existed. Nobody did you know about a special master, any of you. I didn't even know it was an option. I've watched ten million hours of law and order. I know about penas. I don't know about breaking the chain of custody, objection, sustained over rules, side buying my chambers, But not once have I heard

the term special master. But once again, thanks to Trump, because of his hard work and dedication to doing crimes, we've all learned something new today. And I said, thank you, Mr President. That's right. But let's move on to some international news from the American Trump to the British one Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Back in July, he was forced to resign due to a long list of scandals. You know,

he was having parties during his own COVID lockdown. He was receiving shady loans, he was promoting people that he knew accused of sexual harassment. You name it, he did it. He's like a one man Shonda Rhymes show. So finally his party forced Boris to resign and today they appointed the new leader of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has a new Prime minister this morning. Liz trust officially took over from Boris Johnson today after a meeting with

Queen Elizabeth at Belmore Castle in Scotland. We have huge reserves of talent, of energy and determination. I am confident that together we can ride out the storm. Trust Inherits a nightmare war in Europe, a biting cost of living crisis. The country braced for a winter of potential blackouts and fuel poverty. Yeah, once again, the United Kingdom is bringing a woman into power only when things really shit. Yeah, they do this all the time. Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May,

Mary Poppins. The list is endless. That's why it feels good to live in a country like America. It is so feminist. It won't put a woman in charge ever just in case things get really bad. You welcome, ladies, You're welcome. And you know, I gotta say, it's weird how the British system just springs a new prime minister, aren't you, like, like, you know, when when they picked the new doctor who, there's all the speculation and debate and the whole country's weighing in on it. But for

the new prime minister, they're just like meet Liz. She's running the country now. So I wish the best of luck to Prime Minister truth and from now on until she, I guess, resigns in disgrace, because that's what happens. You know, that's what happens to British prime ministers. They never get to the end of their term. You just serve until some ship goes down and you have to apologize and leave.

In fact, you know what, to make things simpler, the new Prime minister should just start their term with an apology speech. You know, it is truly an honor to be taking this job that I will be forced to resign from within a year. I'm excited to leave this nation and I'm ashamed for the terrible things that I will do that forced me from office. But until that happens. I have many ideas for this country. I want to rebuild the roads. I want to expand national healthcare. And

look at that. Oh boy, there's the scandal already. It's been a privilege all a lifetime to sell of you. Thanks everyone, cheery by everyone. Fine, all right, finally let's move on to some big entertainment news. Amazon Prime Video has announced that its new Lord of the Rings prequel series is it's most watched program ever, with more than twenty five million viewers checking out the show on his first day. Yeah, but it turns out some of those

people might be hate watching. Amazon is suspending reviews of its new Lord of the Ring series on Rotten Tomatoes. It says the seventy two hour hold is to make sure the reviews for Rings of Power are legit and prevent internet rolls from bringing down their score. Amazon says reviews are being dragged down by fans who are upset about the show's diverse cast, which includes black actors playing elves and dwarves. These viewers say it's unrealistic for Tolkien's

creatures to be non white. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. This is a tough one. This is a tough one. I mean, on the one hand, everyone wants diversity in shows that we create. But on the other hand, you gotta admit it's a bit unrealistic to say that there were black people in this white guy's imagination, you know, I mean, I mean, I can get on board with a show or a world where magical creatures cast spells and fight undead armies for control of a piece of

jewelry that can turn them into gods. But if those creatures have a tan, it's just not believable anymore, It really isn't you first, This is this is so hypocritical. You're gonna get mad about seeing a black Dwarf and Lord of the Rings, but you're fine with seeing a Kevin Hart movie. Be consistent. He's so tiny. Also, by the way, I don't understand why people are this angry. It's not like all the characters turned black, all right, There's one black dwarf, a couple of black ELPs. It's

not like the NBA calmed down like, oh there's black whether. Yes, you know. It's the same way people were losing their ship because of the one guy in House of Dragons. You know, people losing them Oh, well, it only takes one to lower the property values. You know, the House of Dragon used to be worth four in a thousand. Now I don't know anymore. And I know what people are saying. People are saying that the books are supposed to be based on medieval Europe, so having black characters

isn't realistic. But guys, nobody's watching Lord of the Rings for realism. Okay, they're watching it because they didn't have sex in high school. That's the only reason it's not realistic. I won't say this stuff. I will say this, apart from the racism thing, I kind of agree. I don't think it makes sense to have black characters in Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I said. The whole series is about seeing danger and then running towards it. That's some

white people ship. And the reason the reason there were no black people in Middle Earth is because they saw the Giant Eye talking out of a volcano and they were like, oh, hell, no, we are moving to Africa because this ship here. No, no, we do not need to be here. We're gonna Africa. Were totally safe. All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go to a break, it's time to check in on all the latest social media trens without very own ronnie checking everybody

that you ever. Are you guys ready, you guys very social media? You guys don't hear some social media? You guys ready to lose a few? I Q boys? It alright? First stop, what's training is a lot of the rings or as as. I like to call it Game of Thrones without the incest. I mean, look, I know it's supposed to be woke, and he woke on this show. You know us these stop mode or hate or whatever, but look, can we just give this one to white people? All right? Let's diversify the real places first and then

we can't worry about the white fantasy places later. Okay, that being said, where the are the Asians? Okay? Because the middle of Naria the West Wing, no Asians, no Asians. The closest thing we have to Asians and American fantasy is spark in Star Trek. Okay, yeah, he's Asian. I know he's white, but he's Asian gay, He's super smart, he dresses like an emperor, he's got a bowl haircut, and he knows the pressure points in the neck. Right,

Live long and prosper even talks like confusius. Okay, I just want to see some Asian elves and what else? What else is trending? Oh? Yeah, everyone's on the internet trying to figure out whether Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine at a movie premier. Yeah, and by the way, this one Asian here, one Asian here. There's more Asians in this Harry Style spitting video. Then six Low the Rings movies and the TV series. You know, Ronnie actually actually saw this trending online and I saw the video

and like, what what happened here? Dude? I don't know. Trevor, do you think I care about this celebrity crap? You think I stay up at night reading about how Florence Pew was upset with Olivia Wild Or you think I spent hours trying to figure out why Olivia said Shellaboth was fired and really he quit? Like what kind of pathetic loser would be up at foy and reading about how Jason Sudek is serve Olivia while divorce papers on

stage in the movie's press conference. I mean, what sad piece of ship reads article after article about how Olivia's now dating Harry Styles, and we all get slowly sucked into this Florence puniverse. It's actually disgustingly stupid. How much time people are spending on this or I get a life. You know. For someone who says they don't know a lot about this, it really seems like you know a lot about this, Like you just took us through the whole story. So so did did Harry Restyles spit on

Crispine or not? Dude? I don't know, and I don't care. Alright. What I do know is that most people in the world would love to have Harry Styles spit on there alright. Anyone in this audience would open the mouth and gladly have Harry Styles spit down the gartlet any day of the week. All right, yeah, all of you all that will open them up and say, please feed me, King Styles, feed me if you're sliver right into my mouth. Who here? We don't want that because people love Harry. People love Harry.

No one can do He can't do any wrong. Have you seen what these desperate people tweet about him? Look at his desperate president here? Top three one direction members in order, Harry Styles, Harry Styles, Harry Styles stole standing for life, all right, that's what these thing losers are saying on the internet desperate much. He's not gonna spit in your mouth. Trevor. All right, First of all, you don't know that. Second of all was just a joke. Okay,

you're right, You're right. But you know what I you know, Okay, I know that all this ship is great publicity. Okay, I don't even know about this movie. But now I know about this movie. It's given me an idea about how we should be promoting this show. Okay, Trevor, No, Trevor, no, just hear me out here. I'll spin your mouth and then you serve me if the boss pay for this. No, no, and then we've got daily running shutting. Everybody does that

need springing back? Might be spreading. We're we're talking about small talk and all the small stop, felt away, lost, lost, sitting, Welcome back to your day show. Of all the little life skills that we need to get through the day, the most annoying one is making small talk. But is small talk more important than we think? Well, Michael Costa

when to find out. As we re enter society for the teenth time, the workforce is returning to the office and people have to do the grossest activity makes small talk. So I spoke to the public to see if it was time to end this terrible type of conversation. Is there anything worse than small talk? It's the worst. It's the worst worst. It's like the awkward phase. I don't

really care about your day most of the time. It makes me nervous because if it sucks, how do you feel your individual small talk skills have gotten since the pandemic. Everyone's just awkward. I forgot how to talk to people, So what do you do? Try not to talk to people. I will find a friend at a party and just sit myself and then what if we're at the park? Are we going to small talk? If I don't know?

You know, I keep it moving. Clearly, we all hated small talk, so I wasn't gonna make anyone suffer any longer. Call this small talk. You know, let's not do small talk for a second? Okay, okay, um? Odd? Real? Is God real? I want to get to the good stuff. Yeah, will you tell me about your worst childhood trauma? Oh no,

It's clear everyone preferred my conversational approach. However, some see the benefits to small talk, like psychology professor Tara Wells from Barnard College, So I met with her to go deep about why she likes to keep things on the surface. It's really important that we engage in small talk because it's how we connect as humans, and I appreciate how important it is for us in communication. You appreciate the most awkward moment of all social interaction. It has kind

of a negative connotation. We think it's superficial and it's just kind of, you know, mindless and a waste of time. What has happened to small talk since the pandemic started the past two years have pretty much decimated small talk in a number of ways. I mean, when we talk to people face to face, we use the whole body. There's little a slight time lag in zoom, and in those few seconds we tend to think of something negative. So someone pauses, yes, exactly exactly should I put my

shirt back on? That type of thing? Yeah, So many people are feeling kind of very socially awkward, not knowing what to say, also wearing masks because we connect with their facial expressions regularly express yeah like this like this, did you feel connected to me? Then? No? Interesting? What happens is we we oftentimes mirror our our facial features. So what's wrong with this jumping into the important stuff? Well, you know small talk is in therapy. Okay, it's not therapy.

It's kind of easy to blame the pandemic, but in a lot of ways we were headed here already. The generation younger than me is the most medicated, the most socially anxious, having the least amount of sex. Is that connected to the importance of small talk? I think it can be because even before the pandemic we were kind of losing that face to face contact. We don't get the same psychological and emotional benefits when we just respond to a text or like a post on social media.

Are we in a small talk crisis? Wow? She really made small talk seem important. It made me realize that maybe even I could get a little better at it. If I need to get better at small talk, who do I practice too? So you can practice in the mirror, or you could also get a small talk practice buddy st PB. Just go there and be curious to get to know other people, but also know that you're going

to be awkward and it's okay. And what if I feel the responsibility to initiate conversation simply starting out, Hi, Michael, I don't think i've met you yet. What's your name? Hi? I'm Michael. What's your name? I haven't met you yet. Have a little bit of lightness and intonation. Hi, I'm Michael. What's your name? Hi, I'm Michael. What's your name? You don't want to sound too sexy, though, Michael, what's your name? Yeah?

It was too sexy, too much? OK. I gotta I gotta practice with Professor Wells's instructions, I practice my small talk to do my part to end this conversational crisis. Hello, I'm you. Who are Who's Michael? Hi? I'm I'm hot outside? Hello? How are you too loud? Yeah? Lake Superior is the biggest of the Great Lakes. That incident, Why would I say something? Hi's pretty hot outside? Huh, that's a good hello?

How are you? Hello? What is your hometown? After weeks of talking to my reflection, my dog, and hiding from that coworker, I tried to talk to you in the elevator, I was finally ready to take my small talk on a test run. So the weather is cloudy today, Huh? Have you seen the latest spider Man movie. Hey, you wear that yellow really well? Oh my god, Brian Park, It's like turned down the music already. I feel like there was too many things at once. How did that

make you feel? Um? Overwhelmed? But I'm vibing. Wow, that's a beautiful building. Yeah, you know what isn't beautiful? The HPV and my body? Wow? You like sports, Evan, I do like sports? Yeah? Cool? Which one of your parents do you love more? Oh my god, my small talk wasn't perfect, But to my surprise, I actually had some good conversations that didn't get super weird. How are you enjoying New York? It's a lot to take in. It's

definitely different from where I'm from, Memphis, Tennessee. Hey, I feel like we just had a nice conversation and maybe the small talk was the bridge that got us there. I think so. And I didn't have to even bring up my HPV. He didn't have to bring that up at all. Small talk on three one two three small talk? Do I love small talk? No? Do I understand why we need it? Fine? Do I have any big plans this weekend? Well? Yes I do. Thanks for asking, got a baby small talk expert? Thank you so much for

about Michaels. They choose. But when we come back, Sherry Shepherd will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. Welcome back to the day Show. My guest tonight as comedian, actor, and Emmy winning talk show host Sherry Shepherd. She's here to talk about her brand new daytime talk show, Sherry, which premier is September twelve. Please welcome Sherry Shepherd. Sure, what's going on to show? Welcome

to the Daily Show. Look, you are fine. I'm not three you in person because you'll see people on TV and you're like, da, all right, you're fine. I see what you're doing already. Whatever are we going to Africa again? I've never been to Africa. I'd like to go. You've never been. I've never anywhere. I've never been to Africa. Let me tell you something. Mother's love me in Africa. I've never been, but I know they're gonna like me. How do you know? I just I'm that kind of person.

I'm that kind of person that like you know, I'm family reunions. I like going I cooked sometimes when I ordered from door Dash and I put it on the china. I just know I fit in with families. Okay, that's probably why you're gonna make such a great host for a new show. I should say welcome to the Daily Show. And more important, I should say welcome to New York because you moved to New York to make congratulation here in New York. I love it. Welcome to it. This

is a big deal. Yes, it is because I've been on the you know, I did the View for seven seasons with Barbara and whoop be enjoying Elizabeth and so to do my own it's literally a dream come true. I've been I used to talk to my Teddy Bears with like the toilet paper roll and I will put I put it in front of their faces and I would do that, and when I was a legal secretary, I would sign my name Sherry. So it's like I always thought about doing the talk. So you wait, let's

go back. So you interviewed the Teddy Bears I did as an adult child when I was a child. Okay, No, you didn't explain like way exactly. I was just trying to situate the whole experience. No, No, I do grown men now when I have to interview, Yeah, that's what I do. I don't do Teddy Bears anymore? Surever? What? No, sir? Oh you it feels like you were made for this rule. Like people love you on TV. You act you, you're you're in comedy. But this is a different type of job.

Because it is your show. It's gonna be daily. You're gonna be talking about everything. Let's talk about that part of the show because you know you you're gonna be in daytime TV where a lot of people go, oh, don't do politics, and you know, don't do certain parts of comedy. And it feels like you're bringing everything that makes you who you are to the show. Tell me a little bit about that. I am, you know what, because I have I love politics. I could sit and

talk about but I'm very clear. My show is joy, fun and laughter. Because we go through so much in our day, I think we get desensitized. And I want you to be able to come because they can get it from you. They can get the news from the view from Wolf Blitzer. But I want you to come to my show and laugh. I want you to have a good time. That's all I want. And I just have the sincess that need. We're both stand up comments.

I have to make you laugh and so if that's what you want, I want you to turn into Shary, which is gonna be tuning into the show. We're gonna be laughing. You also gonna be showcasing comedians, which which I love. Like you have a special segment on the show full stand up comedian specific series Laugh Lounge, because I have been a struggling comedian, like my higher life.

I used to go and I would get bumped by Tommy Davidson, Marlon Wayans, all of them, and I would just sit there till one in the morning and I would play in front of one person and I go, if somebody would just give me a chance, And that is what I want to do with comments. I know so many comms. I love that. Yes, that is my missing that, you know, because you know, you know there are comics around Trevor who just they just need the exposure. But they can't sit on the couch, you know how

that that world is. But you can come and sit with me and you make people laugh and hopefully that will open up. Like what Johnny Carson used to do. I did it with you know, Jay Leno. He had me to stand out and it changed my world. It feels like you have, you know, an energy about you that is all about positivity, because it's not just about laughing. You know, even on even on the View, you had your moments where you would go really deep, but for

the most part, you found a reason to laugh. You found a reason to smile, You found a reason to make people feel good about themselves and the show that you're in. You know, for for a lot of daytime shows, some people will say, oh, it's it's gonna be gossipy only, it's gonna be negative only. But you've never been that kind of person. It's almost like you have a joyous way of seeing whatever is happening in the world. I do. I just I've just grown up going you got it.

There's a silver lining and everything. You just have to know how to find it. And I am a woman of a certain age, and I want women to look at me and go, if Sherry can do it, if it can happen for Sherry, it can happen for you too. I used to struggle, so I know this, you know. I want people to know that joy. I want people to get past the fear because I'm a big I'm

a big believer and run towards the thing that scares you. Yes, yes, and see I know and I know you said that like when you you you going away from the thing that scares No, I'm like the thing that scares you. But you know what, it scares you. But if you go towards it, no, no, it will not kill you. There's a lot of blessings on the other side. So if you go towards that, honey, let me tell where. You gotta be man enough to know how to pick her up. I mean pick it up is heavy, but

you know, run towards it. That's that's what I enjoy about your journey because it's like you're going into a show. You know, you've been doing the stand up, you've been doing the acting. What you're doing is extremely hard coming to New York, I mean, you know, and then it has like a different pace to it. It's chill, people are friendly. It's like a vibe you've seen. I mean, you've seen that video like that Mercedes crashing into that

other car. That's New York. That's New York. You know how you know that New York is crazy because that the people walking by in that video don't even stop. They don't they you know, I'm telling you're not going to let that change you. It does not. In in l A. It's we're so chill. Like in New York. If I say to you, let's have lunch, New Yorkers go, well, what time where we gonna meet? I'm just trying to say goodbye. That's how we are in l like that. It's it's too much we we when we say we're

gonna go to lunch. In l A, it's just like I'm trying to get off the conversation. We don't mean it. But New Yorkers are very even riding the subway, like everybody looks at their cell phone. They don't see anything, you know. One lady got on this where she's like, hello, I am blind and I need money and I had a fire in my place. And she's like, girl, you so funny. I am and I need your help. New

Yorker's hustle. It's another world. It's another world, and I love So you're at the beginning of a new show. Everything is an opportunity, Everything is a possibility. It kicks off on September twelve. I want to know if you could fast forward to five years, ten years, how many years you want to be doing the show. What is the thing you want to leave people saying afterwards when they go, like, man, that Sherry Shepherd show? It did it was? You know? I think I want to want

people to say, Sherry Shepherd gave me joy. Sherry Shepherd made me feel good. That's what I think. You have to know who you are when you walk in. I think women we also have a problem with that, knowing what is unique about us, and so you know that is what is unique about me. I want to make you smile and feel good. So I hope that people leave saying that, and women, and I hope you leave going Sherry taught me how to negotiate my money. Never

take the first offer, Never let me tell you something. No, say no, I wanted him to say. Sherry taught me how to say no. That's right. Well, if you asked me and I won't say no, they don't apply to this right here. But Sherry taught me how to say no. You say, you gotta go for what you want. I don't know what I'm gonna be sitting behind this desk, so I got to tell Trevor how I feel. Okay, you gotta let him know, I dinner for Prince. I taught Prince the same thing. So we're going to Africa.
