Trump Says He Won't Return to Twitter | Burna Boy

We got a hot show for you tonight. Our guest is an international superstar, the Grand Me winning rapper and singer straight out of Nigeria. Bargah Boys joining up on the show Ta Ti Plus with Junior is going to bring us the traffic and you will get an exclusive first look at the future of The Daily Show. Oh man, I'm excited. So let's do this people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things off with all

of the continuing saga of Twitter and Elon Musk. Right yesterday, the Tesla CEO and man who has definitely made love to a robot officially purchased Twitter, setting off a wave of take so hot they burned off my eyebrows and I had to draw them back on. Everyone was going crazy.

Twitter Resolver, Twitter is Back. Twitter killed Jeffrey Epstein, but one of the biggest takes came from former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who gave Musk his stamp of approval, saying I rust his mission to extend the lights of consciousness, not be honest people. I have no idea what that means. Yeah, but Jack's clearly on that billionaire speak. Yeah. No, I feel like after you reach a certain network, you just start talking like a stone Jedi. You know. It's like,

what do I want for lunch? My hunger cannot be satiated for I crave justice, So turkey sandwich. Turkey sandwich. But all jokes aside. Jack Dorsey is a great guy and I wish him a safe journey back to his home planet. Um, but not everyone is a chill Yeah. A lot of Twitter uses flat out said that they're going to leave the site. That's how much they hate the idea of Elon Musk owning it, to which Ellen replied, I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter,

because that is what free speech means. Yeah, it was really beautiful, and I hope I hope that he means that. I really do. I mean, but don't forget this is a guy who wants personally canceled a bloggers tesla order because of something they wrote about him. So I'm just saying, yeah, you know, he has nice intentions, but when you have the power to be petty on an epic scale, the temptation to do it can be really hard to resist. I don't even blame him. I think it will happen

to him, like if I bought Google. If I bought Google, you best believe I would abuse those auto fills. Yeah, especially especially around like Emmy voting season. You'd be like John Oliver would be like children's wig collector, Stephen Colbett hits it run, Trevor Noah saves puppies. How did that happen me? No, guy, No, I just yeah, I just had to because Stephen Cope hit the owner and then I had to. You know. It's just one of those things.

But of course, the person everyone was waiting to hear from was the former king of Twitter, who would still be the king if the throne hadn't been stolen from him. I'm talking about Donald Jet Ski Trump. You see often getting kicked off of Twitter. Trump starts at his own service called Truth Social. But now that Ellen owns Twitter, everyone wants to know if Trump will come back. And yesterday the Tangerine Dream responded someone not on Twitter Donald Trump.

A little over a year ago, the former president was banned from the site. But even with new ownership, Trump told Fox News he will not rejoin and instead stick with his own social media platform. I am not going on Twitter. I am going to stay on Truth. I hope Ellen buys Twitter because he'll make improvements to it and he is a good man. But I am going to be staying on Truth. President Trump this weekend Saturday night at his rallies touting his social media platform, Truth Social,

and it's plans to take on big tech censorship. Because of this digital tyranny, we had to give the American people their voice backed by building something called truth Truth Senchal Truth Social. A man did this guy just called truth Social Trust Central? What was that? But? Man, you had one job. One job, it's your social media platform, and you messed up the name. It's almost like every time Trump speaks his own mouth, stages in insurrection. That's

what happens inside there. But yeah, Trump insists that he is not going back to Twitter. He's going to stick with truth Soco, which so far has been a total bust. Apparently the app only has five hundred thousand daily users, and to put it in perspective, Twitter, the thing that it's supposed to be replacing, has two hundred and seventeen million daily users. Yea, so truth Social is competition for Twitter, the same way that Gown the plane was competition for

Mike Tyson. Also, it doesn't vote well that Trump himself has only posted untruth social one time ever. Yeah, and that was two months ago. Think about how crazy there is people. When he was on Twitter, trumpets in like what fifty tweets every time you went to the bathroom. But now he hasn't posted in two months. I'm just saying, man, somebod needs to get this guy some prunes, you stack. He's in trouble now. Apparently this has been an interesting

part of the story. Apparently a lot of Republicans are secretly thrilled if Trump would never come back to Twitter. Yeah, because they don't like the drama that he would create and and it makes sense. Do you remember do you remember what it was like when he was on Twitter? All right? He would say something, you tweet something random, like Congress should make it illegal to speak Spanish, And then all day reporters would be tracking down Republican senators

in the whole way. Remember they chased them like do you agree with the president that it should be illegal just make Spanish? And then the senators would have to come up with new ways to answer without answering, you know, you know, because always those weird press conferences, Remember they had to evade the questions without angering Trump. It was always him in the whole way. He's just being like an inundated like the people be like, uh, did I

say what what the president tweet? And well, I have seen Twitter as a company, and I have seen the president as well, and I would love to comment on this particular tweet, but I'm about to eat this shrimp which will give me a severe allergic reaction. Sorry, I can't talk. I'm dying. I'm dying throwing closing up. Thank

you very much, No more comments. I'll be honest, though, the only reason I would want Trump back on Twitter, The only reason because I know, yes, it would probably lead to another term and it would destroy the country. But I just I just really want to see his word old scores to see him. Can you see him every day being like? How could trunk child not be a word? I use it all the time? All right,

moving on, let's talk about youth sports. That's how we teach young children to feel inferior from as young and age as possible. There are a few components to youth sports, all right. You need the coaches, um, you need the equipment. You need a McDonald's nearby for afterwards so you can immediately undo all of their exercise. And you need the jerseys to be sponsored by a local business this like

Joey's Dildo Emporium. And one other thing you need. Maybe the most important parts is a referee, which is starting to become a problem. Next the bad behavior leading to a shortage of umpires and referee. It's kind of sad here. Youth sports leagues are having a hard time finding people to officiate games, and they say one reason gets the

disrespect not from kids but from parents and coaches. There's been a dramatic drop in revs across youth sports in all age groups nationwide based on early data, In estimated three thousand high school referees have quit since One of the reasons was abuse, abuse, and mistreatment by parents and players. Mistreatment like this, a Massachusetts referee punched on the ice by youth hockey coach and this unsuspecting referee plowed down on a California soccer field. God damn flag on the plate.

Flag on the plate. You see how while those parents are what are they selling up the concession stand? Myth? What are you doing when I see I don't blame the referees one bit for wanting no part of this. Of course they're gonna quit. It's completely unacceptable for parents to do that during their kids game. Think about what lesson are you teaching your children? Huh that if a reff makes a bad qull it's okay for a parent to store the field. No, kids need to learn to

kick the refs ask themselves. Yeah, you teach themselves reliance. Come on, guys, and you know, to me, this feels like a wider trend in society. Like I don't know if you guys have noticed. The people just feel like they're getting angry recently, you know, passengers, fighting flights, attendants,

road rages at an all time high. Like instead of COVID test I feel like the government should be sending everyone edibles, you know, Yeah, that way when parents run on the field, they'll be like, hey, raff, have you noticed that it's called and touchdown? But you don't have to like touch it down, man, dude, It's like what brow All right, let's move on to a story about

the housing markets. Ever since the pandemic started, housing prices have been going through the roof, and even with the hole in the roof, people are still like, it's fine, we'll take it. We'll take it. But if you really want to know how high the demandful houses is right now, look no further than this listing house in Fairfax, Virginia just sold for more than eight hundred thousand dollars. And that comes with a stranger living in the basement. The

listening agent told The New York Posts. Somebody who had offered to clean the home years ago now lives in the basement without paying rent, and the seller is an elderly man in the hospital as family can't afford to go through the eviction process. The agent says they received five cash offers in less than one week. What they say, stranger in the basement. So people are so desperate to get a house they're even willing to be in the reboots of parasite. This is what we're doing now. It's

not for real, not for real. I mean, I'm I'm pretty certain. I'm pretty certain there's the US time that Zillo has as estimate for how long until the squatter murders you. I will say this though, props to the squatter. Yeah no, because this is someone who knows commitments. They refused to leave to the point that the real estate agent had to include them in the tour. You understand

how wild that is. You've got a realtor just walking through the house, like, as you can see, we've got three beds, two baths, yeah, one creep and a washer dryer. Very nice. I'm sorry, could you go back the two beds? I know, right? Yeah, Although knowing real estate agents, I bet when they listed the house they didn't say the house had a squatter. They probably made it sound like

a like a feature just being like head in the basement. Um, you'll find an unsolicited in home companion very in right now, everyone wants one everyone. But yeah, that's how crazy this housing market is right now. And think about it. That's what's happening in Virginia, by the way, Virginia. Yeah, New York is on another level. You want to see real crazy come to New York. Yeah here, you paid five thousand dollars a month and you still have to share foot on with the clown from it. Hey, do you

think maybe you could close your eyes? You know, just just it's a little bit creep, you know what. Never mind, that's fine. They said you should wash your makeup before you sleep. You know, it's anyway, good night. And finally, finally, that movie is going straight to DVD. Very popular, very popular. Finally, if you've ever tried to get work done in the coffee shop, you know that it's not easy to stay focused.

You know, there's always people coming in and out. You've got to ignore the distracting conversations people having, and you've got to pretend that you didn't burn the ship out of your mouth like a loser who's never drank coffee before. But now in Japan, there's a new kind of cafe

that will help you stay on track. For writers under deadline, go to Tokyo's manuscript writing cafe with an understanding they can't leave until their work is done okay, and there is some prodding thrown in to make sure that they buckle down and finished. Customers while they walk in write down their names, writing goals, and the amount of time they need to finish, and the cafe staff holds them accountable with three levels of progress checks, mild, normal and hard.

Customers who choose mild only get a verbal confirmation when they pay, those who choose normal get a progress check every hour. And for those who decide to go hard on themselves, they will feel silent pressure from staff who will stand frequently behind them. Say, silence pressure. What is that? It has to be the most Japanese thing I've ever heard. Coffee shops where they shame you into being efficient. Coffee shops.

I don't know about being efficient, all right. They're about spending an hour trying to figure out the difference between a scone and a biscuit. That's what it is, the differences you can charge twice for a skull. But this attitude is why people in japanel so stressed out man constant pressure to be perfect. They don't need efficiency coffee shops in Japan. They need black barbershops, that's what they need. Yeah,

people in japanel stress. If that black barbershops, you wouldn't have that in your space where you can chill spend time arguing about topics that don't matter. You know, guy's cutting your hair, Like, are you kidding me? Che o? Man, if Martha was around there, God Dinna wouldn't be shipped. God Dina wouldn't be ship. Don't play around with marthra baby, oh ship, I got your line all wround there, my

bad man, you'd be you bad? Just wear a hat like I'm not sure the Japanese approach of judging someone silently will work, especially not in America. You know, you know here they should make it that if you don't finish your screenplay, one of those hockey parents shows up and beats the ship out of you. Here's no an issue with the story though this This Japanese coffee shop say they will help anyone become more efficient, but they

don't want to know what you're working on. I feel like that could backfire badly, you know, just like have you finished your work? It's like, yes, my manifesto has been completed in record time. Like what now, Yeah, let's do it all right, that's it for the headlines, But before we go, let's check in on traffic with our very own rowing June. Everybody's saying, ay, that's happening, that it's good, just to see if that's right. You know, progress is a process. But I'm out here like a

pigeon at the bakery trying to get my bread up. Man, I'm good. Wow. I don't know what that means. But thank you Roy, now real quick before falling at like the thing with with the coaching and the parents and attacking the referees and all of that. The issue is that if you want your kids like the problem is the parents being there at the game. You want your kid to be good. That's why you get behave in that way. But we all know that the secret to your child being good at sports is to not be

in their life. Just don't be present, don't. That's don't don't. That is that is called the preparation. It's called preparation to make your child better. Trevor. I don't want to get into the statistic, but the fewer parents you have in your life, the better you are at that sport. Everybody knows that, bro I was great at baseball. I was great at baseball second grade. My mama came home and she told me that her and my daddy was getting back together. And I was like, what is it then,

because yeah, I'm not gonna be good at baseball. If y'all gonna both be in my life, let's you you have to remove one of the neglect is the real M v P doll them telling you trust me like my child, my child, I love my child. We both finished life. He ain't gonna be good at baseball, he played chanting in the peato you speak another language. He is doomed. You can't get a jump shot doing all that.

You can't do that man. And then also with the song with the old Japanese thing, with the with the cafe, the coffee shop, you can't like. If you want people to be efficient, you can't make them comfortable. That's part of the problem. You ever been in the cafe, it's free, wifi's music, jazz music playing. They got the nice seats with the cushions. You don't want to get nothing done. You have you ever eate dining in at a fast

food spot? What do you mean like like Pope Eyes or somewhere like Do you ever just sat down into the dining in at the fast Fools? You ever seen somebody getting work done at a fast food spot? Wait? Wait, you can sit down at the Popeyes. I wouldn't recommend it, you can't. You should probably get it to go. But like most of these places, a fast food spot is built to keep you from procrast dating. The chairs bolted to the floor, ain't no cushion, you can't even recline

in the thing. So you're ready to get up out the door the fuewer seat like you can get you can get coffee at the gas station, right, Is there a chair at the gas station? No, no, that's not because they want you to get your gass back out there and get to work. But if you have a chair, you broke ras. But why do you think that that? Why do you think they got that squatter in Virginia because they got chairs in that house? If he had no chairs at that house, I don't think about a squatter.

Ain't number the professional procrastinator and you got a chair. Why do you think that happened? Man? So they didn't have a chance in the house you don't think that person moved be there, absolutely not. Expert man, Let's get to these roads. Let me ask you a question about this. Why do I always have to do the traffic? Why? Because it's always bad. It's always this ship and then

people associate that. But then you put my name to it, Roy but the traffic, Roy but the traffic, then they associate me with that when what it should be is Roy with the traffic brought to you by Trevor Noah you no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's not but it's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing. Like, no one's hating you because of the traffic. You don't see the tweets that I get on the regular basis about this traffic. I don't appreciate that. Also,

speaking of which, why don't I have a chair? Yeah? Why did? Well? Because I want to inspire you to keep things moving. Oh well, let me help you out there. Oh oh wow, Well, thank you so much.

Welcome back to the Day Show. My guest tonight is Grammy Award winning global superstar Burner Boy.

He's here to talk about becoming the first Nigerian artist to play and sell out Madison Square Garden. Please welcome. You're going to get m the man, the myth, the legend. I don't know about that. How are you doing? My friend has been a long time man. Yeah, you've been conquering. The last time we spoke, we were just talking about how amazing your album was going African Giant. It was killing it. People were loving it was blowing up all over the globe. I was talking about the Grammys, your

future aspirations. Then the pandemic hits. You produced an album in that pandemic and you went on to win your first Grammy. Congratulations, brother, congratulations. Let's up. So let's let's start with that. I was shocked to find out that you produced the album like on zoom. I mean, you've got some of the biggest features on the you know, got everybody from Chris Martin and you do this on zoom technology. But how do you know it's going well

on Zoom, Like, I don't even know something. You don't okay, you hope for the best. Was there ever a moment where you were recording something on Zoom it sounded great, then you got it. Then you're like, no, it doesn't sound It's not like you record the song on Zoom's not like Zoom has a recording studio. I don't know, man,

I don't know how zoom works. So basically, you just have the laptop on in the studio with all the parties involved, and while while we're making the music and stuff, and then you know, everyone's like, okay, yeah, this is the song we have to choose. We're going to choose this, you know, and then yeah, it just worked out. I want to ask you about the artists though. You know, one thing I've truly loved is how like Nigerian artists have taken Africa to the world. Men, You've blown up

the content. Everyone is now trying to emulate what Nigerian artists are creating. But but surely are the answers that you dreamed of working off, that you were shocked to

be working with when you were working with them. Everyone everyone on my last album and the previous like working with Angeli ki Jo on the previous one and working with you soon though, Like these are people that I worked on TV when I was in pampas, you you know, Like so it's like seeing them in real life and actually making music with them and you know, getting the love and right and all that. It's it's sometimes it gets kind of weird because I'm like, ah, it's like,

my mom loves you. Your mom A lot of people may don't know this, but your mom is your manager. Yeah, yeah, Mama Berner crushes it by the way. I love her. I love her. But but here's but here's what I've always wondered, And it seems differently. You know, in America, there's a culture of they call him the managers, you know, and it's like this idea is like if your parents is your manager, things always go wrong on your side. It feels like it's going the exact American manager. But

sure it was. It was there not a part of you that was worried about having your mom be your manager. I mean it's it's like it's it's obviously it's not. It's not all peaches and roses, you get me. But it's a lot of food, So I mean that makes me happy enough. You're the artist, your mom is the manager. Technically that's a power balance that has shifted over. But now she's your mom and she's an African mom, which

means the power balance never shifts over so exactly. So are there moments where your mom goes like, no, this is this is how we're doing and that's how we do it well? I mean you know what she does now like she used to do that and then she that wouldn't work out for her because you know it's like me like I just get storach, I'm not exactly, so she figured out an other way. She would make me feel like it's my decisions. Mama Bernard. You got your family with you. You you tour with them, You're

traveling around the world. Yo. Can I just say congratulations as well and everything? I mean, selling out the Old two Arena in London, selling out, um you know the Forum in Hollywood now, the first Nigerian artist to ever sell out Madison Square Guarden and to play it as well. But you know one thing, do you know one thing I always wondered like, yeah, why why how come what

it's me? They always point out that the fact that I'm the first to do it, like the first they landed on the Moon's Like why why when rock bands performed in in Tokyo and stuff, they don't say the first American rock band to perform in Tokyo. I think because they're surprised. This is an element of surprise, you know. But why because we've come a long way? Do you know how far Medicine's Square Garden is from Africa? Yeah? But like do you know how fire Way Tokyo is

for the for kids that money? But you see, that's the thing, if you think about it. Culture has for such a long time been defined by America, and so it makes sense in a way for people to go. Of course, the music is gonna go there, you know what I mean? But now think about things like two women. But think about it right for for for the world to change the way it has. I mean you you you see Beyonce incorporating your music into her vibe. Do you get what I'm saying? These are big things that

have never happened. It's beautiful, like everyone everyone was here. I would incorporate my music into you know every time when I live speaking to you every time I see, the biggest difference between Nigerians and almost every other African is that, like every other African has like a very um, what's the word I'm looking for, very timid approach to life, like literally with like if you say to like a

South African, hey, Trevor, you're doing well, how are things going? Then, as a South African, my instinct to respond, it's like I'm trying, man, I'm you know, I'm doing okay, I'm trying, you know, like you see you see. This is what I mean by Nigerians. That's what I mean. No, no, but that's what I mean. So and everywhere you go to Kenya everything, how how the thing we don't lie unless we want to stop you. This is Nigerians Nigerian. I've never met a Nigerian who's going to be like, no,

I'm not killing it. If they're killing it, they won't be like yeah, So you think it's you think it's that. It's just like sometime to lie about like if you're in court and you're about to go to jail, you should lie, you get me. But if you're killing it, if you're killing it, like you should be happy. Um, let's talk about the new album. I've noticed you've teased a few snippets from it. But you're doing that thing always talk about that. Let's talk about this. Why have

you time? This a good time? I come here? You never for me? No drink? This for me chocolates and see and like like, I'm bugs bonny or attended. But what I need to drink? What are you going to offer you? Things that people that look like me would maybe think? Maybe think this glasses up to you on that side. So you see, I mean, I'm I'm actually repressing that I need to drink. You know what I love.

I can always get you a drink. The only thing I have to remember is to switch out the things that happened, because I'll get you the drink and then I'll leave the drinks there and then you find like, let's say like Kamala Harris comes to the show the next day and the backstage she's like, wow, I was getting turned Um, what what is your drink of choice? What would you like next? I'll make sure I get a you next time. What do you want? Man? I

don't want to promote no one right now? Okay, you'll tell me, but you want so Water's not for burner, you know what. That's definitely for me. But it's like, you know, when I'm when I'm dressed like this, make sure make sure we get burner. What else would you like? What else would you like? Backstage? Well, I mean I really got some weeds. I'm good. I said what I love about? Great with you? All right? Now can we

talk about the album? Yeah? Now that you've called me out for stiff drinks, I like, how angry about the chocolates are you offer me? Cho Um? What what did they bread to? Oh? Um? You've teased the album, but you've done that thing artists do where we don't know when it's coming, We don't know who's gonna be. Like I saw a snippet of you in the studio. I saw I saw Ed Sheering and people lost their mindstarts like Ed Sheering looks like he's going to be on

the album. But you won't tell when is the album coming out? Bernad Uh Okay Okay, So now the Nigerian doesn't want to tell the truth. Okay, you see that's the thing. I didn't say anything. Okay, silence all right about it? Because you're my guy. You know I won't I won't let you down in front of all these people. Um, okay, so it's gonna I'll give you a hint. It's gonna come out on a day everyone celebrates for theirself when

it's their own day. All right. I don't know what that means, but I can I feel it something deep for you to taple. You just left me with a riddle that I've got to go and figure out. I'm like, is it a Friday? Is it a birthday? Is it a Sunday? Is a Saturday? Depends on the day that you celebrate what you do, you know, not what you do is you just sell everybody. It's like it's not everybody in the world that has a job, you know. So it's like nobody no everybody has but this everybody

has it, so everybody has their day to celebrate it. Okay, we're gonna figure this out, man, We're gonna figure this out. Burnaby, everybody. Thank you someone for dun out so good. But to have you. I'll have a drink next time. It's definitely can't watch Bernardoard made Square Garden only if you gonna take it because it's sold out one night in state. We're gonna take a quick break, but we're right back.

I love how Sfore, before we go, I just wanted to remind you that many four thousand homes have been destroyed and more than forty thousand people have been displaced by the floods and the mud slides in my home country, South Africa. Now. Gift of the Givers an amazing South African organization that is helping on the ground to help those affected by these floods. So please, if you can help them in their work in any way, then donates
