Speaker 1

You're listening to Comedy Central from New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that he doesn't need. It's the Daily Show with your host for the shots. I want the sights. Wow. Hey, all right, that's a knot. Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm wanting the sykes and I'll be your host this week. Yeah. My wife asked me to load the dishwasher and I needed an out. So I'm so happy to be here. We've got a great show for you tonight. We've got a lot of

news to cover. We've got my friend Mike Epps in the house so well. I don't know how your is going, but it has not been going well for President Joe Biden. Just when we were ready to move on to the next scandal, the FBI searched this house for thirteen hours on Friday and they found even more classified documents. At this point, the FBI is just decluttering Biden's house form. They're like Marie Condo, going around his rooms like this list of spies. That's not spark joy No. But honestly,

this doesn't bother me at all. I mean, come on, the man has been in public office for two hundred and thirty eight years. I bet you most of the ship he has isn't even classified anymore. You read his notes and it's like, keep an eye on this Hitler guy. It's just history now. It's just history. Now. They're teaching this stuff in schools. Well not in Florida. But you know, by the way, some of you might not know. But before doing stand up, I worked at and It's safe

for seven years. Yeah, it's true. I had a top secret clearance and everything. Thank me for my service, David. So I gotta say this story has me a little concern. You know, I'm sitting here thinking, damn, what is in my garage? I put that back, right, Yeah, yeah, y'all put that back. I put that back. But in Biden's defense, at least he is cooperating with the FBI searches right. In fact, he's been so cooperative it's makes me. It makes me wondering, like, like, is he hoping they do

work around the house form? You know, it's bidden, Like you know, fellas, I think I have some documents up in the gutters. You might need to clear the leaves out first. I know Jill would love that. She loved that all right now. Check this story out. This weekend, the Church of England announced that it will now allow US clergy to bless same sex marriage just but they're still not going to allow the actual wedding to happen in the church. But to be honest, this is also

how I feel about any destination wedding. I ain't gonna be there, but good for y'all, it's not going okay, let's move on. Normally I don't five funerals funny. But here's a story about a funeral that I found hilarious because this funeral head Donald Trump, and that guy can turn anything into a joke. Maybe you've heard of Diamond and Silk. You know those two sisters who are always who you know, two sisters who are always showing up that his rallies, praising him on TV, setting the Black

race back fifty years. You know those two Trump helped meetings with them. He did invite them to the Oval Office. He will point at them and say, see, black people love me well. Sadly, Diamond passed away a few days ago. Yeah, and Stilt said that she wanted Trump to speak at the funeral because the three of them were so close and these Silk thought that three of them were close until Trump started to speak. You know, the world has

lost one of its brightest stars, real star. But I see that we have another star who was equal to but she stepped up and she is different. I'm serious. I thought I knew him both. I didn't. I knew I knew Diamond, but I didn't know Silk at all. I just learned about Silk. You're fantastic. You're gonna carry on beyond, beyond anybody's wildest imagination. Oh my god. I mean, it's like Trump showed up to that funeral like Diamond's dead, but I'm gonna bury Silk. Oh yeah, that's there's room

for two in that casket. I mean to say, you know Diamond, but don't know Silk is wild because they're always together. That's like saying, I know Bert, but I've never heard as Erny Fellow. What's his deal? You know, I thought sister sister was just called sister. Knowing Trump, he probably only has room for one black woman in his brain at a time. If he turns on the TV right now, he'll be like, Wow. Diamonds hosted The Daily Show. You know, you know a week ago she

was dead, but thank us to me, she's risen. And finally, did you guys watch the football game last like the nine wasn't? Yeah? Well, I tuned in to see if the Dallas kicker would keep missing next the points, and he did. He just kept missing him. And it was bad, y'all because the commentators were like, I don't even think the coach is gonna put him back out there kick again, you know. And I just thought of his poor family watching, you know, his kids sitting there. They're not gonna let

Danny kick anymore. That was awful. But then I saw something even more horrifying. It was an ad that was just for oil and gas, not any particular oil and gas company, just oil and gas in general. Check it out. What do we live in the world? Without oil and natural gas? Life would be very different because oil and gas are part of just about everything you touched, and the stuff you wear to the stuff in your hair,

there's so much more. Our world would be unrecognizable. Of the products we rely on just disappeared fetter Like next time those greedy, oily baskets say this proves y'all we're doing something right, because they're getting nervous because we're body electric cars. Were switching the solar atego and they're like right, and they're like, but we also make footballs. But you know what, I will agree with them on one thing. If there was no oil, our world would be unrecognizable.

It would look like this. Yeah, what's what's what's all that green ship on the bottom the brass? You know, I heard about it the history class. And what's what's all that ship that that disappeared into dust? Stuff? They did? Huh? They stole that right from the Avengers. That's so. So these guys are in the boardroom like, oh, we need to improve our image. Everyone likes Stanos, right, they're like Bannos. So for more on just how damaging oil is to the planet, let's go to Michael Costa, who is at

an oils field down on the Gulf coast. Michael, Wow, but lord Michael, it looks horrible down there. No, now it doesn't. All those birds are covered in oil. Okay, okay, yeah, but but but thinking about how many birds there are in the world, you know, probably hundreds. And I'm willing to let these birds suffer if that means we can keep enjoying the miracle liquid that is oil. I think that bullshit commercial actually convince you. All commercials convince me.

That's why I have fifteen insurance policies. All my money's in crypto. In the two thousands, I was always saying, oh and and this commercial made some really great points. Without oil, we would lose so many precious products like hair gel or or the bottle the hair gel comes in, or the chemicals I used to get the hair gel out of my hair. And that's just my hair, Wanda. I mean, think of how much hair is in the world. It probably hundreds look, okay, okay, we get it. You

got oil as hair. Speaking of which, what about the damaged oil is doing to our bodies? I mean kids are growing up with asthma now okay, yeah, and the asthma keeps the kids from smoking cigarettes. It's actually a thank you oil. And what about the planet? Michael is breaking down the great barrier reef. Okay, I thought we were supposed to be breaking down barriers, right, See who's the feminist? Now? Okay? I think your hair jell is leaking into your brain? Okay, trust me, Wanda. My fine

is brain, My fine is very brain. But I'll tell you what Let's imagine your fantasy world without oil, because all the things you would love would be gone. Like see these birds covered in oil. If oil didn't exist, they'd be gone. Why would the birds disappear if oil didn't exist? Wouldn't the oil on the birds just disappear? Do you know how hard it is to get oil

off of a bird? It's easier to just get rid of the birds end, and it's less bird poop to track into my lambo check that bitch out, candy Apple Red, you bought a Lamborghini? Okay, all right, that it's all making sense. The oil company has paid you to say this ship no, no, no. I was paid by an organization called the Coalition of super Ethical Energy Providers? Right? And who pays them? Wanda? Who pays anyone? You know?

I don't make decisions because someone pays me. I make decisions by taking a long, hard look in the mirror and asking myself and Wanda? Is that oil is the bedrock of our society? And the great thing about bedrock is you can drill into it to get more of that sweet sweet oil. Alright, Mike, I can play this game too if you're getting rid of birds I'm getting rid of your Lamborghini. We come on, Bragari. Victis can be at the word come on? Well, I'm thank you, right,

Michael cost to everyone all right? When we come back, Roy weren't doing here? Asked London what they think about America's done? Welcome back to the Dail Show. Over the weekend, America had yet another mass shooting, this time in Monterey Park, California. Tragically, eleven people lost their lives, and we send our thoughts and prayers to the victims and the ones recovering, and sadly that's all we do in this country because it

only happens here. And why is that? Well we all know the answer, but we sent Roy Wood Jr. Overseas anyway to double check. A little while back, I traveled to marry Old, England, a country that's got all kinds of weapons, swords, shields, wooden catapults, terrible massage chairs, even magic wands. But the one weapon you don't see is guns. So I wanted to find out why my new segment, Roy meets World Edward, Where are you from? North Yorkshire? Okay?

So do you feel safer here or visiting America? Safer here? Why? Why do you feel safer here because everybody's packing in the stage. You really don't see guns out here on a regular basis. Really, even with the cops. If you I mean, if you're walking around and you do see some cops okay, don't have guns on them. Why is that why a police don't have guns? I honestly don't know about that one. But how are you going to accidentally kill somebody you wanted to kill? Well, that's the

whole point. You shouldn't be doing that. So in the UK, how do you show how how do you show people you've got a bick dick, but you'll have a gun. I don't try and show people that I've got a big dick. I know I've got one, like I think that wins one. Are you impressed by men who have big guns? Use this way? It's not common to have guns in private homes Settle okay? So in Norway, how do men let women know that they have a big dick show it to them? I can't do that. In

the MAN that is not an option. So they are packing. See, there's so much our two cultures can learn from each other. Why do you think Americans love guns so much? I think it's something like deeply ingrained in the culture, like guns have been around for a long long time in the US. Like in the UK, it's not so much of an issue because it's very underground, whereas in America it's normal everyone. He can move into a boom and big yes and the pack of scitles and some ice

cream and do right back out the door. So where are you all from? So Africa? Why do you think Americans love guns so much? Probably the Constitution and just because they're crazy. Damn we can see us right up to think. What does America's reputation in the world. Probably mash she things as bad as it songs. That's all we know on from No Need That Dogs, Steph Curry, Why do you think Americans love guns so much? From an outsider's perspective, I think they're also really proud of

their military and everything. We will as America's whoop a lot of as you think, so at least yeah, okay, who bridge ass silvil war, we will go on ass. So they didn't really know America's record on the court. It turns out guns aren't just hurting our people, they're hurting our street cred all over the world. I feel like, you know, the US was kind of like this beacon that a lot of people followed if you look at it from the gun perspective, some of the other topics

that are going on currently as well. I think it is affecting a little of its credibility on the global stage. It's a problem when guns are good more rots than than women's within the country here, yea, you know you is it possible that the rest of the world is just being too hard on America and the gun violence we will have been around two hundred years. You gotta use some growing things. Everybody know, when you start a country, it's gonna be rough a little while because you just

want somebody's ass and disrespect. Have little faith in the country at the moment. Like I've never been, I've always wanted to visit it, but every time we talk about it, we're like, actually, the attitude not sure. So Americans might not be air being being of fully armed apartments to these people anytime soon, But that doesn't mean that all of Europe is a gun free zone. We can take Spitzburg in Norway. That's the highest density of guns in

any society in the world. Everybody has a gun in Smitsburg. That's for protected for polar bears. But they don't shoot each other. It's just for the polar bears. Yeah, but you have to wear a gun if you go outside the city. You're not allowed to go without. Wait, it's a law that you have to wear a gun in that one in the party has to wear a gun to go outside of the city limits to keep you from getting eaten bad polar bear. Right, damn mandatory guns

to fight polar bears. I'm canceling my trip to Oslo, Honduras. Here I come. Let's go pollar bears there right, thank you way, don't go away because when we come back, my caps will be joining me on the show, so stick around. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor and comedian who's up for an n double a CP Image Award for his role in our sitcom The Upshaws, Part three premiers globally February on Netflix. Please welcome, my cats. It's upload. Look all right, you

coming here smelling all good? Yeah, I'll stopped at CBS and got me a little cologne, so you know. I was just in Chattanooga over the weekend, I mentioned the upshaws and the crowd went crazy. Chattanooga. That's cool. He was out there doing your standard. But the thing is, remember before he told me, hey, you know, I mentioned the upshaws and my crowd goes nuts. And then I said, okay, I'll do it. So the first season I mentioned it

took my crowd it was cricket because that's like. But this time I mentioned it like, I thought this was nuts. So we were star So that's yeah. So why do you think, why do you think it's happening? Why do you think that's happening? You know what wine does sometime when you put a little hot sauce on that fish or that chicken, you know, only get season. You gotta put a little season on it. You know what I think, me and you're coming together. We both had two different

types of audience. You know, you do a more classier style of comedy and you know I do more of a barn grill. You know. But but but I really think that you know, sometimes when when you come together and you both have two different audiences, you know it, I'm introduced to your audience and you introduced to my audience. So everybody's like because because even from my audience, they're like, man, I never would have thought to see you and wander together,

you know. So it's just one of them things. And it worked like Peanut Butter and Jeller, you know. But so I start working together, you know, you work with you know myself can feel Gabriel Hicks running the show. That's a lot of women not noticed that you're touring with h Yeah, I mean that's that's it. Yes, I getting the best of both worlds. Okay, but let me but when you're out on the road with the brothers, are you talking about us? That's what I need to know.

Did somebody tell you that earthquakes earthquakes? Well you know, well you know what these are. And those guys are friends of yours too, you know, earthquakes from d C. So you know, I think it's a whole different rhythm when I'm with the ladies. I mean, the comedy is like this, it's popping, you know.

Yea, yeah, yeah, that's pretty pretty okay. So so why why is that important for you to get to get involved like that?

You know what? I think that you know, when the world is going through something and US has comming, we go to these cities year after year making money in these cities. So I think when you know, when some of these cities going crisis, man, we didn't been to these cities. Some of these cities feel like they are hometowns because we've been going to them for so many years. So Jackson is one of the places that I've always did comedy. And they got beautiful people down there. Man,

they resilient. I said, Man, I got a show coming down there. I know they got the water crisis. I gotta give back some kind of ways. You know, I'm always making money in their town. So I say, hey, let's buy a bunch of water. Shout out to my man Hunting Street Sam. Hunt the Street Sam production was the promoters who thought about doing this, and they put it together. Man, we started passing out water. Some of the old women that was coming through their getting the water.
