Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists.
Speaker 3: At Comedy Central, It's America's only source for news.
Speaker 2: This here's the Daily Too, with your home Jordan Plener.
Speaker 4: Welcome to Dana Shock, Jordan Glucko. We have a lot
Speaker 4: to talk about Tonight. Trump gets romantic at the worst
Speaker 4: possible moment, Marco Rubio has the ultimate glow up, and
Speaker 4: the White House celebrates bring your elon to Workday. So
Speaker 4: let's get into another installment of the Second Coming of
Speaker 4: Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump. I'm gonna comedy.
Speaker 4: Yesterday was a busy day at the White House. First,
Speaker 4: Trump met with the King of Jordan the country Jordan,
Speaker 4: not the boss of me, and King Abdulla the Second. Okay,
Speaker 4: of course. Trump invited the king to discuss his plan
Speaker 4: to displace two million people and turn Gaza into the
Speaker 4: Atlantic City of the Middle East, which sounds pretty clear
Speaker 4: cut to me, but apparently the nitpickers and the media
Speaker 4: still have questions. You said before that the US would
Speaker 4: buy Gaza.
Speaker 1: And today you just said.
Speaker 3: We're not going to buy.
Speaker 5: God, We're not gonna have to buy We're not gonna
Speaker 5: buy anything. We're gonna have it, and we're gonna keep it,
Speaker 5: and we're going to make sure that there's going to
Speaker 5: be peace and there's not going to be any problem.
Speaker 1: And nobody's gonna question it.
Speaker 4: There's no problem, and nobody's gonna question it. Trump is
Speaker 4: like a Jedi who doesn't have the force. I'll take Gaza.
Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna question it. Nobody is this thing working?
Speaker 1: Is this thing?
Speaker 4: But Trump has another plan to can convince the haters
Speaker 4: a charm offensive.
Speaker 1: It's a war torn area. We're gonna take it, We're
Speaker 1: gonna hold it.
Speaker 4: We're gonna cherish it. Okay, So it's going to be
Speaker 4: an ethnic cherishing. I got it, Okay, Okay, I mean,
Speaker 4: how did that start? Like a Mussolini speech? And as
Speaker 4: a boys to men's song, we will take the land.
Speaker 4: It will be ours, and we're gonna make loave to
Speaker 4: you like you want us to, and I'll hold it tight, maybe.
Speaker 2: All through the knights.
Speaker 4: And one thing I find weird about Donald Trump saying
Speaker 4: he wants to run Gaza is that, from what we've
Speaker 4: seen so far, he barely wants to run the United States.
Speaker 4: For weeks, people have been raising alarms about how Trump
Speaker 4: seems to be handing way too much power over to
Speaker 4: Elon Musk, and yesterday Trump replied, I hear you.
Speaker 2: You want me to give more power to Elon Musk.
Speaker 6: President Trump's setting new guidelines for hiring in the federal
Speaker 6: workforce while giving more power to Elon Musk and his
Speaker 6: team at the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE. Executive
Speaker 6: order directs government agencies to pursue large scale cuts, saying
Speaker 6: they now need hiring approval from DOZE.
Speaker 4: Yes, Elon Musk is now in charge of all government highlings, hirants, hirants. Sorry,
Speaker 4: I didn't say that, rich, right, I didn't say right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 4: I don't know why I keep Hitler misspeaking. I don't
Speaker 4: know why I keep misspeaking. So this was already a
Speaker 4: pretty unusual thing for president to do, but Trump being Trump,
Speaker 4: he had to make it even more ridiculous by introducing
Speaker 4: it with a full on circus act in the Oval Office.
Speaker 2: And look at this scene.
Speaker 4: Musk is holding court with his hands tinted like a
Speaker 4: Bond villain, probably to stop him from doing a Nazi
Speaker 4: salute with his with his four year old child in tow.
Speaker 2: I mean that poor kid.
Speaker 4: His dad literally runs SpaceX and Elon took him to
Speaker 4: a meeting on federal spending.
Speaker 7: Dad, are we gonna get to see the rockets?
Speaker 4: No, sun, We're gonna discuss budgets because I'm a shitty dad.
Speaker 1: I mean, everything about.
Speaker 2: This event was so bizarre.
Speaker 4: Trump was was sitting quietly for half an hour, retreating
Speaker 4: to his happy place, thinking about Arnold Palmer's giant doge.
Speaker 1: And I mean, and who thought.
Speaker 2: Cloning Stephen Miller.
Speaker 1: Was a good idea? I mean, is it for spare parts?
Speaker 4: I mean they look like a before and even more
Speaker 4: before picture. I mean, okay, all right, leaving aside this
Speaker 4: renaissance painting done by the dogs playing poker guy, It's
Speaker 4: good that we have Elon Musk here because we've been
Speaker 4: watching him slashing programs and shuddering agencies for a month now,
Speaker 4: and we can finally ask Elon, why are.
Speaker 1: You doing this?
Speaker 8: If the people cannot vote on hop they will be
Speaker 8: decided by their elected representatives in the form of the
Speaker 8: President and the Senate in the House, then we don't
Speaker 8: live in a democracy. We live in a bureaucracy. So
Speaker 8: it's incredibly important that the President of the House and
Speaker 8: the Senate decide what happens as opposed to a large
Speaker 8: unelected bureaucracy.
Speaker 4: Wow wow, I mean you see why this guy's a genius.
Speaker 4: You don't want an unelected bureaucrat running the country. It
Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense. No questions here. I do
Speaker 4: have one question, though, isn't that you?
Speaker 7: I mean, am I going crazy?
Speaker 4: Because it feels like I'm watching Drake sing not like
Speaker 4: us at carry Okay?
Speaker 9: Does he not know?
Speaker 4: Is having this one unaccountable bureaucrat in charge better than
Speaker 4: having those other unaccountable bureaucrats in charge? Because because at
Speaker 4: least the others have to follow transparency laws. The only
Speaker 4: thing transparent about Doge is Elon's skin. I mean, his
Speaker 4: financial disclosure is being kept secret. Doge is exempt from
Speaker 4: open records laws. And when someone on Twitter merely identified
Speaker 4: some of the people who work for Doge, Elon suspended
Speaker 4: their account and said, you have committed a crime, which
Speaker 4: we tried to fact check with career officials at the FBI,
Speaker 4: but they're all working at a Panera now. So Elon,
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, I don't think you're being that transparent.
Speaker 8: So all of our actions are maximally transparent effect, I
Speaker 8: don't think there's been I don't know of a case
Speaker 8: that we're at. Organization's be more transparent than the dose organization,
Speaker 8: and I fully expect to be scrutinized and get you
Speaker 8: a daily proctology exam.
Speaker 4: Oh well, I did the exam, and what an asshole.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 4: I don't want to give you a proctology exam. I
Speaker 4: just want to know what you're doing. Because another advantage
Speaker 4: of federal bureaucrats is that they can't have conflicts of interest,
Speaker 4: whereas you seem to have every conflict of interest. SpaceX
Speaker 4: has government contracts, Tesla is under government oversight, X is
Speaker 4: under government investigation, and his hair plugs are being investigated
Speaker 4: by the Department of.
Speaker 2: No one's buying this.
Speaker 4: You're basically a walking conflict of interest. Is that not
Speaker 4: a huge problem?
Speaker 8: Well, all of our actions are are fully public. So
Speaker 8: if you see anything you say like, wait a second, hey,
Speaker 8: you know what that doesn't that seems like maybe that's
Speaker 8: you know, there's a conflict there. I like, we are
Speaker 8: going to be shy about saying that. They'll say it immediately,
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 4: Oh good, Okay, if we see a conflict, we just
Speaker 4: need to say something.
Speaker 7: Hey, Eylon. I know as a conflict did that work?
Speaker 4: No, No, nothing happened. There's no accountability and nothing matters. Great,
Speaker 4: perfect system.
Speaker 2: Well walk it.
Speaker 4: He's not going to be transparent and he's riddled with
Speaker 4: conflicts of interest, but at least he's a genius and
Speaker 4: the work he's gonna do will be flawless.
Speaker 10: And missus must you said on x that an example
Speaker 10: of the fruit that you have cited was fifty million
Speaker 10: dollars of condoms was sent to Gaza. How can we
Speaker 10: make sure that all the statements that you said were correct,
Speaker 10: so we can't trust what you're saying.
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, some of the things that I
Speaker 8: say will be incorrect and should be corrected. So nobody's
Speaker 8: gonna put a thousand.
Speaker 7: Nobody's going to bat a thousand.
Speaker 4: You made up a fifty million dollar conspiracy of sending
Speaker 4: condoms to Gaza. You're not grounding out to third, You're
Speaker 4: puking into the umpire's mind. Just for the record, of course,
Speaker 4: the United States didn't send fifty million dollars worth of
Speaker 4: condoms to Gaza. We sent five million dollars of vibrating
Speaker 4: sex swings to North Korea. And I believe it stopped
Speaker 4: nuclear war. But don't quote me on that. I'm not
Speaker 4: going to bat a thousand. So to summarize, he's not transparent.
Speaker 4: He has tons of conflict. He believes any lie he hears,
Speaker 4: and he spreads false rumors.
Speaker 2: That go global.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I'd be pretty mad at him right now if
Speaker 4: he didn't have so much gosh darn charisma.
Speaker 8: So you know this is crazy things like just crossery,
Speaker 8: examination of social security. And we've got people in there
Speaker 8: about one hundred and fifty years old. Now do you
Speaker 8: know anyone one hundred and fifty I don't. Okay, they should
Speaker 8: be on the Guinnesspokele World records. They're messing out.
Speaker 7: So yeah, he holds tough crown, top crown.
Speaker 1: Is this thing on?
Speaker 7: Is this thing on? Anyone here from Watchington d C.
Speaker 7: Anyone know you're all from watching the DC.
Speaker 4: Look, if you want to see more of that kind
Speaker 4: of comedy, then don't worry because there's a new special
Speaker 4: coming out that's just for.
Speaker 3: You Live from the Oval Office. It's the Musk See
Speaker 3: comedy special that will have you dozing in your chair.
Speaker 3: It's Elon Musk Lolagarch.
Speaker 8: Now, do you know anyone one hundred and fifty. I
Speaker 8: don't okay, they should be on the Guinnesspokle World records.
Speaker 8: They're messing out.
Speaker 3: Oh snap, he's the CEO of comedy.
Speaker 1: I have detractors.
Speaker 3: You'll want to neurolink these jokes straight into your brainstem,
Speaker 3: featuring an opening act by the Balding Brothers. Order now
Speaker 3: and you'll get even more of Elon's most hilarious bits.
Speaker 8: Blackmailing with money yourself.
Speaker 1: The one thing he's not cutting is the last.
Speaker 8: I am aspirationally, you know, aspirationally funny.
Speaker 3: So yeah, sponsored by Doves Doves. We use the HIV
Speaker 3: prevention money to pay for this.
Speaker 4: Oh, when we come back, we find out about the
Speaker 4: man who's gonna get us into war.
Speaker 2: Don't go away.
Speaker 7: He's about the Dailor Show.
Speaker 4: Every time Donald Trunk parts out a new idea for
Speaker 4: buying a foreign country or slapping tariffs on imported salami,
Speaker 4: the person who has to translate that into policy is
Speaker 4: its Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. But how did Rubio
Speaker 4: get such an exciting job? Let's find out in a
Speaker 4: brand new Daily shoography. Egypt's foreign minister boughtter Abdolavi arrived
Speaker 4: at the State Department for talks yesterday with Secretary Rubio.
Speaker 9: Mister sick, yep, that's me, Mette. You're wondering how a
Speaker 9: fun sized Florida boy went from this.
Speaker 7: A con artist is about take take over the Republican
Speaker 7: Party and the Conservative movement, and we have to put
Speaker 7: a stop to it. To this, mister President, I think
Speaker 7: Miami Day County likes you a lot.
Speaker 1: I think they love you a lot.
Speaker 9: I wasn't always hanging out with all the cool kids
Speaker 9: at Donald Trump's lunch table. But sometimes when you're in
Speaker 9: the right place, at the right time, with the right
Speaker 9: complete lack of moral spinal integrity, magic can happen. This
Speaker 9: is the daily ghoography of me. Marco Rubio pick me
Speaker 9: in pink. I wasn't always the girl of DC. I'm
Speaker 9: actually from Miami, near Little Havana, or as I like
Speaker 9: to call it, just normal size Havannah. Graduating high school
Speaker 9: with a two point one GPA. I had the body
Speaker 9: of a Chippendale's dancer and the brain of a Chippendale's dancer. Fortunately,
Speaker 9: I got into a really good college that no one
Speaker 9: has ever heard of on a football scholarship. Some people
Speaker 9: say I'm kind of a job. Well, they don't say it,
Speaker 9: but they're thinking it. After that college I went playing
Speaker 9: for I kind of bounced around for a while. Two
Speaker 9: more schools, some epic partying, a bullshit arrest for underage drinking.
Speaker 9: I still dreamed of joining the NFL, but settled for
Speaker 9: marrying an NFL cheerleader. Being a cheerleader's husband prepared me
Speaker 9: for a lifetime of holding down jobs I'm not qualified for.
Speaker 9: After that came law school and local politics. When the
Speaker 9: Cuban American community heard how my parents have fled Castro,
Speaker 9: they embraced me wholeheartedly.
Speaker 1: I will always be the son of Exell.
Speaker 9: And when they heard I was lying about that, it
Speaker 9: was too late.
Speaker 1: I wish I would have known the date. I would have
Speaker 1: gotten it right. I would have said they came before Castro.
Speaker 9: If you want a representative who can remember dates from history,
Speaker 9: you're going to have to find someone with a better
Speaker 9: than see average. I got a seat, that's on you.
Speaker 9: Soon I became the first Cuban American speaker of the
Speaker 9: Florida House of Representatives, or, as my future boss would say,
Speaker 9: the first Mexican. He's like so funny. Next came yet
Speaker 9: another step up, the social ladder.
Speaker 4: When Marco Rubio was born in today, he'll become the
Speaker 4: second youngest US senate are currently serving at age thirty nine.
Speaker 11: People are comparing him to a young Barack Obama as
Speaker 11: a matter of fact, so annoying.
Speaker 9: Who is I was in with the in crowd. Everybody
Speaker 9: loves me. Soon the other kids tapped me to give
Speaker 9: the response to old man Obama stated the Union address. Wow.
Speaker 6: Thanks.
Speaker 9: Everything started off great, but then things started to get
Speaker 9: on born try.
Speaker 1: America continues to be indispensable to.
Speaker 9: The glow of global liberty, and drier.
Speaker 1: And the short time that I've been here and dryer.
Speaker 9: Frustrated, then dragon, I tried to move slowly so that
Speaker 9: no one would notice, but somehow everyone noticed.
Speaker 2: And that's what I call actuality.
Speaker 1: Cool one sip.
Speaker 9: I went from Sigma to beta riz depleted. I had
Speaker 9: to do something to get my mojo back, no matter
Speaker 9: how desperate.
Speaker 11: I announced my candidacy for President of the United States.
Speaker 9: Right away. The bitches got bitchy, like when I showed
Speaker 9: up for the campaign in the cutest new boots and
Speaker 9: they called them man heels and high heeled booties. Picky,
Speaker 9: I'm about my shoes. And they only go on my feet.
Speaker 9: It's called style and glaring insecurity. Ever heard of it?
Speaker 9: And then the meanest girl of them all came out
Speaker 9: of nowhere and we were.
Speaker 6: I need water help me, I need water help And
Speaker 6: he said, this is on live television.
Speaker 1: This tall choke artist. He was like pouring water. He
Speaker 1: was sweating.
Speaker 7: I've never seen anything like it.
Speaker 4: I thought he just got out of a swimming pool
Speaker 4: with his suit on him.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, well, just like a cat. When I get wet,
Speaker 9: I get mad, and also kind of like mildewing. Whatever
Speaker 9: the point is this kid, he likes to scratch.
Speaker 7: Donald is not gonna make America great.
Speaker 9: He's gonna make America orange. Mike Ethan drop as long
Speaker 9: as he can come up with a nickname for me.
Speaker 9: I had this battle one.
Speaker 5: Little I told him, little Marco Elli d d Ellie little,
Speaker 5: don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: A little Marco a little mount on him, bing bing
Speaker 3: bing bing bing bing bing bing.
Speaker 9: Okay, that's hurtful. It was time to go burn book nuclear.
Speaker 1: And you know what they say about men with small hands.
Speaker 9: Come back from that kuber.
Speaker 1: You referred to my hands.
Speaker 7: If they're fall something else must be small.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee.
Speaker 9: Oh. I was out played. I went from superstar to
Speaker 9: a short, sweaty, high hilled loser.
Speaker 7: Those were those hills, were really up there.
Speaker 9: You won't see me wearing them. But I wasn't ready
Speaker 9: to Rubio. We get it. I was down, but I
Speaker 9: wasn't out well. I was out of the presidential race.
Speaker 9: You know what I mean? Shut up? There was only
Speaker 9: one thing left to do, makeover something in many thought
Speaker 9: would never happen. Marco Rubio, supporting Trump too.
Speaker 4: Met on Capitol Hill yesterday, has of course endorsed Trump,
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio and first daughter Ivanka Trump.
Speaker 5: He has inspired a movement and together we will not
Speaker 5: just make America great again.
Speaker 9: It was pathetic, It was embarrassing. It was so cringe
Speaker 9: that its most importantly, it worked.
Speaker 6: And Marco is a good guy, a really nice guy,
Speaker 6: and I like him.
Speaker 9: Yes, I finally made it into the inner circle. I
Speaker 9: was one of the cool kids. In the end, I
Speaker 9: realized it's not about being the richest, or the tallest
Speaker 9: or the most popular. It's what's inside that counts. And
Speaker 9: inside I have nothing, no spine, norinciples, not even a
Speaker 9: shred of dignity, because all that really matters is that
Speaker 9: when you get pushed over, you fall in line. XO xo,
Speaker 9: Little Marco, We come back.
Speaker 7: Coleman Dimingo, We'll be joining me on the show.
Speaker 2: Don't go away?
Speaker 7: What about the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an
Speaker 7: Everybody actor.
Speaker 4: Who has a second consecutive Oscar nomination for his role
Speaker 4: in the film sing sing please welcome Coleman Domingo.
Speaker 2: We're wrong, welcome the love.
Speaker 1: Did you feel even.
Speaker 4: In that clip We show a thirteen second clip and
Speaker 4: there's a beat and the audience is silent and the
Speaker 4: tear drops. That's some top not Jackson, right, you are
Speaker 4: feeling in that moment?
Speaker 5: Oh man, thank you so much. It's a beautiful film.
Speaker 5: It's a It's a film about the power of art
Speaker 5: and when you pour it into human being, what blossoms.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, that's what it's about.
Speaker 2: It's gorgeous.
Speaker 4: I wish you could just bottle like the joy and
Speaker 4: the hope that's in this film and just pass it
Speaker 4: out to everybody here.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, you did get his goods. You're gonna get one,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get You're gonna get one.
Speaker 4: It's a little bit of joy underneath all your seats.
Speaker 4: It is a beautiful story that the transformative power of art.
Speaker 4: Did you have a moment for you as somebody who's
Speaker 4: been in the arts on stage in front of the camera, Like,
Speaker 4: what what do you think of when you you think
Speaker 4: back on that?
Speaker 5: You know, I listen, I was a a shy kid
Speaker 5: and like just a nerd, and I just feel like,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm popular, and honestly the moment, I took
Speaker 5: a theater class. And it sounds so like silly in
Speaker 5: a way, but I took a theater class and I
Speaker 5: felt like I came alive because you know, I started
Speaker 5: to put myself in someone else's shoes and become other characters.
Speaker 5: And I really felt like I had a voice. And literally,
Speaker 5: I think my voice dropped into a deeper place. And
Speaker 5: usually even when I teach acting every so often I
Speaker 5: would teach acting, I teach people more than anything to.
Speaker 1: Have a voice.
Speaker 5: I think that's the most important thing that you get
Speaker 5: out of like learning theater, you know, in every single way.
Speaker 5: So that's the gift that I was given, and that's
Speaker 5: what I like to share with other people. And that's
Speaker 5: why this film is very important to me because I
Speaker 5: feel like it's just about finding your voice, finding that
Speaker 5: you have feelings, you can name them and you can
Speaker 5: actually place them. And actually it does some really good work.
Speaker 5: In our film, it's based on our rehabilitation of the
Speaker 5: arts program at Sing Sing Prison, where these inmates were
Speaker 5: doing theater and they really gained some skills that they
Speaker 5: didn't know that they even needed, and so much so
Speaker 5: that it just transformed their lives.
Speaker 1: And a lot of these.
Speaker 4: A lot many of the actors in the film were
Speaker 4: a part of this program were formally incarcerated.
Speaker 5: Ninety percent of our cast are formally incarcerated men.
Speaker 4: Is that right?
Speaker 2: It's it's remarkable. What is it?
Speaker 1: What is it like?
Speaker 4: What is it like collaborating with folks who are formally
Speaker 4: incarcerated compared to Hollywood NEPO babies.
Speaker 1: Like we're just relieved to be like, oh, there's no
Speaker 1: babies on the today, thank god, finally.
Speaker 5: But you know what's kind of cool is that these
Speaker 5: guys had the lived experience of going through this, but
Speaker 5: also they were trained while they were on the inside.
Speaker 1: So I was working with actors people.
Speaker 5: Had training and had respect for Shakespeare, and you know,
Speaker 5: we were just doing the work together. So we sat
Speaker 5: at the table and we just collaborated in a very
Speaker 5: gentle way. Now, these guys, a lot of guys were
Speaker 5: in prison, maybe twenty years, twenty five years and so
Speaker 5: but I love it's a little subversive because when you
Speaker 5: see the film, you don't know really. Now you know
Speaker 5: because I told you, But you don't know really still
Speaker 5: because it feels like a documentary in some way, but
Speaker 5: you realize that people are playing versions of themselves when
Speaker 5: they were inside.
Speaker 1: It's really incredible.
Speaker 4: When you're even working with like one of your close
Speaker 4: friends who you're sort of paired with. Within the film, Clarence,
Speaker 4: you have scenes where you're actually working about going over
Speaker 4: lines and what have you, which in some ways is
Speaker 4: almost meta as to the things that you were doing.
Speaker 5: All It is so meta because a lot of these
Speaker 5: guys actually were We filmed in two decommissioned prisons in Upstate,
Speaker 5: New York, and a lot of guys passed through those
Speaker 5: pigeons on prisons. They Downstate is one of those prisons
Speaker 5: that everyone sort of lands at and then they're spread
Speaker 5: out throughout New York. But a lot of guys were,
Speaker 5: like Clarence, Macklin Junior. Literally he said he was in
Speaker 5: We were filming one scene and he knew, oh no, there.
Speaker 1: Was a cell that I was in before.
Speaker 5: So it will have that meta, but also had a
Speaker 5: meta quality that my best friend Shawn San Jose is
Speaker 5: actually my best friend?
Speaker 1: Is that actually exactly.
Speaker 5: I've known him for thirty years. He's another professional actor
Speaker 5: that I know from San Francisco. So there is the
Speaker 5: meta of That's why I think it feels like a
Speaker 5: documentary because there's.
Speaker 1: Something really real happening.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I feel like, you know, there's no real
Speaker 5: The only agenda is looking into a person's humanity and
Speaker 5: filling it with art and hope. That's the agenda of
Speaker 5: the you.
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, I find you know what I found really remarkable.
Speaker 4: It's such a lovely film. It feels so it's the
Speaker 4: right word. It feels insular in that like I've seen
Speaker 4: many films that take place inside of prison that have
Speaker 4: so many external plots that act on these characters, and
Speaker 4: I think this movie lives so much within the characters,
Speaker 4: and there's a world that exists outside of it and
Speaker 4: consequences that exist within the prison itself, but it really
Speaker 4: sits with people kind of dealing with their own emotions
Speaker 4: and how they can connect them, which.
Speaker 5: Is so rare because usually anytime you see a prison
Speaker 5: drama or something, it's all these tropes that you usually see.
Speaker 5: It's violence, it's a horror story. Now I'm not going
Speaker 5: to say it's not a horror story, but inside there
Speaker 5: are other people in there, people who are like trying
Speaker 5: to advocate for others who are in the law library,
Speaker 5: trying to advocate for good food or make sure they're
Speaker 5: a fellow inmate is ready for their parole board hearing,
Speaker 5: or starting theater programs or gardening or taking care of
Speaker 5: animals and things like that, and how it's having a
Speaker 5: profound effect on them so much so, and I love
Speaker 5: to give this out because a lot of people don't know,
Speaker 5: Like I didn't know about this until I started going
Speaker 5: on this journey, that there is a three percent recidivism
Speaker 5: rate amongst members who go through this program compared to
Speaker 5: sixty percent nationwide.
Speaker 1: So it's something that works, Is that right? That's the truth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, A little bit of hope and a connection to
Speaker 4: one another.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5: But also I like to say the film is actually
Speaker 5: really funny too, which no one would ever believe when
Speaker 5: you think, oh, it's about like inmates, you're like, it's
Speaker 5: actually really funny.
Speaker 1: These guys are doing.
Speaker 5: Some First of all, we have a whole crazy play
Speaker 5: musical that we're.
Speaker 4: Doing in it, and that's based on there's a little
Speaker 4: bit it's based.
Speaker 1: On a wheel.
Speaker 5: It's called Breaking the Mummy's Code. You have everything in
Speaker 5: there from mummies and Freddy Krueger, and so you got
Speaker 5: these grown men putting on a play and watching them
Speaker 5: in their antics and rolling around on the floor being silly.
Speaker 5: But also it brings up these really warm feelings. I
Speaker 5: feel like I know any anyone that know who's watched it,
Speaker 5: they're very surprised because they go and thinking it's gonna
Speaker 5: be one thing, and they walk out feeling filled with
Speaker 5: so much hope and love for their fellow man.
Speaker 1: And it's I think that's what we need right now.
Speaker 5: We need more warm feelings, right.
Speaker 1: We need a warm villain.
Speaker 2: We do.
Speaker 4: So you're gonna you're gonna win an oscar for this.
Speaker 2: You have your speech written? No, no, no, what do
Speaker 2: you do? Do you get a prep one?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: No you can't, you can't. I just feel like you're
Speaker 1: gonna kill it, kill it.
Speaker 5: If I just think it's in like I don't know,
Speaker 5: it's it's something. I'm a little superstitious about that any
Speaker 5: award that I've ever won. A lot of times i'm
Speaker 5: working and I'm not able to be at an award show,
Speaker 5: which I always feel like, well, maybe that's good because
Speaker 5: maybe I don't know I'm gonna react like a weirdo
Speaker 5: or something. Or I'm at the award show and literally
Speaker 5: my publicist she literally told me, she said, you didn't
Speaker 5: expect to win?
Speaker 1: Did you say?
Speaker 5: I don't even think about winning. I just sit and
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm happy to be there. I'm just with
Speaker 5: a big smile on my face, hugging and kissing people,
Speaker 5: and I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, oh wow, I got to get to the stage
Speaker 1: and say something.
Speaker 5: But then I try to trust that I'll be in
Speaker 5: the moment and I try to say something loving. I'll
Speaker 5: try to say something appealing to the moment, and.
Speaker 1: That's all I can do.
Speaker 5: But I don't want to I'm not going to be
Speaker 5: standing there like, oh, I want to, you know, first thing,
Speaker 5: thank God, and then.
Speaker 1: You know, I'll thank God on my own. But I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what I mean, that's personal. You
Speaker 1: might be judging people who do that, but I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that, like wow, wow, wow, things are really dark here. No, No,
Speaker 1: I think it's important, but that's private for me.
Speaker 5: For me, I think I like to have those private
Speaker 5: conversations and I'll say something to appeal to the moment,
Speaker 5: but I think.
Speaker 1: Like I'll thank you afterwards.
Speaker 4: Really, Yes, Okay, I appreciate that it would mean more
Speaker 4: on stage, I will say another fun thing that I
Speaker 4: mean just just saying structural nice for my family to
Speaker 4: see it as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, nope, taking no taking good. You're a co chair
Speaker 1: of the upcoming meta. Yes, so that's I mean, I
Speaker 1: mean that's that's a lot. That's a lot.
Speaker 7: I mean does that add pressure?
Speaker 4: Like now you can you even go to the store
Speaker 4: anymore without thinking about, like you need to dress?
Speaker 1: I look like, no, yeah, I do have to.
Speaker 5: I actually because I'm such a I thought for a
Speaker 5: long time nobody would recognize this face, but now they
Speaker 5: recognize it everywhere, and so I have to dress for
Speaker 5: it as well. Because also because I've sort of me
Speaker 5: and my stylists have been sort.
Speaker 1: Of slammed the game when it comes from Okay.
Speaker 2: I.
Speaker 5: I mean it feels it's fun to dress, and I
Speaker 5: want I want to get more guys to dress.
Speaker 1: You said you wore that blue suit for me.
Speaker 4: I did, right, one hundred percent did because people like, oh, Coleman,
Speaker 4: dimgo's coming out there, He's gonna look fantastic.
Speaker 1: Get that blue suit.
Speaker 7: And they're like, get the blue suit.
Speaker 2: No, get the extra blue suit.
Speaker 1: Good. Yeah, this is me, this is me pushing boundaries.
Speaker 1: It's great, man. But also think that that's what it's
Speaker 1: all about.
Speaker 5: And I love the idea that this this met gala
Speaker 5: is going to be centered on tailoring towards the black
Speaker 5: dandy essentially, so it's honoring black men's style throughout history.
Speaker 5: And literally I just had a meeting at the Costume
Speaker 5: Institute and I was blown away in an extraordinary way
Speaker 5: because it's really looking at tailoring, tailor. There's so much
Speaker 5: more to it than one would even imagine. But it's historical.
Speaker 5: It's also how people define themselves and redefine themselves and
Speaker 5: then how they show up in the world. And I
Speaker 5: feel like I know that I know as a black
Speaker 5: man in the world. I know that the way I
Speaker 5: show up. I mean, look at all these the basketballers
Speaker 5: and stuff like that. Everybody's stunting now when they come
Speaker 5: out because they're telling a story and they're showing how
Speaker 5: they define themselves and redefine themselves regardless of the way
Speaker 5: the world may perceive them. They're like, no, and you
Speaker 5: do that with style. So what I'm telling you all
Speaker 5: is get a good sense of style.
Speaker 7: Thank you, work on it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna work on my style. Yeah, and thank you
Speaker 2: for the film. It truly is.
Speaker 4: It, truly is a wonderful piece of art. And if
Speaker 4: you have even just like just a little shout out
Speaker 4: from that stage, just even just like a quick thank you,
Speaker 4: Jordan will goal.

Speaker 11: say here.

Speaker 11: is effective messaging for confronting what is a potentially irreversible
