Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central from New York City, the
Speaker 1: only city in America gets the show. Then he think
Speaker 1: it news. He's the Daily Show with your host Rory
Speaker 1: Wood Junior. Why going through the day show? My mom
Speaker 1: is Ry Wood Junior. This, this is what's happening right now.
Speaker 1: This is this is a big moment for me. So
Speaker 1: I want to thank my mama. I want to thank
Speaker 1: the city of Verminham. I want to thank Florida dam University.
Speaker 1: Most importantly, I gotta think Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Brad
Speaker 1: appreciates you for hooking I broke up with an indictment
Speaker 1: during my week B show. But Chulder night, but Hulda night.
Speaker 1: The gaffa homie. Senator Corey Booker in here in case
Speaker 1: there's any politically that's coming up. But first, but first,
Speaker 1: before Cory Booker, let's get into the headlines. Hit in DJA.
Speaker 1: We ain't got no DJ. Let's get writing too it now. Look,
Speaker 1: I know everybody want to talk about Trump, but first
Speaker 1: let's talk about the opposite of Trump. Women's basketball. Last night,
Speaker 1: the LSU Lady Tigers beat Iowa in a tournament that
Speaker 1: had record breaking viewership. But it wasn't just who won
Speaker 1: the game that left people talking controversy following last night's game,
Speaker 1: after LSU sophomore Angel Reese taunted Iowa star Caitlin Clark,
Speaker 1: Commentators and fans online calling Reese disrespectful and unclassy, but
Speaker 1: Reese pointed out that no one cared when Clark had
Speaker 1: made the same gesture in a previous game. Oh whoa this,
Speaker 1: you'll see what that black woman did to the white
Speaker 1: woman who did the same thing to a previous woman
Speaker 1: in a previous game. Must tweet, can't resist, must tweet talk.
Speaker 1: First off, Caitlyn Clark herself was okay with the ship.
Speaker 1: She was fine with it because Caitlyn gets that trash
Speaker 1: talk is part of the game. And I agree. First personally,
Speaker 1: I think trash talk is good for sports sports. It's
Speaker 1: better when that's trash talk, even better when it might
Speaker 1: start a race war. You can't see me, you can't
Speaker 1: see me. And to be honest, man, this was some
Speaker 1: good competition, yo. Caitlyn Clark versus andrew Es. This might
Speaker 1: be the new Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird. This might
Speaker 1: be the start of a few that bleeds into the
Speaker 1: professional And then too, the n W NBA. You think
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark came back in Iowa right now, training you
Speaker 1: think she right now dunking off the side of a
Speaker 1: bar las, You might have messed up and created a monster.
Speaker 1: The last thing you want your life as a white
Speaker 1: woman with a grudge. You've seen the movies. The white
Speaker 1: women get mad. Hey, you get a white woman mad.
Speaker 1: They keep coming and keep coming and come to de
Speaker 1: chaus alien. That alien pissed off Sigourney Weaver one time,
Speaker 1: and then Sigourney whipped that alien's ass for four straightened movies.
Speaker 1: Then then she went and sick the predator on the ass.
Speaker 1: But let's move on to the real championship game, the
Speaker 1: state of New York versus Donald J. Trump, All Trump
Speaker 1: and oh old Trump. He wasn't died last week for
Speaker 1: paying a porn star hush money. You know Trump got
Speaker 1: to be mad he paid all that hush money. Didn't
Speaker 1: nobody hush but stops in the word hush. But no affair,
Speaker 1: no affair has been less hushed than this one. Everybody
Speaker 1: know about this damn affair. That's uncontacted. Tribes in the
Speaker 1: Amazon who know that Trump bone Stormy Daniels, I do
Speaker 1: not know what a plane is, but I do know
Speaker 1: that starman Daniel Spaint Trump would a magazine. Excuse me. Now,
Speaker 1: look now, if you notice I did not do a
Speaker 1: native accent. I'm not trying to get canceled on my
Speaker 1: first day. I am holding a spear my back, but
Speaker 1: I didn't do no accent. The point is Trump has
Speaker 1: been indicted and tomorrow the circus is coming to town,
Speaker 1: New York City this morning, preparing to become the setting
Speaker 1: for an unprecedented llegal and political drama as Donald Trump
Speaker 1: returns to face the criminal charges against him. Mister Trump
Speaker 1: expected to face some thirty separate charges, the first ever
Speaker 1: filed against a former president, in an indictment handed up
Speaker 1: last Thursday, still secret and under seal until his arraignment,
Speaker 1: Mister Trump's arraignment Tuesday will include being processed at the courthouse,
Speaker 1: with fingerprints and a DNA sample expected to be taken
Speaker 1: as well, but he likely won't be handcuffed and Secret
Speaker 1: Service agents will protect him at every turn. That's right,
Speaker 1: Trump's gotta provide a DNA sample, which, if you think
Speaker 1: about it, that's kind of how he got in this
Speaker 1: mess in the first place. Upside with Trump's DNA. The
Speaker 1: upside with Trump's DNA, Now an NYPD could probably solve
Speaker 1: a bunch of cold cases from navies. And why why
Speaker 1: are they arraigning him like he's a normal person. Hein
Speaker 1: a normal person, Trump and a a normal person. Normal people
Speaker 1: don't bring the Secret Service to get arrested. And to
Speaker 1: be honest, I kind of feel sorry for the Secret
Speaker 1: Service agents. How you you get assigned to a former president.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be going to baseball games, and when
Speaker 1: the surfing you get assigned to Trump. You gotta go
Speaker 1: to Ricus. You gotta take a shape for this man.
Speaker 1: You gotta taste test of toilet wine, make sure it
Speaker 1: ain't poison. You gotta dig this escape tunnel, then ductor
Speaker 1: dirt in a softball field. I'll never forget that day
Speaker 1: Donald Trump showed up on the Guard sickert serve as agents.
Speaker 1: He thought I was Van Carson, but Morgan Freeman's terrible.
Speaker 1: I gotta work. But it's not all bad for Trump.
Speaker 1: According to reports, he's already raised five million dollars since
Speaker 1: the news dropped on Thursday. Five five million dollars. This
Speaker 1: man is balling five million dollars. Do you even know
Speaker 1: how many cigarettes that all get you in prison. Honestly,
Speaker 1: this might be teaching this man the wrong lesson. Trump
Speaker 1: gonna start telling people to snitch on him for other
Speaker 1: crimes he did, just so he can get that bad too.
Speaker 1: Trump would be the first man in history to pay
Speaker 1: unhushed money. Going to jail might be the new way
Speaker 1: to fundraise if you're a politician. Hillary probably sitting around like, hell,
Speaker 1: five million dollars. Shit, maybe they should have locked me up.
Speaker 1: And Trump supporters aren't just supporting him with donations. They
Speaker 1: sound like they're ready to do whatever it takes to
Speaker 1: avenge you. After Trump's indictment, sum on social media called
Speaker 1: for war and said it's time for a real insurrection.
Speaker 1: This thing opens up a whole Pandora's box here. And
Speaker 1: I don't really think the left understands what they're getting
Speaker 1: themselves into. It almost feels like they're pushing the population
Speaker 1: to react. We think they're demoralized and passive. Let's see
Speaker 1: if they really are. I'm probably the best time to
Speaker 1: give it your A or fifteen. And I think most
Speaker 1: people know that they are agitating for unrest. That's the
Speaker 1: only way to interpret this. I'm ready for whatever's next.
Speaker 1: And I hope every other man out there watching this show,
Speaker 1: I hope you're ready for whatever's next. If that's what
Speaker 1: they want, let's let's let's get to it. Look, look,
Speaker 1: I can't speak for all them other folks we just saw,
Speaker 1: but I'm tell you this much. When a black man
Speaker 1: win a leather jacketheam went around. Doubt the mother folks
Speaker 1: if you want, but do not doubt this man. Look
Speaker 1: at them looking like blades. Grant and Daddy probably got
Speaker 1: the sword right there under the damn set. But you
Speaker 1: gotta give it up to these Trump supporters, man, you
Speaker 1: gotta give them credit. They're talking about showing up to
Speaker 1: the courthouse, showing up to the courthouse knowing that the
Speaker 1: NYPD will be there, and the NYPD will be ready. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen the footage of the NYPD,
Speaker 1: but they will pass. They made the playoffs every year.
Speaker 1: But you know the NYPD, they might not beat these
Speaker 1: MAGA protests too bad. Cops might recognize some of them
Speaker 1: from doing January six together. But but don't clap for
Speaker 1: the police going to January ticket. But as passionate as
Speaker 1: Republicans are, you gotta give them credit. This case is
Speaker 1: being quarterbacked by a black district attorney, and not once
Speaker 1: have they called him the nward. That's amazing. Excisecuse me
Speaker 1: one most say, excuse me one thing are I'm very
Speaker 1: proud of y'all. You're very angry about this, but at
Speaker 1: no point have you gone all the way to publicly
Speaker 1: using the N word. And that's growth. And I want
Speaker 1: you to know that I see you and I see
Speaker 1: your progress. And that's just a little pat on the
Speaker 1: back from your old uncle Roy. Now to me, here's
Speaker 1: what's weird about the reaction from Trump supporters. They're getting
Speaker 1: ready for revenge for what Democrats did to Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: but they're also celebrating what Democrats did to Donald Trump
Speaker 1: because they think it'll help him win the election. So
Speaker 1: to help me break that down a little bit more
Speaker 1: on that, return to the homie, Ronnie Chang, runnee Chang,
Speaker 1: let me see a round. Got to see you running
Speaker 1: that running. But it can you believe that some people
Speaker 1: think getting arrested is actually going to help Trump? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they're right. Of course, getting arrest is gonna help Trump.
Speaker 1: You know how badass he's gonna look when he walks
Speaker 1: into the Republican debates with a face tattoo. Now Trump's
Speaker 1: got street credit. You're black. You know what that is?
Speaker 1: Runnie jail. That's not an instant path to greatness. You
Speaker 1: don't jail. It's not an instant path to greatness. You're
Speaker 1: an Asian. You're smarter than this. Yeah, yeah, I am Asian,
Speaker 1: which is why I know Trump is is gonna be
Speaker 1: a modern Now he'll be like the Nelson Mandela of
Speaker 1: the people who put Nelson Mandela in jail. Everyone thinks
Speaker 1: they want upstanding leaders, but what they really want a
Speaker 1: bad boy. So don't give a Bill Clinton gonna blow
Speaker 1: job in the Oval office. And that's still the most
Speaker 1: pop But the thing you ever did. No, no, that's
Speaker 1: not that's not true. That's not true. Well, yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: name one other thing he did. Then he played saxophone
Speaker 1: on our Seneo Hall. Yeah, well that's just another form
Speaker 1: of blowing Okay, face it, Roy, it's twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: Being indicted now makes you a stronger candidate. It's like
Speaker 1: being a rapper or Martha Stewart. Okay, in fact, I'm
Speaker 1: calling it. Trump is now the official front runner for presidents.
Speaker 1: Don't say that don't say that. Don't say that. I
Speaker 1: just said it on The Dandy Show with Royal. Don't
Speaker 1: say with Royal Junior. Just say the day true that
Speaker 1: the Jugi Show with roy Wood Junior's officially no says no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is now the lead candidate and the
Speaker 1: presidential Seriously, that's your prediction? Trump wins election? Over already done? Yeah,
Speaker 1: unless Joe Biden can also get indicted for something even crazier.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking hunter Biden crazy. Okay, none of
Speaker 1: this classified documents bullshit, No one gets a fuck about documents. Okay. No,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, at the next cabinet meeting, Biden's gotta beat
Speaker 1: Pete Buddha jests to death. Oh howbout that she could?
Speaker 1: He could steal the nuclear bomb and use it to
Speaker 1: beat Pete Buddha jests to death. Should give me a
Speaker 1: medal for saying that twice? Or Biden do something else illegal? Okay,
Speaker 1: but Roy you're black. Okay, name some crimes. Brandt fotolum
Speaker 1: possession with him to distribute, writing bad checks will be
Speaker 1: your Wait a minute, man, don't make me suggest crons
Speaker 1: for the president. Man, you're saying in order to win,
Speaker 1: Biden has to fight fire with fire. Yeah exactly, that's
Speaker 1: that's a great pitch. Okay, he's just set the White
Speaker 1: House on fire, right with Pete Buddha jests inside. Okay,
Speaker 1: So so Biden has the one up Trump. Okay. If
Speaker 1: Trump goes to prison, Biden has to go to solitary,
Speaker 1: get the death penalty, and then just to be safe,
Speaker 1: go to Hell. Okay. So basically, whoever goes to help
Speaker 1: us will win the election, because that's democracy. Baby, we
Speaker 1: gotta go to hell. We gotta go to hell. You
Speaker 1: make Hell sound like a swing speak. Yeah exactly. Hell'
Speaker 1: is like Ohio, except not as bad. Okay. That's then
Speaker 1: running chain. Everybody give it up for running chain. Thank
Speaker 1: you running all right. When we come back, we'll find
Speaker 1: out how to teach black history to white people who
Speaker 1: don't go away. I'm gonna write on his paper money
Speaker 1: for fast but the most of the gold show. Now,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump ain't the only bullshit coming out of Florida.
Speaker 1: Governor RHN de Santis is making news for his approach
Speaker 1: to teaching black history, or should I say less of it.
Speaker 1: So I made a quick trip down to Florida to
Speaker 1: find out more last April, run Descent has signed the
Speaker 1: Stop Woke Out, which prohibits education that makes people feel
Speaker 1: anguish on the account of race, color, sex, or national order.
Speaker 1: In other words, it's basically illegal down Florida to make
Speaker 1: white people feel bad about sleeping, and some people love it.
Speaker 1: Keep flaws of education. Advisor to run Descents and a
Speaker 1: supporter of the Stop Walk down to get teachers who
Speaker 1: are coming out of these liberal colleges. They believe our
Speaker 1: country is evil. They're teaching young children that it's about
Speaker 1: the color of your skin, not your character. Okay, but
Speaker 1: how do we talk about race in this country in
Speaker 1: a way that keeps people from being so damned sensitive?
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I haven't answered that, because that's
Speaker 1: the issue the proponents of CRT. You're trying to say,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the race part of it just a little,
Speaker 1: and then people real bad. Cough of your ways up.
Speaker 1: Do you think that you change that by teaching young
Speaker 1: kids in kindergarten that because they're white, they're they're they're
Speaker 1: they're benefited from white supremacy. I wasn't yelling at you,
Speaker 1: by the way, I was this. I get it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So do you believe that there is institutional racism in
Speaker 1: this country. I don't know that. I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I you just said, do I believe? And I don't
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know that my opinion matters in
Speaker 1: that situation. I think you have to look at the facts, um,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that. I'm um, but I get
Speaker 1: fired to state an opinion on that. So maybe the
Speaker 1: real question should be whose feelings are we really worried
Speaker 1: about hurting? You know? Who? Should do? We talk about
Speaker 1: all the deep you know, racism, racism, systemic equality, and
Speaker 1: then we have another class that's just called the good
Speaker 1: White foot two twel years a slate you probably have
Speaker 1: seen free black man got kidnapped and then Brad Pitt
Speaker 1: helped him get free. So we have like you learn,
Speaker 1: you learn about Brad Pitt, you learn about some of
Speaker 1: doctor King's white friends with that helped me because I know,
Speaker 1: I think I'm giving what you're saying now, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that helps at all, because what you're doing
Speaker 1: is you're teaching you didn't know about Brad Pitt. I
Speaker 1: just educated you. The idea of doing a class on
Speaker 1: good white people in history is just too good to resist. Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm roy Wood Junior, and welcome to the only history
Speaker 1: class dedicated to the many great contributions of white folks,
Speaker 1: and therefore the only class sanction by the State of
Speaker 1: Florida because it makes white people feel good. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the great Whites. Let's start with the greatest white of all.
Speaker 1: George Washington. Born in seventeen thirty two, George Washington left
Speaker 1: the American Revolution against the British Empire, secured the country's freedom,
Speaker 1: and then served as the nation's first president. Washington then
Speaker 1: retired to his beautiful plantation in Virginia with his wife
Speaker 1: and over three hundred slaves. As part of an economic
Speaker 1: system built on the subjugation of black people. George Washington
Speaker 1: also helped create the tradition of presidential term limits. Good work,
Speaker 1: George Washington. One of the other great whites in history
Speaker 1: that we often don't talk about is a brilliant white
Speaker 1: man named Thomas Edison, working out of his lab in
Speaker 1: Menlo Park, New Jersey. Edison is credited with over a
Speaker 1: thousand patents in his lifetime. Among those patents Edison was
Speaker 1: credited for is the motion picture camera. Without his work,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have movies, TV shows, or footage of black
Speaker 1: people getting beat up by the police light riding the team?
Speaker 1: What's your favorite movie? Minus shred? Another great white who
Speaker 1: doesn't get the credit he deserves. His politician Jack Ryan.
Speaker 1: Jack was a successful investment banker who ran for senate
Speaker 1: in Illinois in two thousand and four. During his campaign,
Speaker 1: came out that Ryan hadn't bravely asked his wife to
Speaker 1: perform sexual acts on him in public. The disgrace, Jack
Speaker 1: was forced to step down from the two thousand and
Speaker 1: four race, leading to an easy victory for his opponent,
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, who would go on to become president. And
Speaker 1: now then Laden is dead and millions of people have healthcare,
Speaker 1: all because of the great Jack Ryan, who at this
Speaker 1: country be without his unquenchable horniness. Thank you, Jady. And
Speaker 1: finally the world of supports, which is lettered with great whites,
Speaker 1: including the greatest coach who ever lived, Phil Jackson. With
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls in the nineties, Jackson employed a groundbreaking
Speaker 1: offensive scheme called passed a Ball to the ball Headed
Speaker 1: Black Dude. Jackson would later find championship success with other
Speaker 1: ball headed black dudes. Let shack the code, but This
Speaker 1: ingenious strategy with the Bulls led to six championships. Jordan
Speaker 1: led the league in scoring ten times, mainly thanks to
Speaker 1: great Whites who passed him the ball. They could have
Speaker 1: easily let the league in scoring themselves, but out of
Speaker 1: sheer selflessness, those great Whites let Michael do it instead.
Speaker 1: Here's to you Bill running to Well, I'm afraid that's
Speaker 1: all the time we have for today. Join me next
Speaker 1: week when we talk about the brilliant Right brothers and
Speaker 1: how their innovations and air travel led to the fire
Speaker 1: bomb in the Black Wall Street and the Top Gun movie.
Speaker 1: I love Top Gander as much as I love Shrink.
Speaker 1: They're both fun. All right. Stay tuned because when we
Speaker 1: come back, Senator Corey Booker will be joining me on
Speaker 1: the show than gold On. Welcome back, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Daily Show. My guest tonight represents the great state
Speaker 1: of New Jersey and the United States Senate. Please welcome
Speaker 1: Senator Corey Booker, New Jersey, New Jersey. In the build. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: I think you look so good behind that desk. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, brother, I throchake. Let me not in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: But can I just say the end of the Daily
Speaker 1: Show speed dating. Let's just settle and and go permanent
Speaker 1: right now. You hang on. Now, we got to see
Speaker 1: what else the Daily Show bring to the table in
Speaker 1: the relationship. Let just can't commit right away. Um, let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the elephant in the room
Speaker 1: that just landed in New York City. Now in Washington,
Speaker 1: what is your feeling right now with everything with the
Speaker 1: Trump in Diamond? How much do you think this indictment
Speaker 1: is going to paralyze bipartisanship on actually getting laws passed
Speaker 1: in the next year because he Trump has a way
Speaker 1: of sucking the wind out of conversations. Yeah, hey, look
Speaker 1: in the Senate, I don't think it's going to have
Speaker 1: much effect at all. You've heard miss McConnell's state eerily silent.
Speaker 1: But I think this is a moment in American history
Speaker 1: that is pretty significant. Look. I believe deeply in democratic principles.
Speaker 1: I believe in the idea of the rule of law.
Speaker 1: But we've had a nation that hasn't lived up to
Speaker 1: those principles all the time. As Brian Stevenson says, who's
Speaker 1: this def penalty defender? He says, we have a criminal
Speaker 1: justice system that treats you better if you're rich and
Speaker 1: guilty then if you're poor and innocent. And so for me,
Speaker 1: this is one of those tough moments. Donald Trump has
Speaker 1: flaunted the rule of law for a significant amount of
Speaker 1: his career and did it in a bullying way, whether
Speaker 1: it was lock her Up or even the exonerated five,
Speaker 1: the Central Park five, even after they were exonerated, failing
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that it was a travesty of justice. So
Speaker 1: I think that the Senate is going to be fine.
Speaker 1: They're going to be people trying to find compromise get
Speaker 1: things done. But I do think this is one of
Speaker 1: those moments where there is a thirty four count indictment
Speaker 1: that we have to wait and see what's in it.
Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of rushing, uh to
Speaker 1: assume partisan positions in this. As a guy who believes
Speaker 1: in democracy, believes in the rule of law, believes to
Speaker 1: due process. Let's let's see what happened. Okay, So then
Speaker 1: to that point of everybody rushing to choose aside, if
Speaker 1: that's what Republicans are saying publicly, they've even seen the
Speaker 1: thirty four count, what are they saying behind closed doors?
Speaker 1: You'll be is is there a Cafeterian descent? What are
Speaker 1: they saying in the cafeteria? Like, man, you see that bullshit? Um,
Speaker 1: look you forget this. But Trump has been on trial
Speaker 1: twice in the Senate, and he has had Republicans and
Speaker 1: Democrats both parties. People were both parties voted to convict him.
Speaker 1: We didn't have enough to meet the threshold for conviction.
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of folks on both sides
Speaker 1: of the aisle that think that this is a guy
Speaker 1: who has caused so much damage to our political system.
Speaker 1: He has really shaken the foundations of our democracy. Ideas
Speaker 1: about our democracy we've taken for granted over the years. Uh,
Speaker 1: he has really threatened. Who would have thought that you'd
Speaker 1: be sitting there at your workplace and you'd be overrun
Speaker 1: by people storming the capitol, Uh, raiving the Confederate flag,
Speaker 1: having T shirts, Uh, celebrating the Holocaust. Yeah, not to
Speaker 1: mention Viking Hadson. More so, this is this is this
Speaker 1: is a guy who has truly strained the very democracy
Speaker 1: of our of our nation, and we hope to hold
Speaker 1: him accountable for that. Um. He's under investigation in multiple jurisdictions.
Speaker 1: This is a long thing to play out. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: just one of these folks that came to Washington, uh
Speaker 1: to uh focus on criminal justice reform because we have
Speaker 1: this nation where we still have people. You know, look,
Speaker 1: one out of every three incarcerated women on the planet
Speaker 1: Earth about are in the United States of America. We
Speaker 1: incarcerat people at levels here that are outragers. So he,
Speaker 1: to me, is not my central focus. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to let him tear me away from the important work
Speaker 1: we need to do in Washington right now, Okay, I
Speaker 1: love that, so but some of that important word. Let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about police reform. Now you're a friend,
Speaker 1: our friend, Senator timp Scott. You know, all black people
Speaker 1: know each other. I don't know him. I don't know him,
Speaker 1: but they don't know what I don't know. He had
Speaker 1: a police reform bill that he was trying to get past,
Speaker 1: and it had a lot of the right things in
Speaker 1: it about more body cameras, less choke calls, more regulations.
Speaker 1: The Democrats filibusted the bill in a time where you
Speaker 1: need some level of meeting in the middle, and it
Speaker 1: feels like that police reform bill that Tim Scott was
Speaker 1: trying to put together. It was an attempt at meeting
Speaker 1: in the middle. Can we really show the American people
Speaker 1: in this election cycle that nothing is better than something? Yeah. So, look,
Speaker 1: my experience in Washington has been getting big bills done,
Speaker 1: some of them with Tim Scott, whether it's criminal justice reform.
Speaker 1: We passed the first step back under Trump. We did
Speaker 1: another bill that has created billions of dollars of investment
Speaker 1: in low income areas. Tim and I wrote it together,
Speaker 1: called Opportunity Zones. Heck, even things that people don't think about,
Speaker 1: like why is sickle cell anemia a disease that disproportionately
Speaker 1: affects African Americans underfunded relative to other disorder? Yeah, that
Speaker 1: other disorders that affect less people. So Tim and I
Speaker 1: have a good track record. We have not found the
Speaker 1: common ground necessary to get a bill introduced. We're still
Speaker 1: working on it. We still are having dialogue literally as
Speaker 1: soon as most recent as last week, to try to
Speaker 1: find a way because we both agree, and Tim has
Speaker 1: told compelling stories on the Senate floor about what it's
Speaker 1: like growing up as a black man in America and
Speaker 1: having that disproportionate treatment. There's some foundation to work together.
Speaker 1: He and I. We're on different sides of the aisle,
Speaker 1: but we have a friendship and I'm hoping we can
Speaker 1: get something done. Last thing, you're a big advocate about nutrition,
Speaker 1: health and you'd be eaten right. I know they say
Speaker 1: they said she was in Whole Foods. She was in
Speaker 1: a produce department for forty minutes. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much detail you're looking at each orange before you put
Speaker 1: it in the cart. But when we talk about food
Speaker 1: and health and the way that we have food deserts
Speaker 1: in minority communities, talk to me a little bit about
Speaker 1: the farm bill and also why the McDonald shaped machine
Speaker 1: is always broken, whichever one you have time for us.
Speaker 1: One of the biggest crisis we don't talk about is
Speaker 1: why is there such a demand for healthcare in this country.
Speaker 1: We have a nation that one out of every three
Speaker 1: government dollars about is being spent on healthcare, and the
Speaker 1: majority of that seventy eighty percent is for preventable diseases.
Speaker 1: The majority of that is diet related diseases. And in
Speaker 1: our farm bill, which should have some relation to what
Speaker 1: we should be eating, only about seven to ten percent
Speaker 1: of our subsidies go to the things that nutritionist tell
Speaker 1: us eat. The most of so kids can walk up
Speaker 1: into a bodega or to a corner grocery store and
