Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Wow from New York City,
Speaker 1: the only city in America gets the shows and intention news.
Speaker 1: It's good Daily Show with your host Marlyn Williams. Hello,
Speaker 1: what can't get a show? I'm Mulham Williams and it's
Speaker 1: my last night hosting the show. But like I always say,
Speaker 1: don't cry because it's over, smile because you was high
Speaker 1: all week. Well maybe that was just me. Anyway, I
Speaker 1: got a great show for you tonight. So hey, let's
Speaker 1: get into the headlines. Well, sadly, it's my last day
Speaker 1: hosting the Daily Show. And I almost got through the
Speaker 1: whole week. Yes, and I almost got through the whole
Speaker 1: entire week without talking about racist cops. But guess what
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about today? Racist cop. After the Louisville
Speaker 1: Police killed Brianna Taylor, the Justice Department launched an investigation
Speaker 1: into whether they discriminated against black people, and after two years,
Speaker 1: guess what they for. The results this morning from the
Speaker 1: US Justice Department aren't flattering at all to Louisville police.
Speaker 1: The report concludes that the unit's activities were part of
Speaker 1: an overall enforcement approach that resulted in significant and unlawful
Speaker 1: racial disparities. Federal authorities found that police in the city
Speaker 1: were four to five times more likely to stop black
Speaker 1: drivers than white ones for the same traffic violations, five
Speaker 1: times more likely to charge ur black people for loitering
Speaker 1: or disorderly conduct, and more likely to stop and search
Speaker 1: Black Americans for the same behaviors. That's right. The DJ
Speaker 1: launched a two year investigation to find out something every
Speaker 1: black person already knew. The police discriminate against black people.
Speaker 1: What else do you guys find out? Nick Cannon doesn't
Speaker 1: use condos? That who has really terrible pull out game.
Speaker 1: The black woman behind Meryl Garland was like, I could
Speaker 1: have told you that, Merrick. I can't believe you flew
Speaker 1: me out to Louisville for this bullshit. Next time just
Speaker 1: ask me, damn it. But none of this is unique
Speaker 1: to Louisville. Every time the Justice Department investigates a police department,
Speaker 1: the conclusion is their races. Just once. I love to
Speaker 1: have them hold a press conference like this. After a
Speaker 1: two year investigation into police department, we have found shocking
Speaker 1: levels of tolerance. Officers was five times more likely to
Speaker 1: high five a black person than a white person, and
Speaker 1: some white officers was caught in text message discussing the
Speaker 1: works of James Baldwin. It's a tough day for America.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Tennessee. Here's another surprise you probably
Speaker 1: saw coming a mile away. An anti gay Republican just
Speaker 1: got caught in a thirst trap for a top story
Speaker 1: this morning. Tennessee's lieutenant governor is receiving criticism after making
Speaker 1: several comments on nearly naked photos of a twenty year
Speaker 1: old game man with his blue checked government account. Over
Speaker 1: the last three years, the lieutenant governor has been regularly
Speaker 1: commenting on these extremely racy pictures of an influence and sir,
Speaker 1: everything from typing out fire emojis where the mail user
Speaker 1: had posted his backside to commenting that he has quote
Speaker 1: a super look and that he loves his content. Here's
Speaker 1: what his press team had to say. Trying to apply
Speaker 1: something sinister or inappropriate about a great grandfather's use of
Speaker 1: social media says more about the mind of the left
Speaker 1: wing operative making the implication than it does about Randy McNally.
Speaker 1: Does he always use the proper emoji at the proper time.
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but he enjoys interacting with constituents and tennesseeans
Speaker 1: of all religions, backgrounds, and orientations on social media, adding
Speaker 1: he has no intention of stopping. Yeah, I bet he
Speaker 1: has no intention of stop. And I don't like to
Speaker 1: stop while I'm jerking either. I love his excuse, though
Speaker 1: his excuses he's a great grandfather. That doesn't make it better.
Speaker 1: The worst part is, you know he probably called his
Speaker 1: grandson in to teach him to use Instagram. Hey, Blake,
Speaker 1: grandpa wants to tell it hot, young twink, and he
Speaker 1: could rob my face like a human cycle? What Emogen
Speaker 1: should pap Paul? You? And finally, cars in Maine are
Speaker 1: getting a little bit more boring today. A vegan in
Speaker 1: Maine whose custom license plate contains the word tofu is
Speaker 1: one of the drivers caught up in the state crackdown
Speaker 1: on vulgar vanity plates. This is apparently the plate in question.
Speaker 1: It says love tofu, but the state thinks it could
Speaker 1: be seen as an inappropriate reference. I love to f.
Speaker 1: You always sure that car doesn't belong to the Lieutenants
Speaker 1: Tennessee on Paul Paul, Paul Paul, I'd say let the
Speaker 1: man have his license plate. How are you going to
Speaker 1: punish a vegan isn't there diet punishment enough already? From
Speaker 1: all this story, we turned to Michael Costo, like, oh,
Speaker 1: what do you think of Maine's cracked down on vanity
Speaker 1: license plates? It's ridiculous. You know, this is more unfair
Speaker 1: than when I was kicked out of high school for
Speaker 1: cutting class. You know, students can do it, but substitute
Speaker 1: teachers can. I mean, double standard much, Marlin. You know,
Speaker 1: I think Maine is just trying to make sure that
Speaker 1: license plates aren't obscene. Okay, but they're going too far.
Speaker 1: I mean, they reject all kinds of completely innocent plates
Speaker 1: just because their minds are in the gutter. And I'm
Speaker 1: speaking from personal experience here, Okay, as you'd expect, I
Speaker 1: summer in Maine and just take a look at some
Speaker 1: of my plates that were rejected for no reason. I'm
Speaker 1: not a vegan, so I'm not about to have love tofu.
Speaker 1: But that's why I went with this. Okay. I'm a
Speaker 1: chicken guy, white meat, darkneat. I love it all. Put
Speaker 1: it in my mouth, Michael, I gotta be honest. That
Speaker 1: sounds like you troll him for six boy. You know
Speaker 1: you sound just like the guys down at the truck stop.
Speaker 1: You know, you're seeing messages that just aren't here, Like, like,
Speaker 1: can you believe they also said no to this one
Speaker 1: about my love of Nascar? I mean, look, I'm mister race,
Speaker 1: but no, that one actually landed me on some kind
Speaker 1: of list. Can you believe that I did get a
Speaker 1: shout out from Tucker Carlson though apparently this is also
Speaker 1: the name of his boat. That one makes me want
Speaker 1: to punch you in your face. So you're not a
Speaker 1: NASCAR fan, I get it, okay, But but if that
Speaker 1: upsets you, just wait until you see the one at
Speaker 1: the main Bureau of Motor Vehicle sent me. Look at this. Oh,
Speaker 1: but that's just a regular plate. What what are you
Speaker 1: talking about, dude? L two E f DP love to
Speaker 1: Eat Fat Donkey Puss. I mean, this isn't scene, Marlin,
Speaker 1: I have been family. Okay, I think you're overreacting. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: what plate did you wind up with? Well we're still
Speaker 1: going back and forth, but but I'm hoping that this
Speaker 1: is the one that they'll accept. Okay, So ass play
Speaker 1: you mean like assisting on basketball plays? No, it's ass player.
Speaker 1: I'm expressing my love for ass play. I love the
Speaker 1: ass Marlin, I like a little toodle myself. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: leave it right there, Michael. When we come back, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you how to fake the pass. Don't go wrong
Speaker 1: it is you like, Welcome back to the Dally Show. Now.
Speaker 1: We all know there's a lot of problems with American schools.
Speaker 1: Low test scores, nasty as school lunch, no privacy when
Speaker 1: you're trying to finger banging to staywell. But there's one
Speaker 1: issue that doesn't get as much attention. There has been
Speaker 1: an increased demand for after school programs throughout the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Baily problem is they don't have the staff to handle it.
Speaker 1: After school programs have been inundated across the country, but
Speaker 1: a lack of funding plus staffing shortages have made the
Speaker 1: crush of students impossible to keep up with, with eighty
Speaker 1: five percent of these programs fearing being able to keep
Speaker 1: up with the demand. We haven't had weight lists like
Speaker 1: this before, so we have needed to care for enrollment.
Speaker 1: For every child participating in after school in New York,
Speaker 1: four are waiting for an available program. That's more than
Speaker 1: one point six million children. In twenty twenty, more than
Speaker 1: three hundred and forty thousand children were alone and unsupervised
Speaker 1: between the hours of three and six PM. That's right.
Speaker 1: Just in New York alone, three hundred and forty thousand
Speaker 1: kids are alone and unsupervised every afternoon. Now, if you
Speaker 1: care about kids, that's terrible news. Unless you're a pedophile,
Speaker 1: then it's like the best news you ever heard. You're like, whoa,
Speaker 1: that's like hearing this windowless vans went on sale. But
Speaker 1: there's a great solution for this after school programs, and
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why on another installment of Long Story Short.
Speaker 1: The first benefit of after school programs should be obvious.
Speaker 1: They give kids a place to go after school. It's
Speaker 1: right there in the name. Come on, keep up stupid.
Speaker 1: It's true kids need to stay busy, especially teens. If
Speaker 1: they don't have something to do, they're gonna find something
Speaker 1: to do. That's why juvenile crime peaks between two and
Speaker 1: six every day. But kids in after school programs are
Speaker 1: less likely to drink, do drugs, or join a gang
Speaker 1: because kids get tired pretty quickly. They only got enough
Speaker 1: energy for either a carjacking or a dance. Societal it
Speaker 1: can't do both. Kids are the only one who benefit
Speaker 1: because for every dollar spent on an after school program.
Speaker 1: The state gets nearly seven dollars back in potential benefits
Speaker 1: thanks to lower teenage, pregnancy, substance abuts, and crime. Now
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that every kid in the after school
Speaker 1: program is never going to commit a crime. But if
Speaker 1: a kid stays off the streets and makes it to college,
Speaker 1: then someday he can commit a white collar crime. That's
Speaker 1: the dream. But the impact goes far beyond keeping kids busy.
Speaker 1: They also help kids succeed in school. After school programs
Speaker 1: are linked to higher grades, attendance, and graduation rates. The
Speaker 1: only thing better than that is bribing your kids teacher.
Speaker 1: Take it from me, that shit could get expensive. Sean.
Speaker 1: They also expose kids to new interests, music, art, language.
Speaker 1: There's no limit to the ways after school programs can
Speaker 1: broaden your horizons, and I mean no limit. Laren's in
Speaker 1: Southeast Virginia voicing outrage over a proposal to add an
Speaker 1: after school Satan club to a local public elementary school
Speaker 1: that teaches pre k through second grade, The national director
Speaker 1: for the Satan Club defended the idea. We don't try
Speaker 1: to indoctrinate them into Satanism. We just want to offer
Speaker 1: a place that's you know, fun, you know, exciting, free
Speaker 1: from any sort of threats of eternal damnation. How come
Speaker 1: that bitch didn't blink. Yes, they even have a Satanism club.
Speaker 1: You know. There's some parents who are like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's horrible. But is it free? Though? So it's clear
Speaker 1: that after school programs are hugely beneficial. The problem is
Speaker 1: they just don't get a lot of money. The federal
Speaker 1: government is barely funding these programs and state governments aren't
Speaker 1: doing much better. But it is possible because California did it.
Speaker 1: In fact, for the past twenty years, California has outspent
Speaker 1: all the other forty nine states combined on after school programs,
Speaker 1: which is messed up because California actually has shit to
Speaker 1: do after school. I mean, seriously, I compare that to
Speaker 1: South Dakota and shit to do. In South Dakota. Kids
Speaker 1: can only look at Mount Rushmore for so long before
Speaker 1: they're like, I it's time to do some meths. But
Speaker 1: the reason California spend so much on after school programs
Speaker 1: is thanks to the work of one very kind, dedicated
Speaker 1: kindergarten teacher. In two thousand and two, Arnold Schwarzenegger was
Speaker 1: almost single handedly responsible for California's passage of Prop. Forty nine,
Speaker 1: which made after school funding mandatory. Even today, the former
Speaker 1: governor raises money for after school programs with fun charity
Speaker 1: events like crushing things with his tank. I'm inviting you
Speaker 1: personally to Los Angeles to crush things in my tank
Speaker 1: with me. Let's crush a power, Let's crush up piano.
Speaker 1: This will benefit the after school all stars. So what
Speaker 1: are you waiting for? Let's go around and crush things
Speaker 1: with that tank. Who knew that big buff mother love kids,
Speaker 1: Ah said. We gotta get more celebrities to turn their
Speaker 1: obsessions into charity. Tom Cruise start jumping out of airplanes
Speaker 1: to save baby Seals, Snoop Dogg smoke weed for Global
Speaker 1: Warming baby Leon Lott of DiCaprio, Well, have you've seen
Speaker 1: his girlfriends, He's already running an after school program. I'm sorry, Leo,
Speaker 1: they made me say it. Please let me in your
Speaker 1: party now. As awesome as this is, our after school
Speaker 1: programs shouldn't depend on whether anyone wants to hang out
Speaker 1: with Unos. Swatsonata. We need to find a more reliable
Speaker 1: way to fund these programs because they're important to underprivileged kids.
Speaker 1: And I know what I'm talking about because after school
Speaker 1: programs was important to me. That's what I'm talking about
Speaker 1: this shit. I grew up in the projects in New
Speaker 1: York City and there was ten of us in our household,
Speaker 1: ten wands kids, and thanks God, we had after school programs.
Speaker 1: It exposed us to the arts. Imagine if all that
Speaker 1: energy and work ethic was directed towards slinging drugs. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying we beat the Winds cartel, but we would
Speaker 1: have got a lot of mother time. Now, listen, it
Speaker 1: changed our life, and not just for our family, but
Speaker 1: for a lot of kids in the after school programs
Speaker 1: it did well, but for those who stays on the
Speaker 1: streets not so much. See, it makes all the difference
Speaker 1: to be in a place that keeps you busy, keeps
Speaker 1: you fed, keeps you protected, even from the bullies. All
Speaker 1: the bullies who say three o'clock, I'm gonna kick your ass.
Speaker 1: You're like, so what, nigga, I'm here till six. So
Speaker 1: the bully has to join the drama program just to
Speaker 1: find you I'm gonna kick your ass after rehearsal malin
Speaker 1: the first let's read this sonnet from Hamlet, so long
Speaker 1: story short, we need to make funding after school programs
Speaker 1: a national priority. It literally benefits everyone, the kids, the community,
Speaker 1: and especially you because if I didn't have after school programs,
Speaker 1: you could have been robbed by wands. And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of us. All right, stay tuned when we come back,
Speaker 1: my bro, all my as, we'll be joining me on
Speaker 1: the show. We'll go go wrong. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor, producer, and
Speaker 1: author and he just so happens to be my best
Speaker 1: friend in the world. His new book is called Nubia
Speaker 1: the Awakening. Please welcome my brother on my epps. Oh my,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. Oh you know, looking good, brother.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a little weird because we grew up together.
Speaker 1: I know Omar when we need high school. I know
Speaker 1: him since high school. And when we first met Omar
Speaker 1: in high school, he's carry around this little blue ball.
Speaker 1: He was skinny at a big ass head and shoulders,
Speaker 1: but he looked like an arrow. But you could just
Speaker 1: put him in a thing and sling him in it.
Speaker 1: He's had a big ass head and he had this
Speaker 1: little blue ball and he would just bounce it all
Speaker 1: around and all I could think, was I want to
Speaker 1: kick his ass for no good reason? Because the thing was,
Speaker 1: remember Rocky, like the first movies, he had the blue ball,
Speaker 1: So that was my thing. I was like drinking raw
Speaker 1: eggs and bouncing the blue ball like Rocky, And so
Speaker 1: I thought I could kick somebody's ass. And plus in
Speaker 1: the cafeteria, I used to ship with all the girls,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And so Mama was jealous,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't jealous. I wasn't jealous. I think, well,
Speaker 1: I just thought you wasn't drag. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You get a little blue ball. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He double dutch, and I'm like, something up. But then
Speaker 1: I found out that you had a devious plan. Your
Speaker 1: plot was to hang around the girls and be the
Speaker 1: friendly guy, and you be friends over time and wear
Speaker 1: them down. You ain't shit, you know, he persistus got resilience.
Speaker 1: We actually didn't like each other until we almost fought
Speaker 1: and we was in the lock one and then uh
Speaker 1: we got each other in the headlock. Yeah. We got
Speaker 1: to the stalemate. Yeah, and we were stuck. We know,
Speaker 1: because we had the same technique. Remember I had you
Speaker 1: like this and you was digging this part of your
Speaker 1: wrists into my jaw and I was digging that into
Speaker 1: your head. And he was like, Yo, we got the
Speaker 1: same technique. We should join forces. It's you know it's
Speaker 1: funny is it's the truth that's what makes it funny.
Speaker 1: We literally got stuck and then we got cool after that,
Speaker 1: and uh, we've been thinking stieves ever since then. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad they had something. What people don't
Speaker 1: know about Omar is like, you're a really funny dude.
Speaker 1: You're actually one of the funniest dudes I know. I mean,
Speaker 1: you ain't never did a comedy. I want you to
Speaker 1: do more comedy. But what they don't know about me
Speaker 1: is that I can act. So we both have the
Speaker 1: same skill set, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but see Almar's not a comedian, so they don't expect
Speaker 1: it from you. So you know, I could say anything.
Speaker 1: You say the same thing, you get slap. I know
Speaker 1: that becauld your light skinned. We've been going through business
Speaker 1: high school. We both say the same thing. People get
Speaker 1: offended when I say it. I'm like, what he just
Speaker 1: said the same You go, oh, he's a different color
Speaker 1: black man. Um, what, what's like your most monumental moment
Speaker 1: in our friendship? In our friendship? Yeah, like, what do
Speaker 1: you remember, man? It's it's there. Honestly, there have been
Speaker 1: so many. I mean the birth of your kids and um,
Speaker 1: you know obviously God bless Mama loves passing and just
Speaker 1: just us growing up man, just being innocent kids in
Speaker 1: the city. I remember we used to be like, all right,
Speaker 1: let's not take the train of the bus. Let's walk,
Speaker 1: you know, down from sixty six in Amsterdam and walk
Speaker 1: for forty blocks and you know, maybe uh met a girl,
Speaker 1: get a number, get a slice of pizza. Really sweet memories.

Speaker 1: We went to performing our shout out to LaGuardia High School.
Speaker 1: Shout out, um. What was your favorite role of all
Speaker 1: the movie? Because you've done a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of great work, Like I remember, like your whole career.
Speaker 1: I remember, like, man, there was was one role you
Speaker 1: did higher learning. Yeah, I remember I watched that movie
Speaker 1: and your ending scene was so powerful. I was sitting
Speaker 1: there in awe. I was speechless. And at the end
Speaker 1: of the movie, he's just walking away, and I said,
Speaker 1: in my head, I said, bro, you walking toward a
Speaker 1: million dollars right now. I remember that happening got a
Speaker 1: million dollars for your next movie, And I was just
Speaker 1: so proud because I was like, damn, I ain't treating
Speaker 1: for shit no more. Thank you. What was your favorite role.
Speaker 1: You know what, you know, I always look at it like, um,
Speaker 1: I feel like each role is a piece of a mosaic,
Speaker 1: that it's a bigger thing that will be done once
Speaker 1: it's setting done, for once my time on this earth
Speaker 1: is done. So I don't have a favorite role. I
Speaker 1: pour the same amount into every role that I'm pour
Speaker 1: into the next one and for me. But as you know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing like the first you know, that first Yeah,
Speaker 1: that first role is just like, oh, you know what,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. As you was telling me that, I was
Speaker 1: sitting there, what did you learn the word mosaic? What
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? No, but you're an author now, man,
Speaker 1: this this, this, this, this made me so proud of you.
Speaker 1: This book. I was like, this is the dude that
Speaker 1: cut every class. It's writing books. I couldn't even read
Speaker 1: your notes that you passed to me in class. There
Speaker 1: was in some graffiti or weird language. But man, I'm
Speaker 1: so hot you. What inspired you to write this book? Well?
Speaker 1: I just um, it's a it's a coming of age
Speaker 1: book about these three teams. It takes place in twenty
Speaker 1: ninety eight, and I just was imagining, what's the world
Speaker 1: gonna look like like? What society you're gonna look like,
Speaker 1: and more importantly like for me because we're born and
Speaker 1: raised in New York, what's New York gonna look like?
Speaker 1: You know to those kids? And I just started dissecting,
Speaker 1: dissecting and breaking it down and really trying to look
Speaker 1: through the eyes of abudding mind, you know, because I'm
Speaker 1: really you know, my mother was an educator, so I'm
Speaker 1: really into speaking to kids um at different schools and
Speaker 1: things of that nature and offer what I can. And
Speaker 1: this is my offering in that way of Hey, climate
Speaker 1: change has happened, it's about classism, it's about sexism, it's
Speaker 1: obviously it's about you know, racism is still in there,
Speaker 1: all the isms, and then how do we spend that
Speaker 1: on its head because it's really about these kids who
Speaker 1: are like trying to figure themselves out. Because you know
Speaker 1: that that fourteen fifteen year old stage is an a
Speaker 1: part of life, like just just for anyone. So it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter where you come from. You could be from Arkansas, Nebraska,
Speaker 1: or you could be from an urban space like Chicago
Speaker 1: or New York or Atlanta or whatever, and there's I
Speaker 1: believe that there's something in there for every kid to
Speaker 1: take away because it's also about escapism to give them
Speaker 1: something to like get them through the next day. You know,
Speaker 1: I read the book and it's amazing, and I'm very
Speaker 1: proud of you. I swear it wasn't until that explanation
Speaker 1: you just gave me. I thought you cheated on somebody
Speaker 1: to write this book. But now I know what do
Speaker 1: you know? Those big words? I love you, my brother.
Speaker 1: You guys, don't get the book that's on Amazon Amazon
Speaker 1: give it up as Oh my book, that way getting
