Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central Now from New York City,
Speaker 1: the only city in America. It's the show that invented news.
Speaker 1: This He's the Daily Show with your host Leslie June.
Speaker 1: Who whatcome to the Day Show? I'm leaving Johns Now.
Speaker 1: We got so much stuff to talk about tonight. But
Speaker 1: first I would like to give a shout out to
Speaker 1: Trevor North. One of the things that moved me so
Speaker 1: much in his last show, he said, if you want
Speaker 1: to truly learn about America, to talk to black women. Well,
Speaker 1: guess who's coming. We got a great show for you.
Speaker 1: Morris Chestnut is here, all right, So let's get into headlines. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you guys remember that for the past six months, we've
Speaker 1: been roasting the ship out of Donald Trump for keeping
Speaker 1: classified documents at his house. And I have to agree,
Speaker 1: what kind of moron, I mean, what kind of irresponsible
Speaker 1: piece of ship would keep classified documents at his house?
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to be the only dumbass that
Speaker 1: would do something so stupid. Breaking news from the White House,
Speaker 1: more classified documents were found in President Biden's Delaware Hall.
Speaker 1: Just roll to Dan Take this morning. President Biden is
Speaker 1: facing growing calls for transparency from Republicans and even some
Speaker 1: Democrats amid the Special Council's investigation into his handling of
Speaker 1: classified documents after he left the Obama administration, pressure is mounting.
Speaker 1: After this weekend, the White House Counsel's Office said additional
Speaker 1: pages of classified documents were discovered inside the president's Delaware home.
Speaker 1: It comes after about a dozen initially discovered at Mr
Speaker 1: Biden's private office, including at least one document marked top secret.
Speaker 1: That followed by two batches discovered in Delaware, including inside
Speaker 1: his garage classified material next year corvette. What were you thinking,
Speaker 1: by the way, my corvention the lack parage. Okay, so
Speaker 1: it's not like a shipping on the street. Look, this
Speaker 1: is a national security emergency. Okay. A man that's old
Speaker 1: with access to a corvette. Ah. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: more scary, Biden losing the nuclear codes or Biden going
Speaker 1: five on the highway. Biden, please do not drive that
Speaker 1: car back. No, ask can't even ride a bike. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. He probably loves talking about this
Speaker 1: scandal because it gives him a chance to talk about
Speaker 1: his corvette. Hey, everybody, I've got stolen documents next to
Speaker 1: my sweet Corvette. Google grieves like and then you're burning
Speaker 1: enough breathe like that green light. Man. And I know
Speaker 1: this is a big scandal, but honestly, I think these
Speaker 1: documents was pretty saved at Biden's house because it's hard
Speaker 1: to find anything in the old man's garage. Grandpa, where's
Speaker 1: the documents? It's by the leaf blower. You have sex
Speaker 1: leaf blood. But can I just say this for a minute,
Speaker 1: I am so disappointed in you, Joe Biden, because this
Speaker 1: is the Trump scandal. You copy still in documents. You
Speaker 1: could have been black balls deep and pouring stars. You're dumb.
Speaker 1: But that's a bigger problem here because first there was
Speaker 1: Trump nas Biden. What I need to know is who
Speaker 1: is in charge of these documents? Who is the bitch
Speaker 1: who is freely given out classified documents? This pass you?
Speaker 1: What's up y'all? Are you doing? Man? You wanta get
Speaker 1: some documents? Check this out? Though. I just came back
Speaker 1: from lunch and I smoked the biggest cliss I have
Speaker 1: ever roll, So I'm real high right now. So it's
Speaker 1: your lucky day. I'm gonna hook you up with all
Speaker 1: the documents you need right now. You know what just
Speaker 1: take what you want. But wait, wait, I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: to get you to sign. Hold on, let me get
Speaker 1: something for you to just sign. You know what, I
Speaker 1: remember you I don't remember. I trust you. I trust
Speaker 1: But you gotta be cool, son, You gotta be cool
Speaker 1: with these documents. Okay, where you're gonna hire them? Were
Speaker 1: you in the corvette? You gotta corvette. Take whatever you need.
Speaker 1: You are a g Oh my god. Okay, but let's
Speaker 1: move on. Let me show you what's going on in Boston. Okay.
Speaker 1: So a monument meant to honor the Reverend Dr Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King Jr. And his wife, Coreta Scott King's legacy.
Speaker 1: They're saying some backlash. It's called the Embrace. The statute
Speaker 1: was Unbail Friday at the Boston Common. It was inspired
Speaker 1: by a photograph of the couple hugging after Dr King
Speaker 1: won the Nobel Peace Prize back in nineteen So look
Speaker 1: at the hands and the picture, and then look at
Speaker 1: that the RP teachers a couple's arms during the embrace
Speaker 1: and not their heads, which has sparked in mixed reaction.
Speaker 1: Has anyone in here ever been Now I'm serious, I'm serious.
Speaker 1: Has anyone in here ever participated in the munch and
Speaker 1: munch munch because they celebrating you right now, celebrate you
Speaker 1: and boss and right now. Lord listen, listen. I know
Speaker 1: Dr King went down in history, but this is not
Speaker 1: how you shay. And let me tell you something. Even
Speaker 1: though I'm about to go straight hard on this statue,
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to the white people for a second. Yeah,
Speaker 1: white people, you don't need to be saying shit about
Speaker 1: this statue. You understand black hands only. You need to
Speaker 1: sit your ass in the back of the bus for
Speaker 1: this one. Okay, you need to honor this statue. This
Speaker 1: is our civil rights icon. Going down on his wife,
Speaker 1: you show some down. Okay, Black people, what the we're
Speaker 1: gonna do? We gotta talk about this. We gotta talk
Speaker 1: about this because you know, it's messed up where black
Speaker 1: people and the proud boy hate the same statue. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: we I guess, you know, maybe we'll end up liking it.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, We might end up liking it.
Speaker 1: Did you know that people hated the Eiffel Tower when
Speaker 1: it first went up? You know, the French people was
Speaker 1: like it ruins the thing lane Julia Morti move move.
Speaker 1: That is the worst impression of a French person ever
Speaker 1: done in the history. What about Christ the Redeemer? I
Speaker 1: bet you When they first put it up, everybody was like,
Speaker 1: Jesus is going, what's up? Why y'all kill me? But
Speaker 1: now everybody love it. So maybe it's just a matter
Speaker 1: of time. Maybe it's just a matter of time. In time,
Speaker 1: we will see the statue for what it truly is.
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King going down on this life. I can't
Speaker 1: it is what it is. You know what. I can't
Speaker 1: talk about this about myself. I need another black woman
Speaker 1: on us on my side, y'all give it up, a dude,
Speaker 1: safe bro, bro, I mean it's I mean what you
Speaker 1: think about this statue? Listen, now, I know that you
Speaker 1: thought it looked like he's going down. He's going down
Speaker 1: on Corinna. From the angle that you saw. From the
Speaker 1: angle that I saw, it looks like it looks like
Speaker 1: hands created a big penis, you know, like a like
Speaker 1: a bronze deal though that got left out in the sun, right,
Speaker 1: because no matter which way you look at it, it's
Speaker 1: a different erotic act, right, It's like a sexual rub
Speaker 1: excue like every time you spit it like you just
Speaker 1: gotta take the stickers off and moving around because you've
Speaker 1: never solved one. None of us have solved work ever lies.
Speaker 1: But I'm not surprised they never get Martin statue. Right,
Speaker 1: you saw that monument they put him in, d Say,
Speaker 1: look at the statue. I mean, what the hell is this?
Speaker 1: The man literally marched for freedom and his statue don't
Speaker 1: have no legs. You know why people like them on
Speaker 1: Lisa because I can see the bitch and she's giving fierce,
Speaker 1: she's giving unbothered, she's giving legacy and my pretty who
Speaker 1: care if I'm famous? That's the money side. Now, say
Speaker 1: what you will about them, goofy as conservatives, But they
Speaker 1: know how to make a statue. It's a white dude
Speaker 1: on a horse. It's always a white dude on a horse.
Speaker 1: There's no confused. That's what confuses. So listen, that's what
Speaker 1: the liberals need to do. Make a statue of m
Speaker 1: ok in his suit on a horse. Uh yes, but
Speaker 1: but did m Okay have a horse? I don't know,
Speaker 1: and neither do y'all. So put him on a horse,
Speaker 1: put him on the throne. Hell, put him in Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's corvette. All right, at least we would know who
Speaker 1: it was, because you know what, ms leslie, Yes, baby,
Speaker 1: I also have a dream. M hm. I have a
Speaker 1: dream of an MLK statue with feet with a torso
Speaker 1: and legs and arms in the right place, a statue
Speaker 1: that doesn't look like a sex act because right now
Speaker 1: it looks like a pence out a luia. And if
Speaker 1: you want that to be a penis in five, you
Speaker 1: can give him a penis. The great Martin Luther King
Speaker 1: had a penis, so they say, but don't make that
Speaker 1: great man's the penis. Give him a good Christian penis
Speaker 1: and put it where a penis is supposed to do,
Speaker 1: because I know a couple of places where a penis
Speaker 1: is a positive god lest man. And I'll tell you
Speaker 1: I enjoyed every time everything. What what? What? What? Okay? Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 1: lot of those ways are wrong. So I went around

Speaker 1: So check it out. Since The Daily Show finally hired
Speaker 1: a black host, we can properly celebrate Martin Luther King
Speaker 1: Day by asking New Yorkers how they celebrate his legacy.

Speaker 1: So which one of those celebrates Martin Luther King Day? Well,
Speaker 1: none of none of what we've talked about. We don't

Speaker 1: that's all I got. I have a dream that one
Speaker 1: day white people will actually know what's in that damn speech. Okay,

Speaker 1: the series Best Man series, how many people ask you
Speaker 1: to be the best man? I mean, how many bad
Speaker 1: part have you? No? No, I judging by what what
Speaker 1: I did that the Tacks character in the first movie.
Speaker 1: I don't get too many invites to to to be
Speaker 1: a to be. No, no, I don't get too many. Listen.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know a lot of people, they do
Speaker 1: enjoy the movie. They do have a lot of questions
Speaker 1: and they always say to me sometimes but you know,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure my best man didn't sleep
Speaker 1: with my girls and all that type of stuff. But yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so you get a lot of that, a lot of that. Now, um,
Speaker 1: the story is about, you know, navigating several friendships and
Speaker 1: a lot of drama and stuff. Now, do you have
Speaker 1: a lot of drama in your actual life? I don't, Actually,
Speaker 1: I don't. I have listened, so I have. I do
Speaker 1: have a close knit friend group. I have, you know,
Speaker 1: friends that have been friends with since you know, second grade,
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of friends I've been friends
Speaker 1: with a long time. Only dramas when it comes to sports,
Speaker 1: and you know, when my team loses, I gotta hear
Speaker 1: a lot of mess. But luckily, I'm an ego fan
Speaker 1: in the Eagle fans in the house. So we're doing
Speaker 1: all right this year. So I've been delivering a lot
Speaker 1: of I've been delivering a lot of dramas of some
Speaker 1: people on my and my friend group. Morris is about
Speaker 1: the giants here, okayaing, Wow, Okay, you're right, You're right. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good game. Though, it's gonna it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a good game. We're gonna my anduleces to
Speaker 1: you guys, jolly though, my condoleces to you. Giants. Giants
Speaker 1: eat egos, that's what's happening. Okay, Hey, I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get on social media after the game. That change for baby. No, No,
Speaker 1: I can't. I learned never talks mack. For the comedians,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I'm a long time ago. I did a
Speaker 1: movie with Bill Bellamy and Dil Hughley, and I just
Speaker 1: when I did that movie, I realized to never say
Speaker 1: anything because I know you can't because comedians, you guys
Speaker 1: are so perceptive and you guys see everything, you hear everything.
Speaker 1: So I will not talk back to you. Okay, not
Speaker 1: at all. It's okay, Morrish, you can talk Tom now.
Speaker 1: The one thing I appreciate about the franchise is how
Speaker 1: they have black men being friends and being real. Um,
Speaker 1: how do you think how important it is? Do you
Speaker 1: think the portrayal of friendships and relationships between black men
Speaker 1: is is portrayed on TV. I think I think it
Speaker 1: was very important for it for our movie, um, just
Speaker 1: for the because listen, there's this life that happens, there's
Speaker 1: drama that happens, and you know, your friends with somebody
Speaker 1: long enough, there's bound to be some type of disagreements
Speaker 1: and arguments and all that type of that type of situation. However,
Speaker 1: with our film, it shows that we can overcome that.
Speaker 1: It's like, no matter what your differences are, no matter
Speaker 1: what type of um arguments or disagreements you get into
Speaker 1: as a brotherhood, you can still come together and be
Speaker 1: there for your brother. So I think that's one of
Speaker 1: the things that that's helped this this series you know,
Speaker 1: prevailed throughout the years. Yeah, you know, I think, yes, definitely.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite one of my favorite scenes is
Speaker 1: when he's going through the divorce and you guys came
Speaker 1: over and just started setting at the table like we're
Speaker 1: about to play cards, food a lot of doubt play
Speaker 1: is That just made my heart. But I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you my favorite part the way you dealt with your son,
Speaker 1: Oh yes, it was. It was so good every everything.
Speaker 1: Because every time you would pray, I would be like,
Speaker 1: you have the wrong prayers, bro, you got the wrong prayer.
Speaker 1: He was like, make God change and make God change it.
Speaker 1: But when you finally said, God changed change me right,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, you get thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: That was that That storyline was was was tough for
Speaker 1: me because it was so new, the pronouns and there's
Speaker 1: something that really hasn't been explored too much, especially in
Speaker 1: the black community. And um and I was like, I was,
Speaker 1: I was on the fence because I was like, they
Speaker 1: don't really know why my character feels the way that
Speaker 1: he feels. To me, people can come to their own conclusion.
Speaker 1: So it was it was a tough storyline for me.
Speaker 1: Eric was a great actor that played my son and
Speaker 1: and the way that it was written was was so beautiful.
Speaker 1: So thank you for thank you for enjoying that beautiful
