Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central, then New York sitting in America.
Speaker 1: It's the shows and you sed he to do with you?
Speaker 1: With your whole the shows? O, Hey, what's going on? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Welcome to the damny show. I want to tight and
Speaker 1: I yeah, I'm back. But honestly, I never left. No
Speaker 1: one told me how to get out this damn building.
Speaker 1: You should see them after the show. They just leave.
Speaker 1: But we've got a great show for you tonight. My
Speaker 1: girl Nia Long is joining us, So let's get right
Speaker 1: into it. Let's start with the war in Ukraine. We're
Speaker 1: coming up on eleven months since the Kremlin. Gremlin invaded,
Speaker 1: and now the Ukrainian military is getting some major reinforcements.
Speaker 1: The announcement came this morning. The United States and Germany
Speaker 1: will both be sending tanks to Ukraine. Ukraine has been
Speaker 1: desperate to get tanks as Russia prepares for a spring offensive,
Speaker 1: and this morning it looks like more than a dozen
Speaker 1: German tanks will be on their way soon, with as
Speaker 1: many as one hundred to follow, with the US expected
Speaker 1: to send more than thirty Abrams tanks. Ukraine wants the
Speaker 1: advanced German tanks as soon as possible. As for those
Speaker 1: Abrams tanks, the only issue is they will not likely
Speaker 1: right for at least a year. A year, Oh, come
Speaker 1: on us. Ukraine is fighting for its life and America
Speaker 1: is like, all right, the delivery window is from June
Speaker 1: to December. Make sure your home. I'll tell you that
Speaker 1: damn Lewis that Joy has really messed up the post hall.
Speaker 1: He's gotta go now. The reason it took so long
Speaker 1: to send these tanks is that Germany didn't want to
Speaker 1: send tanks alone. They wanted another country to send tanks
Speaker 1: with them, because you know, it's not a great look.
Speaker 1: Just when it's a German tanks rolling across Europe kind
Speaker 1: of makes people nervous. I think it should have been Sweden. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they send thanks to Ukraine and Russian Okay, hear
Speaker 1: me out, hear me out. And then Sweden do that
Speaker 1: thing you do when you sent the tanks in parts
Speaker 1: with a diagram for assembling love. Yeah. See see that
Speaker 1: would bring the countries together, because no one couldn't assemble
Speaker 1: that ship on their own. You know, you crying to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, Russia, do you have an extra one
Speaker 1: of those wooden peggy thingies? Moving on, the FDA has
Speaker 1: some good news for babies. And if there are any
Speaker 1: babies out there watching what you're doing, go to Bay.
Speaker 1: And also your foods about to taste a lot less
Speaker 1: like pennies. In tonight's health Watch, we have important information
Speaker 1: for parents about baby food. The FDA today proposed new
Speaker 1: levels for lead in baby food, cutting the allowable level
Speaker 1: by about to twenty parts per billion or less. Now
Speaker 1: that would apply to baby foods made with fruits, vegetables,
Speaker 1: and dry cereals, but not cereal puff and teething biscuits,
Speaker 1: w have been found to have some of the highest
Speaker 1: lead levels. The author of a nineteen report that found
Speaker 1: dangerous levels of lead in nearly of manufactured baby food
Speaker 1: says the FDA proposals don't go far enough to protect children.
Speaker 1: But at least now you know. But at least now
Speaker 1: you know. Is that a thing? Is this how you
Speaker 1: break bad news to people? Now, Hey, remember that bump
Speaker 1: I thought was a spider bite, Well it's herpes. But
Speaker 1: at least now you know. For more on this news
Speaker 1: from the f d A, we send our correspondents out
Speaker 1: in the field, So let's go live to Daisy lighted
Speaker 1: and Dulce, say Sloan, it doesn't. Let's start with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, this story is crazy. How does baby food
Speaker 1: even get let in it? No one knows, Wanda. It
Speaker 1: could be from the soil. It could be from an
Speaker 1: old paint in the processing plan. It could be the
Speaker 1: guy at the end of the assembly line who sprinkles
Speaker 1: lead into all the jars. You're telling me they got lead,
Speaker 1: Babe down there, that's that's probably where to let us
Speaker 1: coming from. It's impossible to say, but this regulation is necessary, Wanda.
Speaker 1: Let's harmful to babies, and they shouldn't eat it unless
Speaker 1: they keep screaming for it, and then it's like, fine,
Speaker 1: who gives a ship have it? Whatever makes this cantrum stop?
Speaker 1: Parenting is complicated, Okay, let's turn to Dulcie. I guess
Speaker 1: it's a good thing the FDA is taken action on
Speaker 1: this for babies. Babies. I'm in a supermarket in Jackson, Mississippi,
Speaker 1: trying to buy bottled water because look at the water
Speaker 1: they got down here. The government needs to fix this problem.
Speaker 1: Why the babies get proud of Why are the babies
Speaker 1: getting priority. I'm the one paying American taxes. I mean, well, well,
Speaker 1: people love babies. Come on, they're cute. I'm cute. Babies
Speaker 1: hit a miss. I mean, you see them. You you
Speaker 1: try to be nice, but that baby was a grimler linthen.
Speaker 1: How is this helping babies? Okay, they're not getting rid
Speaker 1: of the lead, they're just lowering the amount. How about
Speaker 1: we don't eat any harm for chemicals. That's that's all
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. Friend, don't say I wish. It's just
Speaker 1: not possible. You know, lead is in the soil, mercury's
Speaker 1: in the ocean. Animals are full of plastic. It's called
Speaker 1: the ecosystem. Das. He's got a point, dulcing. I mean,
Speaker 1: chemicals are everywhere, especially everywhere black people live. I mean,
Speaker 1: my first boyfriend was exposed to so many chemicals tea
Speaker 1: gloat in the dark. But I've never heard of that before.
Speaker 1: Are you sure that was the chemicals? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: hard to say. He had a lot going on. I see, So, Daisy,
Speaker 1: is this the best to FDA can do? Just try
Speaker 1: to make sure babies aren't eating too much lead? I
Speaker 1: want to it's not a bad strategy if babies are
Speaker 1: going to spend their lives eating chemicals and we may
Speaker 1: as well get them started early to build up in immunity,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that's why I've decided to eat
Speaker 1: more lead. You know, personally, I'm just earning now, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't think you should. Here's how I see it.
Speaker 1: If I start now, then by this time next year,
Speaker 1: I should be able to eat a whole car battery
Speaker 1: and be fine. That's not a bad idea. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I guess I can try, don't m m hmm.
Speaker 1: That's a good year. Tired? Oh my god, this lead
Speaker 1: is not bad mm hmm. Very really, I'll tell you what, Wanda,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what else? Uhds dash, Yeah, what were
Speaker 1: you gonna say? Oh? Just said if babies and humans
Speaker 1: can come in together, it's for America. Great lost her?
Speaker 1: Damn Mike, I'm I'm glad that nothing happened to me,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Who this after being healthy?
Speaker 1: This water wasn't that bad? Don't see you're you're glowing?
Speaker 1: Thank you said that news? Get carey, lord, I hope
Speaker 1: being sures here is good. There's a like and don't
Speaker 1: say slow and everyone all right when we stop back
Speaker 1: Flory won Julian Visions, Come city. You don't want to
Speaker 1: miss it. M welcome best of the Daily Show. Atlanta
Speaker 1: is in termol right now. And if you're wondering why,
Speaker 1: it's because the police shot a protester in Cops City.
Speaker 1: And if that has you even more confused, we sent
Speaker 1: Roy Wood Jr. Down there to help explain. Tonight, We'll
Speaker 1: take a look at Atlanta. We're just getting crazy. I'm
Speaker 1: talking waffle house crazy. Atlanta's busy downtown descended into chaos
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Hundreds of protesters marched in the streets
Speaker 1: in the wake of the death of a twenty six
Speaker 1: year old environmental activists. The activist was killed on Wednesday
Speaker 1: as officers cleared protesters from the site of a planned
Speaker 1: police training center. Police training center, but these guys train right,
Speaker 1: This isn't an arm militia of interns. Back before things
Speaker 1: got this bad, I went to Atlanta and met with
Speaker 1: local activists Jasmine Burnett that Land Police Foundation is building
Speaker 1: a massive urban warfare training facility with bombs, testings, tear
Speaker 1: gas explosions, are shooting range dit people march to defund
Speaker 1: the police and looked like they refunded. Activists have dubbed
Speaker 1: this development Cops City and acre ninety million dollar complex
Speaker 1: including a shooting range, burned buildings, and a mock city
Speaker 1: that includes apartments at school, even a bar. So there's
Speaker 1: basically six flags for the police. Yes, it's a playground.
Speaker 1: You can't call it a playground, which reads literally a playground.
Speaker 1: But I had a dream about how they could make
Speaker 1: this project more appealing to activists. We name it after
Speaker 1: Montin Luther Camp doesn't matter. Tyler Perry presents the training facility.
Speaker 1: The name doesn't change the impact until you want to
Speaker 1: watching on Tyler Perry. Activists like Jasmine have been campaigning
Speaker 1: against Cops City using legal avenues, but others have been
Speaker 1: like screw it, I'm going in full mad mass protesters
Speaker 1: through at least one molotov cocktail. Protesters set fire to
Speaker 1: a construction workers truck. Activists calling themselves forest Defenders have
Speaker 1: been occupying the woods around the Cops City building site
Speaker 1: for over a year. It's an effort to protect the
Speaker 1: surrounding black community from increased flooding and other environmental impacts
Speaker 1: of this development. So, against my better judgment, I headed
Speaker 1: to one of their encampment barricades. Burnt out truck, pretty
Speaker 1: normal place. I met with Sabo and green Grass, two
Speaker 1: forest defenders who were going to give me a tour
Speaker 1: of the Wait, wait, wait, who the hell is this all?
Speaker 1: I think that's the police rolling up. Yeah, because we're
Speaker 1: trying to obstruct their project to green Grass just to
Speaker 1: call green Grass on the police. I understand it's a
Speaker 1: black thing. Yeah, let's go this way. I'd rather take
Speaker 1: my chance with the Georgia e Walks than the cops.
Speaker 1: So I followed green Grass and Sambo into the woods.
Speaker 1: So I just got here and the police just ran
Speaker 1: us into the forest. Is that normal? Yes? Yes, they
Speaker 1: come Monday through Friday just to terrorize us like police do.
Speaker 1: Some of the forester offenders have a twenty five thousand
Speaker 1: dollar bounty on their head, so they mask up to
Speaker 1: disguise their identity, and some are even taking a cue
Speaker 1: from old school te pain. This is a plantation, shun
Speaker 1: historically and ex prison farm. To be honest, I wish
Speaker 1: I had an auto tune I could speak in because
Speaker 1: you've just made prison farm industrial complex sounds so melody.
Speaker 1: They led me to the living room one of their
Speaker 1: encampments with kind of horror film buts in the living room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't don't just say press. You got to say Roywood Jr.
Speaker 1: You know him from Death Comedy Jam. It's one of
Speaker 1: the best comedy commis to do it. Oh Um. This
Speaker 1: living room is used as our community function being go Yeah,
Speaker 1: that being a night. Where's the multiv cocktail station? Where's
Speaker 1: the gun train and station? The majority of us just
Speaker 1: want to live in peace with each other. We work
Speaker 1: here on ourselves, and we do yoga and we meditate,
Speaker 1: get massages here, but you get massages, you do yoga, meditate,
Speaker 1: stretch and deal with your inner like therapy. Has that
Speaker 1: had any type of effect on stopping Cops City from coming? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Their construction only gotten like two days in the past year,
Speaker 1: and one of the primary construction firms dropped out. According
Speaker 1: to leak documents, the cop City building plans months behind schedule.
Speaker 1: The Scrunch Brunella ship seems to be working, but forest
Speaker 1: defenders say law enforcement has stepped up raids on their camps,
Speaker 1: so they built barricades and they avoid police by living
Speaker 1: in tree houses like some sort of Antifa Swiss family Robinson. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's about fifty ft in the air. Yeah, tree sitters
Speaker 1: may drop things, body grab bees. You just said that
Speaker 1: they drop paper bags and ship. Well, if the cops
Speaker 1: are in here and you can't come down from the tree,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of different ways to protest. Why is
Speaker 1: your way living the treehouse a d feet up and
Speaker 1: drop ship paper bag. We have to stop cops sitting
Speaker 1: because they're practicing to murder us. They're practicing obamas, they're
Speaker 1: practicing how to um come into our homes more effectively
Speaker 1: while we're sleep. The alternative is staying here, shipping in
Speaker 1: the bag sometimes or way down and watch the world
Speaker 1: burn anyone up there. You just don't drop ship on us.
Speaker 1: This is my only suit. Since my visit to the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Force, police raids and arrests have only been more frequent,
Speaker 1: culminating than last week's shooting. Police don't usually target protesters
Speaker 1: like this in America, but if they go after celebrity journalists.
Speaker 1: Next good thing. I got rid of my phone in
Speaker 1: the wood so the police can't track me. Oh ship
Speaker 1: am I supposed to get it up out of here?
Speaker 1: Thank you boy? All right, stay tuned because when we
Speaker 1: come back, my friend me Along will be joining me
Speaker 1: on the show. But don't go away. When somebody to
Speaker 1: the Daily Show my desk tonight is a friend and
Speaker 1: my firm, who was starring in two new films, Missing,
Speaker 1: which is in theaters now, and You People, which will
Speaker 1: be streaming on Netflix. Jane Word, please welcome my girl

Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing really well. I was just
Speaker 1: gonna say the same thing. I so, uh, you have
Speaker 1: two movies out, It's crazy. What the hell won't he
Speaker 1: do it? He will do it all the time. And
Speaker 1: I just said to myself, I was like that, boy,
Speaker 1: I better heard him and get another job because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have a whole year where nothing comes out. You
Speaker 1: know how this goes. It's feasts or famine. Right, So
Speaker 1: how did you do that? You shot one movie Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Sunday too. They had me working on a Sunday. No.
Speaker 1: I actually, Um, it's just the timing of the release
Speaker 1: stage worked out this way. Yeah. That's great, that's great
Speaker 1: and okay, So when you people, you got Eddie Murphy, Julia,
Speaker 1: Louis dreffe Is, Jonah Hill. I've worked with all of them.
Speaker 1: Uh and Kenya too. Um. But to see what you
Speaker 1: you got to actually work with Eddie Murphy. When I
Speaker 1: worked with Eddie was it was nothing professor too, and
Speaker 1: I pretty much worked with a tennis ball because he
Speaker 1: was some days I'll get one Eddie Murphy, but he was.
Speaker 1: He was you know, all in the makeup is green
Speaker 1: and then it's exhausting. So sometimes the off camera stuff,
Speaker 1: I know, the tennis ball thing. I did that with
Speaker 1: Martin Lawrence. I mean you kind of with Big Mama's right,
Speaker 1: same kind of concept. He was there, he was there
Speaker 1: for every single shot. Wow. Yeah, no prosthetic makeup in
Speaker 1: this one. So he was there and he was wonderful,
Speaker 1: and I was so excited to finally be old enough
Speaker 1: to play his wife. Three years it was like, oh no,
Speaker 1: you're too youngs like you know, right, and now the
Speaker 1: men always get the younger women. So here we are.
Speaker 1: There you go. So and then your other movie, uh, Missing, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of like, uh you like the Black
Speaker 1: Woman Lee a Nisan and taken that storm read because
Speaker 1: she's on a mission to find me. And you know
Speaker 1: what's great about the film is everything is shot through
Speaker 1: some sort of technical um device, So it's either an
Speaker 1: iPhone or ring cam, you know, a secret phone that's
Speaker 1: like planted on set somewhere. So every every rule that
Speaker 1: I've learned about, you know, film and television, I had
Speaker 1: to throw out the window because there were no overs.
Speaker 1: There were no it was just shoot and don't ask
Speaker 1: questions because if you ask questions, you will be more confused.
Speaker 1: So I just had to trust the process. I would
Speaker 1: have been like with the cameras, like, hey, get that
Speaker 1: from one of my chains I had. I had Mum's Atlantis.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, shoot me from a fan And I tell
Speaker 1: you there's a moment in the film that actually applies
Speaker 1: to exactly what you're saying where I had to like
Speaker 1: shoot my own own coverage in on the cell phone
Speaker 1: and I'm like going like this, I'm like, nope, don't
Speaker 1: roll it again. Nope, nope, nope, No, okay, there we
Speaker 1: gotta started. A woman knows her light and her angles
Speaker 1: after a certain amount of times, you know, well this
Speaker 1: is uh I think it's it's it's great to see,
Speaker 1: you know, a black woman in this this type of role.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like taking over like a drama thing.
Speaker 1: So like maybe you can like take over like the
Speaker 1: John Wick. Uh yeah, yeah, it could be like John
Speaker 1: Wick is like they killed her edges and she wants
Speaker 1: to binge. Yes, no more lace front. That's right. As
Speaker 1: long as I can wear this code, I'll play whatever
Speaker 1: character it is. Fancy you are, you are very fancy
Speaker 1: me along for you know what happened as I went
Speaker 1: to Dubai right before I came here to see Beyonce,
Speaker 1: and she was incredible. I was like literally crying. I
Speaker 1: was crying in the audience. I'm like a true fan
Speaker 1: and that was my first Beyonce concert, so to see
Speaker 1: it in Dubai was like one of those moments that
Speaker 1: I will remember for the rest of my life. So
Speaker 1: everything in Dubai is blinking, and I'm kind of not blinking,
Speaker 1: but everything I packed kind of go, okay, we go,
Speaker 1: but everything I packed was blinking. So I'm sorry, Okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta I got to ask you something real quick.
Speaker 1: I have to ask you something because because I know
Speaker 1: how how it goes. So recently, I'm gonna read it
Speaker 1: that there was a headline right where you said I
Speaker 1: quote black movies and black famous only hold us back. Yes,
Speaker 1: you want to clear that ship up, you will. It's
Speaker 1: not written how it goes because you know they take
Speaker 1: one hndline and again let me see that turns like
Speaker 1: black movies and black famous only hold us back. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what I mean, you know what I mean? But
Speaker 1: but so them for the white people in the audience. UM,
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is, if we continue to
Speaker 1: practice this idea of separatism, we continue to divide. And
Speaker 1: I will always and forever hold my fist up because
Speaker 1: I understand the experience. But I also believe that the
Speaker 1: more we understand about one another, and the more accepting
Speaker 1: we are of one another, this thing called art should
Speaker 1: be representative of all of us. We're gonna think a
Speaker 1: quick break. Who will be right back at h M.
Speaker 1: That's all show for to night. But before we go,
