Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy CENTRALOW coming to you from New
Speaker 1: York City, the loosely city in America. It's the Daily Shown.
Speaker 1: Japan gets knocked up, It's okay that summer is almost
Speaker 1: open and happy Jakobson. This he's the Daily Show with
Speaker 1: v Thank you everybody, welcome to the thank you shot
Speaker 1: coming on. Thank you so much for shooting it. Thank
Speaker 1: you for coming out of contay. I can saying it's second.
Speaker 1: See that. Everybody taken see it. We're gonna ready fun
Speaker 1: show for you tonight. Japan is faking a pregnancy, Donald
Speaker 1: Trump needs a mole removed, and New York wants you
Speaker 1: to commit murder. Plus our guest tonight is the one
Speaker 1: and only Abby Jacobson. So let's feel those people. Let's
Speaker 1: jump straight. And so today's headlines. All right, people, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with all the news that happened today.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have enough space for it in
Speaker 1: the show. I tried everything. I even tried putting in
Speaker 1: the suitcase and standing on you know, like so it closes.
Speaker 1: But the news just get get kept getting caught in
Speaker 1: the zipper. And and so I'm sorry, but we just
Speaker 1: don't have time for it all. Fortunately, not enough time.
Speaker 1: It's just enough time for a segment week hall ain't
Speaker 1: nobody got time for that? All right? Let's kick things
Speaker 1: off with the ongoing saga of Donald Judeo Christian Trump,
Speaker 1: who earlier this week was rudely interrupted by the FBI
Speaker 1: when he was trying to hold classified documents. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot we don't know about this raid. What did
Speaker 1: the FBI find? Why would Trump be keeping these documents
Speaker 1: in the first place. Has Trump's secretly been able to
Speaker 1: read this entire time? But now we may be getting
Speaker 1: a little more insight into why the FBI moved in
Speaker 1: on mar Lago tonight brand new reporting about what led
Speaker 1: the FBI to execute a search warrant Monday at Trump's
Speaker 1: Florida home. The Wall Street Journal reporting that the FEDS
Speaker 1: may have gotten a tip off from an insider. After
Speaker 1: officials visited mar Lago back in June to ask about
Speaker 1: government documents possibly stored there, Someone familiar with the stored
Speaker 1: papers told investigators there may still be more classified documents
Speaker 1: at the private club. Trump World is now reportedly trying
Speaker 1: to figure out who flipped. According to Rolling Stone, Trump
Speaker 1: is worried that he may have a rat or multiple
Speaker 1: rats in his mist He's wondering if his funds are tapped,
Speaker 1: or even if his bodies could be wearing a wire.
Speaker 1: Oh no, one of Trump's friends could be wearing a wire.
Speaker 1: This is the worst possible scenario because now he's got
Speaker 1: to tell Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon to take their
Speaker 1: shirts off, just be like, take it, you know what.
Speaker 1: On second thought, I'll just kill myself. And if this
Speaker 1: is actually true, I am going to be shocked. I
Speaker 1: kind of believe someone would betray Trump's trust like this
Speaker 1: without getting a book deal. First, You're leaving money on
Speaker 1: the table. People, what are you doing? Also, by the way,
Speaker 1: before Maga world tears itself apart trying to figure out
Speaker 1: who's the rat, I think you should all consider the
Speaker 1: fact that Trump could be the leak. Okay, no, because
Speaker 1: if there's one thing we've learned over the past seven
Speaker 1: years is that he's the king of snitching on himself.
Speaker 1: Before we know, he was bragging about it at the
Speaker 1: Marlogo buffet. He's just like this chocolate cake. It's almost
Speaker 1: as unforgettable as the classified documents I keep in my basement,
Speaker 1: but not a singled person. Note it was the perfect crime.
Speaker 1: By the way, that's a real picture of him at
Speaker 1: the buffet. We didn't create that. There are many pictures
Speaker 1: of him at the buffet. Now, if we had more time,
Speaker 1: we could get into how Trump has had such a
Speaker 1: tight hole in the Republican Party that they're willing to
Speaker 1: put him above the law. Oh, we could talk about
Speaker 1: with a Merrickgland. I'm sealing the search war will convince
Speaker 1: Republicans that the search was justified. But we just don't
Speaker 1: have the time because while Trump is fighting off the
Speaker 1: FBI to former Trump officials are trying to dodge Iranian
Speaker 1: assassins turned to a story overseas. A member of Iran's
Speaker 1: elite Revolutionary Guard is charged in an alleged plot to
Speaker 1: murder former National Security advisor John Bolton. Investigators say the
Speaker 1: alleged murder for higher plant began to take shape after
Speaker 1: this drone strike in Iran assassinated Tamperani in General Constant
Speaker 1: Sulamani over two years ago. Iran found retaliation. The Justice
Speaker 1: Department is now charging Shiroan pur Safi, a member of
Speaker 1: Iran's Revolutionary Guard, with offering three hundred thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: murder Bolton. The FBI also alleges that per Safi had
Speaker 1: a second job for one million dollars. The target of
Speaker 1: that job former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: America assassinated Iran's top general, one of the country's most
Speaker 1: respected and feared men, and Iran responded by trying to
Speaker 1: kill John Bolton and Mike Pompeos. It's not the same level.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like if your wife slept with your
Speaker 1: best friend and you're like, oh, yeah, well I hooked
Speaker 1: up with the I T guy at your office, Okay.
Speaker 1: You know. In some ways, it actually says something about
Speaker 1: how divided America is, yeah, that it has nobody as
Speaker 1: respected as sole Money was in Iran. It feels like
Speaker 1: if anyone got assassinated in America, half the country would
Speaker 1: be like, hell, yeah, thank you Iran. And by the way,
Speaker 1: just as insult thand dollars for Balton, but a million
Speaker 1: for Pompeo. Yeah, that's a big difference in price. I
Speaker 1: almost almost feel bad for John Bolton because I don't
Speaker 1: know what's worse being on an assassin's hit list or
Speaker 1: having the assassin's find you, and the assassin jumping out
Speaker 1: like John Bolton sag, I'm looking for a more important
Speaker 1: person to kill. Do you know what I could find him? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 1: point me in the right direction. Also, by the way,
Speaker 1: if Iran was willing to pay a million dollars to
Speaker 1: kill Trump secretary of State, they should have just asked
Speaker 1: Trump to do it. I mean, he was gonna get
Speaker 1: his vice president killed for free. Come on, people, think
Speaker 1: about it. Think about it. No, but for real, I
Speaker 1: do feel bad for John Bolton. I mean, yes, he's
Speaker 1: always trying to bomb every other country. Yes, he brags
Speaker 1: about overthrowing governments, but being hunted by the Iranians can't
Speaker 1: be fun. I mean, it definitely explains why he's wearing
Speaker 1: that stupid fake mustache the whole time. It's real. Oh sorry,
Speaker 1: my bad. Now. Now, if we had more time, we
Speaker 1: could talk about how America sees nothing wrong with assassinating
Speaker 1: foreign officials whenever they like, but ax serprise with other
Speaker 1: county want to get revenge. You should have turned the
Speaker 1: other cheek. But we just don't have the time. God
Speaker 1: damn it. Because while Iran is trying to get rid
Speaker 1: of people, Japan is trying to figure out how to
Speaker 1: add people to its population. The only problem is who
Speaker 1: they put in charge of that. Japan has replaced the
Speaker 1: female minister in charge of reversing the country's falling birth
Speaker 1: rate with a man who has never had children. Messanabu
Speaker 1: Ogura said he gained an understanding of the issues facing
Speaker 1: expectant mothers by wearing a simulated pregnancy belly for twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, telling reporters that wearing the sixteen pound prosthetic
Speaker 1: left him with sympathy for women and back pain. This
Speaker 1: is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 1: If having a big belly helped men understand women, the
Speaker 1: patriarchy would be long gone. What are you talking about.
Speaker 1: There's the dumbest thing you have all it every with
Speaker 1: his bag also like what a bitch ass one day
Speaker 1: and he was like moll my back. Not aside from
Speaker 1: trying to misdoubt fire their falling population problem, Japan is
Speaker 1: trying everything to figure out why their people aren't having
Speaker 1: more babies. And look, I'm not a scientist, but if
Speaker 1: you ask me, maybe it's because they invented the PlayStation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that thing has prevented more pregnancies than every condom die
Speaker 1: fragm and I you d ever made ever? That's real
Speaker 1: birth control. Yeah, be like, all right, baby, you ready
Speaker 1: to have some sex or we're gon have some real
Speaker 1: sex and that goods gonna be alright, Let me just
Speaker 1: finish this mission. Let me I just I love the RPG.
Speaker 1: Your boys get online. We're gonna all night. Baby. You're
Speaker 1: probably gonna want to live the rest of your life
Speaker 1: without me. Yeah. Now, if we had more time, we
Speaker 1: could talk about how Japan is a warning to every
Speaker 1: developed country in the world that if your immigration policies
Speaker 1: are too restrictive, at some point, you're population is going
Speaker 1: to collapse. Oh, if we have time, we could have
Speaker 1: so much fun talking about how Japan basically has a
Speaker 1: secretary of road dogging, which is wild, Like what does
Speaker 1: he do to the arm meats like snipe holes out
Speaker 1: of condoms. I'd love to figure it out, but nobody
Speaker 1: got time for that because we have to go to
Speaker 1: a break. But before we do, we have to check
Speaker 1: in on the weather with our very own dassilic everybody.
Speaker 1: Don't hope you feel so off? Does he? A? You're
Speaker 1: gonna tell us about the weather. Yes, Trevor, let's talk
Speaker 1: about whether a man should be wearing a fake pregnancy belly.
Speaker 1: Let me just say, as someone who has been pregnant,
Speaker 1: I can tell you the belly is only of the
Speaker 1: full experience. It would be more realistic if he wore
Speaker 1: the fake belly and then got punched in the dick
Speaker 1: for thirty six hours straight, and then that dick got
Speaker 1: ripped off, and then he had to raise that dick
Speaker 1: for eighteen years. Ah, the miracle of life. But at
Speaker 1: least he's trying go and that goes. That goes both ways.
Speaker 1: I've always said that, which is why I've been trying
Speaker 1: to understand the male experience better by acting like a
Speaker 1: man like I've been getting paid more for no reason.
Speaker 1: I have like three friends named Kyle. I'm talking a
Speaker 1: lot about bitcoin, even though I don't know anything about bitcoin. Wow, DESI,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're really I've been interrupting people more.
Speaker 1: I didn't really get it back. Great, Well, maybe once
Speaker 1: you get the hangar. Yeah, so all you have to
Speaker 1: do is wait until someone starts talking, and then you
Speaker 1: start talking. I know what interrupting is. It's when you
Speaker 1: speak on top of somebody else. Actually, Trevor. It's when
Speaker 1: you interject before someone's completed their thoughts. Does he stopped
Speaker 1: man flating to me? Okay, alright, calm down, don't act
Speaker 1: crazy kid using me. Has anyone told you you should
Speaker 1: smile more? Give it a try, Give it a try.
Speaker 1: Let's see those dimples. You know what I'm I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna need a moment, So let's take a break. Does
Speaker 1: he light like everybody? And when we come back, Runny
Speaker 1: check will what summer is terrible? So don't go away?
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Show. You know there's so
Speaker 1: much arguing in America today, but we hear at the
Speaker 1: Daily Show. I think they could be even more so.
Speaker 1: To do our part, here's Ronny Chang with another installments
Speaker 1: have proved me wrong, ice cream vacations, long walks on
Speaker 1: the beach, hit all that ship. We're gonna prove me
Speaker 1: wrong Summer edition. Summer is the worst season? Proved me wrong? Well,
Speaker 1: I would say summer is the season where everyone's the happiest.
Speaker 1: During the summer, everyone gets to come outside, everybody should
Speaker 1: turns into a raw shack test. But during the summer,
Speaker 1: when everyone's swatian grows, everyone's Swatian growth. We're all equal
Speaker 1: during the summer. So you're making a Marxist argument for
Speaker 1: b o during summer. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, sorry, this
Speaker 1: is the free world. The top one percentsion not have
Speaker 1: b oh. How do you smell? Go ahead, smell, I
Speaker 1: dare you smell the ship right now? You smell like me.
Speaker 1: See we're the same. That's not a compliment. Pools are
Speaker 1: better than ocean's grove me wrong. Pools a stinky. They
Speaker 1: have nasty people that go in there. They just getting
Speaker 1: it if they funky bodies and they're sweaty cells and
Speaker 1: just PLoP up in there. Yeah you think people don't
Speaker 1: pee and poop in the ocean. It's not just people.
Speaker 1: By the way. You think whales are coming on land
Speaker 1: to take a ship, Yeah, if they want to. They're
Speaker 1: not just shipping in the ocean. It's whales, jellyfish, seals,
Speaker 1: it's octopus, it's everything in there's just shipping into your mouth.
Speaker 1: Oceans are just pulls that are trying to kill you.
Speaker 1: Give me. Shark sightings have been here this last week.
Speaker 1: There's five Like, did you see the shark? No? Interesting?
Speaker 1: So the argument is I didn't see the sharks, so
Speaker 1: therefore the ocean is safe. Good luck out there. I've
Speaker 1: never seen a shark at and myself, so what you're shot?
Speaker 1: Denier get food from the pools either, there's no fishing
Speaker 1: put in the ocean. On m'd be sustain eating myself
Speaker 1: fresh coconuts, fresh fish. You can't eat anything near the ocean.
Speaker 1: Sand gets in protein. Put your money where a mouth is.
Speaker 1: This is food. This is your food on the beach.
Speaker 1: Not good enough for you. Okay, I got some bad
Speaker 1: news for you. There's no protein in sand. Thanks for
Speaker 1: the fries. Thanks, bro. Pigeons up better than seagulls. Broke
Speaker 1: me wrong. Pigeons are literal like rats with wings. Genetically
Speaker 1: they used to beat white, but then out of like Darwinism,
Speaker 1: and like after all these years they actually turned black
Speaker 1: to adapt to like certain environments, and they're so gross.
Speaker 1: Why do you have to make this racial. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about pigeons as a seagulls not why do you watch no,
Speaker 1: But it's like it's over time, like they start genetically
Speaker 1: they used to be white, but genetically, over time they
Speaker 1: have been canceled for less than that with a popsicles cross,
Speaker 1: I don't need to watch someone for late dessert eating.
Speaker 1: I exchange groes enough. At least you can't deep throw
Speaker 1: with it. I'm sorry. It prepares you for life. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of work, and there's lots of instances where
Speaker 1: you have to do things similarly to eating a popsicle.
Speaker 1: And you work in show business. But popsicles are good. Man.
Speaker 1: You got all different cons of of flavors, like whats
Speaker 1: you got an original? Pops bomb? Pops None of those
Speaker 1: are flavors. Okay, so you tell me what flavor that is.
Speaker 1: This is great and I absolutely love. Everybody hates on it,
Speaker 1: but it's so good. Grapes don't taste like that in
Speaker 1: real life. Okay. The guy who created the flavor grape
Speaker 1: clearly has never had a great before. Yeah see, no,
Speaker 1: that's you ate it like a pelican. You didn't even
Speaker 1: chew it. How did you do that? It's sticking to
Speaker 1: your beard? Now that's so good? Yeah see that's no man,
Speaker 1: popsicles on gross? You are gross? Which one you got against?
Speaker 1: Popsicles're messy? They make my hands stick. Why you don't
Speaker 1: eat it fast enough? Yeah? I can't put it in
Speaker 1: your mouth fast enough. Why don't you demonstrate? Right? Now,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, okay, that's very experience. No mask you ever
Speaker 1: still had my lip cloths on? Okay, you know what
Speaker 1: that was? Actually, as much as I want to hate
Speaker 1: on that, it was actually pretty impressive. I feel like
Speaker 1: you actually did prove me wrong. So you know what,
Speaker 1: what's happening, all right, is that what I win? You
Speaker 1: get to wear the golden thong. You have now earned
Speaker 1: the right to take my place behind the proved you've
Speaker 1: clearly proven me wrong. That's what happens when you proved
Speaker 1: me wrong to take over. No, you gotta take my
Speaker 1: place now. It's like highlander. You're right, now, take take
Speaker 1: my spot. Thank you so much about running all right,
Speaker 1: Stay tuned because when we come back, Abbe Jacobs and
Speaker 1: will be joining me on the show. Don't Go Away.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Day Show. My guest tonight is
Speaker 1: actor White and producer Abbie Jacobson. She's here to talk
Speaker 1: about co creating and starring in the new series A
Speaker 1: League of Their Own, which will be available to stream
Speaker 1: August twelve on Prime Video. Please welcome Abbie Jacobson. An Jacobson,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Daily Show. For having me. It
Speaker 1: is so good to have you back lost time you
Speaker 1: were on the show. Um, we're talking about the end
Speaker 1: of broad City twenty years ago. It feels like it
Speaker 1: does like what I didn't know was you already embarking
Speaker 1: on a new journey to start league of their own.
Speaker 1: And I love how you've taken a movie that's a
Speaker 1: classic and turned it into something that's super current to
Speaker 1: what's happening today. But it feels like it's it's very
Speaker 1: much in touch with the original. I love to hear that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is a it's it's quite a classic. It's it's
Speaker 1: people's favorite movie. It's a lot of pressure, it is.
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite movies. Is why we wanted
Speaker 1: to do it. But you know it was made when
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a two hour film. This is
Speaker 1: a TV version. We have a lot more real estate,
Speaker 1: and we wanted to tell a lot more stories. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that Penny Marshall hinted at in
Speaker 1: the film. Yes that it's like alluding to to Finkure.
Speaker 1: She had to do that though. But what what's great
Speaker 1: is that the story talks about everything. It talks about sexuality,
Speaker 1: you know, it talks about acceptance, it talks about you know,
Speaker 1: even even that that that that little nod to oh, segregation,
Speaker 1: It's like, you've got the fight for women's rights, but
Speaker 1: the black women often excluded from that conversation. And now
Speaker 1: you've gone, I'm gonna bring all those conversations, but I'm
Speaker 1: not going to allude to them. No, We're going full
Speaker 1: on no eluding. Yeah, I mean it's a women playing baseball.
Speaker 1: I think some of them are going to be queer.
Speaker 1: I think we're Yes, I think so. And none of
Speaker 1: them were in the film, even though it's like this
Speaker 1: kind of iconic game movie, there's no like, no one's
Speaker 1: gay in it, Rosie's in it, not. There's a little touches.
Speaker 1: And the more research we did, the more we found
Speaker 1: out that this was a really queer league and cure.
Speaker 1: People didn't just show up at Stonewall like we've been
Speaker 1: around forever. And so the more researcher did abou queer
Speaker 1: culture in the forties, which is like, was so exciting
Speaker 1: to dive into those stories. And then there is this
Speaker 1: this scene in film that you all know as well,
Speaker 1: which is an iconic scene where there's a foul ball
Speaker 1: and a black women pick stuff and chucks it back
Speaker 1: and it's like she, why is it? She's a great
Speaker 1: arm And then that's truly it. If you blink, you
Speaker 1: miss the scene. It's so short, and in ninety two,
Speaker 1: I think Penny couldn't tell that story as thoroughly as
Speaker 1: we can now. And so in that league that the
Speaker 1: film features, women of color were not allowed to try out.
Speaker 1: They were not a play. And so in this show
Speaker 1: we find out, well, what happens when that door opens
Speaker 1: for my character and a lot of other white women
Speaker 1: in white passing women to get to play in that league,
Speaker 1: and what happens when it closes. And and this other
Speaker 1: main character in the show, which you're all going to
Speaker 1: find out when you watch the whole thing, Uh finds
Speaker 1: her own team and and her characters loosely based on
Speaker 1: these three women who played in the Neger leagues. Tony
Speaker 1: Stone made me Johnson and Connie Morgan. So once we
Speaker 1: like found out, once I found out all about them,
Speaker 1: that was the most exciting part to tell their story.
Speaker 1: I think you tell it well. I think it's really funny.
Speaker 1: I think it brings so many stories together. One of
Speaker 1: the most amazing moments for me. You know, you say,
Speaker 1: you say the word research a lot, and I hope
Speaker 1: everybody understands you actually did research the league itself. You
Speaker 1: talked to women who played baseball, You talked to them
Speaker 1: about the experiences. You had one of the most amazing
Speaker 1: moments where you shared the fact that you're quit with
Speaker 1: a baseball legend. Yeah maybe yeah, and she came out yeah.
Speaker 1: So again, We've been working on this since and research
Speaker 1: was such like every iteration of the writer's room, all
Speaker 1: the department has had access to all the research and
Speaker 1: so in doing that, we met a lot of the
Speaker 1: players from the league and a lot of other softball
Speaker 1: players that that are still around. And Maybell Blair, who
Speaker 1: was consulting with us on the baseball part, you know,
Speaker 1: Will Graham and I who co created it with me.
Speaker 1: We we had a drink with her. She has this
Speaker 1: like dive bar down in California that she loves and
Speaker 1: she brought us out to like a five pm dinner
Speaker 1: Old and so we were like, we gotta bring this
Speaker 1: part up. And I was like, you know, I'm queer.
Speaker 1: Will Square was like outing us all uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like that was missing from the film, like
Speaker 1: there had to have been queer characters. Do you feel
Speaker 1: like that was missing from the film, and she took
Speaker 1: a breath. I was like, well, you know, I'm gay
Speaker 1: and I've never said that to really anybody, and queers
Speaker 1: not a not a term. She was like that that
Speaker 1: was a slur for a long time. And so she
Speaker 1: told us about four years ago. But we just premiered
Speaker 1: at Rebeca in June and she came out on stage
Speaker 1: publicly and that was amazing, and I mean, she's ninety five,
Speaker 1: and it just shows, like these stories we're telling in
Speaker 1: the show, I just feel very proud to be to
Speaker 1: be showing this kind of representation because I mean, it
Speaker 1: took her nine It was an incredible moment, but it
Speaker 1: also took her to be nine five. So that shows
Speaker 1: how dangerous and it was to be queer and still
Speaker 1: is to be queer, and how important it is to
Speaker 1: show these stories. So I think that's that's what makes
Speaker 1: it so powerful, is you know, you use the comedy
Speaker 1: to get us in and it's a really funny show.
Speaker 1: I hope everybody like watch it for that reason alone,
Speaker 1: if you want, it's super funny, But the reason you're
Speaker 1: gonna stay is because there's so much heart. It like
Speaker 1: talks to the precarious nature of being queer and how
Speaker 1: you can and cannot exist in certain spaces, and then
Speaker 1: it talks about everything it talks about, like how women
Speaker 1: have to sort of step out of the spotlight when
Speaker 1: the men are like, we're coming back to check out league.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a really funny show. I think you've
Speaker 1: done a great job. I hope it goes on for many, many,
Speaker 1: many seasons. I hope we just see you again with
Speaker 1: more and more and more and more. Come back a
Speaker 1: couple of months. Yeah, just keep coming back to So
Speaker 1: much for joining again. So it's wonderful, ativity so much
Speaker 1: fun having jackon said, everybody's gonna play a quick right
Speaker 1: over the right back after this. Thank you again. We'll
Speaker 1: shout it tonight. And so next time, stay safe out there,
Speaker 1: and remember your best friends could be Wyatts happing your conversations.
