Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central.
Speaker 3: It's America's only sorts for news.
Speaker 2: This it's The Daily Show with your host Michael Costa.
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Daily Show.
Speaker 3: I'm Michael Costa.
Speaker 4: We've got so much to talk about tonight. The NYPD
Speaker 4: does the Bear minimum, Fox News throws a party for themselves,
Speaker 4: and America's got a crush on a bad boy, like
Speaker 4: really like murder bad Anyways, let's get into the headlines.
Speaker 4: Let's start with the breaking news for the last few days.
Speaker 4: There's been a killer on the loose in America. Well,
Speaker 4: there's actually tons of killers in the loose in America,
Speaker 4: but this one killed someone important, so they were really
Speaker 4: looking for him.
Speaker 3: And personally, I'm glad they found him yesterday.
Speaker 4: Call me old fashioned, but I think murdering people in
Speaker 4: cold blood by shooting them in the.
Speaker 3: Back is wrong.
Speaker 4: So I'm glad that this ice cold assassin is off
Speaker 4: the streets. Let's find out more about his dark and
Speaker 4: mysterious past.
Speaker 5: Police officially charging twenty six year old Luigi Mangioni.
Speaker 3: Oh, well, well, hold on, what the assassin's name is?
Speaker 3: Luigi Mangioni. Did they find him hiding in a big pipe?
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: The cops were able to locate him after following the
Speaker 4: trail of Fedncini Alfredo leaning out of Central car. It's okay,
Speaker 4: I can make fun of Italians because Italians annoy the
Speaker 4: shit out of me. But fine, fine, he's Italian. Does
Speaker 4: that mean he's a criminal? Probably? But what evidence? What
Speaker 4: evidence do they have that this is the guy?
Speaker 6: According to court records, the suspected killer had three D
Speaker 6: printed ghost gun on him, several fake IDs, eight thousand
Speaker 6: dollars in cash, in a three page handwritten manifesto.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, that's a lot of it. That's a lot
Speaker 3: of it. What else did they find on him?
Speaker 4: Was he wearing a T shirt that said I shot
Speaker 4: a CEO and all I got is this lousy T shirt?
Speaker 3: Also?
Speaker 4: Are they sure that new Jersey ID was fake? I
Speaker 4: feel like, if your name is Luigi Mangioni, you're born
Speaker 4: with a new Jersey idea just slides out with you
Speaker 4: like the placenta.
Speaker 3: But but we can't give all the credit.
Speaker 4: To the Altoona police just because they caught him. Because
Speaker 4: the NYPD. Well, they did their part two. They were
Speaker 4: scouring the city for days. They were looking in the bushes.
Speaker 4: They looked on some other bushes. Here they're standing on
Speaker 4: a rock. Hey, should I look in that butch?
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: New York's finus. Don't get me wrong. They didn't spend
Speaker 3: the whole time barely looking in the bushes.
Speaker 4: The breakthrough in the case came as police divers continue
Speaker 4: to search a lake in New York Central Park for
Speaker 4: items dumped by the assassin.
Speaker 3: Great work, great work. They're like, hey, you guys looking
Speaker 3: for the killer.
Speaker 4: We're going to see if he wished on any lucky
Speaker 4: pennies down here. Hey, did the killer use a gun?
Speaker 4: Because we found five thousand to have them down here.
Speaker 4: So now that we know who the suspect is, it's
Speaker 4: time for society to indulge in its favorite pastime, obsessing
Speaker 4: over every detail about this guy's life like he's a
Speaker 4: k pop idol.
Speaker 8: Minjuni comes from a prominent Maryland family, which owns multiple
Speaker 8: country clubs in the state.
Speaker 2: He was valedictorian at his graduation from a forty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a year private school with a cardination in his buttonhole.
Speaker 4: Oh Ooh, a carnation in his buttonhole. Not like one
Speaker 4: of those peasants who fills his buttonholes with buttons, I guess.
Speaker 4: But see, this is why I don't want to send
Speaker 4: my kids to private school, because if they become a
Speaker 4: murderer someday, that tuition what a waste of money, right,
Speaker 4: And that's why I support public education.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: That didn't get the response I anticipated, but that's okay.
Speaker 4: It's surprising that he comes from such a privileged background.
Speaker 4: He's not really the kind of guy you'd expect to
Speaker 4: become a murderer. I mean, I expect him to crash
Speaker 4: the housing market, but not kill a guy. So we
Speaker 4: know he was privileged, He was apparently smart, but were
Speaker 4: there any other clues that something might be going wrong.
Speaker 8: He spent time in Hawaii at a cool living space
Speaker 8: during twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three, and two
Speaker 8: people who knew Mangioni during that time say that he
Speaker 8: was dealing with frequent back pain due to an injury.
Speaker 8: One edit that Mangoni started a book club, but several
Speaker 8: members left due to discomfort over what he chose to read.
Speaker 8: An online book review from January of this year apparently
Speaker 8: written by Mangeoni praises some of the writings of the
Speaker 8: unibomber Ted Kaczynski.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you know, this is a classic mistake.
Speaker 4: You never want to start your book club with the unibomber.
Speaker 4: I mean, you kick it off with some Sally Rooney,
Speaker 4: then a little Jonathan Franzen. Then when everybody's like, we're
Speaker 4: so bored, that's when you hit him with the mail
Speaker 4: bomb stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, but if.
Speaker 4: You're looking for something that will make you a hit
Speaker 4: with your book club, try this one.
Speaker 3: Lucky Loser.
Speaker 4: Adventures and Tennis and Comedy by Me Michael Costa. This
Speaker 4: is an actual, real book that I wrote, and it's
Speaker 4: available to pre order now.
Speaker 3: For the holidays.
Speaker 4: Consider it manifesto for wanting your money. So his medical
Speaker 4: issues could have been a motivation, The tech Dozinski love
Speaker 4: could have been a red flag, and recently there was
Speaker 4: something else raising alarm bells.
Speaker 5: Mangioni was in regular contact with friends and family until
Speaker 5: about six months ago, when he suddenly and inexplicably stopped
Speaker 5: communicating with them.
Speaker 3: In July, a friend messaged him on X Hey man,
Speaker 3: I need you to call me.
Speaker 9: You made commitments to me for my wedding and if
Speaker 9: you can't honor them, I need to know so I
Speaker 9: can plan accordingly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sorry, bro, but Luigi was busy planning the
Speaker 4: most important day of his life. Okay, but this is
Speaker 4: a good reminder when you get mad at someone for
Speaker 4: not responding, be kind.
Speaker 3: You never know what they're going through. They might be
Speaker 3: plotting an assassination.
Speaker 4: But now this guy's been arrested, and normally most people
Speaker 4: believe that getting a suspected killer off the streets.
Speaker 3: Is a good thing. That's not exactly what happened this time.
Speaker 3: Surging support on social media for murder suspect Luigi Mangioni.
Speaker 3: The hashtag free Luigi trending worldwide. Y'all saying a murderer?
Speaker 3: I'm saying freedom fighter.
Speaker 10: The comments posted in reaction to the CNN News post
Speaker 10: brutle McDonald's employees snitched on a working class hero two
Speaker 10: hundred and fifty one likes. I hope someone creates a
Speaker 10: go fund me for his legal defense. Not all heroes
Speaker 10: wear capes somewhere backpacks? Does he need someone to corroborate
Speaker 10: his alibi because I got him?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: These horrible comments should never be repeated, And now let
Speaker 4: me read all of them slowly on national television. Look,
Speaker 4: I understand that we all hate insurance companies. I happen
Speaker 4: to think America needs free, universal healthcare funded by taxes. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but shooting a real human in the back is not
Speaker 4: heroic and it's not going to get people what they want.
Speaker 4: And if you want real change, but we have to
Speaker 4: realize that comes from a lot of people working together,
Speaker 4: doing a lot of small things, organizing, educating, voting for
Speaker 4: politicians who will actually pass universal healthcare. And that might
Speaker 4: not be exciting or thrilling or sexy. But if you
Speaker 4: want that, why don't you pick up a copy of
Speaker 4: my new book, Lucky Loser. It's available for pre order
Speaker 4: now and it's inspired zero murders so far. Now, there
Speaker 4: is one other reason this guy's built such a fan base.
Speaker 3: He's a total snack.
Speaker 2: And also, let's not get around the fact a lot
Speaker 2: of people find the man attractive, and so.
Speaker 3: That a new hot felon.
Speaker 5: I don't know, and I was talked about how some
Speaker 5: people were saying he was an attractive looking killer.
Speaker 10: So much of you know, the clips we were watching
Speaker 10: at the top of this segment are driven by the
Speaker 10: fact that this is this is an attractive you know.
Speaker 7: We got to drop the banner and it's it is.
Speaker 3: Deeply troubling that we are celebrating this person.
Speaker 4: I love how Cnanna is like, I can't believe people
Speaker 4: are romanticizing this monster.
Speaker 3: Control Room, Kim we zoom in on his giant dung.
Speaker 3: My question is is he really even that hot?
Speaker 4: I mean, take away the hair and the abs, the face,
Speaker 4: the arm, that.
Speaker 3: Easy smile, the way his eyes light up. I'm sorry
Speaker 3: we talk what we're talking about Ciria and what are
Speaker 3: we talking? We're talking about the guy with the incredible abs.
Speaker 4: I know everyone's getting all horned up because he's got muscles, but.
Speaker 3: That's not what makes him man. You know what does
Speaker 3: providing for your family?
Speaker 4: Watching most of a documentary thinking about googling a charity
Speaker 4: you heard about.
Speaker 3: That's masculinity. All right, thank you.
Speaker 4: Now for more on the case, Let's go live to
Speaker 4: the Manhattan DA's office with Ronnie Chang. Ronnie, important case, Ronnie,
Speaker 4: what's the latest?
Speaker 11: Well, Michael was slowly learning more about who exactly Luigi
Speaker 11: Mangioni is. On the surface, well off, private school educated,
Speaker 11: young man Ivy League graduate. He worked as a data engineer.
Speaker 11: All in all, he had a bright future, but five
Speaker 11: days ago it took a doc turn.
Speaker 4: Wait wait, wait, hold on, did you show a photo
Speaker 4: of yourself shirtless hiking?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't worry about it.
Speaker 11: I just want to get some good pictures of me
Speaker 11: out there in case I'm ever in the news for murder.
Speaker 3: But you're gonna murder somebody, No, I don't know.
Speaker 11: I'm not a fortune teller, right, but he if it
Speaker 11: happens someday, I want to do the responsible thing and
Speaker 11: have some first traps ready for CNN. Right, so just
Speaker 11: just let me do my report, Okay, all right, fine,
Speaker 11: go ahead. Anyway, the killers' motivations remain a.
Speaker 12: Mystery, But what we do know is that in an
Speaker 12: America with such easy access to weapons and one where
Speaker 12: passions run high, a tragedy is just moments away and.
Speaker 13: Can have consequences that last for what, Runnie, Ronnie, what
Speaker 13: the hell is this?
Speaker 3: Ronnie?
Speaker 7: What is this?
Speaker 3: No, that's that's just a ken Burns effect.
Speaker 11: Okay, it helps make still images more dynamics, because Ronnie.
Speaker 4: Come on, man, the news isn't gonna show pictures of
Speaker 4: your dog busting out of your speedo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they will.
Speaker 11: That's how hotness works, Michael. I mean, just look at Jesus. Okay,
Speaker 11: well we still be talking about him today. If you
Speaker 11: look like Rudy Giuliani, I don't think so. I mean
Speaker 11: the fact is America is obsessed with image and images
Speaker 11: in our society. Do you taking dictate public opinion? And
Speaker 11: while we wait to hear about the suspect's motive, what
Speaker 11: about mentioning this history.
Speaker 3: Of how you get this?
Speaker 4: Why am I in that photo? Why am I four
Speaker 4: hundred pound? Why am I covered in chili? This sucks, Michael.
Speaker 11: It's not personal, Okay, this's a comparison.
Speaker 3: It just makes me look harder.
Speaker 11: But like I was saying, there was a manifesto, and
Speaker 11: Mangioni does seem to have a serious problem with that.
Speaker 13: Like, no, no, that's no Ronnie, dude, what why do
Speaker 13: I what's running? Why do I have a thought bubble
Speaker 13: that says I pee sitting down and you're not even
Speaker 13: in that photo?
Speaker 3: This sucks?
Speaker 11: Yeah, of course I'm not in the photo. Why would
Speaker 11: I associate myself with a loser pee sitting down?
Speaker 4: I mean, get out of here, Ronnie, Ronnie Chang everyone,
Speaker 4: Why am I when.
Speaker 3: We come back, we find out who want a word?

Speaker 3: Welcome back to the down the Show.
Speaker 4: My guest tonight is the Nation's first Native American to
Speaker 4: serve as a Cabinet secretary running the Department of Interior
Speaker 4: under President Biden. Please welcome Interior Secretary Dev Holland.
Speaker 3: Right, the Department of Interior.
Speaker 7: The Department of the Interior.
Speaker 3: Department of the INTI. And I'm going to ask for
Speaker 3: the audience because.
Speaker 11: They I know.
Speaker 4: It's been called the Department of everything else. What exactly
Speaker 4: is the Department of the Interior.
Speaker 15: At the Department of the Interior, we manage millions and
Speaker 15: millions of acres of all of our public lands under
Speaker 15: the National Park Service, of Wildlife Refuges, the Bureau of
Speaker 15: Land Management. We protect and preserve our nation's cultural heritage,
Speaker 15: and we uphold the trust and treaty obligations of our countries.
Speaker 15: Five hundred and seventy four federally recognized Indian tribes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you do at your job? Let's talk
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 4: You are thirty fifth generation Laguna Pueblo from New Mexico.
Speaker 3: Yes, thirty fifth generation?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 3: Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: But are you sure?
Speaker 4: I mean that is I asked my mom to get
Speaker 4: a picture of her grandfather and she left the room
Speaker 4: and I didn't see her for three days.
Speaker 3: How do you know, thirty five generations?
Speaker 15: So, my ancestors from Chaco Canyon it's now Choco Culture
Speaker 15: National Historical Park, migrated from that area and from other
Speaker 15: areas to Bearsiers, mas Verdi, all over the southwest to
Speaker 15: what is now New Mexico.
Speaker 7: In like twelve eighty.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 7: So I one time, I just for the heck of it, took.
Speaker 15: Out my calculator and searched how many years in a generation?
Speaker 15: And then I calculated it out and it came out
Speaker 15: to thirty five.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. One of the duties that you've taken on
Speaker 3: as the Secretary.
Speaker 4: Is trying to write some historical wrongs, many of which
Speaker 4: have been done under the guise of the Department of
Speaker 4: the Interior.
Speaker 3: Tell me about that journey. What has that been like?
Speaker 15: Yes, Yes, the department that I now lead once had
Speaker 15: the job of working to assimilate Indians, moving Native Americans
Speaker 15: out of their communities, away from their families, to assimilate
Speaker 15: them into mainstream society. And one of the ways they
Speaker 15: did that was to essentially steal children from their mother's
Speaker 15: father's families communities and ship them off, sometimes thousands of
Speaker 15: miles away from their homes to attend Indian boarding schools,
Speaker 15: and so when I got to the department, we thought
Speaker 15: about what can we do to make a difference in
Speaker 15: the future of our native communities across the country. One
Speaker 15: of the ways was to be honest about our country's history.
Speaker 15: It's a history that not a lot of people, not
Speaker 15: a lot of Americans realize, right when they think of
Speaker 15: boarding school, they think about, you know, sending their kids
Speaker 15: to really nice East Coast, you know, boarding school.
Speaker 7: This was a place where they cut their.
Speaker 15: Hair, burn their clothes, their native languages and couldn't they
Speaker 15: couldn't practice their cultures or traditions, and they were forced
Speaker 15: to eat food that they weren't used to.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 15: Traditional food is is It's important, right, depending on where
Speaker 15: you are geographically in the United States, And so so
Speaker 15: we wanted to bring attention to that.
Speaker 7: We wrote two reports.
Speaker 15: Our team researched, you know, they read one hundred and
Speaker 15: three million pages of documents to put these reports together.
Speaker 15: And then we set out across the country and did
Speaker 15: what we called the Road to Healing, and we heard
Speaker 15: directly from descendants and and actual survivors of the boarding school,
Speaker 15: the Indian boarding schools, and we that's to be an
Speaker 15: oral history at some point.
Speaker 7: We're working on that.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: It's the type of history that I'm embarrassed I don't
Speaker 4: know more about, so then I'm afraid to ask about it.
Speaker 4: And then the cycle happens and continues. And what does
Speaker 4: atonement look like?
Speaker 15: Yeah, so don't be afraid to ask, okay, because that's
Speaker 15: how you learned.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 3: I love that and I just did it on TV.
Speaker 3: And how I feel like about it.
Speaker 7: So one of the you know, one of the ways
Speaker 7: for me, it's healing.
Speaker 15: Right, we have this generational trauma and you know, you
Speaker 15: can look that up and get the definition for a
Speaker 15: generational trauma. It's handed down through the generations. You you
Speaker 15: kind of are affected by what happened to your great
Speaker 15: grandparents at some of these schools, and it's first acknowledging
Speaker 15: what happened. And that was an acknowledgment by President Biden.
Speaker 15: He made a form acknowledgment and apology in Arizona on
Speaker 15: Indian Land and apologize for these atrocities that happened to
Speaker 15: the children way back then. But it's also ensuring that
Speaker 15: people don't ever forget. You learn the history, you don't
Speaker 15: forget it. And so that's what we're doing with our
Speaker 15: Oral History project, making sure that folks have the opportunity
Speaker 15: to hear directly from those survivors and know what it
Speaker 15: was like.
Speaker 4: We as people are so afraid to apologize in every capacity,
Speaker 4: but it can be helpful.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, yes, you should.
Speaker 15: You know, we should be humble in the way we
Speaker 15: lead our lives, and when you're wrong, you should apologize,
Speaker 15: of course.
Speaker 4: Well, well, someone described you, maybe it was on your team,
Speaker 4: but I read it somewhere that you never fight, but
Speaker 4: you always win, And I was like, that's some Jedi
Speaker 4: mind shit right there. What is your philosoph and handling
Speaker 4: people or difficult situations or confrontations.
Speaker 15: Well that I think that came from when I ran
Speaker 15: my congressional campaign. And so it's it's yes, you, I mean,
Speaker 15: tell people what you're about, right, tell tell people what
Speaker 15: they're voting for, not what they're voting against. So it's
Speaker 15: it's caring about people. It's showing them what you want.
Speaker 7: To do for them. That's all on the campaign side.
Speaker 15: On this side of the table, working for as a
Speaker 15: federal employee, it's it's yes, it's being vulnerable, it's it's
Speaker 15: really appreciating, it's.
Speaker 7: It's admitting that, you know, you're not the end all
Speaker 7: be all.
Speaker 15: I lead the Department of the Interior, but I have
Speaker 15: sixty five thousand federal employees public servants every day come
Speaker 15: to work ready to dedicate their careers to the American people,
Speaker 15: and so I give them the credit as much as
Speaker 15: I can.
Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, it's beautiful to hear that.
Speaker 4: Also, I listened to that, and there's a tragic thought
Speaker 4: of the new administration and what's coming.
Speaker 3: And I feel like it'll be a different philosophy.
Speaker 4: How do you handle a new administration coming and one
Speaker 4: that appears on the exterior to be significantly different.
Speaker 15: Sure, well, of course we are responsible and we are
Speaker 15: moving forward with the transition, right. I know you're going
Speaker 15: to say it's helping the President. Biden wants a transition
Speaker 15: that is calm and collected and all of that. So
Speaker 15: we're going to do our best to make sure that
Speaker 15: whoever comes into the Department.
Speaker 7: Of the Interior knows what we're working on.
Speaker 15: You know, we can tell them what's meant a lot
Speaker 15: to us and how we've managed the department. But don't
Speaker 15: forget their will still be sixty five thousand career staff
Speaker 15: there who don't leave when I leave, right, and they
Speaker 15: will continue to do the really wonderful work that they
Speaker 15: have been doing for decades and decades.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about.
Speaker 4: You recently gave President Biden a parting gift at the
Speaker 4: Tribal Nation Summit.
Speaker 3: Tell me a little bit about that.
Speaker 15: What was it? Yes, Well, it's you know, for centuries,
Speaker 15: Native Americans have used blankets to you know, look when
Speaker 15: you when you bring a new baby home from the
Speaker 15: you know, from the hospital, or even if you have
Speaker 15: your child, you wrap it.
Speaker 7: In a blanket.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 15: A blanket is something that's comforting, it's something that's meaningful,
Speaker 15: and that's the way that Native Americans can show that
Speaker 15: they care about you.
Speaker 3: And I can't think of a more beautiful gift.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's you. You know, you wrap yourself in
Speaker 7: in in the blanket.
Speaker 3: There's blanket there, it is. That's great.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, here I am giving Amazon gift
Speaker 4: cards and those don't those don't Those don't warm you.
Speaker 4: If anything, they make you feel more vapid and have
Speaker 4: a hole in your sault.
Speaker 15: Well, that is it's a Native American owned business. And
Speaker 15: so I like to you know, solicit businesses that that
Speaker 15: I can like that, and yes, the President was very
Speaker 15: grateful for that. I had it monogrammed and it said
Speaker 15: Joe Biden Champion for Indian Country.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. And you just you recently ran thirty four
Speaker 3: miles in the desert. What's wrong?
Speaker 15: I mean, is it.
Speaker 4: Look although technically that could be somebody else because your
Speaker 4: face is covered.
Speaker 3: But what's all that about? You don't have enough on
Speaker 3: your Plate's so well?
Speaker 15: I love running, Yes, And we went to visit on
Speaker 15: an official visit to Canyon to Shay.
Speaker 7: It's in Arizona.
Speaker 15: It's a joint management between the National Park Service in
Speaker 15: the Navajo Nation. And one of our tour guides told
Speaker 15: us about this race, and as soon as I got
Speaker 15: in the car, I said, we need to run that.
Speaker 7: And so it's a lottery.
Speaker 3: I give us a little bit of an insight into
Speaker 3: your mindset.
Speaker 7: I applied for the race. I got in, believe it
Speaker 7: or not, and so then of course I had to.
Speaker 15: You know, I have a little bit of an entourage
Speaker 15: when I travel, so I some of my security detail
Speaker 15: and staff had to run with me.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 3: So they're going like four miles and then they're sharing it. No,
Speaker 3: I just think about our security here. They couldn't even
Speaker 3: go five hundred feet.
Speaker 15: One of them ran seventeen miles up and the other
Speaker 15: one ran seventeen miles back.
Speaker 3: With me years ago, you broke your foot hiking a mountain.
Speaker 4: It did, and then and then you refused to take
Speaker 4: a helicopter down and you walked down on this broken foot?
Speaker 3: Was that like for an.
Speaker 7: A broken leg? I had those hiking poles, so that
Speaker 7: was helpful.
Speaker 3: But well, it sounds like it wasn't if you broke.
Speaker 7: Your legs when you when you had no they weren't
Speaker 7: helpful at the time. I slipped on a rock. Isn't
Speaker 7: that strange? It was just a freak accident.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was.
Speaker 15: My choices were to walk down, take a helicopter like,
Speaker 15: dangle on the outside of the helicopter, okay, I think,
Speaker 15: or get eight staff away from their jobs to carry
Speaker 15: me down in a chair. And all I thought about
Speaker 15: was the headlines, right, Secretary Holland, you know, takes eight
Speaker 15: staff away from their jobs to carry her down the
Speaker 15: mountain in a chair.
Speaker 7: So I decided to walk.
Speaker 3: That's that's tough of you. It shows your grip. You
Speaker 3: have forty days left on the job. What is next
Speaker 3: for Madam Secretary?
Speaker 4: I mean, you have successfully run a salsa company, bakery.
Speaker 4: You're now what you're in school right now as we speak.
Speaker 7: Now, actually in school I am.
Speaker 15: I'm working to finish my master's thesis that I kind
Speaker 15: of put on hold for a long time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so okay, I'm going to finish that.
Speaker 3: And what is your master's thesis on?
Speaker 7: It's about It's about native food?
Speaker 15: Actually amazing, Yes, it's I wanted to show that at
Speaker 15: Laguna we still have we still our traditional foods are
Speaker 15: the same as they were before we migrated.
Speaker 7: Stew and bread. It might be different forms, right.
Speaker 15: I may not grow my corn personally, but when I
Speaker 15: cook it together the way that my ancestors did, we
Speaker 15: consider it traditional.
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
Speaker 4: I feel the same way about micro way of popcorn.
Speaker 4: But this comes from Ronnie Chang, my friend and fellow
Speaker 4: News team member, and I love this question.
Speaker 3: What Native American philosophy can be applied to our current
Speaker 3: lives and times? And if it's a bad question, it's
Speaker 3: Ronnie's question.
Speaker 9: Okay, So I.
Speaker 15: Don't know about Native American quote unquote philosophy, but I'll
Speaker 15: tell you some words that.
Speaker 7: I live by.
Speaker 3: That's bad, that's broad.
Speaker 15: Yes, okay, please some words. I live by every single day.
Speaker 15: My Auntie, God rest her soul. Auntie Anne. She was
Speaker 15: the kindest human being you would ever meet. And her
Speaker 15: advice to me was be nice to everyone. Be nice
Speaker 15: to everyone. Be nice to people you don't particularly care about,
Speaker 15: because that's the that's what you should radiate out to people,
Speaker 15: right Be kind to animals, be kind to just be kind.
Speaker 15: And I feel like sometimes kindness might be in short
Speaker 15: supply in our country right now, but if we all
Speaker 15: followed my auntswer at, then we might be better off.
Speaker 3: I think that's a beautiful answer.
Speaker 4: It's ironic that Ronnie asked that question because he's a
Speaker 4: dickhead to everybody, h.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for talking with us. I really
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Secretary of lead.
