Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central, then New York City. In America,
Speaker 1: it's the Shoes and He's the day with with your
Speaker 1: whole the shot. What's everybody? I want the site and
Speaker 1: I'm back. I've wanted the sights and I'm back for
Speaker 1: day two of posting the Daily Show. I thought, I
Speaker 1: thought we covered all the news yesterday, but turns out
Speaker 1: there's more. So let's get to it. Our first story.
Speaker 1: The Oscar nomen nations were announced this morning. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: if you're wondering how they picked the nominees this year,
Speaker 1: they basically just went, let's see who's not gonna slap nobody.
Speaker 1: That's my pick. Now. As usual, there was good news
Speaker 1: and bad news. Good news, Michelle Yo became the first
Speaker 1: Asian woman modinated for Best Actress. But bad news, no
Speaker 1: women were nominated for Best Director. Yeah, but remember they
Speaker 1: gave it to Jane Campion last year, so I guess
Speaker 1: this year they thought I should hold you broad for
Speaker 1: the next fifty years. And personally, I'm a big Woody
Speaker 1: Harrison fan, so I was happy to see some nominations
Speaker 1: for a Triangle of Sadness, Yeah, which is not just
Speaker 1: a good movie, it's also what Mike Pence calls a vagina.
Speaker 1: But speaking of Mike Pence, guess what they just found
Speaker 1: at his house. Yes, classified documents, Yes, him to first
Speaker 1: Trump been by now Mike Pence. You know, at some
Speaker 1: point the FBI is just gonna have to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna close my eyes and count ten. And if
Speaker 1: they are classified documents on this table when I opened them,
Speaker 1: no one gets in trouble. All right, Let's move on
Speaker 1: to news out of Washington, to the biggest crisis the
Speaker 1: country is facing right now. Finally there's something that Republicans
Speaker 1: and Democrats seem united on, and it's this the tailor's
Speaker 1: swift ticket fiasco. Today on Capitol Hill, senators held a
Speaker 1: hearing to examine the lack of competition in the ticketing industry.
Speaker 1: The bipartisan hearing comes in the wake of a technology
Speaker 1: breakdown on the ticket Master website. During the pre sale
Speaker 1: for Taylor Swift's upcoming tour. Super Fans known as Swifties
Speaker 1: faced hours long wait times and website crashes. Just really
Speaker 1: shame on you, ticket Master. Look what you did to
Speaker 1: these emotional young people. Hey, you know what it's about
Speaker 1: time someone held ticket Master accountable, and the Swifties are
Speaker 1: the only ones who can get this done. They're the
Speaker 1: most politically organized group in America. Yeah, it goes Swifties.
Speaker 1: The Teamsters is somewhere away. All the way down the
Speaker 1: list is the Democrats. You know these hearings are so popular.
Speaker 1: I bet Ticketmaster screwed up tickets to that too. You've
Speaker 1: got kids outside crime. I'm just sitting this biggest fun
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see beaton Durban. But ultimately, there's
Speaker 1: only one way to fix this problem. Get rid of
Speaker 1: or online ticket sales go back to waiting online in
Speaker 1: person at the pole. Make people earn that ship like
Speaker 1: we used to. You're not a real fan unless getting
Speaker 1: the ticket gave you hypothermia. Hey I almost lost two
Speaker 1: tones just to see Johnny gil and I'll do it again,
Speaker 1: damn it. And finally, Ticketmaster isn't the only company that
Speaker 1: needs to make some changes. Down in Florida, Disney World
Speaker 1: is bringing one of its most popular rods into the
Speaker 1: present day. Well, a Disney right that many people experienced
Speaker 1: as a kid is no more. Disney World in Florida
Speaker 1: has officially closed Splash Mountain and Disneyland in California will
Speaker 1: be following suit. Flash Mountain features characters from the nineteen
Speaker 1: forty six Disney film Song of the South, which critics
Speaker 1: a portrays racial stereotypes. Splash Mountain will be turned into
Speaker 1: a new ride based on the two thousand nine animated
Speaker 1: film The Princess and the Frog, which features Tiana, Disney's
Speaker 1: first black princess. Yeah, that's right, Disney says it's going
Speaker 1: to get rid of Zippity Douda and turn it into
Speaker 1: a rod about the Princess and the Frog. You know,
Speaker 1: they're just going to keep the song though, Right, They're
Speaker 1: just gonna change. They're just gonna change the lyrics. She's
Speaker 1: a black princess unless she's a black frog. I mean,
Speaker 1: I appreciate the effort from Disney, but you're gonna make
Speaker 1: the black rod the one where we get our hair wet.
Speaker 1: That's just more racist that be call. So for more
Speaker 1: of this controversy, we go to Roy Wood Jr. Who
Speaker 1: was live. Yes, Roy, you're a round zero of this controversy.
Speaker 1: How are people feeling about these changes? Oh? One of
Speaker 1: these changes along overdue all that racism was ruined in
Speaker 1: the simple pleasure of Splash Mountain, which is to fall
Speaker 1: into a job pool of piss. But if you ask me,
Speaker 1: this doesn't go far enough. We need Disney World to
Speaker 1: close more rods like them. Damn mad teacups, close them,
Speaker 1: close them teacups. Why is that right? Racist too? No?
Speaker 1: But when I was eight, I got on that rod
Speaker 1: and threw up on my crush. Ruined stephan His dress
Speaker 1: races pieces all over the place, everywhere you know that rode,
Speaker 1: the teacup be spinning. I was like a vomit sprinkler.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and Stephanie Roy, nobody gives a ship about
Speaker 1: your digestive system. You know, we're just glad Disney is
Speaker 1: trying to remove racism from its part. With all due
Speaker 1: respect one that I disagree. I don't think we should
Speaker 1: be removing the racism from the rods. In fact, we
Speaker 1: should be adding racism. We're on the hell but we
Speaker 1: want to add racism into disney World because Disney World
Speaker 1: might be the only place left in Florida where kids
Speaker 1: can learn about racism. In the last day, we see
Speaker 1: you see what the santist is doing down here. The
Speaker 1: statis taking black history out of the schools, cracking down
Speaker 1: on ap classes. Pretty soon he's gonna ban the word black.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to start saying super gray or dark
Speaker 1: white or something. I see what you're saying. The kids
Speaker 1: come in for the fun, and then we sneak in
Speaker 1: the education. Exactly exactly, that's what we do, sneaking in
Speaker 1: like like you know those bumper cars they gotten tomorrow
Speaker 1: and tomorrow line got the bummer cars, right add some
Speaker 1: cops and they're pulling black people over to teach the
Speaker 1: kids about traffic stocks. What do you mean I was
Speaker 1: driving recklessly, So this is a bumper car. And don't
Speaker 1: tell me about about my tail life was out there.
Speaker 1: This is your tail light, Mama, Mama, when you know what,
Speaker 1: you might be onto something. Roy I'm telling you, Wanda,
Speaker 1: we put a little racism into these rides. The kids
Speaker 1: are gonna learn. And you know what you don't know.
Speaker 1: You know how they do that. They do that parade
Speaker 1: down that dish and all the Disney characters and it's
Speaker 1: fun for everybody. Set the parade and Selma walk Mickey
Speaker 1: Mouse in them across that Edmund Pettis Bridge with buzz
Speaker 1: light yell on the other side, waiting to beat. They
Speaker 1: asked this to intend and beyond that's better than any textbook.
Speaker 1: Damn Roy, I mean that this is getting a little harsh.
Speaker 1: One they've done to us was harsh. Wanda. I'm being fair.
Speaker 1: How about this? You know what? You know what? You know?
Speaker 1: They got Main Street USA down there right, it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful collection of shops and successful businesses and they're bustling
Speaker 1: and doing well. And oh, I see where this is going.
Speaker 1: Bomb that ship, just like they did black Ball Street
Speaker 1: and Tulsa. People need to know the truth about this ship, Wanda.
Speaker 1: I think bothering people is a bit much for an
Speaker 1: amusement part. You're entitled to your opinion. Last ideal. That's
Speaker 1: ideal Epcot Center. Epcot Center should be whites only. What's
Speaker 1: that gonna teach them? We wanna teach nothing. Epcot just
Speaker 1: born and hell, and I don't want to go. She's
Speaker 1: a big gass golf ball with the elevator. Listen, Wonder,
Speaker 1: I gotta roll. I'm up next to the teacups and
Speaker 1: I got something to prove. Stephanie, if you're watching this,
Speaker 1: my stomach is strong. I'm a man now. I can
Speaker 1: eat this food and still right the ride. I won't
Speaker 1: bother it on your Stephanie, please hip again. See all right,
Speaker 1: we talk five? What's out? What's going? Oh with the
Speaker 1: George Santos and his lining? Yeah, welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Dawn Show. Hell, it's been a bad week for George Santos, or,
Speaker 1: as he calls it, a good week. He's already been
Speaker 1: caught like fifty lives. He lot about his career, a
Speaker 1: lot about his name, a lot about running a pet charity,
Speaker 1: and now he's getting caught in a new lie. According
Speaker 1: to an ex friend of George Santos is from Brazil,
Speaker 1: The openly gay New York congressman used to perform in
Speaker 1: drag back in the day, and even at his own
Speaker 1: drag queen persona named Katara Photos and v D a
Speaker 1: repeal that Santos performed and dragged several times over at
Speaker 1: least three years, despite his claim that it was something
Speaker 1: he did just once for fun. Were you ever? Were
Speaker 1: you ever dragged Brazil? I was not a drag queen
Speaker 1: in Brazil, Guys. I was young and I had fun
Speaker 1: at a festival. Sue me for having a life. Sue
Speaker 1: me for having a life. No, man, we should sue
Speaker 1: you for lying. You know. But but the drag queen
Speaker 1: part is pretty cool. I like Katara Qatara, you stay.
Speaker 1: George Santos sat away. Now, with all these laws, it's
Speaker 1: no surprise that fIF of New Yorkers want him to resign.
Speaker 1: But that does raise the question, how could it only
Speaker 1: be fifty nine for six? Who are the people who
Speaker 1: don't want him to resign? Well, lucky for us, they
Speaker 1: just released the name. You've probably been hearing a lot
Speaker 1: in the media about our new Congressman George Santos, but
Speaker 1: now it's time that you hear from us that people
Speaker 1: have voted for him. We here in New York's third
Speaker 1: District voted for Congressman Santos because he's a fighter, and
Speaker 1: not just as a politician, but as a boxer who
Speaker 1: beat Muhammad Ali in nineteen seventy two. It's a great fight.
Speaker 1: Made I stand with George Santos because when my apartment
Speaker 1: building was collapsing, he held it up with one arm.
Speaker 1: I support George Santos because, simply put, he's a war hero.
Speaker 1: We're also invent at the window. I'm voting for Santos
Speaker 1: because he cares about seniors, and as an eighty seven
Speaker 1: year old woman, that's important to me. I stand with
Speaker 1: the brother George Santos, because he invented the cure for COVID.
Speaker 1: Just wish he had darned it before I died from it.
Speaker 1: I stand with Santos. Yep, even me Academy Award winner
Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman as a Christian woman who's never had sex.
Speaker 1: Because I'm saving myself for a marriage. I know George
Speaker 1: Santos shares my values. Why do why I support George
Speaker 1: Santos because we're both out leave Jewish ju I stand
Speaker 1: with George Santos. Now watch meat this meat ball sandwich.
Speaker 1: I stand with George Santos. Who's Who's Anthony devld I
Speaker 1: stand with Anthony Santo stavalder did George Santos? I stand
Speaker 1: with George Santos. I stand with George christ Anthony de Vito, George,
Speaker 1: Michael John Stame, Stamos, whatever his name may be. I'm
Speaker 1: with I'm with her, I'm with name. I'm Rick. I
Speaker 1: want to say Rick. I stand with Rick. Don't know
Speaker 1: who he is paid for? With money you sent to
Speaker 1: a don dog copa all right spent? So because when
Speaker 1: we come back, comins catapolit will be joining me on
Speaker 1: the show, So don't go away. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Daily Show. My guest Tonight is an award winning columnist
Speaker 1: for the Nation. She's written a number of books, including
Speaker 1: pro Reclaiming abortion Rights. She's here to talk about abortion
Speaker 1: politics and the fight for women's rights. Please welcome, cath Apology.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here. Oh, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for having me one. So, you've been in
Speaker 1: a abortion rice advocate for you know, decades, and it
Speaker 1: seems like we keep having this same debate for like
Speaker 1: over fifty years. So how has is it changed any
Speaker 1: or is it the same conversation? That question makes me
Speaker 1: feel very old. But um, I think the conversation has
Speaker 1: been stuck in in several ways. And one way I
Speaker 1: want to mention is that a lot of people have
Speaker 1: voted anti abortion legislation because they thought it would never happen,
Speaker 1: so they would vote in state legislatures for these wild things,
Speaker 1: thinking well, Row is there, it's not going to be
Speaker 1: so crazy. But now it is, so they're thinking, oh
Speaker 1: my god, what have I done? At least some of
Speaker 1: them are. Um. But I think the other thing is
Speaker 1: that Dobbs, which the which overthrew Row, has woken up
Speaker 1: pro choices in the most and women who maybe didn't
Speaker 1: know they were pro choice in the most amay thing way.
Speaker 1: It was very important in the last election in several races,
Speaker 1: um an abortion writes one in the election, Yes it did.
Speaker 1: And and what's what's especially interesting is that there were
Speaker 1: six states in which there was anti abortion stuff on
Speaker 1: the ballot. It went down in every case, including in Kansas,
Speaker 1: in in very very red Kansas and very very red Kentucky.
Speaker 1: So that tells you something. It tells you people aren't
Speaker 1: really down with the idea of banning all abortion and
Speaker 1: making women suffer. It's interesting what you said at first
Speaker 1: is like they didn't really want it to happen at first.
Speaker 1: It was just kind of like performative. It was just like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's put this out there and it'll it'll draw the
Speaker 1: other people in to vote for us, so we can
Speaker 1: pass more things. That's like about like taxes and stuff.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly it is, Uh, it's like a signal that
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a good Christian um. But in real
Speaker 1: life it's served other purposes as well. Um of just
Speaker 1: being very very reactionary on a whole range of issues.
Speaker 1: And now in the terminology that they use Um. It's
Speaker 1: it's like scare tact. It's like you know, like like
Speaker 1: partial birth abortion and uh abortion doctors. Like, no, no
Speaker 1: one goes to college and go you know what you're
Speaker 1: gonna be. I'm gonna be a cardialogist. What you're doing? Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we work with feet. What
Speaker 1: about you? Abortion? That's all I'm doing, just the bushes.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no such things like an abortion. They
Speaker 1: used to they used to call them abortionists. So that's
Speaker 1: like really not a real doctor. You don't want to
Speaker 1: go to an abortionist. Abortion doctor is a demeaning term.
Speaker 1: Um O b g y an the good term um.
Speaker 1: Providing care for women is a good way. That's a
Speaker 1: good way to put it. Um. And it's it's all
Speaker 1: intended to make it seem as though abortion is not
Speaker 1: part of healthcare. And the very important thing that everybody
Speaker 1: has to think about is abortion is part of healthcare. Absolutely. No,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're saying that to hear that young women
Speaker 1: are are active and they're voting because we need them,
Speaker 1: because you know, the House majority of Leader Steve Scalise
Speaker 1: said that Rose reversal, and this is the quote he
Speaker 1: said only the first phase in the battle. Now the
Speaker 1: next phase begins, like what is that next phase? What
Speaker 1: you know? What what do you think there that means?
Speaker 1: I think it means contraception, going after a contraception um
Speaker 1: that you know, there are there are right to life
Speaker 1: us who believe that the birth control pill is what
Speaker 1: they call a chemical abortion. Uh. They think the morning
Speaker 1: after pill is which you can which you take to
Speaker 1: prevent a pregnancy, is actually an abortion. They think the
Speaker 1: I U D Is an abortion. It's like it's in
Speaker 1: there is performing abortions every day. They they they have
Speaker 1: their own they have their own facts. And I think
Speaker 1: that we're already seeing that contraception which should be part
Speaker 1: of the you know, if you're against abortion, you should
Speaker 1: be in favor of contraception because that will prevent right um.
Speaker 1: But but we're already seeing moves to make contraception harder
Speaker 1: to get. So these they have no idea how a
Speaker 1: woman's body works. That's science, that's so true. There was
Speaker 1: recently a state legislator UM in a very red state
Speaker 1: of Idaho or Utah. I think and he said, I
Speaker 1: raised cattle, I know all about what goes on, and
Speaker 1: I've walked behind cows and I'm thinking, so you've looked
Speaker 1: up the cows behind and you think you understand what
Speaker 1: happens with women. I mean, how crazy? Is that terrifying?
Speaker 1: It's terrifying. It is it is so it's such a
Speaker 1: polarizing issue. Um, how how do we change minds? How
Speaker 1: do we you know? Sway them? Or is it education?
Speaker 1: Or is it is it like a personal experience? What
Speaker 1: what is it? Well? I think it's all those things.
Speaker 1: I think I think personal experience. If people know someone
Speaker 1: who's had an abortion, they start to think differently. And
Speaker 1: there's actually a sociological study that shows this by a
Speaker 1: sociologist named Sarah cowan Um who found out that even
Speaker 1: very very anti abortion people, if it's someone in their family,
Speaker 1: if it's a friend, feel be kind um. A lot
Speaker 1: of the time. They might even drive that person to
Speaker 1: the clinic um, even if they think it's the wrong
Speaker 1: thing to do, because they can relate on a human
Speaker 1: level to difficult situations that women who have abortions are
Speaker 1: often in, involving poverty and abuse and health problems, all
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, and having other things that they really
Speaker 1: want to do in their life, like hold a job,
Speaker 1: go to college all that. Um, so people are not
Speaker 1: as evil as they see they see. If people are
Speaker 1: not as evil as they see, and that's my mantra,
Speaker 1: that's that's a good man. I hope you. I hope
Speaker 1: you are Um like you, you mentioned poverty, isn't isn't
Speaker 1: that who is going to affect and hurt the most? Yes,
Speaker 1: this is so terrible that people don't know this that
Speaker 1: when I was on tour from my book, I found
Speaker 1: the two most important things to tell people that really
Speaker 1: I think, do have power to affect how people think.
Speaker 1: Is this. One is that about half the women who
Speaker 1: have abortions are poor. There they live out or below
Speaker 1: the poverty level. That's and that shows you how difficult
Speaker 1: their lives are. The others fascinating is that six of
Speaker 1: women who have abortions are already mothers. So there goes
Speaker 1: the stereotype of oh, she's just a young slought out
Speaker 1: to have fun or she's a child hating career woman.
Speaker 1: Those are the two big stereotypes, but neither of them
Speaker 1: are true and you can you can't explain that to people.
Speaker 1: It's like she has kids and knows enough. Yeah exactly. Yeah, Well, um,
Speaker 1: I think maybe if they like, create an abortion pill
Speaker 1: that also uh maybe uh you know heal's rectile dysfunction
Speaker 1: or something, you know, maybe the two. Yeah, something for
Speaker 1: you will for now. Yeah, the guys will be happy
Speaker 1: about it. Now, you won't have any problem getting access
Speaker 1: to it. I think we need a chemist who gets
Speaker 1: to work on that right away, exactly. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for being here. Thank you. We're playing on doors
Speaker 1: rights available now. Okay, we're gonna take a point break.
