Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. President Biden came out and
Speaker 1: he signed an executive order today, a cryptocurrency executive order,
Speaker 1: where he has ordered that the United States investigates cryptocurrency
Speaker 1: and figure out if it should be regulated, or if
Speaker 1: America should create its own cryptocurrency, or like what a
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency is? Yeah, and this is where you realize how
Speaker 1: crazy cryptocurrency is. Normally, executive orders are like ban all Muslims,
Speaker 1: change the economy, send money to people, and then with cryptocurrencies, like,
Speaker 1: let's find out what like this thing is? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: should we do? It's coming to you from the heart
Speaker 1: of Times where in New York City, the only city
Speaker 1: in America. It's The Daily Show. Here's edition tonight, Kim
Speaker 1: Clardashian's career advice once an hour Sandrow. This is The
Speaker 1: Daily Show with Trevor no Okay, what's going on? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah and joining
Speaker 1: me for today's headlines is the one and only dais.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Day doing? Yeah, I'm great, I'm great. Hey,
Speaker 1: Happy International Women's Day, right, right? I mean yesterday? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean technically it was a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: but I like to celebrate it the way I celebrate
Speaker 1: my birthday all week long. I like that. And you
Speaker 1: know what, you deserve it just as long as you
Speaker 1: want to celebrate it for thank you, I'm going to
Speaker 1: write it out. I like that, Okay. I mean your
Speaker 1: birthday is only on one day though, that's different well
Speaker 1: for you, but I celebrate for the entire week top
Speaker 1: to bottom. You'll see in June, I hope not. But yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, happy birthday, thank you. All right, let's jump
Speaker 1: straight into today's headlines. We kick things off with the
Speaker 1: Russian invasion of Ukraine, or as Prince William calls it,
Speaker 1: the brown thing happening to white people war. Today, Ussia
Speaker 1: and Ukraine hold their first high level peace talks. But
Speaker 1: please do not get your hopes up. Not only did
Speaker 1: Russia not agree to end the war, it wouldn't even
Speaker 1: admit that it started a war. Yeah. Russia's Foreign minister
Speaker 1: Sergei Lavrov was asked if they planned to invade any
Speaker 1: other countries, and his answer was, quote, we are not
Speaker 1: planning to attack other countries and we did not attack
Speaker 1: Ukraine end quote, which is obviously a lie. And it's
Speaker 1: also not reassuring for the rest of Europe. Yeah, now
Speaker 1: we're not attacking Poland. Now we're not attacking Paris. Now
Speaker 1: we're not taking over the world. What do you guys
Speaker 1: complaining about? And by the way, just by the way,
Speaker 1: if Lavrov is denying that Russia is attacking Ukraine, then
Speaker 1: what's he attending peace talks for? Huh? What he wants
Speaker 1: Ukraine to stop blowing up Russian missiles with their maternity
Speaker 1: wards got out of here, man. So for now, the
Speaker 1: war is unfortunately continuing. And not only is the war continuing,
Speaker 1: it's even spilling over into space. This morning, the International
Speaker 1: Space Station in political crosshairs as Russia retaliates against American sanctions.
Speaker 1: The head of the Russian Space Agency to meet River
Speaker 1: goes In, posting this video on social media threatening to
Speaker 1: abandon American astronaut Mark Vanda high at the station. He's
Speaker 1: supposed to return home on a Russian ship in just
Speaker 1: three weeks. Were goes In also making an ominous threat
Speaker 1: that without Russian help to move the I S S
Speaker 1: away from space junk, the I S S would crash
Speaker 1: into America or other countries. Wow, this is wild. Russia
Speaker 1: is so mad about sanctions that it's threatening to abandon
Speaker 1: an American astronaut in space and allow the International Space
Speaker 1: Station to crash into Earth. And I mean, this is
Speaker 1: obviously a horrible threat to make, but I will admit this.
Speaker 1: I do kind of see Russia's side. I do. I'm
Speaker 1: a four Russia, but I see it. I mean, flying
Speaker 1: someone home from space is a huge favor to do,
Speaker 1: especially for an enemy. You know, It's like picking them
Speaker 1: up from the airport a million times over. And also,
Speaker 1: why did America get this astronaut down before this war escalated?
Speaker 1: They knew he was hitching a right on the Russian thing.
Speaker 1: It's like when you quit a job and then you
Speaker 1: storm out of the office cursing it everyone. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then you realize you left your phone behind. Oh man ship, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that, sir. I didn't realize it was
Speaker 1: still charging. Yeah, but text me about second my You know, people,
Speaker 1: this is exactly why American needs to start some sorts
Speaker 1: of military force to defend space. Think about it, right,
Speaker 1: what they could do is heaven up there defending all
Speaker 1: of space on America's behind. What what's that? Oh? It did?
Speaker 1: And I called it the military's version of University of Phoenix.
Speaker 1: That's funny, but that doesn't sound like something I would say. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that's not me. Dasi would Would you fetch someone stranded
Speaker 1: in space? No? No, never. I won't pick anyone up
Speaker 1: at the airport, not even my husband. My husband's been
Speaker 1: living at LaGuardia for the last three and a half months,
Speaker 1: like that Tom Hanks movie. Sometimes, then mow him for
Speaker 1: a cinnabon, you know, just to keep the sparks alive. Now, also,
Speaker 1: this really approves my point that you have to overpack
Speaker 1: for everything because you never know. People are like, oh,
Speaker 1: don't overpack. It costs more money, it takes it more space. No,
Speaker 1: now you're straining in space and you're gonna want those
Speaker 1: two extra books in your diva cup. I hear you. That.
Speaker 1: Not that my not that my diva cup takes up
Speaker 1: a lot of space. It's a very normal compact item.
Speaker 1: Doesn't take up much space. You know. No, I well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I understand. Do you think you can
Speaker 1: actually use a diva cup in space? Gravity is a
Speaker 1: tricky thing? Huh? How does gravity work work? I'll circle
Speaker 1: that ground? Okay, okay, cool, okay. I've limited experience in
Speaker 1: this field. So you've got that, all right, We're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking more about Russia and Ukraine Latson in the show.
Speaker 1: But let's move on, because it turns out there is
Speaker 1: another terrifying invasion that's in the news right now. Very soon,
Speaker 1: you may be seeing a massive new spider right in
Speaker 1: your own backyard. Now comes the juro spider, native to Asia,
Speaker 1: it was first spotted in Georgia nearly a decade ago.
Speaker 1: They've since spread across the southeast was some using their
Speaker 1: parachute like silks to travel in the wind through. A
Speaker 1: new study at the University of Georgia predicts the juro
Speaker 1: spiders will make their way up the east coast this spring.
Speaker 1: It's unclear how far north they'll go, but they'll be
Speaker 1: hard to miss, growing up to three inches long and
Speaker 1: to end that's as wide as your palm. People are
Speaker 1: going to have to learn to appreciate spiders, because this
Speaker 1: spider isn't going anywhere. Okay, this guy's clearly never met humans, alright,
Speaker 1: Because when we're afraid of something, we don't try and
Speaker 1: learn to appreciate it. We're try and destroy it at
Speaker 1: all costs. That's our humans do. The scientists gonna sit
Speaker 1: there and tell us we need to sit back and
Speaker 1: learn to appreciate spiders. Kind of rational bull ship is
Speaker 1: that pick up a broom and join the fight? You cowered?
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I don't understand nature. Why did it
Speaker 1: feel the need to create something like this? Huh? Spiders
Speaker 1: that have parachutes and fly around. You know, with some
Speaker 1: things you get why they exist, like how plants put
Speaker 1: oxygen into the atmosphere, and how birds evolve into chickens
Speaker 1: so we can make delicious sandwiches. But giant spiders was
Speaker 1: mother nature? Like people's nightmares have become too boring, let's
Speaker 1: spice things up. You can't even kill that thing with
Speaker 1: a regular shoe. Do you see the size you probably need,
Speaker 1: like a shack size shoe. Yeah, so thanks spiders. Now
Speaker 1: I've got to break into Shack's house and steal his
Speaker 1: shoes again. And by the way, if you think a
Speaker 1: giant spider is bad, wait until we see the giant pig.
Speaker 1: The giant spider is gonna become best friends with thinking
Speaker 1: as a disaster, whole is disaster. I don't know why
Speaker 1: everyone isn't panicking. I mean, it's probably because scientists say
Speaker 1: that we actually shouldn't be worried. That's that's what they say.
Speaker 1: These spiders are actually completely harmless to people. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: not even bad for the ecosystem, which actually makes me
Speaker 1: feel a little bit better. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because last night I had a dream that those spiders
Speaker 1: crawled into my ear and they made eggs in my brain.
Speaker 1: And now every every time I keep quiet, I feel
Speaker 1: like I can hear something anyway. Dreams are weird, DESI
Speaker 1: are you? Are you freaked out by spiders? Nah, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of these spiders coming to New York
Speaker 1: at all now, because nothing can be more devastating than
Speaker 1: spider Man on Broadway, like ruptured ear, drums, broken bones,
Speaker 1: bad reviews, terrible. Nothing can be worse than that. Plus,
Speaker 1: I feel like the Manhattan cockroaches have just kind of
Speaker 1: gotten complacent lately with the pandemic, Like they don't even
Speaker 1: scatter when you turn the lights on anymore. I come
Speaker 1: home and turn the lights on and they're like, ah, DESI,
Speaker 1: you're home late, like very confident. So I'm excited about
Speaker 1: these spiders. You have an interesting perspective on life. I
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, yeah, I do. All right, let's move
Speaker 1: away from spiders to someone else who's got America ensnared
Speaker 1: in her web. I'm talking about Kim Kardashian, influenza, business mogul,
Speaker 1: and Instagram's Final Boss. To promote the new Kardashian show
Speaker 1: that's launching on Hulu, Kim and her sisters gave an
Speaker 1: interview to Variety where they talked about their lives and
Speaker 1: their business strategies. But one clip that's gone viral has
Speaker 1: rubbed many people the wrong way. Kim Kardashian has sparked
Speaker 1: outrage among some people after offering women career advice during
Speaker 1: a recent interview with Variety magazine. Here's what she said.
Speaker 1: I have the best advice for women in business. Get
Speaker 1: your ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants
Speaker 1: to work these days. You have to surround yourself with
Speaker 1: people that want to work, no toxic work environments, and
Speaker 1: show up and do the work. Okay, okay, okay. I know.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are piste off at Kim.
Speaker 1: I know, but if I'm being perfectly honest, I can
Speaker 1: see this thing from both sides. I honestly can. Like
Speaker 1: I can see it from from Kim's side. I can
Speaker 1: see it from Kim's side, you know, She's like you
Speaker 1: guys think I just take a few pictures and I
Speaker 1: go to a few events and then suddenly I'm rich
Speaker 1: and famous and you think it's easy. But it's not easy.
Speaker 1: And I understand that. I understand that Kim does a
Speaker 1: lot of work. She grinds all the time. She's a
Speaker 1: shrewd businesswoman, and she's a mom to Kanye and the kids.
Speaker 1: But but part of this idea that people have of
Speaker 1: Kim is Kim's fault. I mean, think about it. For decades,
Speaker 1: the thing that she's sold is not work. Yeah. In fact,
Speaker 1: she works really hard to look like she's not working hard.
Speaker 1: Every photo on Instagram, she's either on a beach, or
Speaker 1: in a pool, or in a hot tub, basically any
Speaker 1: relaxing body of water. She's there, you know. So I
Speaker 1: get why people have the idea that she doesn't work,
Speaker 1: because you don't see it, you know. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe Kim should put that stuff on Instagram, you know,
Speaker 1: put up photos of late night meetings, constant calls on
Speaker 1: product design. I mean, you can still do it in
Speaker 1: a bikini if you want. But the point is. You know,
Speaker 1: people should see more of the work they understand, Like
Speaker 1: take the Rock. He's an example. Look at the Rock
Speaker 1: right because of his social media. I know what it
Speaker 1: takes to become the Rock. I know if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try and become like him, I've got to wake up
Speaker 1: at four am every day, lift every weight in the gym,
Speaker 1: and try not to laugh every time. I have to
Speaker 1: work with Kevin Hart. I mean, you know, he's like
Speaker 1: he's a human, but he's like just says of like
Speaker 1: a little Kevin. I got you, Kevin. He's he's in
Speaker 1: my bucket right now. Damn. But here's the thing that
Speaker 1: maybe Kim Kardashian doesn't understand. It can come off as
Speaker 1: extremely condescending to tell women that the reason they're not
Speaker 1: successful is because they're too lazy to get off their
Speaker 1: asses and actually work, Because yes, Kim Kardashian works hard,
Speaker 1: but you know who else works hard? Most women, But
Speaker 1: what their asses don't have is Kim's luck to be
Speaker 1: born into a rich family with the famous lawyer parents
Speaker 1: and then even more famous limp be in stepparents and
Speaker 1: all the access and the connections that that brings. You
Speaker 1: think about it, if you're lucky. If you're lucky to
Speaker 1: have that, then yeah, there's a good chance that your
Speaker 1: hard work is going to make you successful. But don't
Speaker 1: forget how much luck has to do with that success.
Speaker 1: Anyone who says just work hard and things will work out,
Speaker 1: those people are forgetting a major component known as luck.
Speaker 1: A lot of people work hard and they're still broke.
Speaker 1: In fact, a lot of the time, the broker you are,
Speaker 1: the harder you probably work. Yeah, my grandmother worked ten
Speaker 1: times harder than me. But I'm bowling circles around that woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah you hear that, Gogle. You can't touch me. You
Speaker 1: can't touch me. And by the way, happy birthday, Gog.
Speaker 1: She just turned Yeah she did. So just think about it.
Speaker 1: I get it from everyone's point of view, you know,
Speaker 1: DASI like as a failed Instagram influence of yourself, Like,
Speaker 1: what do you think about this? Well, I'm not so
Speaker 1: much failed as blocked. It's more of a legal issue.
Speaker 1: But we're getting into semantics. I know. I feel like
Speaker 1: for Kim, she didn't really have the time to go
Speaker 1: into the fact that she was born into privilege in
Speaker 1: such an expanded way. So I feel like this was
Speaker 1: her short answer, right, it's the it's the I drink
Speaker 1: a lot of water of the finance world. Like when
Speaker 1: you know celebrities spend thirty hours a week looking as
Speaker 1: gorgeous as they do, and they're like, I drink a
Speaker 1: lot of water. I feel like that's kind of what
Speaker 1: she was doing. Okay, but telling women to work hard
Speaker 1: isn't wrong. I mean that's not bad advice. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's kind of inspiring to me. She's right, I gotta
Speaker 1: get off my ass and stop doing nothing with my life.
Speaker 1: I mean literally nothing. Look at look at me, like
Speaker 1: doing nothing? What am I even doing? I don't think
Speaker 1: you're doing nothing? Do something? No? No? Does you you're
Speaker 1: working here? You do something? Does you have a job.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a job. I'm gonna get it.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a job. You have a job? No,
Speaker 1: I mean like a real job. You can keep me
Speaker 1: on payroll doup. She just said a real job, like
Speaker 1: what we do here isn't wow that that hurts. Good
Speaker 1: luck out there, DESI all right, I wanna take a
Speaker 1: moment to process that pain. And while I do that,
Speaker 1: don't go away, because when we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be looking at the Russian oligarchs who might be the
Speaker 1: key to stopping Putin's war. You don't want to miss its,
Speaker 1: you do have a job. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, America and Europe have been
Speaker 1: trying to find a balance between helping Ukraine whilst also
Speaker 1: avoiding going to war with Russia themselves, because nobody wants
Speaker 1: World War three. I mean other than defense contractors and
Speaker 1: those people who sell merch in the trenches. But one
Speaker 1: of the weapons the West has been using against Russia
Speaker 1: is sanctions, yes, which comes from the Latin sank TiO,
Speaker 1: meaning to mess with someone else's ship. Yeah, whether it's military, diplomatic,
Speaker 1: or financial. The ultimate goal of these sanctions is to
Speaker 1: turn up the pressure on Russia so that it ends
Speaker 1: Ukraine's conservatorship and finally sets it free. And one of
Speaker 1: the most significant sanctions America and Europe have imposed is
Speaker 1: going after oligarchs. Tonight, the US is moving to tighten
Speaker 1: the squeeze on Vladimir Putin and the oligarchs, the richest
Speaker 1: Russians who surround him. The administration, along with Britain and Europe,
Speaker 1: introducing a raft of sanctions targeting rolligarchs, and their families,
Speaker 1: even President Putin. These tough new measures are designed to
Speaker 1: hurt those closest to Putin. Figures who until now have
Speaker 1: seemed untouchable, now clear targets. Britain's threat to the Russian oligarchs.
Speaker 1: Seven of them sanctioned, including Roman Abramovich, the owner of
Speaker 1: the Chelsea football club. That club and no longer self tickets,
Speaker 1: It can't sign new contracts and it cannot be sold.
Speaker 1: Italy sees an oligarch seventy million dollar yachts. French officials
Speaker 1: sees the amore Vero about two eight feet long, with
Speaker 1: multiple V I P sweets and a pool that turns
Speaker 1: into a helipad. Damn, the guy has a boat that
Speaker 1: has a pool that turns into a helipad. Do you
Speaker 1: know how richard person has to be to have a
Speaker 1: mode of transportation that carries another mode of transportation and
Speaker 1: it sits on a body of water while it carries
Speaker 1: a body of water, that's money. I mean, think about
Speaker 1: a pool that turns into a helipad. Wow. The only
Speaker 1: thing better than that would be a pool that stays
Speaker 1: at pool. Yeah. Maybe it's just me, but one of
Speaker 1: my favorite things about relaxing in a pool is not
Speaker 1: worrying if a helicopter is gonna land on me. It's
Speaker 1: part of the pleasure I get. But yes, Europe in
Speaker 1: America are handling putin the way you handle any breakup
Speaker 1: by blocking him and all his friends. And you might
Speaker 1: be wondering, Well, the Oligochs didn't start the war. They're
Speaker 1: not ordering troops to bomb hospitals, so why are they
Speaker 1: being targeted by the sanctions. Well let's find out why
Speaker 1: in another installment of If you don't know, now you know?
Speaker 1: M So first things first, who are the Oligoques? And
Speaker 1: I know oligous sounds like a creature chasing Froto in
Speaker 1: Middle Earth, but it's actually just a fancy term for
Speaker 1: a group of super rich billionaires in Russia. But it's
Speaker 1: how these billionaires got that way that makes them interesting.
Speaker 1: After almost seventy years of Russian communism, where the state
Speaker 1: controlled everything, the Russian people saw huge political and economic
Speaker 1: change practically overnight. For a select few business men, known
Speaker 1: as oligarchs, they managed to rise to the top. Soviet Union,
Speaker 1: all land and all property was owned by the state.
Speaker 1: In the nine nineties, it was privatized and the most
Speaker 1: valuable companies were landed in the hands of these business people,
Speaker 1: mostly oil and gas and mineral companies. Under the Putin era,
Speaker 1: he took some of the assets from the oligarchs who
Speaker 1: had made their money in the nineteen nineties and gave
Speaker 1: them to his friends. A lot of money that this
Speaker 1: his he has basically handed over to oligarchs for for
Speaker 1: safe keeping. They include Urkavalzak, the billionaire chairman of Bank Russia,
Speaker 1: is also the bank's largest shareholder and has been called
Speaker 1: one of Putin's cashiers. Are Katie Rodenberg. He grew up
Speaker 1: alongside Putin in St. Petersburg and for a time was
Speaker 1: Putin's judo sparring partner. You have Gainy prigoz In, a
Speaker 1: secretive oligarch, dubbed Putin's chef because his company oversees catering
Speaker 1: for the Kremlin and other state agencies. Putin's cashier, Putin's chef,
Speaker 1: Putin's dog walker. They call him that because he walks
Speaker 1: Putin's dogs. But yeah, essentially, when the Soviet Union fell
Speaker 1: and communism ended in Russia, a bunch of lucky dudes
Speaker 1: which just handed the keys to entire industries that used
Speaker 1: to be owned by the government and they became super rich. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are the oligous. And when Putin came to power
Speaker 1: a decade later, a new general and of his buddies
Speaker 1: became oligogs too. So clearly it pays to be Putin's friend.
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, you're the one who has us to
Speaker 1: take those shirtless horsepicks. But I mean in the end
Speaker 1: you get an oil company. Yeah, make sure you get
Speaker 1: entire horse and think a lot, so I have options.
Speaker 1: But still, why sanctioned Putin's friends over the war in Ukraine? Well,
Speaker 1: it's because they're Putin's friends, and that means that if
Speaker 1: you maybe maybe make their lives shittier, maybe they'll try
Speaker 1: talk some sense into him. And let's be honest, man,
Speaker 1: that's that's life. Rich people complaining is how ship always
Speaker 1: gets done. That's how colonization happened. Rich people were like,
Speaker 1: my food has no flavor, and two days later the
Speaker 1: British took over India. Now, of course, to sanction these oligogus,
Speaker 1: America and Europe need to access their wealth. That's a question, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you get to all of this
Speaker 1: Russian money? Well, because it turns out none of the
Speaker 1: money is actually in Russia. Polygarchs around the Putin regime
Speaker 1: used Western countries, western banks, and Western jurisdictions as havens
Speaker 1: for the wealth of their steatings from the people of Russia,
Speaker 1: Billions and billions of dollars stolen and then laundered through
Speaker 1: Western banks like Doortsche Bank, laundered through real estate in
Speaker 1: Europe and the United States. Russian oligarchs have long used
Speaker 1: New York City as a place to park their cash,
Speaker 1: in the form of large apartment buildings, often that sit empty.
Speaker 1: Russian oligarchs have as about as much money in financial
Speaker 1: wealth statted in offshore accounts as the entire Russian population
Speaker 1: has in Russia. That is, in many ways, Russia's Achilles
Speaker 1: heel in all of this suddenly, now government suddenly start
Speaker 1: seizing hotels, football teams, yachts, homes. It will certainly get
Speaker 1: the attention of the most powerful people in Russia by
Speaker 1: hitting them where it hurts. That's right, oligarch's own ship everywhere.
Speaker 1: Real estate in New York, oligoque money, sports teams in
Speaker 1: Britain oligoque money. That couch you're sitting on right now, well,
Speaker 1: I mean you bought that, But check between the cushions,
Speaker 1: some rules in there, and look, man, I get why.
Speaker 1: I get why these guys want to buy football teams
Speaker 1: in London, or luxury apartments in New York, or park
Speaker 1: their yachts in Central Pay because, I mean, let's be honest,
Speaker 1: spending money in Russia that isn't as much fun. I mean,
Speaker 1: the young experience is just not the same if you
Speaker 1: have to wear a bathing suit over your fur coat
Speaker 1: and look. For a long time, it didn't matter that
Speaker 1: these bush ballers kept all their wealth in the West.
Speaker 1: But that changed real quick when these sanctions started getting past,
Speaker 1: and now they're all well aware that their assets are
Speaker 1: in bigger danger than Mike Pants at a trump Relly.
Speaker 1: Russian oligarchs are scrambling to secure their assets as the
Speaker 1: US works to in four sanctions against the ultra rich
Speaker 1: surrounding President Vladimir Putin. Here at the Plaza Hotel, a
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar Russian owned apartment is reportedly up for
Speaker 1: sale before it can be It's oligarchs scrambling commercial sized
Speaker 1: aircraft tow safe havens they hope will be beyond the
Speaker 1: reach of US and international law enforcement. They're also moving
Speaker 1: their yachts, tracking data showing many of their largest vessels
Speaker 1: sailing towards the Maldives, where they will be harder to seize. Now,
Speaker 1: as pressure grows on the ultra wealthy, some oligogus are
Speaker 1: starting to call publicly for an end to the war.
Speaker 1: We've counted up to eight billionaires who have spoken publicly,
Speaker 1: which is really unprecedented. This has never happened before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because of these sanctions and because they're afraid of losing stuff,
Speaker 1: a bunch of these oligogs are already speaking out against
Speaker 1: Putin's war. Please, we must think of this war's impact
Speaker 1: on innocent children. That is the name of my yacht,
Speaker 1: Innocent children. She does not deserve this. Police look at her.
Speaker 1: But you can see how spook these oligogs are. Right,
Speaker 1: they're moving their planes, they're sailing out to see, they're
Speaker 1: swallowing condoms full of gold and like, and all of
Speaker 1: this stuff is complicated, but it does seem a little
Speaker 1: counterproductive that these guys have enough warning to take all
Speaker 1: of these measures, don't you think. Yeah, it's like giving
Speaker 1: your teenage son that heads up that a week from now,
Speaker 1: you're gonna look through his Internet history. By the time
Speaker 1: you get there, all you're gonna find is a Google
Speaker 1: search for why isn't there a second Mother's Day? Oh?
Speaker 1: But the real question is will putting pressure on these
Speaker 1: oligarchs be enough to end this war? Well? To help
Speaker 1: answer that, we go to our very own Roy Wood Jr.
Speaker 1: Who is reporting live from international Waters. Roy, what is
Speaker 1: your reporting telling you? You know, Trevor, I've been hearing
Speaker 1: all this noise about how evil and corrupt these oligarchs are.
Speaker 1: But I've been doing some personal investigating, and it turns
Speaker 1: out these aligarts are very decent, kind people. They're just
Speaker 1: good people. Oh more, Caavy are thank you? Oxana? Right right?
Speaker 1: Are you on a super yarch right now? That's right.
Speaker 1: I needed to investigate firsthand. That's why I searched up
Speaker 1: and down this yacht for dirt on these oligarchs. Trevor.
Speaker 1: I looked in the massage Parlors. I looked in the
Speaker 1: cigar lounge. I looked in the casino, then back to
Speaker 1: the massage Parlors. Then I was on the deck checking
Speaker 1: out the Sunrise yoga, then back to the massage Parlors again.
Speaker 1: I keep forgiving what he was talking about. Man, Damn,
Speaker 1: this is a nice ass shot man, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: this much. But Roy, Roy, what's up? Hang? Hang on
Speaker 1: a second, man, Oh, breakfast champagne? Thank you want the ball? Okay, Roy,
Speaker 1: do you see what your journalistic ethics have clearly been compromised? Roy,
Speaker 1: whoever's yours is has bribed you? Bride? How did you
Speaker 1: say to me? Why to slap you with my new
Speaker 1: Guta shoes? I don't want to damage the souls they
Speaker 1: made a seal skin. Wait, this is what do you
Speaker 1: don't understand? They use their money to corrupt everyone around
Speaker 1: them so that they can get away with their evil deeds.
Speaker 1: Oh so now it's evil to build a fortune on
Speaker 1: the back of a murderous regime. Yeah, and I next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna tell me it's evil for them
Speaker 1: to launder dirty money all over the world, driving up
Speaker 1: real estate costs and avoiding taxes that can be used
Speaker 1: to help the Russian people. Yeah. And if I accept
Speaker 1: their dirty money and allow their personal assistant Oxana to
Speaker 1: rub me here, to tone truffle all and return for
Speaker 1: favorable coverage, you're saying that I'm somehow complicit in this
Speaker 1: evil Yes, Roy, damn, I was hoping you would say no, man, listen,
Speaker 1: heavy ship, not to think about better, think about this
Speaker 1: over some Dodo bird wings. Oh yeah, that's Dodo right there.
Speaker 1: That's good Dodo birds. Right. Wait, aren't dodal birds extinct?
Speaker 1: They are? Now? It was worked it. You know what.
Speaker 1: That's enough, Roy, I'm suspending your reported license. Just get
Speaker 1: back to America. Get back to America, roy Alright, we
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break. But when we come back,
Speaker 1: the great Sandro is gonna be joining me on the
Speaker 1: show to talk about Pixars brand new movie. So stay
Speaker 1: tuned in the one the time. That's good, it's Broy.
Speaker 1: You never had Dodo. We got some wooly mammoth down
Speaker 1: there in the freeze and let it fell out. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is Emmy
Speaker 1: nominated actor Sandra. Oh. She easy to talk about starring
Speaker 1: in the new Disney Pixar film Turning Red. I love it, Sandro.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Day Show. Oh, it's good to be here.
Speaker 1: It is so good to have you here, And congratulations
Speaker 1: on being part of I think it's an instant classic. Immediately,
Speaker 1: I really really hope so, I mean, it's an amazing
Speaker 1: thing to be a part of like the Pixar canon.
Speaker 1: It's like crazy, you know what I mean. And then
Speaker 1: it really really unabashedly talks about like puberty, about the
Speaker 1: changing of a young woman's body, about menstruation, and then
Speaker 1: also about like mom, you gotta give some space, so
Speaker 1: you know, playing the mom. It was it was a
Speaker 1: really great thing to kind of lend that voice, my
Speaker 1: little way of voice. It's you know, it's so interesting
Speaker 1: to me how Pixar has found a way to tell
Speaker 1: stories that people are almost afraid to tell in any
Speaker 1: other medium. Now, you know, they Pixars talking about mental health,
Speaker 1: starts talking about life and death, and I was now
Speaker 1: talking here about puberty and in like a very real
Speaker 1: way where I think parents kids. It's almost like Pixars
Speaker 1: taking over the role of you know, the conversations that
Speaker 1: people don't want to have, you know if you have kids, like, oh,
Speaker 1: puberty is coming, let's go to Piel, let's go let's
Speaker 1: have a moment. I think it's like, it's like, so
Speaker 1: my friends who have taken their kids, particularly like eight
Speaker 1: to twelve, who are right before it, uh, they've struck
Speaker 1: up a conversation. My friend she has a you know,
Speaker 1: eight nine year old kid, and he was like, what's
Speaker 1: the pad? I love that? Right? And then she's like, okay,
Speaker 1: he's asking me a question about it. Let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: These what are hormones? Oh my gosh. Someone was telling
Speaker 1: me that they had a conversation with their twelve year
Speaker 1: old or ten year old about metaphor. Mean, so like
Speaker 1: the panda, Like, so basically the main character mainlanly, she's
Speaker 1: like a thirteen year old Chinese Canadian girl right when
Speaker 1: she gets overwhelmed like puberty, that she poofs into this
Speaker 1: giant red panda, right, But the panda is like a
Speaker 1: metaphor for a lot of stuff. So even just to
Speaker 1: have the discussion of what is metaphor? Come on, I
Speaker 1: love that. Is it true that somebody told you I
Speaker 1: think it was an agent, that you should just leave America?
Speaker 1: They're like go home, There's there's no room for you.
Speaker 1: And they weren't saying it to you like get out
Speaker 1: of here. They were saying like, hey, I'll be honest
Speaker 1: with you, an Asian actress man, there's there's no space
Speaker 1: for you in this industry. Yeah, it's like crushing, do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like you're twenty one and
Speaker 1: you have like a certain amount of credits, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, having been born and raised in Canada. At
Speaker 1: that point, I've already done films. I've already done like
Speaker 1: a Liss theater, Yes one Awards, and it just like
Speaker 1: didn't matter at that time. So but we're talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, the mid nineties, right, So it's like again,
Speaker 1: it's like some of the projects that I'm working with,
Speaker 1: it's amazing to age because you get like perspective, right. So,
Speaker 1: like I'm doing like a press tour with Domi. She's
Speaker 1: a Lenny our director, right, and these all these young girls, right,
Speaker 1: Rosalie Chance she's sixteen, My Tramie Ramakrishn and she's like twenty.
Speaker 1: And it's like I feel like so great to go girls,
Speaker 1: you know, welcome and to kind of help him out, right,
Speaker 1: because I'm not saying that everything has changed and we
Speaker 1: can't stop kind of working at you know. I hate
Speaker 1: kind of like the word like diverse storytelling because I
Speaker 1: feel it's like we marginalized, and you know, I sometimes
Speaker 1: sometimes it feels like people use it as like a
Speaker 1: tokenism thing people uses like a pandering. I think of
Speaker 1: it as originality. That's how I think of it. That's
Speaker 1: exactly it. It's like it's at some point stories will
Speaker 1: become the same, okay, and then the more you try
Speaker 1: and braunch out and find new stories to tell, you
Speaker 1: have to find new people to tell those stories with.
Speaker 1: And I find that becomes more interesting that you know, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I totally agree. And the fact that it's also like, uh,
Speaker 1: Sodemmie right that she she she did her Oscar winning
Speaker 1: sharp and then so right, so she was picked up
Speaker 1: by Pixar. I want to say, like out of Sheridan College,
Speaker 1: she's so talented, and then after that then she got
Speaker 1: her shot to do this because they're smart. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Pixar smart. They're like they they the way that they
Speaker 1: consciously make films. It's all about the filmmaker, right, and
Speaker 1: that whole thing about originality uniqueness. It's like, we want
Speaker 1: to grow the storytelling cannon because I feel, you know,
Speaker 1: I get this this question a lot, which is like, oh,
Speaker 1: you work with women a lot, Like you didn't mean
Speaker 1: you look at good women a lot, And it's like,
Speaker 1: it's true, it's true because that's who hires me. By
Speaker 1: the way, so all throughout my career, the majority of
Speaker 1: people who I've worked with regarding like writer, directors, right, women,
Speaker 1: women of color? Right, So what is it? One? Why
Speaker 1: did I Why do I work with them? One? They
Speaker 1: hire me? But two I think now it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: because you know, Shonda Rhymes is writing a characters from
Speaker 1: her perspective as a woman. Phoebe waller Age is writing
Speaker 1: her perspective as a woman. Same with obviously DOMI. She
Speaker 1: and this other movie that I'm coming coming out by
Speaker 1: Irish Shim it's like a young woman's perspective, so she
Speaker 1: wants So that's that's what's interesting because it's like coming
Speaker 1: from a point of view that I'm interested in. They're
Speaker 1: interested in, like, you know, me doing that work for them,
Speaker 1: and so that that's how it worked out so far.
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's working out for the best.
Speaker 1: I mean not really as as a as a viewer.
Speaker 1: As a consumer, I love it. I get to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sad that Killing Eve is coming to
Speaker 1: an end. You know, that's a that's that's been quite
Speaker 1: a journey and you've left your imprint on that. Um
Speaker 1: what are you looking forward to? You know? I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, like I'm sure like many of us this
Speaker 1: time during the pandemic. It makes it really, it really
Speaker 1: brought the thought inward and also at this deeply in
Speaker 1: the midlife part of my life. Um, I think the
Speaker 1: real is the assessment of what is important and what
Speaker 1: I choose to put my time into is becoming more
Speaker 1: and more important. That's like an actor. It's just like
Speaker 1: you just want a job, you just want to work.
Speaker 1: So one of the things that I was able to
Speaker 1: practice after Graze is I'm just gonna sit. I'm going
Speaker 1: to sit and be uncomfortable because the usual desire to
Speaker 1: make a move or to try and get work or
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, which is eventually hopefully, Um,
Speaker 1: the stuff that you have to grow out of. It's hard.
Speaker 1: It's hard, right, So I feel just kind of continuing
Speaker 1: that taking it's not a little break, but like being discerning,
Speaker 1: I love that discerning, enjoying the moment. And yeah, at
Speaker 1: least we get to enjoy all the work that you've
Speaker 1: been doing for the last few years because it's coming
Speaker 1: out now. Thank you so much for joining me on
Speaker 1: the show, and congratulations, congratulations and everything that you've done.
