Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. The Senators voted unanimously to
Speaker 1: permanently stay on daylight savings tide unanimously. People across the
Speaker 1: board obviously it's less to pass the house and every yeah,
Speaker 1: but they were like, no, this is terrible, the clocks
Speaker 1: moving backwards, forwards, backwards, forwards. We just want to stay
Speaker 1: on daylight savings or is the rest of the world
Speaker 1: calls it time? Think about how nobody agrees on anything
Speaker 1: in this country. And the Senate guys, everyone, Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, all of them were like, yeah, we all
Speaker 1: agree on this thing. That is what Because I love
Speaker 1: looking for moments in life where you can find the
Speaker 1: common humanity to know that I hate the clock switching
Speaker 1: to know that Mitch McConnell also shares that hate with
Speaker 1: me as a human being. Do you know how beautiful
Speaker 1: that is? Knowing that there's some mornings I wake up
Speaker 1: and I'm like I look at the clock and I'm like, ah,
Speaker 1: and wherever he is, he's like that guy's gives me hope.
Speaker 1: Coming to you from the heart of times where in
Speaker 1: New York City, the only city in America, it's the
Speaker 1: Daily Show here's edition tonight Daily kid Win, we need
Speaker 1: to talk about kim Ya deep path to It is
Speaker 1: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Let's jump
Speaker 1: straight into today's headlines. We begin with the latest developments
Speaker 1: in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This morning, the prime
Speaker 1: ministers of three European countries, Poland, Slovenia and the Czech
Speaker 1: Republic took the extraordinary step of meeting with Ukrainian leaders
Speaker 1: in Kiev as a sign of Europe's quote unequivocal support, which, guys,
Speaker 1: you gotta admit that's really admirable. I mean, these people
Speaker 1: are having an in person meeting in an active war
Speaker 1: zone a while some of us are too scared to
Speaker 1: go back to the office. Yeah. I mean, we say
Speaker 1: it's about COVID, but it's really about Dave at the
Speaker 1: water cooler. And with the outside world stepping up its
Speaker 1: pressure on Russia, Russia is now fighting back in a
Speaker 1: classic move of I know you are, but what am I.
Speaker 1: Russia has just announced that it is slapping sanctions on
Speaker 1: high profile American targets, including President Biden. White House Press
Speaker 1: Secretary Jen Saki, Hillary Clinton, and Hunter Biden. Yes, Russia
Speaker 1: says that they will no longer be able to travel
Speaker 1: to Russia and any assets that they have in Russia
Speaker 1: have been frozen, which I mean sounds ridiculous, right. I
Speaker 1: doubt any of those people have any assets in Russia,
Speaker 1: especially Joe Biden, and he just keeps all of his
Speaker 1: money hidden behind his nephew's ear who. Now, of course,
Speaker 1: Russia is carrying out a way more serious crackdown on
Speaker 1: its own citizens, with laws in place against protesting the
Speaker 1: war in any way, and some Russians have trying to
Speaker 1: find a loophole, right turning out in public, do not
Speaker 1: protest anything. That's what they've been doing, which is actually
Speaker 1: a pretty clever idea. But it turns out the Russian
Speaker 1: government is not laughing. Meanwhile, in Russia, protesters continue to
Speaker 1: be arrested. According to this video by activists, this woman
Speaker 1: holds up a sign that simply reads two words before
Speaker 1: police take her away. Over fourteen thousand people have been
Speaker 1: arrested for protesting the war in Ukraine's Russian police have
Speaker 1: even detained people for carrying blank signs. Damn. That is
Speaker 1: next level censorship right there. Imagine that even people holding
Speaker 1: up blank signs nothing on it are getting arrested in Russia.
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it. If you see a blank
Speaker 1: sign and you automatically assume people are criticizing you, that's
Speaker 1: your insecurity showing. Yeah, they clearly think they have something
Speaker 1: to be ashamed of. Could let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: If I saw a blank sign, someone just standing outside
Speaker 1: the Daily Show holding a blank sign, yeah, I'll just
Speaker 1: be like, why, yes, I have last weight? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Oh you don't see if I see it. According to reports,
Speaker 1: the Russian government has now arrested over fourteen thousand protesters,
Speaker 1: which may not seem like a huge number, but remember
Speaker 1: this for Russia. We're getting arrested at a protest might
Speaker 1: mean your life is over. Fourteen thousand is a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean to put that in terms putin would appreciate,
Speaker 1: fourteen thousand is like two tables with the people. Moving
Speaker 1: on to economic news. As you know, the entire world
Speaker 1: is facing massive supply chain issues, and with companies unable
Speaker 1: to solve this problem, some are finding a way to
Speaker 1: work around it. Ford Motor Company is taking some drastic
Speaker 1: steps as they deal with the computer chip shortage. They
Speaker 1: will now ship some Explorers without computer chips for the
Speaker 1: rear air conditioning, and he controls the missing semiconductors who
Speaker 1: will be sent to dealers to install within a year.
Speaker 1: It's a way for Ford to get Explorers to customers
Speaker 1: faster during the shortage the a C and he can
Speaker 1: still be controlled from the front seats for it, says,
Speaker 1: customers buying and Explore without the chips will get a
Speaker 1: price production bravo Ford. This is smart, huh. Instead of
Speaker 1: delaying sales because of chip shortages, Ford is just gonna
Speaker 1: give you the car unfinished and then you can install
Speaker 1: the chip later on. I mean essentially, Ford is using
Speaker 1: the same tricks that we use in relationships. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: tell someone when you meet them, Look, I'm not a
Speaker 1: perfect person right now, but if you give me a
Speaker 1: year or two, I'm gonna get my ship together. Now,
Speaker 1: you won't get your ship together. But you made the sale,
Speaker 1: and not for nothing. Not for nothing. But anyone who's
Speaker 1: ever bought in ukn knows the experience of trying to
Speaker 1: get the price knocked down by removing some of the
Speaker 1: bells and whistles. Right. Everyone knows that you try to
Speaker 1: buy a car, and then you're like, can I get
Speaker 1: that out? Can I get that? And the dealer what
Speaker 1: do they always say? There was like, oh, sorry, it
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. It all comes with the package.
Speaker 1: But now we know the truth. Yeah, because suddenly they
Speaker 1: can't get a part, and now they're like, oh no,
Speaker 1: we can remove some features and charge you less. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: all of us are still out here with a retractable
Speaker 1: moon roof when we could have had a few hundred
Speaker 1: dollars in our pocket. Who needs a special opening to
Speaker 1: let the moon in their car? Anyway? In fact, you
Speaker 1: know what, now that we know car manufacturers can do this,
Speaker 1: they should make everything optional on a car. Yeah. If
Speaker 1: I want to save a couple of thousands by not
Speaker 1: having breaks, that should be after me. I'll put the
Speaker 1: brakes in later. See how this ship goes. You know,
Speaker 1: when you think about it, Actually, this makes you realize
Speaker 1: that a lot of the problems we have in society
Speaker 1: on problems we've just gotten used to fancy shits, cause
Speaker 1: not having heat controls in the back that's not a problem.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, you didn't have to worry about
Speaker 1: the chip that controls the temperature in the back seat
Speaker 1: because if you were in the back seat, you had
Speaker 1: no say yeah, which is the way it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, who chooses the temperature in
Speaker 1: the car, the person who pays for the car. Are
Speaker 1: you gonna come in my car and choose your own temperature, Trevor,
Speaker 1: I prefer seventeen degrees yeah, and I prefer people who
Speaker 1: can drive themselves. Shut up, Grandpa, Let's just get you
Speaker 1: to the hospital. I'm joking. He died a long time ago.
Speaker 1: The car is too cold for him. No, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: think about of controlling the temperature. Was was a front
Speaker 1: seat privilege, you know, like choosing the music or deciding
Speaker 1: what to scream at the dude who just stole your
Speaker 1: parking space? What are you that guy? That guy just
Speaker 1: took my spot, You asked Bucket. Hey I got this,
Speaker 1: you asked Bucket. See that's how it's done. And finally,
Speaker 1: let's move on to some entertainment news about country superstar
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton. Not only is she one of the world's
Speaker 1: greatest singer songwriters, she is also one of the world's
Speaker 1: most beloved people. Everyone loves Dolly Parton. Yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 1: even Q and On is like, sure, she eats babies
Speaker 1: like all other celebrities, but only the babies who deserve it.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, Dolly Parton doesn't need all our
Speaker 1: love country music start. Dolly Parton is saying thanks, but
Speaker 1: no thanks to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: she announced that while she's extremely flattered and grateful, she's
Speaker 1: pulling out of this year's nomination. She posted a statement
Speaker 1: on social media saying, I don't feel that I've earned
Speaker 1: that right. I really do not want votes to be
Speaker 1: split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out.
Speaker 1: This is not the first time Partners turned down a
Speaker 1: major honor. Last year, the self described backwoods Barbie asked
Speaker 1: Tennessee lawmakers to drop a bill that would have cemented
Speaker 1: her legacy in statue form at the state's capital. Parton
Speaker 1: also revealed Dahoda and Jenna she declined the Presidential Medal
Speaker 1: of Freedom twice. I don't work for those awards. Would
Speaker 1: be notice, but I'm not sure that you know, um
Speaker 1: that I've been deserved. Wow, I know how Donnie Partner
Speaker 1: is treating these major awards, you know, like there's some
Speaker 1: random dude on the street trying to handle a flyer. Hey,
Speaker 1: can I interest you in the Presidential Medal of Freedom?
Speaker 1: Note thank you not today God bless you, though Honey
Speaker 1: got blessed you. For all those people who said Donny
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, this has just proven you wrong, because turning
Speaker 1: down the rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the
Speaker 1: most rock and roll thing you could do. Dolly's like,
Speaker 1: I don't consider myself rock and roll, and the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame is like, ah, that is so punk rock. Also,
Speaker 1: get why Dolly Parton doesn't want a statue of herself.
Speaker 1: We've seen how celebrity statues can turn out. You think
Speaker 1: it's gonna honor your legacy, but instead it just shows
Speaker 1: what you'd look like if you were left in the
Speaker 1: microwave forty five minutes. But yeah, Dolly Parton doesn't do
Speaker 1: any of this for the awards, which is truly wonderful.
Speaker 1: It says so much about her and I think it
Speaker 1: sets a great example for the rest of us what
Speaker 1: we should aspire for. No, this is why we here
Speaker 1: at the Daily Show honored to present Dolly Parton with
Speaker 1: this special award for the most humbled person in the world. Congratulations, Dolly,
Speaker 1: you did it. Yeah oh man ah. And and by
Speaker 1: the way, this award doesn't just come with the trophy,
Speaker 1: it also comes with twenty seven dollar is from my
Speaker 1: bank accounts. Yes, Unfortunately, dotty partner has refused to accept
Speaker 1: this award, so I'm just going to keep that money
Speaker 1: all right now. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: aren't the only awards coming up a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: from now, all the Oscars, which a lot of people
Speaker 1: are excited about. Yes, but Louis Black is not one
Speaker 1: of those people, as we're about to find out in
Speaker 1: a segment we call back in Black. The Oscars are
Speaker 1: just around the corner that magical night when America's finest
Speaker 1: actors seethed with rage while British people pretending to be
Speaker 1: Americans steal their awards. And if you're not excited about
Speaker 1: the Academy Awards, welcome to the club. They suck. For years,
Speaker 1: the Oscars broadcast has drawn fewer people than the Strip
Speaker 1: aerobics class I teach. It's exercise and it helps me
Speaker 1: unlock my sensuality. So this year the producers are trying
Speaker 1: to get us watching again in ways that range from
Speaker 1: the idiotic to the insane. The producers of the Oscars
Speaker 1: are slimming down the broadcast in an effort to boost
Speaker 1: slumping ratings. Eight awards will now be presented off air,
Speaker 1: including the Oscars for Film Editing, makeup in the hairstyling,
Speaker 1: and music Original Score. The ceremony for those categories will
Speaker 1: begin an hour before the tellcast. The winners will then
Speaker 1: be sprinkled into the three hour broadcast. The President of
Speaker 1: the Academy says the changes are necessary for the future
Speaker 1: success of the Oscars. You can't cut out the men
Speaker 1: and women who work behind the scenes without them on stage,
Speaker 1: the Oscars are just awards for Hollywood's greatest sex criminals.
Speaker 1: How sad is it that the Academy has decided that
Speaker 1: the reason people don't want to watch its awards show
Speaker 1: is that there are too many awards. Recognizing excellence through
Speaker 1: awards is the whole point. Without that, the Oscars are
Speaker 1: totally meaningless. Also with that the Oscars, they're totally meaningless.
Speaker 1: It's especially unfair not the broadcast that makeup and hairstyle Oscars.
Speaker 1: Those people are the backbone of our industry. I have
Speaker 1: a whole team of people working hours to make me
Speaker 1: this beautiful. Now, if people simply don't care about the
Speaker 1: little awards, then sure cutting them will make the show
Speaker 1: more appealing. The problem is nobody cares about the big
Speaker 1: awards either, because they keep nominating movies nobody has seen. Okay,
Speaker 1: I did see the Power of the Dog, but only
Speaker 1: because they tricked me into thinking was a superhero movie.
Speaker 1: If the dog doesn't fly, that's not a power. So
Speaker 1: now the Academy has a real problem. Sure they could
Speaker 1: just nominate movies ordinary people like, but that wouldn't be
Speaker 1: a good idea either, because ordinary people are morons who
Speaker 1: only like dumb movies that don't deserve nominations. So instead,
Speaker 1: they come up with the perfect way dependent the fans
Speaker 1: while also insulting our intelligence, and the Motion Picture Academy
Speaker 1: is looking to get film fans involved. The Hollywood Reporter says,
Speaker 1: this year, folks on Twitter get to vote on their
Speaker 1: favorite movies of last year using the hashtag OSCARS. Fan
Speaker 1: favorite can be any title, so you're not limited just
Speaker 1: to this year's nominated pictures. The movie that gets the
Speaker 1: most fan votes will be recognized during the Oscar Show.
Speaker 1: What a great idea. Let's let Russian bots choose the Oscars.
Speaker 1: They did such a terrific job with our elections. There's
Speaker 1: already a vote for fan favorite. It's called buying a ticket, asshole.
Speaker 1: If the Oscars are so desperate for viewers, there are
Speaker 1: better ways to get eyeballs than cutting categories or polling Twitter.
Speaker 1: How about a halftime show. It works for the super Bowl. Also,
Speaker 1: how about making the stars smash their heads together until
Speaker 1: they get brain damage. It works for the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: But really, we all know what makes the Oscars such
Speaker 1: a drag. Those interminable speeches and clearly playing people off
Speaker 1: with music doesn't do Jack Ship back to you, Trevor,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that, Lewis, when we come back,
Speaker 1: Kim Kanye, Pete's and why It's not fun anymore, don't
Speaker 1: go away. One of the strangest things to try and
Speaker 1: wrap your head around I find, especially in America, is
Speaker 1: when a story stops only applying to the um, not
Speaker 1: the industry that it's in, but sort of like the
Speaker 1: sector that it's in, and when it's when it starts
Speaker 1: affecting everybody or speaking to everybody. You know what I
Speaker 1: mean by that is there are some stories that are
Speaker 1: purely like entertainment. It's tabloid. It is, it is what
Speaker 1: it is. There's some stories that are only sports. There
Speaker 1: are some stories that are only in the world of five.
Speaker 1: But then there are some stories that I feel transcend
Speaker 1: everything and then speak to larger conversations. And I honestly
Speaker 1: think that the Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Pete Davidson's situation
Speaker 1: is turning into that. You know, it started very much
Speaker 1: in the land of tabloid, but I feel it's creeping
Speaker 1: and has crept into a world that more people should
Speaker 1: pay attention to. But not for the reason that you
Speaker 1: may think, you know, for those who don't, For those
Speaker 1: who don't know, Kim Kardashian was married to Kanye West.
Speaker 1: If you don't know that, I really envy your life.
Speaker 1: I want to know how you roll and how you
Speaker 1: avoid all these things. But they were married, they got divorced,
Speaker 1: and over time Kanye has become more and more belligerent
Speaker 1: in how he tries to get Kim back. Like when
Speaker 1: it started, it was it was you know, some would
Speaker 1: say romantic, Oh, I want you back, and you know,
Speaker 1: here are roses and this is my dream, and and
Speaker 1: some people like, okay, it makes sense. You're trying to
Speaker 1: win somebody back. We understand that. But over time it's
Speaker 1: become more and more legerent. And one of the most
Speaker 1: extreme examples was Kanye West putting out a music video.
Speaker 1: Were in the music video, he like, it's acclaimation music video.
Speaker 1: I should say he chops off Pete Davidson's head, And
Speaker 1: I mean, we will understand the stuff. It's like, I
Speaker 1: wish this guy was dead, is what Kanye saying. Now, Kanye,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? To be fair, Kanye says, no,
Speaker 1: this is just art. I don't actually want to hurt him.
Speaker 1: This is just art. Don't judge my art. But here's
Speaker 1: here's the thing. First of all, just like from a
Speaker 1: re perspective, I was sad that now like rappers like
Speaker 1: Claymation and rap beefs are a weird combination. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna It's pretty hard, in my opinion, to be gangster
Speaker 1: with claimation because you have to do like one frame
Speaker 1: at a time. You know, I do understand that art
Speaker 1: can be therapy. I honestly do understand that, right, But
Speaker 1: I also understand that therapy can be therapy. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And what's weird about the situation
Speaker 1: is Kanye West has told us that he struggles with
Speaker 1: his mental health. So I get it, you you want
Speaker 1: to have artist therapy. But here's what's weird that Kanye
Speaker 1: doesn't understand. It's like what we're seeing is it's it's
Speaker 1: it makes you uncomfortable, man, Because here's the thing. Eminem
Speaker 1: was eminent from the beginning. I'm gonna kill my ex wife.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna but it was his stick and we knew
Speaker 1: it was his stick. He wasn't that person with Kanye.
Speaker 1: We don't know how to feel, We don't know how
Speaker 1: to worry, and I think Kanye doesn't seem to understand that.
Speaker 1: He goes leave me to create my art. Yeah, but Kanye,
Speaker 1: you told us you have problems. Now when we worry
Speaker 1: about that, you say we shouldn't worry because it's not
Speaker 1: problems or it is problems, which is it. It puts
Speaker 1: society in a precarious position. And the reason I say
Speaker 1: that is because of his harassment of Kim, which I
Speaker 1: know is crazy to say, because there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people go like Kim Kardashian. She loves publicity, she loves celebrity,
Speaker 1: she loves all of this she does the kardash is
Speaker 1: this is her life, this is her thing. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I get it, But there's also an element of a
Speaker 1: woman saying to her ex, hey, please leave me alone.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Please Eve meet alone. And
Speaker 1: so like this story keeps on escalating. You've got Kanye West,
Speaker 1: who's harassing Kim Kardashian, and then you've got Pete Davidson
Speaker 1: who's now embroiled in the whole thing. And the story
Speaker 1: escalated to a new level when now Pete Davidson leaked
Speaker 1: texts that he sent back and forth with Kanye. He
Speaker 1: sends a selfie to to Kanye West, and Kanye said,
Speaker 1: where are you? And he said, I'm in your wife's bed? Funny, right,
Speaker 1: And we also don't because I mean, we don't know
Speaker 1: what the person is doing. We we know what we
Speaker 1: he's implying. But because of the pandemic, in your bed
Speaker 1: could mean anything, like my bed used to be a
Speaker 1: place for sleep and sex. Now it's also like my
Speaker 1: living room slash meeting area. So in your bed could
Speaker 1: mean anything. But we get what Pete was going with, right,
Speaker 1: We'll get what Pete was going with, going I'm in
Speaker 1: bed with your wife. Then after that there's a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of texts. Ray says, Hey, listen, Kanye, let's talk
Speaker 1: as men. Let me help you with your mental health.
Speaker 1: I was got mental health issues. It was actually that
Speaker 1: part of the message was really beautiful. But I'm sorry
Speaker 1: guys to start a message with I'm in bed with
Speaker 1: your wife and then go like, let me help you
Speaker 1: with your mental health. Yeah, now you've added to the
Speaker 1: mental health of the person that you're trying to help
Speaker 1: them with. Do you get what I'm saying. It's a
Speaker 1: little bit crazy. It's a little bit like roasting somebody
Speaker 1: while you're giving them CPR. And now this thing, it's
Speaker 1: it's spun into a story that seems fully tabloid, but
Speaker 1: I think I think deserves a little more awareness from
Speaker 1: the general public. It's it's because it touches on something
Speaker 1: that is more sensitive and more serious than people would
Speaker 1: like to admit. I know, everyone thinks that's a big
Speaker 1: marketing stunt. Oh, look at the coincidence. Kim is launching
Speaker 1: a new show. Except two things can be true. Kim
Speaker 1: like's publicity. Kim is also being harassed. Those things can
Speaker 1: be happening at the same time, because I'll be honest
Speaker 1: with you what I see from this situation. I see
Speaker 1: a woman who wants to live her life without being
Speaker 1: harassed by an ex boyfriend or an ex husband, or
Speaker 1: an ex anything. You may not feel sorry for Kim,
Speaker 1: you know, because she's rich and famous, because of the
Speaker 1: way she dresses, because she appropriates black culture, because she
Speaker 1: tells women they're lazy, because she broke the Internet and
Speaker 1: then didn't put it back together. Whatever you hate or whatever.
Speaker 1: But but what she's going through is terrifying to watch,
Speaker 1: and it shines a spotlight on what so many women
Speaker 1: go through when they choose to leave. You know, people
Speaker 1: always say that phrase two women. They go like, why
Speaker 1: didn't you leave? Oh, why didn't you leave? Why didn't
Speaker 1: you leave? Yeah, because a lot of women women realize
Speaker 1: when they do leave, the guy will get even crazier.
Speaker 1: And when I say crazy, I don't mean mental health crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's you. You understand what I mean. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. The point is that Kim Kardashian
Speaker 1: and countless other women, they find themselves in a terrible position,
Speaker 1: you know, because asking Kinye to stop clearly isn't helping.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, he hasn't broken any laws,
Speaker 1: you know, so can she get him arrested? No? I
Speaker 1: don't think so, which even want to? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: she spends half her the time helping black people come
Speaker 1: out of jail, so now she can't be throwing Kanye
Speaker 1: West in. It's a bit of a paradox. But still
Speaker 1: she's being harassed, and I get a society like, ha ha,
Speaker 1: you deserve it. This is funny. This is that, and
Speaker 1: I get it also from Kanye side, and like the
Speaker 1: parts of Kanye this, this parts I understand. I understand
Speaker 1: Kanye saying I don't want my daughter on TikTok. I
Speaker 1: get I agree with that part of what he's saying.
Speaker 1: I'm not involved in other people's relationships though, you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's a separate issue. What we're seeing, though,
Speaker 1: is one of the most powerful, one of the richest
Speaker 1: women in the world, unable to get her ex to
Speaker 1: stop texting her, to stop chasing after her, to stop
Speaker 1: harassing or just think about that for a moment. Think
Speaker 1: about how powerful Kim Kardashian is and she can't get
Speaker 1: that to happen. I grew up my whole life in
Speaker 1: an abusive household, right, most of mine, let's say, from
Speaker 1: the age of nine to whatever, sixteen. One of the
Speaker 1: things I found most interesting was how often people told
Speaker 1: my mom that she was overreacting. What I found interesting
Speaker 1: was how many times people told my mom to calm down.
Speaker 1: People told my fa really to calm to everyone, you know,
Speaker 1: and everyone had different reasons. Oh. I remember once we
Speaker 1: went to the police station and they said to my mom, Oh,
Speaker 1: but did you talk back? Is that why you're here?
Speaker 1: You know? You know? Oh, but but what did you
Speaker 1: say to it? It's all these questions, all these questions.
Speaker 1: I remember seeing this as a child, by the way,
Speaker 1: you see this as a child, you know, and you
Speaker 1: see a world where women are questioned for what is
Speaker 1: happening to them, as opposed to people questioning what is
Speaker 1: happening to them. And for years people said this ship, ah, no,
Speaker 1: this are you know this? This, this happens, This happens,
Speaker 1: that happens. There's everyone, police, some family, stranger, whatever it was,
Speaker 1: whatever was, And I'll never forget. One day I got
Speaker 1: a call from my brother saying, hey, Mom has just
Speaker 1: been shot in the head. She's in the hospital now.
Speaker 1: She's just been shot and I'm not saying it to
Speaker 1: make it about me. I'm just saying, maybe that's why
Speaker 1: I look at the story differently. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: is I go, it seems like nothing. And again I'm
Speaker 1: not saying Kanye will please, I'm not saying will not
Speaker 1: saying that. But you see it in all these stories
Speaker 1: where people say we saw it but we didn't. So
Speaker 1: we whether it's the people around him, whether it's the
Speaker 1: people in their lives, whether it's us as society condoning
Speaker 1: or not condoning. And I know it's nuanced. I know
Speaker 1: I'm not saying kind of is just a bad guy, please,
Speaker 1: But just as society know we have to ask us
Speaker 1: alos questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch
Speaker 1: your car crash when we thought we saw it coming,
Speaker 1: or do we at least want to say, hey, slow down,
Speaker 1: let's put let's all put our hazards on because there's
Speaker 1: a storm right now and some ship might go down.
Speaker 1: Let's just let's just put our hands. If it doesn't happen, Hey,
Speaker 1: the worst thing we did was we all had our
Speaker 1: hazards on like idiots. I'm I'll be fine to say
Speaker 1: I was an idiot. Nothing happened. I'd rather be in
Speaker 1: that situation than to be in one way. I say, man,
Speaker 1: I wish we didn't think the whole thing wasn't worth
Speaker 1: looking at. And all I'm saying about the story is,
Speaker 1: if Kim cannot escape this, Kim kardash and if she
Speaker 1: cannot escape this, in what chance to normal women have?
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is
Speaker 1: Dr Deepak Chopra. He's a pioneer in integration of medicine
Speaker 1: and popular spirituality and he's here to talk about his
Speaker 1: latest book about finding prosperity within. Dr Chopra. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Daily Show. Thank you. Abundance The Inner Path to
Speaker 1: Wealth inspired by a lyric from Bob Marley. I love it,
Speaker 1: who said some people are so poor all they have
Speaker 1: is money. I saw someone asked him a question about
Speaker 1: that once in an interview. They said to him, are
Speaker 1: you rich? And he says, what does that mean? My
Speaker 1: rich in friends, and my rich in family, and my
Speaker 1: rich in life and my rich in money? What is rich?
Speaker 1: What is rich? And that lyric inspired me I actually
Speaker 1: to do some scientific research on does money by you joy?
Speaker 1: Does it by your true love? Does it by your intuition, activity, insight, imagination,
Speaker 1: that's by even safety and security and the answers No.
Speaker 1: So money has a role, but it's not everything for
Speaker 1: for the everyday person who's reading this book. What I
Speaker 1: loved about it is you go through parts of the body.
Speaker 1: You see the different chakra as you see, how you
Speaker 1: you tie um yoga poses into you know, the connection
Speaker 1: between the spirits, the body and the mind. I I
Speaker 1: would love to talk about how we as people can
Speaker 1: better connect with an abundance inside of ourselves whilst also
Speaker 1: acknowledging the external factors that affect us. Because many people
Speaker 1: may not be extremely poor, obviously there are many who are,
Speaker 1: but you know there are a lot of people who go, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not extremely poor, but I'm not so
Speaker 1: wealthy that I can't care in life. How do you
Speaker 1: begin to even start this journey of finding an inner
Speaker 1: wealth when you are thinking about your next check? Except
Speaker 1: the word chakra has become very popular, as you know,
Speaker 1: because of yoga. But chakra is just centers of awareness
Speaker 1: that represents the hierarchy of needs. The chakras speak about
Speaker 1: seven levels, so level one's survival and safety level to
Speaker 1: sensuality through the five senses, which is mindfulness. Every experience
Speaker 1: to the senses should be sensuous and vibrant and alive.
Speaker 1: The third is money and abundance. The fourth is love
Speaker 1: and belongingness. The fifth is creative insight, the sixth is
Speaker 1: higher consciousness in terms of insight, imagination, archetypical thinking, and
Speaker 1: the seventh is transcendence. So each of these chakras has
Speaker 1: special modalities to activate them through attention, intention, and transcendence,
Speaker 1: and there are rituals for doing this. People say why rituals.
Speaker 1: They are symbolic representations of our needs and our aspirations.
Speaker 1: What do you think we should be aspiring to ultimately
Speaker 1: to joy? If joy is at the measure of success,
Speaker 1: you're wasted your life. You don't want to end your
Speaker 1: life saying I made all the money in the world.
Speaker 1: You know, was never joyful. You talk about everything you you,
Speaker 1: you study everything you know. I think that's what a
Speaker 1: lot of people enjoy about your work is that it
Speaker 1: is not apart from the world, but it is a
Speaker 1: part of what is happening in the world. Let's talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about what's happening in Ukraine. You know,
Speaker 1: we we we're seeing a situation now where the whole
Speaker 1: world feels like it is at the mercy of a madman.
Speaker 1: And when when I was reading a you know this book,
Speaker 1: I was thinking, these are such fantastic tips on how
Speaker 1: to do whatever you want to do. And then I
Speaker 1: sometimes go, man, what if books like these get into
Speaker 1: the wrong hands? What if the wrong people use your
Speaker 1: books to go, oh, this is how I will actualize
Speaker 1: an evil thing in the world. So when you look
Speaker 1: at something like Vladimir Putin, for instance, you know, is
Speaker 1: he not actualizing everything? Freudian analysis of Vladimir Putin is
Speaker 1: that is a sexually imput in psychopath who's taking his
Speaker 1: rage out through mass murder. He belongs in a cage
Speaker 1: at the Hague ultimately, and the only way, by the
Speaker 1: way he can. There's no military solution to it. One
Speaker 1: solution could be, again a Ghandhian Mandelian solution, if the
Speaker 1: Russians participated in civil disobedience and massive peaceful strikes and
Speaker 1: paralyzed the country. Now they would do it if they
Speaker 1: knew what the facts are. But now he's cut off
Speaker 1: all the media and Twitter and all that. That's in
Speaker 1: the practically speaking, the only way is for the Russians
Speaker 1: to get rid of him. I'm still getting over over
Speaker 1: the fact that you said he is impotent and hes
Speaker 1: a Freudian interpret interpretation. No, Freud was obsessed with the
Speaker 1: first row. Yes, yes, it's an interesting world that you
Speaker 1: know how they all tied together? You you you actually
Speaker 1: tweeted um you know, I think it was two put
Speaker 1: In Essentially you said, comma never loses an address. I said,
Speaker 1: help me understand that though. Does that mean that you
Speaker 1: know bad things will happen to bad people or does
Speaker 1: it mean that maybe in the next life something could happen,
Speaker 1: like when does when does Putin's comma come? It's an
Speaker 1: echo from the past. I have seen very rarely tyrants,
Speaker 1: whether it's Saddam Hossein or it's many of the recent
Speaker 1: people from Libya Kadafi Um or what's his name from
Speaker 1: that country next to yours, don't now, I can't believe
Speaker 1: I forget his name. So many press Robert and and
Speaker 1: the other guy. Do you mean they all had very
Speaker 1: terrible lends, you know, so you never know? So I
Speaker 1: believe in the law of karma. It's an echo from
Speaker 1: the past. Um. One of the issues that you are
Speaker 1: really passionate about is suicide prevention. We we've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of that, a spike, especially in the pandemic your
Speaker 1: foundation works to find. So suicide is the second most
Speaker 1: common cause of death, and among teens, um it is
Speaker 1: every forty second somebody is killing from themselves in the world.
Speaker 1: Last year, more people died from suicide in Japan than
Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen. It's it's the biggest pandemic and our
Speaker 1: humanity is incomplete unless we address it. So we created
Speaker 1: this website called never Loan dot Love, and we have
Speaker 1: a chat bought over the name Pee. We named after
Speaker 1: recording artists who died from suicide. And she is a
Speaker 1: machine and teens love to talk to her because they
Speaker 1: don't feel judged and they're more more comfortable talking to
Speaker 1: a machine that human. Serious, I'm serious, this is the
Speaker 1: world we live in. So she has now de escalated
Speaker 1: about six thousand suicide attempts, eleven million conversations happening through text.
Speaker 1: How do you program that machine? Because it's an AI? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but AI has to be taught by somebody, and
Speaker 1: as we've learned in other tech, AI will have its
Speaker 1: shortcomings because of who so what what? Are you try
Speaker 1: and teach the AI. It's and we should maybe be
Speaker 1: learning it's an ethical AI. And now there are safeguards
Speaker 1: on how to create ethical ais which are not like
Speaker 1: fake videos of fake anything. Yeah, and it's built into
Speaker 1: the system, the ethics. And there's a whole association now
Speaker 1: amongst AI experts that is accelerating the movement of ethical AIS.
Speaker 1: This is going to get even better in the future.
Speaker 1: And of course we always have humans at the back end.
Speaker 1: You have to write Dr jep Chopper, You're a fascinating man.
Speaker 1: You know the chakra AI vladim A Putin. I mean,
Speaker 1: it all comes together with you. Thank you for taking
