Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central coming to you from New
Speaker 1: York City, Please the city in America. It's the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: Any Alex Jones has today the series finale of the
Speaker 1: January six. Here in quintessis window. He's the Daily Show
Speaker 1: with Trevor. What's on, everybody, Welcome to the Handy Shot. Trevor,
Speaker 1: Thank you show much for shooting in. Thank you for
Speaker 1: coming out in Preston, Thank you so much, Thank you
Speaker 1: so much, thank you so much. What's up? And I
Speaker 1: gonna take a seat. Everybody, take a seed. We've got
Speaker 1: a great show for you tonight. Inflation, pistol, inflating. We
Speaker 1: have some never before seeing footage of the work being
Speaker 1: done by Trump's special Master, and Alex Jones needs to
Speaker 1: borrow a few bucks, so let's do these people. Let's
Speaker 1: come straight into today's headlines. Alright, alright, folks, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest with all the news that happened today. I
Speaker 1: just don't think we have enough space in today's show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know. I I tried everything to fit
Speaker 1: it in. I even tried to unscrew the legs and
Speaker 1: then take off the cushions and turn the new sideways
Speaker 1: so it would fit. But it just it didn't work,
Speaker 1: and there's not enough time. Luckily, not enough time. It's
Speaker 1: just enough time for a segment week call, and nobody
Speaker 1: got time for that. All right, let's kick things off
Speaker 1: with some news about the U. S economy. Remember how
Speaker 1: the Fed raised interest rates a thousand times in the
Speaker 1: last week to try and stop inflation. Well, it turns
Speaker 1: out it didn't work. Breaking news on the economy. Inflation
Speaker 1: shows no signs of slowing down. The last inflation report
Speaker 1: before the med term elections. Take a look at him
Speaker 1: of these numbers shows that prices rose eight point two
Speaker 1: between September and September. Gasoline prices up more than eighteen
Speaker 1: percent from last year, Food prices still up eleven percent,
Speaker 1: Turkey up from this time last year, eggs up, butter,
Speaker 1: and then look at the little candy corn graphic. Halloween
Speaker 1: candy up a whopping thirty four across the board. That's right, people,
Speaker 1: Halloween candy. What they say it like, it's necessary to live.
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do without it? Once again, inflation
Speaker 1: numbers are out and prices are still going up, affecting
Speaker 1: everything from gas to Halloween candy. Not only that raizor
Speaker 1: blades up. Now one of my supposes to put in
Speaker 1: the candy. How do I live? I will say, increase
Speaker 1: in candy. That is a lot. It's so expensive. Parents
Speaker 1: are gonna start encourage their kids to get into strange vans,
Speaker 1: you know, just like look, look, Timmy, the stranger says
Speaker 1: he's got free candy in and in this economy, you've
Speaker 1: gotta take a shot. Boddy, we gotta do it. You
Speaker 1: gotta air tag. I'll find you're thinking all this, all
Speaker 1: this inflation is just not sustainable, right because because here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Inflation is a lot like masturbation. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have a little bit as completely natural, but once
Speaker 1: you start noticing it in restaurants and card dealerships, things
Speaker 1: have gotten out of hands. And look, if we had
Speaker 1: more time, we could talk about the Federal Reserve and
Speaker 1: and and it looks like how they're gonna keep raising
Speaker 1: interest rates to try and curb this rampant inflation, because
Speaker 1: that's basically the only tool that they have. The problem
Speaker 1: is raising interest rates takes so long to filter through
Speaker 1: the economy that this could be too much raising interest
Speaker 1: rates and we just don't know it yet. In some ways,
Speaker 1: raising interest rates is a lot like taking mushrooms. Right,
Speaker 1: he take some, nothing happens, So he takes some more,
Speaker 1: nothing happens. Then you finished the whole box. And because
Speaker 1: this stuff clearly he doesn't work. What oh, I just
Speaker 1: met him. God him, He's a gorilla. The time for this,
Speaker 1: because all everyone's bills are going up. One of the
Speaker 1: worst people of all time just got the biggest bill
Speaker 1: of all time. Tonight the stunning verdict conspiracy theorists Alex
Speaker 1: Jones ordered to pay nearly a billion dollars for spreading
Speaker 1: falsehoods about the Sandy Park shooting. Jones was not in
Speaker 1: the courtroom for the verdict, but immediately reacted on his
Speaker 1: online show, calling the attorneys for the victims families ambulance
Speaker 1: chasers and mocking the verdict. Seven million, twenty MILLI eight million,
Speaker 1: a million, you get a million, you get a hundred million,
Speaker 1: you got a million? They what a dick? You know.
Speaker 1: I used to watch American movies as a kid, and
Speaker 1: I always thought the bad guys that were in the
Speaker 1: movies were fake. And then I came to this country
Speaker 1: and bad guys are literally in their lay. Like you
Speaker 1: haven't seen the last of me. Ha ha ha, But
Speaker 1: that's right for the faming the parents and the first
Speaker 1: responders of Sandy Hook when he accused them of faking
Speaker 1: the shooting. Alex Jones has been ordered to pay nine
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five million dollars. Yeah, which is a
Speaker 1: huge amount of money. You know, you when even your
Speaker 1: great great grandkids will have to declare bankruptcy. Yeah. He's
Speaker 1: basically a millions of sperms swimming around in these boats,
Speaker 1: and every single one of them is a broke gas
Speaker 1: bit right now, every single one, every single one. And
Speaker 1: by the way, by the way, good xor Alex Jones's
Speaker 1: lawyer trying to get clients after this, you know, like,
Speaker 1: what's your setting point? You know, in my last case,
Speaker 1: the jury awarded a billion dollars. Wow to your client,
Speaker 1: well to a clients. If we had more time, we
Speaker 1: could talk about how Jones's conspiracy theories have only become
Speaker 1: more mainstream since Sandy Hook, and that there's not enough
Speaker 1: billion dollar judgments in the world to change the fact
Speaker 1: that one fifth of Americans think that Sandy Hook might
Speaker 1: have been staged. But we can't get into all of
Speaker 1: that because while Alex Jones's trial is over, Andy Warhol's
Speaker 1: is just beginning. The Supreme Court heard a case today
Speaker 1: involving one of the most famous artists in American history.
Speaker 1: The justices are deciding whether Andy Warhol illegally copied another
Speaker 1: artist's work. There among Andy Warhol's most iconic portraits the
Speaker 1: silk screen images of Prints. The image was based on
Speaker 1: a photographed by Lynn Goldsmith. She sued Warhol's foundation, claiming
Speaker 1: copyright infringement. The Justices did find some lighter moments when
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas revealed his musical tape East's Let's say that
Speaker 1: I'm both a Prince fan, which I was in the
Speaker 1: eighties and no longer. Well only on Thursday night. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: just as Thomas us see you your little freak nasty
Speaker 1: six days a week, it's shapeless black Roads. But then
Speaker 1: Thursday night hits and you got that full Buscher chest
Speaker 1: ep up. And now, yeah, I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people right now might be wondering why Thomas only listens
Speaker 1: to Prince on Thursday nights specifically, But you see, Clarence
Speaker 1: Thomas is an originalist. And it says right there in
Speaker 1: the Constitution Thursday night is night. Yeah, it says it.
Speaker 1: It says it, we always go back. I don't know
Speaker 1: why they put that in there, but they did. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the big question in this case is if Andy Warhol
Speaker 1: simply copied the Prince picture or if he made it
Speaker 1: his own by transforming it. And it just so happens
Speaker 1: that I am not expert. Yeah, so I'm uniquely qualified
Speaker 1: to answer this question. Now, if you compare them and
Speaker 1: you know very closely, you'll see he made it red
Speaker 1: and purple with some squiggly things. I'm sorry, I'm such
Speaker 1: an archey that this is probably going all over your heads.
Speaker 1: The bottom line is, I think it is different than
Speaker 1: the other one. That's what I'm saying. Now. Look now, look,
Speaker 1: if we have the time, we could talk about how
Speaker 1: it's weird that the Supreme Court is the only place
Speaker 1: where you get to be an expert on every single
Speaker 1: issue in the world. It's why, well, actually the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court and Twitter. But we just don't have the time
Speaker 1: for that, because while the Supreme Court is trying to
Speaker 1: decide if certain artists are stealing, it's becoming clear that
Speaker 1: a certain former president definitely is. This morning, a new
Speaker 1: twist in the investigation into former President Trump's alleged mishandling
Speaker 1: of classified documents at his Florida state Trump told people
Speaker 1: to move boxes to his residence at the property after
Speaker 1: advisers received a subpoena in May for any classified documents
Speaker 1: at marl Ago. That witness account was corroborated by security
Speaker 1: camera footage which showed people moving the boxes. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Trump is a legend. Who else gets court committing crimes
Speaker 1: with their own security cameras? Who are you? How are
Speaker 1: you really? You realize you're as this guy's nare Like
Speaker 1: Harry moved those classified documents so I could illegally hide
Speaker 1: them from the FBI. But first, but first, let's all
Speaker 1: wave at that blinking red light and tell that our
Speaker 1: names Donald J. Trump. That J stands for genius. But
Speaker 1: something inspiring about it too, and thick about it. You
Speaker 1: know what, This is actually inspiring because Trump is so
Speaker 1: bad at crime, but he gets away with so much
Speaker 1: of it. It just shows us that we could do
Speaker 1: crime too. He's like the drunk couple of karaoke hearing
Speaker 1: them screeched through don't stop, and even gives you the
Speaker 1: companies to try kiss from a rose. And look, if
Speaker 1: we had a little more time, we could have so
Speaker 1: much fun talking about how Trump has once again helped
Speaker 1: the Justice Department cracked the case against him, or we
Speaker 1: could even get into my personal conspiracy theory that run
Speaker 1: into Sanctus and his people are probably the ones who
Speaker 1: snitched on Trump to get him out of the presidential race.
Speaker 1: But we don't have the time for that because while
Speaker 1: the FBI is investigating Trumps was handling of classified documents,
Speaker 1: Congress is investigating a whole different Trump crime. And today,
Speaker 1: at their final hearing, the January six Committee released never
Speaker 1: before seen footage showing what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: were doing while Trump's mob was outside, asking to have
Speaker 1: an intimate conversation with Mike Pence's neck. And it was
Speaker 1: pretty impressive how they were keeping their cool and trying
Speaker 1: to get stuff done, everything from phoning the Vice president
Speaker 1: to even trying to call in the National Guard. But
Speaker 1: one of the craziest moments was when Nancy Pelosi pointed
Speaker 1: out one really smelly reason the lawmakers might not be
Speaker 1: able to stay in the capital. But we are being
Speaker 1: told very directly, is it's gonna take days for the
Speaker 1: capital be okay. Again, we've gotten a very bad report
Speaker 1: about the condition. I would go to the house floor
Speaker 1: decoration and all that kind of thing as well. I
Speaker 1: just got off because I spent. He had the impression
Speaker 1: for Mitch that Metch wants to get everybody back to
Speaker 1: do it there. I said, well, we're getting at counterpoint.
Speaker 1: That is time to clean up the poopoo that they're
Speaker 1: making all over them literally and figuratively in the capital. Yep,
Speaker 1: you heard that right. It turns out right wing Jamaric
Speaker 1: Choir was shooting for, as Nancy Pelosi put it, poo
Speaker 1: pooing all over the capital. And you know when when
Speaker 1: I when I was watching this happen, I thought to myself,
Speaker 1: it's so interesting how people like Tucker Carlson, we're calling
Speaker 1: black people animals when the George Floyd protests were happening,
Speaker 1: But when these people were literally shifting in the Capital,
Speaker 1: Fox was like, these brave patriots are just expressing their
Speaker 1: frustration and standing up for American democracy. Uh, They're They're
Speaker 1: not the animals. Like I can tell you for a fact,
Speaker 1: even in Minnesota when ship was going down and people
Speaker 1: were rating that target, there was no black man who
Speaker 1: stopped in the middle of all of them. Was like, hey, yo,
Speaker 1: hold up, hold up, hey yo, hold up, hey, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, Black lives Matter. But we don't have the
Speaker 1: time to talk about those moments from the committee because
Speaker 1: the biggest news of the day is that the January
Speaker 1: six Committee has issued a subpoena to speak to the
Speaker 1: chief of poopoo himself. Happening now, the January sixth Selectivity
Speaker 1: punctuates its final hearing before the midterm elections with a bombshell,
Speaker 1: a subpoena for former President Donald Trump. So this afternoon,
Speaker 1: I am offering this resolution that the Committee direct the
Speaker 1: Chairman to issue a subpoena irrelevant documents and testimony under
Speaker 1: oath from Donald John Trump. Oh shit, that's what the
Speaker 1: j stands for. What a poms ow Oh. And also
Speaker 1: the fact that they just subpoenaed a former president of
Speaker 1: the United States, And I mean, how are yeah, finally,
Speaker 1: how are they only deciding on this now? Huh? Only
Speaker 1: now it's like doing a whole murder investigation. And then
Speaker 1: on the last day of being like, should we like
Speaker 1: talk to the murderer, Yeah, he might have said information
Speaker 1: about the murderer. Maybe. Now, even after this came out,
Speaker 1: everyone assumes that Trump is not going to show up
Speaker 1: to testify, But I feel like he's going to be
Speaker 1: a little conflicted. Yeah, because on the one hand, yes,
Speaker 1: he thinks this is a crooked witch hunt that is
Speaker 1: out to get him. But on the other hand, the ratings.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine the ratings. This would be like the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl meets Watergates meets a Game of Thrones meets
Speaker 1: a mandatory HR video about sexual harassment. Everyone who'll be watching,
Speaker 1: everyone will watching, And we all know the only thing
Speaker 1: Donald Trump loves more than ratings is grabbing classified documents
Speaker 1: by the pussy. And look, whether you like Trump or not,
Speaker 1: you've got to admit this dude as a record breaker.
Speaker 1: First president to be to be impeached twice, first president
Speaker 1: to be subpoena for stage in the coup, first president
Speaker 1: to go to prison Maybee, first prison to break I
Speaker 1: don't pres first president to escape to Mexico, first prison
Speaker 1: to be blocked by his own wall and trying to
Speaker 1: escape to Mexican. I Look, if we had the time,
Speaker 1: we could talk about Trump serving time, but unfortunately we don't,
Speaker 1: because it's time for us to take an ad break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Welcome back to the day. Show,
Speaker 1: has we just heard Donald Trump has been battling the
Speaker 1: Justice Department over whether his little hoarding problem with government
Speaker 1: documents has crossed the line into criminality. And if you've
Speaker 1: been following the story, you know the documents that Trump
Speaker 1: took from the White House are currently being reviewed by
Speaker 1: a special Masta. Well, it turns out in an exclusive,
Speaker 1: very real interview, The Daily Show has found out how
Speaker 1: this process is going. My name is Judge Raymond Deary,
Speaker 1: and I am currently the special Master pointed to review
Speaker 1: the files that were in former President Trump's office in
Speaker 1: mar Laga. I've been a judge since I've had many
Speaker 1: great moments in my career. This is a moment. It's fine.
Speaker 1: The first task is dividing the documents into files that
Speaker 1: are classified, files that are declassified, and files that are
Speaker 1: stuffed with cold cuts. The first one I thought was
Speaker 1: just a mistake, But now I think he thought the
Speaker 1: folder are also a type of bread. They're both kind
Speaker 1: of brown. I guess is this where I saw myself
Speaker 1: at age seventy eight sorting through an ex president's personal
Speaker 1: stash of America's most sensitive secrets and is used underwear. No,
Speaker 1: I'd rather be on a beach or or dead dead
Speaker 1: sounds nice. You know, none of this is very organized.
Speaker 1: I mean, here, we've got what appears to be blueprints
Speaker 1: for a nuclear so that should probably go in the
Speaker 1: classified pile. But then you open it up and inside
Speaker 1: is just a copy of the nine three may beaver
Speaker 1: Hunt magazine. But then he opened up beaver Hunt and
Speaker 1: inside is a USB drive. It's property of the CIA
Speaker 1: MS thumb drive holds critical nuclear Oh, it's actually just
Speaker 1: a digital version of beaver Hunt magazine. Well, this is
Speaker 1: can actually be interesting, but I have found some interesting items.
Speaker 1: This is a to do list. It just says President
Speaker 1: mccron's wife. I'm not even trying to understand what. Oh
Speaker 1: I get it. I can't be I'm doing this. I've
Speaker 1: maintained a professional relationship with President Trump in order to
Speaker 1: clarify the nature of the documents, but it can be
Speaker 1: difficult because he is well, in a legal sense, just
Speaker 1: so stupid. Okay, but Mr President, did you declassify this
Speaker 1: list of undercover counter intelligent operatives? If you're the president
Speaker 1: of the United States, you can declass if I just
Speaker 1: by saying it's declass but even by thinking about it. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: how do I know? Have you thought about you know?
Speaker 1: Never mind, the spies are as good as dead anyways.
Speaker 1: I know the country is eager for me to finish,
Speaker 1: but there's just so so much to go through, like piles,
Speaker 1: how dumps of piles of stuff. GODDAMNNA hate this job
Speaker 1: so much. This is hell, I mean, miserable, agonizing, unyielding hell.
Speaker 1: But at least I get a free lunch yea putting
Speaker 1: lock special Mark. Alright, stay tuned because when we come back,
Speaker 1: one of the stars of the new Black Adam movie,
Speaker 1: Quintessa Fundel, will be joining me on the show, So
Speaker 1: don't go away. Welcome back to the Day Show. My
Speaker 1: guest tonight there's an actors who stars as Cyclone in
Speaker 1: the new superhero film Black Adam, which will premiere in
Speaker 1: Theences nationwide October one. Please welcome Quintessa Fundel. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Day Show. Thank you man. It's a pleasure to
Speaker 1: be here. Pres have you here? You know, um, you're
Speaker 1: in this movie and one of the people who is
Speaker 1: your co stars, MoMA, is a comedian who've been friends
Speaker 1: with for a very long time, and so he sent
Speaker 1: me a random message. You're just like yo, queues coming
Speaker 1: to your show and gave me no other information. When
Speaker 1: who Who's que? How que I? I don't And then
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, which que and then he's like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean which cute? The only que I work?
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I don't keep And now you're here,
Speaker 1: so welcome que it is you. If you don't know,
Speaker 1: now you know. Trusting stars. Thank you, congratulations on the
Speaker 1: journey you've had. I mean people have seen you on Euphoria,
Speaker 1: people have seen you on the Netflix show Trinkets, and
Speaker 1: now to be in the d C film Black Adam
Speaker 1: with the Rock, I mean this is huge. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's It's absolutely incredible. It's been a dream. I feel
Speaker 1: like I haven't been working very long, but I've been
Speaker 1: able to work with some truly incredible people in this industry,
Speaker 1: pierce out the like no, uh no, mar Juan Sarah
Speaker 1: DJ It's been truly incredible. I like that you get
Speaker 1: to call him DJ. No no, no, I mean, don't
Speaker 1: be sorry. That's just like those are like the dj Q.
Speaker 1: I'm learning. Um, you know you listed those names and
Speaker 1: every single one of them has created a piece of
Speaker 1: a franchise or they've been part of a franchise, and
Speaker 1: there's so much pressure that comes with that. But what
Speaker 1: you're doing is really unique and that you were playing
Speaker 1: a character in this movie that we haven't seen in
Speaker 1: a movie before, and that's Cyclone. And often times people
Speaker 1: get to play a character that they've seen, they grew
Speaker 1: up what they saw. Sometimes it takes the pressure off.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it has a different pressure in this case, how
Speaker 1: do you feel was it was it? Was it liberating
Speaker 1: to just set the tone or well, you're a little
Speaker 1: nervous that this is a Cyclone? Is what you make
Speaker 1: of it? Well? I think it's a little bit of both.
Speaker 1: I think, like with what you said, Cyclone has become
Speaker 1: such a like an important person and an important character
Speaker 1: in my life, and she's formed so much of like
Speaker 1: how I enter spaces now and how I embrace myself more.
Speaker 1: Um So, there wasn't like any pressure other than to
Speaker 1: just like be my most like authentic self and embrace
Speaker 1: myself and trust more honestly. So, yeah, yeah, at least
Speaker 1: have you have you ever struggled with that? Because you
Speaker 1: you give off this air, you know, in every interview
Speaker 1: that you do, every every every screening, every vibe, you
Speaker 1: give off this energy of just being comfortable in who
Speaker 1: you are. I mean when the news came out, you
Speaker 1: know that d C was celebrating the fact that you
Speaker 1: were the first known non binary person playing a character
Speaker 1: in this universe. Even that you just you just seem
Speaker 1: to just carry with you and you're like, Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is who I am, this is I'm living my life.
Speaker 1: Like where do you get that swag from? I'd love
Speaker 1: to know, No, I mean, it's it's taken like quite
Speaker 1: a bit of time to like embrace that part of myself.
Speaker 1: I feel like so much of my life I've always
Speaker 1: been searching, um for who I am, my identity, my family,
Speaker 1: my friends, every thing. And I'm, like I said in
Speaker 1: the beginning, like I've been so lucky to have representations
Speaker 1: of who I want to be each step of the way,
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, whether it's the people that I'm
Speaker 1: working with or just the people that have been able
Speaker 1: to meet who have helped me cultivate who I am
Speaker 1: and embrace who I am. And as far as like
Speaker 1: being the first known non binary person, I think that's
Speaker 1: so important. You said that because there could be other
Speaker 1: non binary people who are questioning trans people who aren't
Speaker 1: fully out yet. And for me being able to be
Speaker 1: fully out hopefully can serve as representation for other people
Speaker 1: to embrace who they are and step into themselves because yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I love it because I love it because
Speaker 1: in many ways, all superhero stories are an allegory for
Speaker 1: that journey. You know, it's it's the journey of somebody
Speaker 1: possessing two identities. It's the journey of somebody being you know,
Speaker 1: being one person to the people who know them, and
Speaker 1: then being somebody completely different in being their true selves.
Speaker 1: I would love to know what do you think you
Speaker 1: learned about the idea of like what being a hero is? Okay,
Speaker 1: such a good question. Um, I mean I feel like
Speaker 1: for me it shifted because you you begin to question
Speaker 1: what you've been indoctrinated to believe. For me personally, it's
Speaker 1: how as a Western society do we view justice and
Speaker 1: do we have the power to go elsewhere and rid
Speaker 1: a problem? Just like in Black Adam, you know, we're
Speaker 1: telling him to be a hero, but he's already a
Speaker 1: hero for his people. And I think in today's society
Speaker 1: and in this world, we see that so often people
Speaker 1: rising up and people being able to choose who their
Speaker 1: leaders are, and for me that made me question that
Speaker 1: as well. You know, and and learn more and learned
Speaker 1: about what's happening in the world today and be curious
Speaker 1: and be an advocate of that. So I love it.
Speaker 1: You crushed it, you crushed and everything that you do.
Speaker 1: And I'm so excited to see the phone. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for being on the show. Thank you. It's
Speaker 1: such a play. Tennis win doll everybody. We're gonna take
Speaker 1: a quick break, so we're right back off the fort
Speaker 1: were right, Well, I thought, suck. It's to night. Watch
