Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy centralow.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I'm the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central's.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
America's only sorts for news.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
This is The Daily Show.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
With your host Jasey Line.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Welcome to the Daily Show.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
I'm Sandy Lighting, and I will be your host all
week unless the Supreme Court strikes that down. They love
ruling against women. It's that fun game we play. We
got a great show for you tonight, so let's get
into it. With our ongoing coverage of Indecision twenty four,
(01:02):
let's kick things off with Nikki Haley. She made a
big announcement today, but it wasn't the one we were
all expecting.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Some of you, perhaps a few of you in the media,
came here today to see if I'm dropping out of
the race.
Speaker 7 (01:19):
Well I'm not.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Okay, we'll just wait another week then.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
Do what you want.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
But it's not a good sign for your campaign if
you have to keep announcing that you're not dropping out
of the race. Nikki Haley's campaign has reached the guest
who doesn't know when to leave the party stage. Republican
voters are like, ooh, oh god, I got to wake
up early tomorrow, and Nikki's like, oh.
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Let's start a game of risk.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
And if this speech was supposed to convince people that
she should stay in the race, I'm.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Not really sure it did.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
We've all heard the calls from me to drop out.
The argument is familiar. They say I haven't won a state,
that my path to victory is slim. They point to
the primary polls and say, I'm only delaying the inevitable.
Why keep fighting when the battle was apparently over after Iowa.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
She's making a really good case against herself. They say
my campaign is making everyone sad, that I'm a born
loser whose own mother wouldn't vote for her. They claim
I have a fourteen percent on Rotten Tomatoes and I'm.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
Not even a movie anyway. What were we talking about?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Although, look, if Haley wants to stay in, it's her right.
If her strategy is to just hope that Donald Trump
goes to prison for life, she wouldn't be the only one.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Game recognize game.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Speaking of Donald Trump, it's been a week now since
Russian dissident Alexi Navalney mysteriously died in prison after devoting
his life to fighting Vladimir Putin's dictatorship, and Donald Trump
honored him in the only way he knows how, by
making it about himself.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The former president, for his part, weighed in yesterday evening.
What he did was he shared an opinion piece on
his social media website that compares President Biden with Vladimir
Putin and compares himself with Alexi Navalney.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
This is utterly disgusting. But I have to give Trump credit.
I didn't realize he could make analogies way that He's
got the double Collins and everything. My little guys ready
for the SATs. But yes, it is unacceptable to compare
Navalney with Trump. Navalney sacrificed his life for democracy. Donald
(03:52):
Trump tried to sacrifice Mike Pence's life.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
To kill democracy.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
You could not find two men who are further apart
than these two. Now, if you're stupid enough to believe
that Donald Trump is a courageous freedom fighter like Alexi Navalny,
then good news.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
Trump has some perfume he'd like to sell you Trump
branded cologne.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It's called Trump forty seven, with the former President's.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Head at the top of the bottle.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
According to the website selling the cologne, it smells of
a crisp opening of citrus blends into a cedar heart
underpinned by a rich base of leather and amber.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
The last time Trump was underpinned by a rich base
of leather and amber, Amber had to sign an NDA. Also,
I love the shape of that bottle. Is that cologne
or a vibrator from hell? The first vibrator that doesn't
(04:56):
believe in the female orgasm. I think that this perfume
is just a quick grift to help Trump after he
was hit with a three hundred and fifty five million
dollar judgment for fraud, and based on their at campaign,
you would be.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Right confident sexy guilty of fraud. Introducing Victory forty seven
the new fragrance from Donald Trump.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
That's definitely not a desperate cash grab.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You want to smell like this, and now you can
grab her by the nostrils. Donald Trump is an icon
of grace and masculinity. Take a whiff of Victory forty
seven a cent that tells everyone, I want to help
a millionaire pay off as rape lawsuit. Buy a bottle
my ten thousand bottles, Send Donald Trump money he really.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Needs this, or get your condo.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Victory forty seven is now available next to the discount
candy at your local CBS victory forty seven. Smelling this
good should be.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Illegal, and it probably is.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Mappy, big talking perfume is undignified for the front runner
for president.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Excuse me, don't worry, it's not just perfume.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Donald Trump introducing a new sneaker line at a shoe
conference in Philly over the weekend.
Speaker 9 (06:16):
This is that big crowd appearing at sneaker Con in Philadelphia.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
We're going to remember the young people, and we're going
to remember sneaker Con, your sneakerheads.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Ryan, the former president, took today to promote a money
making deal, having struck a naming rights agreement for a
limited edition sneaker line, the most expensive pair in the series,
selling for three hundred and ninety nine dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
That's the real deal.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
That's the real deal.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Finally, a sneaker that won't make me feel bad when
I accidentally step and shit, No, I'm kidding. What is
actually the perfect shoe to tell the world you're about
to lose a game of one on one by fifty points.
To be fair, though, at least when you give money
(07:09):
to Trump you actually get something in return.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
If you give money to Democrats.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
All you get is fifty thousand emails asking for more
money send me a body spray Nancy, but I don't
know who am I to judge. I'm still wearing crocs
from the first time they were popular. To find out
what real sneaker heads think about these shoes, we sent
our very own Josh Johnson to investigate what's up world?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I'm Josh Johnson, and Donald Trump just released his new
Never Surrender high tops. There's only one thousand being released
and four hundred bucks a pop. They will probably not
put a dint in the judgment against him. So I
hit the streets today and talk some real sneaker heads
to see if these.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Are cops or dropped they know.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
Now, what do you.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Think of these sneakers?
Speaker 8 (07:54):
You know, it's very patriotic.
Speaker 11 (07:55):
I think that there's no rules in fashion.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Okay, were whatever you want, but me, Percy, I would not.
Would you copies you? You wouldn't know hard past. It
looks very two thousand and nine dated. Actually they look
like they don't bend. What are your thoughts on this shoe?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Trying to be sheep? Okay?
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Well, also very nationalistic?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Gotcha?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Now?
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Would you wear the shoe though? Okay?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So you think if you wore these two school you
might get like roasted up? Yeah, because like, what great
are you in seventh You're in seventh grade?
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:30):
How tall? Six to one? I played basketball?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You should do you think there's a sort of like
mic situation where as soon as you put them on,
you get indicted, probably if.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's not indicted by the judicial system, if you indicted
by society.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Do you think they go up even higher or they
go down if he goes to jail.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
I think if you go together, probably going like twenty
k sign crazli. Really, people are nothing like that.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm wearing these, right, I get robbed, they get taken off.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
You're not gonna get rout for those brothers.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Okay, that's good to know. So this is really like
robbery repellent right here.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
So people might try to give you tips on fashion,
like why are you wearing those?
Speaker 11 (09:08):
Okay, shoes are very symbolic of who you are as
a person, So if you have dumb shoes, might be
a person.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, those are pretty bad.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
But what about your shoes, Doug, What those are some
dirty ass shoes?
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Bro steak asshoes. Hell, no, beut to run a marathon
it's really about It's really about traumpa, is it?
Speaker 12 (09:33):
You're lucky bigger than me?
Speaker 11 (09:34):
Man.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
When we come back, we'll find out the last way
Alabama has made history.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
So don't go away.
Speaker 13 (10:09):
Welcome man to.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
The Daily Show. Ever since Roe v.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Wade was overturned two years ago, women have been predicting
that conservatives would go after other reproductive rights next, and
people said, ha, there go those hysterical women being hysterical again.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Well guess what this.
Speaker 12 (10:27):
Morning a first of its kind decision by the Alabama
Supreme Court that could put families access to fertility treatments
in the post row era at risk. The case in
question involved a patient who managed to access the freezer
storing frozen embryos at an Alabama fertility clinic. The patient
picked up multiple embryos and mistakenly dropped and destroyed them.
(10:48):
The state's high court says that patient can now be
held liable in a wrongful death lawsuit. The court determining
frozen embryos qualify as people under its state law ruling
born children are children without exception based on developmental stage.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
That's right. The bar has been moved again.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
From now on in Alabama life begins when a man
notices his first cousin is hot. Just to clarify what's
happening here, tens of thousands of women have children using
IVF every year, and since it's not possible to do
that without creating some excess embryos, the state of Alabama
has now ruled that starting a family is basically murder,
(11:29):
you know, pro life. And the way this ruling happened
is so crazy. This wasn't even intentional. They just dropped
a test tube.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Back in my day, we had something called the five
second rule and it was sacred. And I'm sorry, but
it's just weird to say that frozen embryos are legally
the same as children.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Last time I checked, you're not allowed to store kids
in the freezer.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
And yeah, yeah, I have checked, And now I'm on
some kind of CPS watch list. Don't get me wrong,
embryos are extremely precious to potential parents, but technically they're
just jiz and eggs. That's not a child, that's an appetizer.
At a very avant garde Brooklyn Ressant. For more on
(12:16):
this court decision, We go live to an IVF clinic
in Alabama with our very own Ronnie chain, Ronnie, Ronnie.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
What do you think the fallout will be of this?
Speaker 11 (12:34):
I'll tell you what the fallout is, DESSI turns out
I'm a father. Now that's ry. I say hello to
little Ronnie Junior. I love, he's gouts, Dad's eyes rocking
my baby. I don't know the rest of the lyrics
to that.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Okay, okay, I can tell you're running a scam. I
just don't know how yet.
Speaker 11 (12:55):
No, no, no, this is not a scam.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (12:59):
This is a eagle child into state of Alabama, which
means I get all the benefits of being a dad
without having to be a dad. I get to claim
him on my taxes, I got paternity leave, I gotta
hang out at the McDonald's ball pit without getting hassled.
I mean, best of all, he's my excuse to get
off shit I don't want to do, which reminds me, hey,
(13:20):
can we wrap this Uparadi, because I gotta go feed
my son.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Wait, how do you feed an embryo?
Speaker 11 (13:27):
You just pour a little fish food in here.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Look, lor Lork, here comes the play.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Don't don't worry.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
It's organic.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
My god, Ronnie dropped the act. I know you hate kids.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
No, no, I just hate your kids.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
It was like waving at me, hello, goodbye, not for ready.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I get it, Donnie, you're making a mockery of parenthood.
Speaker 11 (13:58):
Hey, well, okay, we'll take care of the stave of
alib them out, okay, because according to them, this is
a human life and it's so precious that people might
go to prison for messing with it. So that means
I'm a dad free and clip.
Speaker 10 (14:13):
Oh no, Ronnie Junior, Oh.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Shit, oh shit, that's the cops.
Speaker 11 (14:20):
Okay, I thought we defunded those guys. Deessy, I gotta
flee the state, okay, you Jessey shit, Okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Good Mark, Ronnie, Ronnie Jay, everyone, we come back tonight.
Gerrera will be joining us, so don't go away.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
An actor and playwright who's the co creator and star
of the new AMC mini series The Walking Dead The
Ones Who Live. Please welcome Deny Guerrera.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Thank Carol, Oh my women. That's a good welcome.
Speaker 13 (15:29):
Yeah, beautiful guys, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
We're happy to be you and.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
I'm happy to see you.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Thank you so much for being here I am I
being such a fan of your work. You're an incredible actress,
and you command such a presence every time you're on screen.
These roles that you play, you play these extraordinary, powerful, resilient,
katana wielding women. Do you ever feel like you just
(15:56):
want to like take a break and play Linda from HR?
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Are you know?
Speaker 13 (16:02):
As long as you dresses cute, Yes, that's.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
What I missed. I miss wearing cute clothes when.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
I go to work.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Oh my god, I don't even think about that. Not
just not having blood smeared everywhere.
Speaker 13 (16:12):
Yeah, like that's the makeup. You know, you still go
smearing and like dust. Get some more dust on here,
get some more dirt.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
That's perfect.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Now.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Yeah, you still want to kill zombies?
Speaker 13 (16:21):
Yeah, don't take away the katana now, No, let me hold.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
On to that.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I think you're managing it. You managed to kill zombies.
Speaker 13 (16:29):
I mean in HR with a katana?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Sure, Hey, I think it's an asset. You know, we
don't even have HR here, so our budget got cut.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
That's not true. We'll edit that part out. You.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
What's so interesting to me about this series is that
you're not only acting in it, but you executive produce,
you co created it, you write on it. Was it
challenging just juggling all the hats and one project, Well.
Speaker 13 (17:01):
It was actually it was really cool because from where
you start you get a role like what was that
like twelve years ago, and it's in this show that
was massive at the time, and it was just like,
I'm just hoping I can keep this Katana in my
hand and not drop it and when they're shooting, and
then to go through this whole arc with the character
and the journey she's had, which has been tremendous and
I'm very thankful for how she was written. And then
(17:22):
to go into actually creating the spinoff that like completes
her story with the man who she loves with Rick Grimes,
that was a very cool arc. I mean the interesting
parts of it were. Of course, executive producing is a
lot of work, but then I was also there was
an episode that I wrote that I was show running
and Scott Kimpole was like, don't talk to me, talk
to her.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
It's all her.
Speaker 13 (17:43):
And you know, there are times I'm like in this
very intense episode and then I noticed that the corpse
and the scene doesn't look dead enough, and I'm like
special effects makeup. Can you just help me with this
a little bit? So I have to jump out I'm
the shown and make sure she looks good in three
weeks did and then and then jump back into the role.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Of course, the Walking Dead fans are going to devour
this like a zombieyond flesh, But truly it stands on
its own. If you haven't watched the series, it's it's
its own beast.
Speaker 13 (18:17):
Yeah, thank you. I think I think that's true because
it really is the epic love story of the series.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
And if you.
Speaker 13 (18:23):
Haven't watched it, you can really just latch in because
you can see what's happened to Rick and what's happening
with Micheown and how they come together and what happens there.
So it really kind of stands on its own.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
And yeah, it was.
Speaker 13 (18:34):
It was an interesting journey to actually get the opportunity
because Walking Dead was such a jogonnaut of various narratives,
big villains, and lots of things going on. So to
actually step into just these two and their journey and
a love story in the apocalypse was it was. It
was really really fun and intense.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Yes, you can feel that I can't wait to maybe
you would consider sneaking me the rest of the episodes
because I don't think I can wait until they come out.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
You don't mind.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, Now, the Walking Dead franchise is considered a sci
fi zombie apocalypse. But are you concerned when you look
at the state of the world, is it becoming a
little bit more of a political drama.
Speaker 13 (19:17):
I think they've been neck and neck for like ten years.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (19:22):
I mean what I love about The Walking Dead and
what attracts me to because I was scared out of
my mind of horror. But what attracted me to it
when I was asked to audition for it in like
twenty twelve was the fact that you know, it was
about people, characters like who would and everyone was like
what would I Who would I be if the world
end and if everything that was convenient to me and
(19:43):
normal to me just was gone and everything was just
totally upended? Who would I become? And I think that
is actually what attracts people to it. It became like
this family show, Like we meet people like seven year
olds to seventy year olds who were watching it with
their family every week. It's how like there's bonded with
their fourteen year olds. I mean, it was kind of
amazing to see that it was having that effect. But
(20:05):
I think it was really just seeing people, all types
of people navigate something that you can't imagine, but then
you almost can. Yeah, and then everyone's like, Okay, what
would I do? What I become? If people tell me
what they got decked out for the you know, the
bad day that could come, they've got it all in
their garage.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
And preppers jes Day preppers.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
What's the craziest thing that a prepper has ever told
you that they're collecting.
Speaker 13 (20:26):
Wow, that's a good question. I mean, you know, I've
heard a lot about peanut butter. Yeah, people like their
peanut butter.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Yeah, people love peanut butter. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I collect that just jars and tubs. I hide it
under my bed just in case I want a midnight stack.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Listen, there's nothing like a good speed of peanut butter.
I have some under this desk. You want some?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Share your birthday? Just past Happy birthday? Her birthday's on valid? Yes,
to celebrate you wrote this beautiful post. What was behind
that message? And tell us a little bit about the foundation.
Speaker 13 (21:05):
Yeah. I created Love our Girls because I just think
Valentine's Day is just it's just such a sucky holiday.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Right?
Speaker 13 (21:13):
You know, people are expecting things like give me roses
and candy and like, you know what I mean. But
I think it is beautiful in the sense that it's
about love and would I was trying to like repurpose
it about six seven, eight years ago when I had
a show on Broadway and it was an all women play,
and I just wanted to, like say, what if this
day that has always been associated with the dye was
born so I can never disassociate from it. What if
(21:34):
it was just about love and loving girls more so
that a lot of the things that they face and
the discriminations they face, and the struggles they face and
the celebrations that they face just get more attention on
that day. So I decided to make that kind of
the theme of the idea of Love Our Girls, which
is just like an information hub. It's just about learn
more about what girls and women are doing around the
world and celebrate them and support them. And you can
(21:57):
can't create advocates until you create information or just share information.
So that's really all it is. It's just an informational
hub to like celebrate women and girls and show them love.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Oh so beautiful.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Thank you so much for the work that you do,
all of the work, and I cannot wait to finish
the series.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
You're incredible in it.
Speaker 5 (22:20):

into it. With our ongoing coverage of Indecision twenty four,
(01:02):
let's kick things off with Nikki Haley. She made a
big announcement today, but it wasn't the one we were
all expecting.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Some of you, perhaps a few of you in the media,
came here today to see if I'm dropping out of
the race.
Speaker 7 (01:19):
Well I'm not.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Okay, we'll just wait another week then.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
Do what you want.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
But it's not a good sign for your campaign if
you have to keep announcing that you're not dropping out
of the race. Nikki Haley's campaign has reached the guest
who doesn't know when to leave the party stage. Republican
voters are like, ooh, oh god, I got to wake
up early tomorrow, and Nikki's like, oh.
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Let's start a game of risk.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
And if this speech was supposed to convince people that
she should stay in the race, I'm.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Not really sure it did.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
We've all heard the calls from me to drop out.
The argument is familiar. They say I haven't won a state,
that my path to victory is slim. They point to
the primary polls and say, I'm only delaying the inevitable.
Why keep fighting when the battle was apparently over after Iowa.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
She's making a really good case against herself. They say
my campaign is making everyone sad, that I'm a born
loser whose own mother wouldn't vote for her. They claim
I have a fourteen percent on Rotten Tomatoes and I'm.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
Not even a movie anyway. What were we talking about?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Although, look, if Haley wants to stay in, it's her right.
If her strategy is to just hope that Donald Trump
goes to prison for life, she wouldn't be the only one.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Game recognize game.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Speaking of Donald Trump, it's been a week now since
Russian dissident Alexi Navalney mysteriously died in prison after devoting
his life to fighting Vladimir Putin's dictatorship, and Donald Trump
honored him in the only way he knows how, by
making it about himself.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The former president, for his part, weighed in yesterday evening.
What he did was he shared an opinion piece on
his social media website that compares President Biden with Vladimir
Putin and compares himself with Alexi Navalney.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
This is utterly disgusting. But I have to give Trump credit.
I didn't realize he could make analogies way that He's
got the double Collins and everything. My little guys ready
for the SATs. But yes, it is unacceptable to compare
Navalney with Trump. Navalney sacrificed his life for democracy. Donald
(03:52):
Trump tried to sacrifice Mike Pence's life.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
To kill democracy.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
You could not find two men who are further apart
than these two. Now, if you're stupid enough to believe
that Donald Trump is a courageous freedom fighter like Alexi Navalny,
then good news.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
Trump has some perfume he'd like to sell you Trump
branded cologne.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It's called Trump forty seven, with the former President's.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Head at the top of the bottle.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
According to the website selling the cologne, it smells of
a crisp opening of citrus blends into a cedar heart
underpinned by a rich base of leather and amber.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
The last time Trump was underpinned by a rich base
of leather and amber, Amber had to sign an NDA. Also,
I love the shape of that bottle. Is that cologne
or a vibrator from hell? The first vibrator that doesn't
(04:56):
believe in the female orgasm. I think that this perfume
is just a quick grift to help Trump after he
was hit with a three hundred and fifty five million
dollar judgment for fraud, and based on their at campaign,
you would be.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Right confident sexy guilty of fraud. Introducing Victory forty seven
the new fragrance from Donald Trump.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
That's definitely not a desperate cash grab.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You want to smell like this, and now you can
grab her by the nostrils. Donald Trump is an icon
of grace and masculinity. Take a whiff of Victory forty
seven a cent that tells everyone, I want to help
a millionaire pay off as rape lawsuit. Buy a bottle
my ten thousand bottles, Send Donald Trump money he really.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Needs this, or get your condo.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Victory forty seven is now available next to the discount
candy at your local CBS victory forty seven. Smelling this
good should be.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Illegal, and it probably is.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Mappy, big talking perfume is undignified for the front runner
for president.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
Excuse me, don't worry, it's not just perfume.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Donald Trump introducing a new sneaker line at a shoe
conference in Philly over the weekend.
Speaker 9 (06:16):
This is that big crowd appearing at sneaker Con in Philadelphia.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
We're going to remember the young people, and we're going
to remember sneaker Con, your sneakerheads.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Ryan, the former president, took today to promote a money
making deal, having struck a naming rights agreement for a
limited edition sneaker line, the most expensive pair in the series,
selling for three hundred and ninety nine dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
That's the real deal.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
That's the real deal.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Finally, a sneaker that won't make me feel bad when
I accidentally step and shit, No, I'm kidding. What is
actually the perfect shoe to tell the world you're about
to lose a game of one on one by fifty points.
To be fair, though, at least when you give money
(07:09):
to Trump you actually get something in return.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
If you give money to Democrats.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
All you get is fifty thousand emails asking for more
money send me a body spray Nancy, but I don't
know who am I to judge. I'm still wearing crocs
from the first time they were popular. To find out
what real sneaker heads think about these shoes, we sent
our very own Josh Johnson to investigate what's up world?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I'm Josh Johnson, and Donald Trump just released his new
Never Surrender high tops. There's only one thousand being released
and four hundred bucks a pop. They will probably not
put a dint in the judgment against him. So I
hit the streets today and talk some real sneaker heads
to see if these.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Are cops or dropped they know.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
Now, what do you.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Think of these sneakers?
Speaker 8 (07:54):
You know, it's very patriotic.
Speaker 11 (07:55):
I think that there's no rules in fashion.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Okay, were whatever you want, but me, Percy, I would not.
Would you copies you? You wouldn't know hard past. It
looks very two thousand and nine dated. Actually they look
like they don't bend. What are your thoughts on this shoe?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Trying to be sheep? Okay?
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Well, also very nationalistic?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Gotcha?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Now?
Speaker 7 (08:19):
Would you wear the shoe though? Okay?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So you think if you wore these two school you
might get like roasted up? Yeah, because like, what great
are you in seventh You're in seventh grade?
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:30):
How tall? Six to one? I played basketball?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You should do you think there's a sort of like
mic situation where as soon as you put them on,
you get indicted, probably if.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's not indicted by the judicial system, if you indicted
by society.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Do you think they go up even higher or they
go down if he goes to jail.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
I think if you go together, probably going like twenty
k sign crazli. Really, people are nothing like that.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm wearing these, right, I get robbed, they get taken off.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
You're not gonna get rout for those brothers.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Okay, that's good to know. So this is really like
robbery repellent right here.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
So people might try to give you tips on fashion,
like why are you wearing those?
Speaker 11 (09:08):
Okay, shoes are very symbolic of who you are as
a person, So if you have dumb shoes, might be
a person.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, those are pretty bad.
Speaker 10 (09:17):
But what about your shoes, Doug, What those are some
dirty ass shoes?
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Bro steak asshoes. Hell, no, beut to run a marathon
it's really about It's really about traumpa, is it?
Speaker 12 (09:33):
You're lucky bigger than me?
Speaker 11 (09:34):
Man.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
When we come back, we'll find out the last way
Alabama has made history.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
So don't go away.
Speaker 13 (10:09):
Welcome man to.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
The Daily Show. Ever since Roe v.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Wade was overturned two years ago, women have been predicting
that conservatives would go after other reproductive rights next, and
people said, ha, there go those hysterical women being hysterical again.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
Well guess what this.
Speaker 12 (10:27):
Morning a first of its kind decision by the Alabama
Supreme Court that could put families access to fertility treatments
in the post row era at risk. The case in
question involved a patient who managed to access the freezer
storing frozen embryos at an Alabama fertility clinic. The patient
picked up multiple embryos and mistakenly dropped and destroyed them.
(10:48):
The state's high court says that patient can now be
held liable in a wrongful death lawsuit. The court determining
frozen embryos qualify as people under its state law ruling
born children are children without exception based on developmental stage.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
That's right. The bar has been moved again.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
From now on in Alabama life begins when a man
notices his first cousin is hot. Just to clarify what's
happening here, tens of thousands of women have children using
IVF every year, and since it's not possible to do
that without creating some excess embryos, the state of Alabama
has now ruled that starting a family is basically murder,
(11:29):
you know, pro life. And the way this ruling happened
is so crazy. This wasn't even intentional. They just dropped
a test tube.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Back in my day, we had something called the five
second rule and it was sacred. And I'm sorry, but
it's just weird to say that frozen embryos are legally
the same as children.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Last time I checked, you're not allowed to store kids
in the freezer.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
And yeah, yeah, I have checked, And now I'm on
some kind of CPS watch list. Don't get me wrong,
embryos are extremely precious to potential parents, but technically they're
just jiz and eggs. That's not a child, that's an appetizer.
At a very avant garde Brooklyn Ressant. For more on
(12:16):
this court decision, We go live to an IVF clinic
in Alabama with our very own Ronnie chain, Ronnie, Ronnie.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
What do you think the fallout will be of this?
Speaker 11 (12:34):
I'll tell you what the fallout is, DESSI turns out
I'm a father. Now that's ry. I say hello to
little Ronnie Junior. I love, he's gouts, Dad's eyes rocking
my baby. I don't know the rest of the lyrics
to that.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Okay, okay, I can tell you're running a scam. I
just don't know how yet.
Speaker 11 (12:55):
No, no, no, this is not a scam.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (12:59):
This is a eagle child into state of Alabama, which
means I get all the benefits of being a dad
without having to be a dad. I get to claim
him on my taxes, I got paternity leave, I gotta
hang out at the McDonald's ball pit without getting hassled.
I mean, best of all, he's my excuse to get
off shit I don't want to do, which reminds me, hey,
(13:20):
can we wrap this Uparadi, because I gotta go feed
my son.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Wait, how do you feed an embryo?
Speaker 11 (13:27):
You just pour a little fish food in here.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Look, lor Lork, here comes the play.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Don't don't worry.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
It's organic.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
My god, Ronnie dropped the act. I know you hate kids.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
No, no, I just hate your kids.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
It was like waving at me, hello, goodbye, not for ready.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I get it, Donnie, you're making a mockery of parenthood.
Speaker 11 (13:58):
Hey, well, okay, we'll take care of the stave of
alib them out, okay, because according to them, this is
a human life and it's so precious that people might
go to prison for messing with it. So that means
I'm a dad free and clip.
Speaker 10 (14:13):
Oh no, Ronnie Junior, Oh.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Shit, oh shit, that's the cops.
Speaker 11 (14:20):
Okay, I thought we defunded those guys. Deessy, I gotta
flee the state, okay, you Jessey shit, Okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Good Mark, Ronnie, Ronnie Jay, everyone, we come back tonight.
Gerrera will be joining us, so don't go away.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
An actor and playwright who's the co creator and star
of the new AMC mini series The Walking Dead The
Ones Who Live. Please welcome Deny Guerrera.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Thank Carol, Oh my women. That's a good welcome.
Speaker 13 (15:29):
Yeah, beautiful guys, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 9 (15:33):
We're happy to be you and.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
I'm happy to see you.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Thank you so much for being here I am I
being such a fan of your work. You're an incredible actress,
and you command such a presence every time you're on screen.
These roles that you play, you play these extraordinary, powerful, resilient,
katana wielding women. Do you ever feel like you just
(15:56):
want to like take a break and play Linda from HR?
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Are you know?
Speaker 13 (16:02):
As long as you dresses cute, Yes, that's.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
What I missed. I miss wearing cute clothes when.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
I go to work.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Oh my god, I don't even think about that. Not
just not having blood smeared everywhere.
Speaker 13 (16:12):
Yeah, like that's the makeup. You know, you still go
smearing and like dust. Get some more dust on here,
get some more dirt.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
That's perfect.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Now.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Yeah, you still want to kill zombies?
Speaker 13 (16:21):
Yeah, don't take away the katana now, No, let me hold.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
On to that.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I think you're managing it. You managed to kill zombies.
Speaker 13 (16:29):
I mean in HR with a katana?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Sure, Hey, I think it's an asset. You know, we
don't even have HR here, so our budget got cut.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
That's not true. We'll edit that part out. You.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
What's so interesting to me about this series is that
you're not only acting in it, but you executive produce,
you co created it, you write on it. Was it
challenging just juggling all the hats and one project, Well.
Speaker 13 (17:01):
It was actually it was really cool because from where
you start you get a role like what was that
like twelve years ago, and it's in this show that
was massive at the time, and it was just like,
I'm just hoping I can keep this Katana in my
hand and not drop it and when they're shooting, and
then to go through this whole arc with the character
and the journey she's had, which has been tremendous and
I'm very thankful for how she was written. And then
(17:22):
to go into actually creating the spinoff that like completes
her story with the man who she loves with Rick Grimes,
that was a very cool arc. I mean the interesting
parts of it were. Of course, executive producing is a
lot of work, but then I was also there was
an episode that I wrote that I was show running
and Scott Kimpole was like, don't talk to me, talk
to her.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
It's all her.
Speaker 13 (17:43):
And you know, there are times I'm like in this
very intense episode and then I noticed that the corpse
and the scene doesn't look dead enough, and I'm like
special effects makeup. Can you just help me with this
a little bit? So I have to jump out I'm
the shown and make sure she looks good in three
weeks did and then and then jump back into the role.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Of course, the Walking Dead fans are going to devour
this like a zombieyond flesh, But truly it stands on
its own. If you haven't watched the series, it's it's
its own beast.
Speaker 13 (18:17):
Yeah, thank you. I think I think that's true because
it really is the epic love story of the series.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
And if you.
Speaker 13 (18:23):
Haven't watched it, you can really just latch in because
you can see what's happened to Rick and what's happening
with Micheown and how they come together and what happens there.
So it really kind of stands on its own.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
And yeah, it was.
Speaker 13 (18:34):
It was an interesting journey to actually get the opportunity
because Walking Dead was such a jogonnaut of various narratives,
big villains, and lots of things going on. So to
actually step into just these two and their journey and
a love story in the apocalypse was it was. It
was really really fun and intense.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Yes, you can feel that I can't wait to maybe
you would consider sneaking me the rest of the episodes
because I don't think I can wait until they come out.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
You don't mind.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Yeah, Now, the Walking Dead franchise is considered a sci
fi zombie apocalypse. But are you concerned when you look
at the state of the world, is it becoming a
little bit more of a political drama.
Speaker 13 (19:17):
I think they've been neck and neck for like ten years.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (19:22):
I mean what I love about The Walking Dead and
what attracts me to because I was scared out of
my mind of horror. But what attracted me to it
when I was asked to audition for it in like
twenty twelve was the fact that you know, it was
about people, characters like who would and everyone was like
what would I Who would I be if the world
end and if everything that was convenient to me and
(19:43):
normal to me just was gone and everything was just
totally upended? Who would I become? And I think that
is actually what attracts people to it. It became like
this family show, Like we meet people like seven year
olds to seventy year olds who were watching it with
their family every week. It's how like there's bonded with
their fourteen year olds. I mean, it was kind of
amazing to see that it was having that effect. But
(20:05):
I think it was really just seeing people, all types
of people navigate something that you can't imagine, but then
you almost can. Yeah, and then everyone's like, Okay, what
would I do? What I become? If people tell me
what they got decked out for the you know, the
bad day that could come, they've got it all in
their garage.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
And preppers jes Day preppers.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
What's the craziest thing that a prepper has ever told
you that they're collecting.
Speaker 13 (20:26):
Wow, that's a good question. I mean, you know, I've
heard a lot about peanut butter. Yeah, people like their
peanut butter.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Yeah, people love peanut butter. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I collect that just jars and tubs. I hide it
under my bed just in case I want a midnight stack.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Listen, there's nothing like a good speed of peanut butter.
I have some under this desk. You want some?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Share your birthday? Just past Happy birthday? Her birthday's on valid? Yes,
to celebrate you wrote this beautiful post. What was behind
that message? And tell us a little bit about the foundation.
Speaker 13 (21:05):
Yeah. I created Love our Girls because I just think
Valentine's Day is just it's just such a sucky holiday.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Right?
Speaker 13 (21:13):
You know, people are expecting things like give me roses
and candy and like, you know what I mean. But
I think it is beautiful in the sense that it's
about love and would I was trying to like repurpose
it about six seven, eight years ago when I had
a show on Broadway and it was an all women play,
and I just wanted to, like say, what if this
day that has always been associated with the dye was
born so I can never disassociate from it. What if
(21:34):
it was just about love and loving girls more so
that a lot of the things that they face and
the discriminations they face, and the struggles they face and
the celebrations that they face just get more attention on
that day. So I decided to make that kind of
the theme of the idea of Love Our Girls, which
is just like an information hub. It's just about learn
more about what girls and women are doing around the
world and celebrate them and support them. And you can
(21:57):
can't create advocates until you create information or just share information.
So that's really all it is. It's just an informational
hub to like celebrate women and girls and show them love.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Oh so beautiful.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Thank you so much for the work that you do,
all of the work, and I cannot wait to finish
the series.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
You're incredible in it.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
