Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey, what's going on, everybody?
I'm Trevor Noah, and this is The Daily Show. I'm
so excited because you know, we're in a new studio,
we're switching things up, we're playing around with new ideas,
and tonight we've got a brand new musical sidekick by
the name of Jason Isbell. Everybody, Wow, this is exciting.
What's going on? Jason? I'm excited to be here, Trevor. Oh, Man,
(00:23):
you're excited. I'm excited. Superstar Huh. All those Grammys, all
those skills on the guitar, and now you're here with me. Man,
We're gonna have so much fun because we're gonna be
doing the classic thing where I'm gonna tell jokes and
then on the punchline you're gonna do like a little
riff what I phone final Ah, just like that. There's
(00:46):
gonna be so much fun. All right. Uh, this is
a new era for the show people. I'm excited. Jason isabile,
Trevor no what a team. All right, let's kick things
off with the latest in technology. If you haven't flown
for a while because of the pandemic, well planes might
look a little different the next time you bought one.
Would you fly on a plane with no windows? Well,
a company and organ hope So Rose and Aviation is
(01:07):
showing off their Maverick project. It's a concept of a
windowless airplane cabin. Instead of real windows, there'd be screens
that you see right there. They look just like windows,
showing off virtual views of outside. For instance, if you're
flying over a mountain range, you would see the mountains
and information about them on a screen. Right now, the
concept applies to only private jets, but the company says
(01:28):
next year they'll show off a version for commercial airliners.
They're replacing plane windows with screens. Come on, guys, if
I want to see boring pictures of nature, I'll just
look at my screen saver. That was the That was
the punchline. I'm sorry. I thought it was going to
(01:51):
be like something more like if if I want to
see pictures of boring things in nature, I'll just look
at a white woman's instagram. That would be like a
little little funnier. Yeah, if you played the guitar off
of mine, people probably would have blocked as well, because
like the riff actually helps people. But it was cool
(02:14):
your joke was cool. I think we both had um anyway,
and hey, um was this even necessary? Like? How about
instead of replacing the windows, you Airlines replaced the in
flat meals with something we actually want to eat? Or like,
how about maybe if we say, like making the bathrooms
(02:35):
bigger and those doors are so small, I don't even
have room to sit down when I pee. Okay, okay, okay,
that's why I flat Spirit Airlines. The whole plane is
the bathroom. No Spirit Airlines is my thing. No, No
(02:57):
Spirit Airline. No, don't, this isn't go stop stop laughing.
This is a place of business. This is a place
of business. You can't come here and play. This isn't
gonna work coming to you from a Hartno time for
(03:20):
the most important place, honor. It's the Daily here tonight
American throws out the loco. Jordan goes to school and
Jason is bound. This is the Daily Show with fever.
All right, let's kick things off with the coronavirus vaccine.
(03:41):
It's like a condom, but for your lungs. By now,
we all know that people need two shots of the
FISA and MADERNA vaccines in order to have full immunity.
But recently both companies said that people can actually get
better than full immunity with a third shot. So yeah,
I guess COVID shots are like iPhones. Now you think
you're all upgraded, some latest and greatest, and then a
(04:03):
few months later they have a new vaccine with an
extra camera. So now there's a question about who should
be able to get that third shots. Breaking overnight, the
FDA authorizing Viser's COVID vaccine booster, making millions of Americans
immediately eligible to receive a third shot. Among those who
can get the extra dose of protection people sixty five
(04:25):
and older, those at high risk for severe illness, and
people who are frequently exposed to COVID at their jobs
like healthcare workers, school teachers, and grocery store employees. The
third Viser dose must come at least six months after
the second shot. An unknown number of people have already
gotten unauthorized booster shots with little oversight to stop them.
(04:46):
Dr Peter Grinspoon, a primary care physician, says he's been
bombarded by patients who want an extra dose. A lot
of people are asking, how could I portray myself as immunocompromised,
and you know it puts you in a little bit
with an awkward position. Man, this country is living in
two different worlds, right. One side is doing everything they
can to avoid getting the vaccine, and the other side
(05:09):
is going to their doctor like, can you give me aids?
Come on, do something. I want to get that booster shot,
Come on, doc. And what's funny to me is Americans
are debating whether or not they should get their third shot. Meanwhile,
people in many countries around the world still haven't gotten
their first shot. And hey, I'm not hating you know,
I just feel like, maybe to make Americans aware of
what's going on globally, every time someone in America gets
(05:30):
a booster shot, they should have to do it in
front of an African guy. Oh yeah, back for thirds?
Uh no, no, go ahead, No, no no, I'm fine, all wait,
I'll wait. No, I enjoy it, enjoy its super immune
look at you. Uh. But let's move on now to Halloween,
the holiday when goblins and vampires find out what cultural
appropriation feels like. The spooky celebration is just one month away,
(05:51):
which means it's time for the nation's posters to stop
asking which political party should kill and eat the other
and start asking questions like this trend been this morning
some spooky news. The belief in ghosts is up over
the last four decades. Percent of Americans believe in ghosts
today compared to only eleven forty years ago. Well, there's
(06:13):
also the belief that ghosts appear because something needs to
be corrected, like not having a proper burial or a
murder suspect. Yeah, this is spooky, Okay, has still not
been caught. Yeah, of course more people believe in ghosts.
COVID has made a lot more of them. And as
for the idea that ghosts are sticking around these days
(06:34):
to correct something people, that is so ridiculous. I mean,
the reason ghosts stick around is because they need to
finish all the TV shows they were watching. That's what
I'm gonna do. Heaven can wait. When I'm dead, I'll
finally have time to see how better court soul ends.
And look between Trump's Russian agent and the vaccine as
(06:54):
a microchip. I feel like ghosts almost the least crazy
thing that people believe. Now. You know, actually personally wouldn't
mind having a ghost to talk to. Ghost too sensible
and they care about the environment. That's why they always
turning off your lights and stuff. He'll save your electric
bull Although, if ghosts really are among us, I feel
(07:14):
bad for them. I mean, because this must be the
most boring time to be a ghost. Right. People's lives
are really trash? Right now? What are you watching? Okay?
Now Todds eating? No, Todds poooping. Now he's done pooping,
But he's just sitting there scrolling through Twitter. Yo, is
(07:35):
there a hell I can go too? This is some bullshit,
but let's move on now to our top story, the border.
It's the velvet rope around Club America, and right now
the line to get in the club is a total
ship show. This morning our closest look yet at what's
become the nation's newest border flash point. It's a place
(07:57):
where thousands of desperate Haitians wait and hope their journey
doesn't in here. Who stays, who goes? At? How much
longer can they wait? Thousands of migrants living in makeshift huts,
sleeping in the dirt, waiting their turn to get processed
by US immigration authorities. Patient migrants scrambling to find their
place in line, and arguments break out on the tarmac
(08:21):
as US deportation flights ramp up in an effort to
clear out the camp in Del Rio in the next
nine to ten days. Just outside the bridge camp there
are state troopers lined up as far as the eye
can see in either direction. Here the point is to
build a wall of vehicles to prevent anyone from slipping
into the US. Oh Man, Donald Trump must be so
(08:44):
mad that Biden has a cooler border wall than he
could have a come up with. He's probably sitting there like,
how is this possible? Hey, turned my wall into a transformer.
How didn't know you could do that. It's also gonna
be really funny when one of those agents forgets the
accas in the car, Hi, that migrants driving away with
my border wall. But yes, basically what happened is that
(09:05):
thousands of Haitian migrants all suddenly showed up at the
border trying to get into the U. S. And I
know right now a lot of people are asking Haitians, Dude,
I didn't know America shared a border with Haiti. That
doesn't make any sense. Well, it turns out when you
hear the details, it's complicated, but it actually does make sense.
The mass migration of Haitians to the U. S has
(09:26):
been years in the making. Many moved to Central and
South America after the two thousand ten earthquake in Haiti,
but poor economic conditions and false information have been making
the journey to the U. S. Border. Three years ago,
I left Haiti. I sold my lands to go to Chile.
In Chile, we found out Biden said we could enter,
so we entered. We are very concerned that Haitians who
(09:49):
are taking this irregular migration path are receiving false information
that the border is open or the temporary protected status
is available. That is false information that our borders are
not open, and people should not make the dangerous journey.
If you come to the United States illegally, you will
(10:10):
be returned. This is really messed up. A lot of
these people came to the US because they heard that
the border was just open, which is not what I mean.
Can you blame them for being confused? Like America's immigration
policies are super schizophrenic, you know, because Bush was like,
we need a path to citizenship for illegals, and then
(10:32):
Obama was like, we're a nation of immigrants, but I
will deport your ass and then Trump came in. It
was like, you know, me My thing is the world,
that beautiful world. Some say even Jericho that walls as weird,
And honestly, Biden is just adding to the confusion because
how are migrants supposed to know that when Biden says
stuff like this, a nice where we lived by the
(10:53):
values that embraces immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, does not slam
the door although fleeing persecution, violence and oppression. What he
really means is, I'm rolling back some of Trump's policies,
but the one that lets me deport asylum seekers during
a pandemic, I'm keeping that one. So Biden isn't just
(11:16):
letting everyone in. Many are being allowed to stay and
apply for asylum, but thousands are being flown back to Haiti.
So I get how this could be confusing. And also
if any of those Haitians had been watching Fox News,
well that's probably another reason that they thought now was
a really good time to come. If Joe Biden's elected president,
I thought, I think the only thing that will be
open will be the jails and the borders. The Biden
(11:38):
administration has actually actually been crystal clear and their messages
are borders are open and come on in the bad
administration has an open border policy. The Democrats today support
open borders. You know, if you're a terroristments coming to
the country, got two miles open border. It's as if
there's a bad signal that has gone off in Del Rio, Texas.
(12:00):
Everyone come here because the borders wide open. Wait wait, wait, hold,
hold on, a bat signal is attracting all of these migrants.
I mean that would only make sense if all the
migrants were Batman, in which case, hell yeah, we should
let all those guys in who wouldn't want America to
have ten thousand more Batman and then we could finally
stop all this penguin crime. And you know, Fox News
(12:22):
can blame Biden, but they're also part of spreading this
false message. I mean, if people see the stuff on TV,
they don't know Fox News is bullshit. I'm sorry, opinion.
They just see news. But the border is not open.
It's never been open. And because it's not open, thousands
of Haitians are now meeting America's border patrol head on
(12:44):
this morning. The White House is seeking more information on
what it is calling horrific footage at the US Mexico border.
A number of agents on horseback can be seen trying
to keep migrants from crossing into the country while threatening
them with what appears to be horses, reins, or rope,
including families like this one holding a baby. When the
agents get dangerously close as they tried to pass, the
(13:06):
agent said this to that country, because holy shit, did
you hear what that guy said? He's like a Facebook
comment riding a horse. And look, I get that your
job is to secure the border, but I didn't know
that hurling racist insults at people is part of the job.
(13:28):
You know. That's like if part of a T s
A Agents show was to roast people as they passed
through security. Excuse me, sir, I'm gonna need you to
take off the shoes and burn them in the trash
because those things an ugly mess. Ship like walking around
with those man, Oh those some nasty answer. Yeah you're good,
come on, come on, go on, you're good man, you're good.
All right? Yeah, you got that out? Take your laptop out.
Oh and another thing, can we stop involving horses and
(13:51):
all the ship that we do as human beings? They
don't want to be involved, right, they have nothing against immigrants,
but now they're in the newspapers too. They've just been
cursed with very rightable bodies. I feel like this has
been a tough monthful horses. First America stole their worm medicine,
and now they're getting canceled. It's not fair now. Needless
to say, these images have stirred up a lot of blowback,
(14:12):
and this isn't the usual Republicans versus Democrats think no, no, no.
This time the Biden administration is getting flak from its
own team. I'm pissed. I'm unhappy, and I'm not just
unhappy with the cowboys who were running down Haitians and
using their reins to whip them. I'm happy with the administration.
(14:38):
We are following the Trump policy. What the hell are
we doing here? What we witness takes us back hundreds
of years. What we witnessed was worse than what we
witnessed in slavery. Cowboys with their reins again whipping black people. Hey,
(15:00):
reactions enter the water. You know a black woman is
angry when she's willing to come out in the rain
and risk her hair to tell you how she feels.
And I understand her frustration with Biden. You know, because
Democrats promised that they would handle the border with more humanity,
but now it looks like a dude ranch run by
(15:20):
Tucker Carlson. I will say, though, I will say I
disagree with Anti Maxine and saying this was worse than slavery.
I feel like that line we should only ever say
for things that are worse than slavery. And like, don't
get me wrong, I get where anti Maxine is coming from. Right,
You've got a white guy up on a horse, he's
(15:41):
swinging his reins at a bunch of black people. Those
are some of the main ingredients of slavery. You know.
You see that stuff together in one place and that's
where your mind goes. But it's not worse than slavery.
It can happen to you. Like I remember going to
a kid's birthday party where there was a pony ride
and I was like, whoa is this slavery? No tram,
It's Jimmy's birthday party. Okay, but if you make me
(16:04):
pick that cotton candy, I'm calling my mom. So look,
as much as people would like to solve this issue
in a tweet or a TikTok video, the truth is,
the ugly truth is immigration is one of the most
complicated issues to figure out, and it becomes exponentially more
difficult when fifteen thousand people show up on your doorstep.
(16:27):
I mean I can barely handle it when five of
my friends show up unannounced. An America may not be
able to fix this immigration policies overnight, but what it
can try to do. The least it can try to
do is remember that, yes, you are enforcing your border,
but at the very least you can treat the humans
you're dealing with with the humanity we all deserve, all right.
(16:50):
When we come back, Jordan Clapper goes back to school.
You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the
Daily Show. School has started in America, but many parents
are not happy with the new COVID rules their children
have to obey. So we sent Jordan Cleppa down to
hear these parents out. In another episode of Jordan Clepper
(17:13):
Fingers the Pulse, I'm in Johnston County, North Carolina, marching
with anti mass protesters to what it's become America's new
thunderdoor school board meetings. North Carolina parents are desperate to
get their kids back into schools, but with packed I
(17:35):
c U s and COVID cases and children four times
what they were last year. New studies in the CDC
are recommending mass as a way to keep in person learning.
Bud Pack school board meetings and new Stars of the
Right are upset because putting out a piece of cloth
is just too much. I'm against all mandates, So from there,
I don't think. Where it's masks, where it's vaccinations, I'm
(17:56):
against it. All masks will never protect Americas. Masks don't work.
My child was suffering after wearing his mask for so long.
What kind of issues has he had? He's had acne
on his face from you know, the mask covering and
not letting his skin breathe has he had COVID, but
he has that acne. Yes, So have you had to choose?
(18:18):
What's wrong with having children wear masks in school? Well,
if you're breathing in the toxins that your body is
trying to get rid of, how do surgeons do it?
That is a good question. There's been some new studies
that have come out, both by the CDC and by
even Duke University talking about masks being helpful, especially in
the school situation. I challenge anybody put a mask on
in five minutes later, smell that and think it's good
(18:40):
for me. There's science and then there's the smell test,
and you're going with the smell Testy. What are some
of the ways kids suffer when they have to wear masks?
I think breathing. I've done a little bit of research
about the carbon the ox side that people were saying
is an issue now with the mask. Wearing a mask
helps stop the spread of COVID in setting is like
a school, but they they're outside like right now. I mean,
(19:02):
I mean this is a kind of example. There's kids
out there playing and stuff. Well, we're outside right now
when you go inside. Isn't it beneficial to wear a
mask if you're close to someone? Uh? No, No, I don't.
I mean, I don't think they're the science as it
is helpful to wear a mask so it doesn't spread
when you're close proximity indoors. Yeah, yeah, I don't think
(19:25):
I mean because they're oh, I don't know. I just yeah,
And it isn't sore. So some people are bewildered by science,
both the practice and the word. But maybe scary images
like full I s U S would have an impact
wearing a mask. What's the harm? Well, for kids, the
(19:46):
harm is they can't gauge emotional awareness of other kids.
They don't see the facial expressions. Do you think not
being able to seek people's lower halves of face outweighs
the dangers that COVID might posed to kids and communities. Well,
the dangerous are what you think they are. The icy
us here are full. Yeah, but how many positive tests
(20:09):
in all of North Carolina have died? How many are sick?
The ones in the I C you are pretty sick? Yeah? Many.
I sees three times in the last year and a
half with my wife and have questions the nurses and doctors.
You have us full of people suffering from COVID, right
is that truth? Are they just being the diagnosis on paper.
(20:32):
I've walked through the hospitals. I video taped inside the
hospitals and guess what it is not full of COVID platis.
Now I'm worried about COVID and security measures at North
Carolina hospitals. Like so many of these school board battles,
it was never about just one thing, but more of
a general area of grievances. Oh my god, as governor
here that thinks it's okay to have CRT in the classroom,
(20:55):
the focus on agitating and not indoctrinating our children here
in North Carolina. No, CRT. That's ridiculous self. We're saving
the kids from all that's going on with CRT critical
race theory here in North Carolina. They don't need to
learn about racism in school. No where are they going
to learn about racism? Most walking past one of the
tobacco fields. Well, no, not walking past the tobacco field,
(21:18):
so you know the spot like that. It was hard
to sum up the outrage of that afternoon. There were
many thoughtful political statements being made, but looking around, it
was difficult to miss the real catchphrase of the day.
I don't co parent with the government. Well, you don't
want to compare with the government. Don't get pregnant, Texas.
There we go, okay, pregnant anywhere your kids go to
(21:39):
private school, enroll in public schools. Isn't that kind of
co parenting with the government. No, it isn't, because you
know why, we have a Board of education. We also
elect to our officials. Are we get to have a voice, right,
so you work with the government we do in parenting decisions. Yeah,
you're in public schools, you do kind of compare it
with the government in that regard, I guess yeah, if
(22:00):
you want to say, my taxes pay for that, yeah,
but you're given about your child tax credit ry. This
crowd that was ready to fight for what they believed
in was using the power of democracy that was bestowed
upon all of us by our founding fathers. Did you
vote for school board? No? No, I don't even vote.
(22:22):
You don't even vote. You could vote for somebody who
reflects your values. I could vote, You're right, yeah, but
that's a hassle. Take the time to do what I'm sorry.
But at the end of the day, they saw this
as a fighter gets something much more disturbing than kids
face coverings. It's terrible for them to wear masks. Absolutely,
it's just absolutely terrible. It's of slavery. Basically, wearing a
(22:44):
mask a sign of slavery. I discovered in my research
also that Satanis stands six ft apart. They wear masks
during the rituals. Who does Satanist Satanists six rituals, that's
six wear masks. I don't know, it is a coincidence.
I don't know Satanism as well. Where war would satan
are we doing? I think we're winning good some good news.
(23:07):
I have no no fears, no fears, but a healthy
belief in Satanism and it's an affecting the COVID. Absolutely,
thank you so much for that, Jordan. All right, when
we come back, Jason Isbele is joining me on the show,
so don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
My guest tonight is Grammy Award winning singer, songwriters and
(23:29):
musician Jason Isbell. He's here to talk about his new
cover album, how he's handling COVID at his concerts, and
why he loves Georgia. Jason, Welcome to the show. Jever,
thanks for having me. It's so good to actually have you.
I mean, it's been a while since I saw you
physically in personal I feel like I saw you virtually
and now you're here, you know, mano or mano, I
(23:50):
saw you virtually too. It was it was actually through
the lockdown. It was nice to watch you in like
your home setting. Like, yeah, I enjoy I enjoyed those.
I appreciate them, and thank you very much. How's your daughter,
by the way, she's good, she's six, she says, hello. Yeah,
she's still in love with you. I appreciate as it waned,
and you know, that's all I look for in life,
(24:10):
is I like, how much do little children like you
in like a good wave on TV and stuff that works.
I mean, work for the Beatles, who worked for you know,
kids love the true great. So I think you're on
your way. Let's talk about the music. You know, you're
getting back out on the road again. Now you've got
a brand new album, which is it seems like just
like a love letter essentially to the state of Georgia, right,
(24:33):
Georgia Blue. And and it's if I understand it correctly,
it's it's covers of like famous songs about Georgia in
some way, shape or form. But first of all, why
the album? And then like, why did you choose to
make it the way that you made it? Well, I
was watching the election presidential election, and I saw there
was a good chance that Georgia was going to go blue.
(24:55):
And I was very excited. And I know, like, you're
not supposed to eat like pledges excitedly. You're not supposed
to make promises on Twitter when you're excited. But I thought,
if Georgia goes blue, I'll make a record of my
favorite Georgia songs, I'll donate all the proceeds to to
voting organizations in the state of Georgia and uh and
(25:16):
it did. And it was great for me because then
it's like, oh, I get an excuse to make a
covers album because I'm a songwriter and I'm supposed to
go in with all these songs written and I got
to play them for the band, and it's terrifying because
I don't know if there's any good yet, and you know,
the band hears them and then we record them. And
this was nothing like that, because it was like, I
can take these songs that I love, R E. M songs,
(25:36):
glad this night, notice reading James Brown, you know, Cat Power,
Indigo Girls, all these songs that I know already are
great songs going in and just go in and work
the machines and have fun with the bands. I've always
wonder this when when you're making like a cover so
you wanted to covers album with the cover album, covers album,
covers album. Yeah, I'm just learning new things every day
(25:56):
and it's probably like overseas, it's probably a cover album. Yeah,
I think we were rugg it's the same. Yes, Yeah,
we we said cover album when I was growing up,
and and then your name as well. Some people say Isabel,
you say is I say? And even in Texas there
are is Bill's who will correct me on how I
(26:19):
but I'm misable, Yeah, because I've said Isabel before and
you didn't correct me. No, I don't. I don't correct people, uh,
you know myself, because it's like, get creative with it.
Doesn't bother me. Let her let Himan never said it right.
I was on his show so many times. You never
said it right. We told him what it was. I
know I'm gonna. I mean, in everyone's defensive is I
s b E l L? It looks like is bail?
(26:39):
It really does. So how did he become his bull?
I don't know. Probably because we're from Alabama and sometimes
we mispronounced something. I mean, the town where I grew up,
the closest city was Muscle Shoals, and they spelled it
like muscle. Even though they meant it like a muscle,
they spelled it like a muscle. And it's in North Alabama,
(27:01):
so it's nowhere near the coast, so everybody's always can okay, okay,
that makes okay. So Cover's album Jason Isabel b e
l L. Yes, I like this. You see, we're getting
to know each other. We are this. This is good,
um to. You were one of the first artists who
came out and put pressure on not just the fans
but on the venues to say, hey, guys, we can
(27:22):
do the shows, but let's do it in the safest
way possible. You know, we've got to get people vaccinated
and people or at least have to get tested before
they come to the shows. And at first you've got
some pushback, but then now like venues have jumped on board.
You know, the biggest promoters have jumped on It's becoming
the industry standard. It seems like a risky move to
make initially, but you felt really strongly about it. I did, yeah,
And you know there were others who were doing it
(27:43):
at the same time, some people who did it before
I did it. Um But it was the right thing
to me. And you know, I got into this business,
in this job because I wanted to enjoy my life,
and this was the thing that I loved doing the most.
And I worked hard for a long time and got
real lucky and finally got to the point where I
don't feel like I'm going to work when I get
(28:04):
up on stage to do my job. But if I'm
up there worried about people getting sick in the audience
and maybe people dying because they came to that show,
and calling somebody not enjoying my job, and I don't
want to do it that way. You know, it shouldn't
have come down to us. It shouldn't come down to entertainers.
It shouldn't come down to venues or promoters. You know
my opinion, there should have been leadership from the top.
(28:24):
We shouldn't have had to step out and say, you know,
I'm gonna do this. But were you? Were you worried
though that you would alienate some of your fans, will
lose people would say like, oh, Jason, why are you
forcing me to get vaccinated? Why are you buying into
the way You worried about that at all? No, I
have spent a lot of years trying to run people
off using like my Twitter, you know, so when this
(28:46):
day came finally, it's like the ones who are left
around are gonna go along like that. And I'm lucky,
you know, I'm lucky to have a fan base that
are open minded to things like this that are into
stuff like science and you know, and so it wasn't
as big a risk for me, and I understand for
some other artists it would be a bigger risk. But
I'll spent years sort of proning this, cultivating this fan
(29:09):
base by saying things that I knew would a fan,
a few of them at a time, and I think
we've built a pretty nice little core of people who
want to do the right thing. Okay, well I'll tell
you this, man, Um, you always make amazing music. The
reason behind the album is is pretty fun. I love
that it was just a Twitter you know, over promising
(29:30):
on Twitter and then delivering. You guys, people don't do
by the way, they don't deliver. People say a lot
of things on Twitter if this happens, I'll do this,
and then you were like, no, I will, I'll make
the album if this happens, and then you made the album.
You got to build a Twitter account people can trust, Trevor.
I pretty supported. Congratulations on the new album. Thank congratulations
on getting back on the road. And please tell your
(29:50):
daughter I said hi, Well, thanks Trevor, seeing you man. Uh.
Jason Nisable and the four hundred Units Georgia Blue benefit
album will be out October fift We're gonna take a
quick break, but we'll be right back after this. Well
that's our show for tonight, but before we go, don't forget.

Watch The Daily Show weeknights eleven cent too learned Comedy
Central in stream fool episodes anytime on Paramount Plus. This
(30:57):
has been a Comedy Central podcast
You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey, what's going on, everybody?
I'm Trevor Noah, and this is The Daily Show. I'm
so excited because you know, we're in a new studio,
we're switching things up, we're playing around with new ideas,
and tonight we've got a brand new musical sidekick by
the name of Jason Isbell. Everybody, Wow, this is exciting.
What's going on? Jason? I'm excited to be here, Trevor. Oh, Man,
(00:23):
you're excited. I'm excited. Superstar Huh. All those Grammys, all
those skills on the guitar, and now you're here with me. Man,
We're gonna have so much fun because we're gonna be
doing the classic thing where I'm gonna tell jokes and
then on the punchline you're gonna do like a little
riff what I phone final Ah, just like that. There's
(00:46):
gonna be so much fun. All right. Uh, this is
a new era for the show people. I'm excited. Jason isabile,
Trevor no what a team. All right, let's kick things
off with the latest in technology. If you haven't flown
for a while because of the pandemic, well planes might
look a little different the next time you bought one.
Would you fly on a plane with no windows? Well,
a company and organ hope So Rose and Aviation is
(01:07):
showing off their Maverick project. It's a concept of a
windowless airplane cabin. Instead of real windows, there'd be screens
that you see right there. They look just like windows,
showing off virtual views of outside. For instance, if you're
flying over a mountain range, you would see the mountains
and information about them on a screen. Right now, the
concept applies to only private jets, but the company says
(01:28):
next year they'll show off a version for commercial airliners.
They're replacing plane windows with screens. Come on, guys, if
I want to see boring pictures of nature, I'll just
look at my screen saver. That was the That was
the punchline. I'm sorry. I thought it was going to
(01:51):
be like something more like if if I want to
see pictures of boring things in nature, I'll just look
at a white woman's instagram. That would be like a
little little funnier. Yeah, if you played the guitar off
of mine, people probably would have blocked as well, because
like the riff actually helps people. But it was cool
(02:14):
your joke was cool. I think we both had um anyway,
and hey, um was this even necessary? Like? How about
instead of replacing the windows, you Airlines replaced the in
flat meals with something we actually want to eat? Or like,
how about maybe if we say, like making the bathrooms
(02:35):
bigger and those doors are so small, I don't even
have room to sit down when I pee. Okay, okay, okay,
that's why I flat Spirit Airlines. The whole plane is
the bathroom. No Spirit Airlines is my thing. No, No
(02:57):
Spirit Airline. No, don't, this isn't go stop stop laughing.
This is a place of business. This is a place
of business. You can't come here and play. This isn't
gonna work coming to you from a Hartno time for
(03:20):
the most important place, honor. It's the Daily here tonight
American throws out the loco. Jordan goes to school and
Jason is bound. This is the Daily Show with fever.
All right, let's kick things off with the coronavirus vaccine.
(03:41):
It's like a condom, but for your lungs. By now,
we all know that people need two shots of the
FISA and MADERNA vaccines in order to have full immunity.
But recently both companies said that people can actually get
better than full immunity with a third shot. So yeah,
I guess COVID shots are like iPhones. Now you think
you're all upgraded, some latest and greatest, and then a
(04:03):
few months later they have a new vaccine with an
extra camera. So now there's a question about who should
be able to get that third shots. Breaking overnight, the
FDA authorizing Viser's COVID vaccine booster, making millions of Americans
immediately eligible to receive a third shot. Among those who
can get the extra dose of protection people sixty five
(04:25):
and older, those at high risk for severe illness, and
people who are frequently exposed to COVID at their jobs
like healthcare workers, school teachers, and grocery store employees. The
third Viser dose must come at least six months after
the second shot. An unknown number of people have already
gotten unauthorized booster shots with little oversight to stop them.
(04:46):
Dr Peter Grinspoon, a primary care physician, says he's been
bombarded by patients who want an extra dose. A lot
of people are asking, how could I portray myself as immunocompromised,
and you know it puts you in a little bit
with an awkward position. Man, this country is living in
two different worlds, right. One side is doing everything they
can to avoid getting the vaccine, and the other side
(05:09):
is going to their doctor like, can you give me aids?
Come on, do something. I want to get that booster shot,
Come on, doc. And what's funny to me is Americans
are debating whether or not they should get their third shot. Meanwhile,
people in many countries around the world still haven't gotten
their first shot. And hey, I'm not hating you know,
I just feel like, maybe to make Americans aware of
what's going on globally, every time someone in America gets
(05:30):
a booster shot, they should have to do it in
front of an African guy. Oh yeah, back for thirds?
Uh no, no, go ahead, No, no no, I'm fine, all wait,
I'll wait. No, I enjoy it, enjoy its super immune
look at you. Uh. But let's move on now to Halloween,
the holiday when goblins and vampires find out what cultural
appropriation feels like. The spooky celebration is just one month away,
(05:51):
which means it's time for the nation's posters to stop
asking which political party should kill and eat the other
and start asking questions like this trend been this morning
some spooky news. The belief in ghosts is up over
the last four decades. Percent of Americans believe in ghosts
today compared to only eleven forty years ago. Well, there's
(06:13):
also the belief that ghosts appear because something needs to
be corrected, like not having a proper burial or a
murder suspect. Yeah, this is spooky, Okay, has still not
been caught. Yeah, of course more people believe in ghosts.
COVID has made a lot more of them. And as
for the idea that ghosts are sticking around these days
(06:34):
to correct something people, that is so ridiculous. I mean,
the reason ghosts stick around is because they need to
finish all the TV shows they were watching. That's what
I'm gonna do. Heaven can wait. When I'm dead, I'll
finally have time to see how better court soul ends.
And look between Trump's Russian agent and the vaccine as
(06:54):
a microchip. I feel like ghosts almost the least crazy
thing that people believe. Now. You know, actually personally wouldn't
mind having a ghost to talk to. Ghost too sensible
and they care about the environment. That's why they always
turning off your lights and stuff. He'll save your electric
bull Although, if ghosts really are among us, I feel
(07:14):
bad for them. I mean, because this must be the
most boring time to be a ghost. Right. People's lives
are really trash? Right now? What are you watching? Okay?
Now Todds eating? No, Todds poooping. Now he's done pooping,
But he's just sitting there scrolling through Twitter. Yo, is
(07:35):
there a hell I can go too? This is some bullshit,
but let's move on now to our top story, the border.
It's the velvet rope around Club America, and right now
the line to get in the club is a total
ship show. This morning our closest look yet at what's
become the nation's newest border flash point. It's a place
(07:57):
where thousands of desperate Haitians wait and hope their journey
doesn't in here. Who stays, who goes? At? How much
longer can they wait? Thousands of migrants living in makeshift huts,
sleeping in the dirt, waiting their turn to get processed
by US immigration authorities. Patient migrants scrambling to find their
place in line, and arguments break out on the tarmac
(08:21):
as US deportation flights ramp up in an effort to
clear out the camp in Del Rio in the next
nine to ten days. Just outside the bridge camp there
are state troopers lined up as far as the eye
can see in either direction. Here the point is to
build a wall of vehicles to prevent anyone from slipping
into the US. Oh Man, Donald Trump must be so
(08:44):
mad that Biden has a cooler border wall than he
could have a come up with. He's probably sitting there like,
how is this possible? Hey, turned my wall into a transformer.
How didn't know you could do that. It's also gonna
be really funny when one of those agents forgets the
accas in the car, Hi, that migrants driving away with
my border wall. But yes, basically what happened is that
(09:05):
thousands of Haitian migrants all suddenly showed up at the
border trying to get into the U. S. And I
know right now a lot of people are asking Haitians, Dude,
I didn't know America shared a border with Haiti. That
doesn't make any sense. Well, it turns out when you
hear the details, it's complicated, but it actually does make sense.
The mass migration of Haitians to the U. S has
(09:26):
been years in the making. Many moved to Central and
South America after the two thousand ten earthquake in Haiti,
but poor economic conditions and false information have been making
the journey to the U. S. Border. Three years ago,
I left Haiti. I sold my lands to go to Chile.
In Chile, we found out Biden said we could enter,
so we entered. We are very concerned that Haitians who
(09:49):
are taking this irregular migration path are receiving false information
that the border is open or the temporary protected status
is available. That is false information that our borders are
not open, and people should not make the dangerous journey.
If you come to the United States illegally, you will
(10:10):
be returned. This is really messed up. A lot of
these people came to the US because they heard that
the border was just open, which is not what I mean.
Can you blame them for being confused? Like America's immigration
policies are super schizophrenic, you know, because Bush was like,
we need a path to citizenship for illegals, and then
(10:32):
Obama was like, we're a nation of immigrants, but I
will deport your ass and then Trump came in. It
was like, you know, me My thing is the world,
that beautiful world. Some say even Jericho that walls as weird,
And honestly, Biden is just adding to the confusion because
how are migrants supposed to know that when Biden says
stuff like this, a nice where we lived by the
(10:53):
values that embraces immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, does not slam
the door although fleeing persecution, violence and oppression. What he
really means is, I'm rolling back some of Trump's policies,
but the one that lets me deport asylum seekers during
a pandemic, I'm keeping that one. So Biden isn't just
(11:16):
letting everyone in. Many are being allowed to stay and
apply for asylum, but thousands are being flown back to Haiti.
So I get how this could be confusing. And also
if any of those Haitians had been watching Fox News,
well that's probably another reason that they thought now was
a really good time to come. If Joe Biden's elected president,
I thought, I think the only thing that will be
open will be the jails and the borders. The Biden
(11:38):
administration has actually actually been crystal clear and their messages
are borders are open and come on in the bad
administration has an open border policy. The Democrats today support
open borders. You know, if you're a terroristments coming to
the country, got two miles open border. It's as if
there's a bad signal that has gone off in Del Rio, Texas.
(12:00):
Everyone come here because the borders wide open. Wait wait, wait, hold,
hold on, a bat signal is attracting all of these migrants.
I mean that would only make sense if all the
migrants were Batman, in which case, hell yeah, we should
let all those guys in who wouldn't want America to
have ten thousand more Batman and then we could finally
stop all this penguin crime. And you know, Fox News
(12:22):
can blame Biden, but they're also part of spreading this
false message. I mean, if people see the stuff on TV,
they don't know Fox News is bullshit. I'm sorry, opinion.
They just see news. But the border is not open.
It's never been open. And because it's not open, thousands
of Haitians are now meeting America's border patrol head on
(12:44):
this morning. The White House is seeking more information on
what it is calling horrific footage at the US Mexico border.
A number of agents on horseback can be seen trying
to keep migrants from crossing into the country while threatening
them with what appears to be horses, reins, or rope,
including families like this one holding a baby. When the
agents get dangerously close as they tried to pass, the
(13:06):
agent said this to that country, because holy shit, did
you hear what that guy said? He's like a Facebook
comment riding a horse. And look, I get that your
job is to secure the border, but I didn't know
that hurling racist insults at people is part of the job.
(13:28):
You know. That's like if part of a T s
A Agents show was to roast people as they passed
through security. Excuse me, sir, I'm gonna need you to
take off the shoes and burn them in the trash
because those things an ugly mess. Ship like walking around
with those man, Oh those some nasty answer. Yeah you're good,
come on, come on, go on, you're good man, you're good.
All right? Yeah, you got that out? Take your laptop out.
Oh and another thing, can we stop involving horses and
(13:51):
all the ship that we do as human beings? They
don't want to be involved, right, they have nothing against immigrants,
but now they're in the newspapers too. They've just been
cursed with very rightable bodies. I feel like this has
been a tough monthful horses. First America stole their worm medicine,
and now they're getting canceled. It's not fair now. Needless
to say, these images have stirred up a lot of blowback,
(14:12):
and this isn't the usual Republicans versus Democrats think no, no, no.
This time the Biden administration is getting flak from its
own team. I'm pissed. I'm unhappy, and I'm not just
unhappy with the cowboys who were running down Haitians and
using their reins to whip them. I'm happy with the administration.
(14:38):
We are following the Trump policy. What the hell are
we doing here? What we witness takes us back hundreds
of years. What we witnessed was worse than what we
witnessed in slavery. Cowboys with their reins again whipping black people. Hey,
(15:00):
reactions enter the water. You know a black woman is
angry when she's willing to come out in the rain
and risk her hair to tell you how she feels.
And I understand her frustration with Biden. You know, because
Democrats promised that they would handle the border with more humanity,
but now it looks like a dude ranch run by
(15:20):
Tucker Carlson. I will say, though, I will say I
disagree with Anti Maxine and saying this was worse than slavery.
I feel like that line we should only ever say
for things that are worse than slavery. And like, don't
get me wrong, I get where anti Maxine is coming from. Right,
You've got a white guy up on a horse, he's
(15:41):
swinging his reins at a bunch of black people. Those
are some of the main ingredients of slavery. You know.
You see that stuff together in one place and that's
where your mind goes. But it's not worse than slavery.
It can happen to you. Like I remember going to
a kid's birthday party where there was a pony ride
and I was like, whoa is this slavery? No tram,
It's Jimmy's birthday party. Okay, but if you make me
(16:04):
pick that cotton candy, I'm calling my mom. So look,
as much as people would like to solve this issue
in a tweet or a TikTok video, the truth is,
the ugly truth is immigration is one of the most
complicated issues to figure out, and it becomes exponentially more
difficult when fifteen thousand people show up on your doorstep.
(16:27):
I mean I can barely handle it when five of
my friends show up unannounced. An America may not be
able to fix this immigration policies overnight, but what it
can try to do. The least it can try to
do is remember that, yes, you are enforcing your border,
but at the very least you can treat the humans
you're dealing with with the humanity we all deserve, all right.
(16:50):
When we come back, Jordan Clapper goes back to school.
You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the
Daily Show. School has started in America, but many parents
are not happy with the new COVID rules their children
have to obey. So we sent Jordan Cleppa down to
hear these parents out. In another episode of Jordan Clepper
(17:13):
Fingers the Pulse, I'm in Johnston County, North Carolina, marching
with anti mass protesters to what it's become America's new
thunderdoor school board meetings. North Carolina parents are desperate to
get their kids back into schools, but with packed I
(17:35):
c U s and COVID cases and children four times
what they were last year. New studies in the CDC
are recommending mass as a way to keep in person learning.
Bud Pack school board meetings and new Stars of the
Right are upset because putting out a piece of cloth
is just too much. I'm against all mandates, So from there,
I don't think. Where it's masks, where it's vaccinations, I'm
(17:56):
against it. All masks will never protect Americas. Masks don't work.
My child was suffering after wearing his mask for so long.
What kind of issues has he had? He's had acne
on his face from you know, the mask covering and
not letting his skin breathe has he had COVID, but
he has that acne. Yes, So have you had to choose?
(18:18):
What's wrong with having children wear masks in school? Well,
if you're breathing in the toxins that your body is
trying to get rid of, how do surgeons do it?
That is a good question. There's been some new studies
that have come out, both by the CDC and by
even Duke University talking about masks being helpful, especially in
the school situation. I challenge anybody put a mask on
in five minutes later, smell that and think it's good
(18:40):
for me. There's science and then there's the smell test,
and you're going with the smell Testy. What are some
of the ways kids suffer when they have to wear masks?
I think breathing. I've done a little bit of research
about the carbon the ox side that people were saying
is an issue now with the mask. Wearing a mask
helps stop the spread of COVID in setting is like
a school, but they they're outside like right now. I mean,
(19:02):
I mean this is a kind of example. There's kids
out there playing and stuff. Well, we're outside right now
when you go inside. Isn't it beneficial to wear a
mask if you're close to someone? Uh? No, No, I don't.
I mean, I don't think they're the science as it
is helpful to wear a mask so it doesn't spread
when you're close proximity indoors. Yeah, yeah, I don't think
(19:25):
I mean because they're oh, I don't know. I just yeah,
And it isn't sore. So some people are bewildered by science,
both the practice and the word. But maybe scary images
like full I s U S would have an impact
wearing a mask. What's the harm? Well, for kids, the
(19:46):
harm is they can't gauge emotional awareness of other kids.
They don't see the facial expressions. Do you think not
being able to seek people's lower halves of face outweighs
the dangers that COVID might posed to kids and communities. Well,
the dangerous are what you think they are. The icy
us here are full. Yeah, but how many positive tests
(20:09):
in all of North Carolina have died? How many are sick?
The ones in the I C you are pretty sick? Yeah? Many.
I sees three times in the last year and a
half with my wife and have questions the nurses and doctors.
You have us full of people suffering from COVID, right
is that truth? Are they just being the diagnosis on paper.
(20:32):
I've walked through the hospitals. I video taped inside the
hospitals and guess what it is not full of COVID platis.
Now I'm worried about COVID and security measures at North
Carolina hospitals. Like so many of these school board battles,
it was never about just one thing, but more of
a general area of grievances. Oh my god, as governor
here that thinks it's okay to have CRT in the classroom,
(20:55):
the focus on agitating and not indoctrinating our children here
in North Carolina. No, CRT. That's ridiculous self. We're saving
the kids from all that's going on with CRT critical
race theory here in North Carolina. They don't need to
learn about racism in school. No where are they going
to learn about racism? Most walking past one of the
tobacco fields. Well, no, not walking past the tobacco field,
(21:18):
so you know the spot like that. It was hard
to sum up the outrage of that afternoon. There were
many thoughtful political statements being made, but looking around, it
was difficult to miss the real catchphrase of the day.
I don't co parent with the government. Well, you don't
want to compare with the government. Don't get pregnant, Texas.
There we go, okay, pregnant anywhere your kids go to
(21:39):
private school, enroll in public schools. Isn't that kind of
co parenting with the government. No, it isn't, because you
know why, we have a Board of education. We also
elect to our officials. Are we get to have a voice, right,
so you work with the government we do in parenting decisions. Yeah,
you're in public schools, you do kind of compare it
with the government in that regard, I guess yeah, if
(22:00):
you want to say, my taxes pay for that, yeah,
but you're given about your child tax credit ry. This
crowd that was ready to fight for what they believed
in was using the power of democracy that was bestowed
upon all of us by our founding fathers. Did you
vote for school board? No? No, I don't even vote.
(22:22):
You don't even vote. You could vote for somebody who
reflects your values. I could vote, You're right, yeah, but
that's a hassle. Take the time to do what I'm sorry.
But at the end of the day, they saw this
as a fighter gets something much more disturbing than kids
face coverings. It's terrible for them to wear masks. Absolutely,
it's just absolutely terrible. It's of slavery. Basically, wearing a
(22:44):
mask a sign of slavery. I discovered in my research
also that Satanis stands six ft apart. They wear masks
during the rituals. Who does Satanist Satanists six rituals, that's
six wear masks. I don't know, it is a coincidence.
I don't know Satanism as well. Where war would satan
are we doing? I think we're winning good some good news.
(23:07):
I have no no fears, no fears, but a healthy
belief in Satanism and it's an affecting the COVID. Absolutely,
thank you so much for that, Jordan. All right, when
we come back, Jason Isbele is joining me on the show,
so don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
My guest tonight is Grammy Award winning singer, songwriters and
(23:29):
musician Jason Isbell. He's here to talk about his new
cover album, how he's handling COVID at his concerts, and
why he loves Georgia. Jason, Welcome to the show. Jever,
thanks for having me. It's so good to actually have you.
I mean, it's been a while since I saw you
physically in personal I feel like I saw you virtually
and now you're here, you know, mano or mano, I
(23:50):
saw you virtually too. It was it was actually through
the lockdown. It was nice to watch you in like
your home setting. Like, yeah, I enjoy I enjoyed those.
I appreciate them, and thank you very much. How's your daughter,
by the way, she's good, she's six, she says, hello. Yeah,
she's still in love with you. I appreciate as it waned,
and you know, that's all I look for in life,
(24:10):
is I like, how much do little children like you
in like a good wave on TV and stuff that works.
I mean, work for the Beatles, who worked for you know,
kids love the true great. So I think you're on
your way. Let's talk about the music. You know, you're
getting back out on the road again. Now you've got
a brand new album, which is it seems like just
like a love letter essentially to the state of Georgia, right,
(24:33):
Georgia Blue. And and it's if I understand it correctly,
it's it's covers of like famous songs about Georgia in
some way, shape or form. But first of all, why
the album? And then like, why did you choose to
make it the way that you made it? Well, I
was watching the election presidential election, and I saw there
was a good chance that Georgia was going to go blue.
(24:55):
And I was very excited. And I know, like, you're
not supposed to eat like pledges excitedly. You're not supposed
to make promises on Twitter when you're excited. But I thought,
if Georgia goes blue, I'll make a record of my
favorite Georgia songs, I'll donate all the proceeds to to
voting organizations in the state of Georgia and uh and
(25:16):
it did. And it was great for me because then
it's like, oh, I get an excuse to make a
covers album because I'm a songwriter and I'm supposed to
go in with all these songs written and I got
to play them for the band, and it's terrifying because
I don't know if there's any good yet, and you know,
the band hears them and then we record them. And
this was nothing like that, because it was like, I
can take these songs that I love, R E. M songs,
(25:36):
glad this night, notice reading James Brown, you know, Cat Power,
Indigo Girls, all these songs that I know already are
great songs going in and just go in and work
the machines and have fun with the bands. I've always
wonder this when when you're making like a cover so
you wanted to covers album with the cover album, covers album,
covers album. Yeah, I'm just learning new things every day
(25:56):
and it's probably like overseas, it's probably a cover album. Yeah,
I think we were rugg it's the same. Yes, Yeah,
we we said cover album when I was growing up,
and and then your name as well. Some people say Isabel,
you say is I say? And even in Texas there
are is Bill's who will correct me on how I
(26:19):
but I'm misable, Yeah, because I've said Isabel before and
you didn't correct me. No, I don't. I don't correct people, uh,
you know myself, because it's like, get creative with it.
Doesn't bother me. Let her let Himan never said it right.
I was on his show so many times. You never
said it right. We told him what it was. I
know I'm gonna. I mean, in everyone's defensive is I
s b E l L? It looks like is bail?
(26:39):
It really does. So how did he become his bull?
I don't know. Probably because we're from Alabama and sometimes
we mispronounced something. I mean, the town where I grew up,
the closest city was Muscle Shoals, and they spelled it
like muscle. Even though they meant it like a muscle,
they spelled it like a muscle. And it's in North Alabama,
(27:01):
so it's nowhere near the coast, so everybody's always can okay, okay,
that makes okay. So Cover's album Jason Isabel b e
l L. Yes, I like this. You see, we're getting
to know each other. We are this. This is good,
um to. You were one of the first artists who
came out and put pressure on not just the fans
but on the venues to say, hey, guys, we can
(27:22):
do the shows, but let's do it in the safest
way possible. You know, we've got to get people vaccinated
and people or at least have to get tested before
they come to the shows. And at first you've got
some pushback, but then now like venues have jumped on board.
You know, the biggest promoters have jumped on It's becoming
the industry standard. It seems like a risky move to
make initially, but you felt really strongly about it. I did, yeah,
And you know there were others who were doing it
(27:43):
at the same time, some people who did it before
I did it. Um But it was the right thing
to me. And you know, I got into this business,
in this job because I wanted to enjoy my life,
and this was the thing that I loved doing the most.
And I worked hard for a long time and got
real lucky and finally got to the point where I
don't feel like I'm going to work when I get
(28:04):
up on stage to do my job. But if I'm
up there worried about people getting sick in the audience
and maybe people dying because they came to that show,
and calling somebody not enjoying my job, and I don't
want to do it that way. You know, it shouldn't
have come down to us. It shouldn't come down to entertainers.
It shouldn't come down to venues or promoters. You know
my opinion, there should have been leadership from the top.
(28:24):
We shouldn't have had to step out and say, you know,
I'm gonna do this. But were you? Were you worried
though that you would alienate some of your fans, will
lose people would say like, oh, Jason, why are you
forcing me to get vaccinated? Why are you buying into
the way You worried about that at all? No, I
have spent a lot of years trying to run people
off using like my Twitter, you know, so when this
(28:46):
day came finally, it's like the ones who are left
around are gonna go along like that. And I'm lucky,
you know, I'm lucky to have a fan base that
are open minded to things like this that are into
stuff like science and you know, and so it wasn't
as big a risk for me, and I understand for
some other artists it would be a bigger risk. But
I'll spent years sort of proning this, cultivating this fan
(29:09):
base by saying things that I knew would a fan,
a few of them at a time, and I think
we've built a pretty nice little core of people who
want to do the right thing. Okay, well I'll tell
you this, man, Um, you always make amazing music. The
reason behind the album is is pretty fun. I love
that it was just a Twitter you know, over promising
(29:30):
on Twitter and then delivering. You guys, people don't do
by the way, they don't deliver. People say a lot
of things on Twitter if this happens, I'll do this,
and then you were like, no, I will, I'll make
the album if this happens, and then you made the album.
You got to build a Twitter account people can trust, Trevor.
I pretty supported. Congratulations on the new album. Thank congratulations
on getting back on the road. And please tell your
(29:50):
daughter I said hi, Well, thanks Trevor, seeing you man. Uh.

quick break, but we'll be right back after this. Well

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want?
