Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central, Wow, listening about It's the soul?
Did you just you do? Did you Hate Me? Show?
(00:35):
On Sara Silverman um Since this is my first night hosting, Like, yeah,
I'm a little nervous, So I did that thing where
you picture the audience naked, which is perfect because now
I'm nervous and horny. Now some of you might not
know who I am, so let me introduce myself in
(00:57):
the most daily showy way possible, using a right wing
talking head pundit montage rolling. Sarah Silverman is a complete
buffone and aggressively unfunny. He's a comedian. I'll find there's
anything funny actually about her, A vulgar comic who was
mostly famous for saying dirty words and a little girl boys.
She's a clown in her daily life, an absolute fool.
She is a jazzebel, diabolically dumb. She is a witch.
(01:20):
She's not funny. She is a god hating board boy
and like you hit here with a car, These writing
people really hate me. I mean, what am I gender
neutral bathroom over here? What am I Starbucks cup that
just says happy holidays over here? What am I a
grown woman? With an opinion. Oh yeah, that's probably all right.
(01:49):
There's a lot to talk about, so let's get right
into it with headlines. Let's kick things off with the
big Rihanna concert last night. She is so cool. She
did it right in the middle of a football game.
She didn't care, and she dropped some pretty exciting news overnight.
(02:09):
Rihanna making a surprise announcement the superstar revealing she's pregnant
with her second child in front of a packed stadium
during the Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show. Her rep
confirming her growing family to ABC News after she wowed
fans from a floating platform in the sky. That's right,
Rihanna revealed she was pregnant by bringing along all the
(02:31):
sperm that didn't make it, I mean, and of course,
of course the one that did m was it was
inside her. Seriously, did you see that? Pregnant? Women? Did
you see it? Rihanna just did a Super Bowl halftime show.
Will pregnant? And you want my seat on the subway?
(02:54):
Not anymore too, No way, the bar has been rais
But you know, I mean, thank you. But you know what, guys,
Rihanna isn't the only one who has a surprise announcement.
(03:14):
I just want everyone here to know that I have diarrhea.
Some people were surprised that Rihanna didn't bring out Kanye
West during all of the lights, but when you think
about it, it makes sense because there wasn't enough space
for her dancers to form a swastika. I can say
(03:35):
that because I'm a Nazi. It was it was really cool,
and I thought it was really cool that Rihanna did
the show way up on those platforms. But it was
a little bit risky because if you've been following the
news at all, this is not the time to be
in the sky. This weekend, the U S shot down
three flying objects over North American airspace, bringing the total
(03:58):
to four and just over week. Questions mounting after more
unidentified objects discovered over US and Canadian airspace. A third
mystery object in just three days shot down by a
US fighter jet over Lake Huron Sunday afternoon. Three incidents
in less than a week after that Chinese spy balloon
(04:19):
was shot down off the Carolina coast, but a senior
US official saying these three are different from that spine balloon.
The commander of NORAD said the last three objects were
similar in size and shape, and he declined to categorize
them as balloons, saying they were unable to determine how
they stay aloft. Now, when asked about the possibility of
(04:42):
alien activity, he would not rule anything out. You're not
rolling out aliens. I love how we're not ruling anything out,
but we're shooting everything down. Is it a kite as
it aliens? Is that the old man from up who cares?
(05:05):
We'll figure it out when we sift through the wreckage. Now.
The official explanation is that after the Chinese balloon last week,
the government adjusted the radars to make them more sensitive,
and once they did that, they realized there's all kinds
of ship flying up all the time everywhere. It's like,
you know when you start paying attention to what ingredients
(05:27):
are in your food and realize, like everything has guar
gum in it, and what's war gum gum? We don't
know what it is, but we're eating it. Baby. Audience
(05:49):
loves returned to Camela too, and you might be asking,
where is space force in all of this? Isn't dealing
with UFOs like their say, But apparently it's actually more complicate,
hated than that. Because some of this stuff they're finding
is too low in the atmosphere for space forces jurisdiction.
They're in this like um, this weird in between zone
(06:11):
between the sky and space. It's like it's like the
Earth's taint. Really, what we need is a taint force
protect this this in between area. This this no man's land.
It's a very sensitive zone. It can get a little
(06:35):
hairy at times. Working there can stink, sure, but taint
force will be there when the ship goes down. Moving
on to a crazy story, the makers of M and
(06:55):
M's were find fourteen thousand dollars after two workers fell
into a vat of chocolate. So everyone be on the
lookout for the newest Eminem's flavor, human flesh. And the
good news is when those guys fell in, they found
the bones of Augustus. Get some nice closure for the
(07:21):
Glupe family. The truth is that a lot of jobs
are dangerous, and that's why one new idea going around
in some states is particularly odd. Some state legislatures, looking
to fill a need in the labor market, are considering
child workers as a solution. Lawmakers in Iowa and Minnesota
introduced bills last month to loosen labor regulations around age
(07:43):
and workplace safety. Minnesota's bill would allow sixteen and seventeen
year olds to work construction jobs, and the Iowa measure
aims to allow fourteen and fifteen year olds to work
certain positions in the mining, meatpacking, and logging industries. The
Iowa proposal would also shield businesses from civil liability if
the youth worker gets sick, injured, or killed on the job.
(08:07):
We're doing great, everybody. They're gonna let fourteen year olds
work in mining, logging, and meat packing. Those are like
the three most dangerous jobs. What they didn't have any
openings in the Ukrainian army. You know they'll be able
to fill these positions. To all it would take for
teenagers to work in a mine is like a viral
TikTok called the black Lung challenge. And these lawmakers, they
(08:37):
know it's dangerous because they're shielding the companies if the
kids get killed on the job. On the right side,
they will have Oompa loompa's come out every time kid dies.
Little little Wonka heavy today. And I'm sure this will
surprise you, but the lawmakers sponsoring these bills call themselves
pro life of course they are. If women aren't forced
(08:59):
to have babies, who gonna pack this goddamn meat. For
more on this story, we turned to Roy Wood Jr. Roy,
(09:20):
how can these people possibly allow this? It's outrageous, Sarah.
Child labor has almost no place in this country. Almost
You gotta have some child labor, got some child You're
not expensive, it is to raise a kid. You gotta
(09:41):
buy clothes, You gotta feed him two or three times
a day. You gotta go to the doctor, make sure
all their balls ain't jacked up. Ben, you gotta take
them to the dentist. You get to teach your teeth
ain't nothing but mouthbones. Why could doctors gotta pay for childcare?
Assuming you can find childcare. Because your last babysitter be
scared of cold, she moved back to Canada. Now you
gotta pay for after schoolcare, then after schoolcare, then the
(10:04):
summer camp. Because the school years only nine months of
the year, but the one years all year. Where does
it stop? These kids have got to pay their own weight. Sure,
but like small things like working at McDonald's or babysitting
or mowing lawns, what's the difference between mowing the lawn
(10:28):
and chainsaw in a red wood. It's all y'all. Bo
a tree ain't number tall grass. That's all right. These
are the world's most dangerous jobs. You really want children
doing them? Latter wasn't want to grow up faster. We're
just letting them. Why can't I have a driver's license? Said? Okay, okay,
(10:51):
you never driver's license for a funklift drive. Get the
palette the pallette round. Okay, call me naive, but Shilton
isn't a time for work. It's a time for children
to learn and grow and and explore the world in
their wonderment. And yeah, I agree with that until he's
(11:11):
a teenager. Teenagers are not exploring the world in wonderment.
They throwing eggs at my house. He's punks need to
be put to work. They got too much time on
their hands. You're ruining them my paint, Kevin, I'll whoop
your ass. Punks like Kevin. Put them, put them on
the factory line. Let him de bone a hundred chickens
(11:32):
an hour, you bitch. Let's see my fingers hurt. Yeah,
that's hard work. Roy. Just because you're mad at your
neighbor's kid doesn't mean they deserve dangerous work conditions. They
could lose fingers, Sarah, how many fingers you really need?
How thin these the stars right here? You think you
(11:53):
need these things? You need this one in case you're
getting married. But you know what was the last time
you use your peaky? The peaky just freeloading on all
the rest of the thing is it's the apple baby
at her hand. These kids is young enough. These things
will grow back. They got time. I'm I'm sorry, but
there is no place in our society for child labor.
(12:13):
It is a scourge of humanity that we have luckily
moved past, and it brings nothing positive to the world.
Let me ask you a question. You got an I phone,
Um I do. Who do you think makes it? I
(12:34):
mean Apple, Sarah, Chinese kids. So hand over your I
phone unless you want to be a hypocrite. I'm going
to choose hypocrite. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Now,
if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go sign up my
neighbor's kid for the coal mines. Just a pretty very
(12:57):
good pact even I'm coming making. Okay, I guess the
most important moment can we go? You know this past
(13:28):
weekend was the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
If you haven't heard about it, it's because you're sexist.
It's an important day to honor the women who have
made contributions to humanity's understanding of science, which is why
I wanted to take this moment to honor one woman
whose life hasn't received the recognition it deserves. When you
(13:49):
ask people about the greatest female scientists of the twentieth century,
they'll give you the same names, Very Curry, Jane Goodall,
Octavia Spencer, but they always leave out the most important person.
Dr Raquel Incidia, the world's first female mad scientist in
(14:17):
the field of evil. Doctor Insidia was a relentless pioneer.
She put Genghis Khan's brain into a chimp. She made
Kentucky disappear, all of it for three years. No Kentucky.
She put a man on the moon as punishment. His
body is still open. Unfortunately, in the nineteen fifties, the
(14:38):
mad sciences were dominated by men, so doctor Insidia faced
a lot of sexism. One time, she shrunk the Prime
Minister of Latvia and trapped him in a jar. They
gave her a two million dollar ransom. The next week,
a male mad scientist kidnaps the same prime minister. They
give him four million dollars and a guest spawn. It's old,
(15:02):
same prime minister, same jar. You tell me how that's
not sexism. She was always at a disadvantage. It's hard
to build a laboratory in a volcano when you're not
allowed to open your own credit card. The bank was
always saying, where's mr. Doctor Insidia. My debut as a
matte scientist was when I terrorized Boston with a radioactive megaphone.
(15:28):
What I didn't tell anyone was that the megaphone was
doctor Insidia's idea. I told her it was a stupid idea,
and then I stole it. I feel bad about the
whole thing, but it launched my career, even hand me
on that sell of her. Doctor Insidia assembled body parts
(15:49):
into an unholy monster. The first thing it did when
it came to life was asked her to get it
a cup of coffee. Of course, everything got worse after
just she had her baby well clothed her baby, Doctor
Insidia was asked to leave the Evil Alliance headquarters because
they were uncomfortable with her breastfeeding. Look in our defense
(16:13):
breast grading is gross. If Doctor Insidia had lived long enough,
I think she would have become a household name. Unfortunately,
she died young. Some people think her heart gave out
from all the sexism. Others think it was from the
heart stopping race she accidentally fired of herself. Me. I
(16:33):
think it was a little bit of both. She was
truly a revolutionary, but schools refused to teach about her work.
Why not? Why not? I suppose because of all of
her crimes. But it's all right. Her legacy lives on.
She's the one who taught me about girl power. Literally,
(16:54):
you can power steam engine with girls. Ye see Doctor
in City. All right, stay tuned because when we come back,
the hilarious Liz Win said, we'll be joining me on
the show Daily Show. My guest tonight is the co
(17:24):
creator of The Daily Show and the founder of Abortion
Access Front, which uses humor to destigmatize abortion and expose
those fighting against reproductive rights. Please welcome, liz Win said, Wow,
(17:58):
you guys spruced up the place since last time out here.
I did doing pretty good. I mean it's come along.
I mean I would say so if you watch some
of the old episodes, you could see light switches, and
you really created this whole idea of already need you know,
(18:22):
I mean, did you know how groundbreaking that would be
at the time, Well, I knew that the media was
consistently disappointing, so it seemed like low hanging fruit, especially
when the show caught on and instead of the media
(18:44):
being like, you know, maybe we should really be really
investigating stories, they were like funny graphics. That's what the
public they stole the wrong the paint. So you founded
abortion access fright dide do you see this as a
(19:05):
kind of a natural evolution from the Daily Show for you, Well,
because they explain what it is, but they deal with
abortion with humor. Yeah, I mean the truth is, whether
it was this show, whether it was air, American radio,
wherever I went, it's like knowing that you can expose
hypocrisy with humor and knowing that done well, you can
(19:29):
make change. It kind of was at natural illution because
no one was talking about abortion. People siloed it. They
weren't talking about it, and so the reason I created
it was because I wanted to speak truth to power. Also,
if everybody felt freaked out when Rob Wade fell, like
what do I did all you feel like what do
I do? I wanted to give people an answer to
(19:52):
that question. So with Abortion Access we decided what we
want to do is create programs that folks can jump into.
Will meet where you are if you have ten minutes
an hour to give. We have fun things in the streets.
We can help you legislatively you don't. We have this
great program called Operations Save Abortion. It's pretty simple. It's
a five part series. Get together your friends, do it
(20:12):
and learn how you can actually do more than just
march because that just feels like you're an anger fluffer
at that point, right, where's the really anger fluffer? So
you know, I feel like people really want to get
involved in so with us, it's like, I mean, we
just watched the super Bowl a hundred million dollar ads
by people who are funding anti abortion garbage, and we're
having big sales to try to get people to get services. Right.
(20:38):
I'm not gonna say you should donate, but you should don't.
So you started Abortion Access Front also known as Abortion
a F. Yes. Um, we are very cool shirts if
you want to really go in hard. So you you
founded that in Yeah, what did Liz winstead In think
(21:03):
Abortion Rights would be in well, I mean, Liz Wins
we kind of lightly started this and you were there
in like because I knew it was gonna get worse,
you know, I mean, these alarmed forever because it was
happening in the States and nobody seemed to understand state politics.
(21:24):
Nobody understood that. Like the reason Roevie Wade fell is
because an abortion case in Mississippi made it to the
Supreme Court. Now, if you don't think Mississippi should be
deciding how you live your reproductive life, then you've had
to get your ship together and start paying attention. And
so that for me, it was always that and I
(21:48):
mean I will say this and I we have to
have it a but you know when ship started happening
in Georgia, in Hollywood, well meaning coastal elites were I'm
pulling my production from Georgia. I'm not going to play
in Georgia. And you brought three abortion providers reproductive justice activists, yeah,
(22:10):
and from Georgia to Los Angeles to sit down with
these people, and they said, please, don't take your productions
away from from Atlanta, you know, please, this is what's
giving people jobs and bringing influx of all this wonderful
stuff for people that people shouldn't be punished. If you
want to, you know, stick up for um, the people
(22:32):
of Georgia. Then boycott the giant donors that are giving
these politicians money to make these laws. And I thought
that was very people who are living in the places
and center, the people who are most harmed all the time.
And they'll give you the answers to help you be
a better activists and make the world better. Yeah. Um,
you know a lot of people are seeing their rights
(22:54):
being stripped away and it's really scary. What can people do?
I mean, I'm just gonna say, if you go to
a front dot org, we can guide you locally and
nationally to where you need to be. We are connectors,
were unifiers, and we're the people who are out there
who really want you to do something. It will help
you figure out what that something is. I will say
I was in Atlanta two nights ago and I went
(23:15):
to Starbucks and there was a woman working there who
saw a pin on my backpack that said keep your
laws off my body. And she said she was so
moved by it and so angry to be in a
place where it is not legal to make your own
decisions over your body. And the first thing I did
was text Liz and say, well can I give her?
(23:37):
What can I give? And she give me an email address,
said give us to her and this woman will tell
her where in her area she can become active and
what she can do. So thank you so much for
everything you do so much. And we're gonna say a
quick brain, but will be right back after that, and
(24:03):
I think we can't we go. Please consider supporting Power

an hour, you bitch. Let's see my fingers hurt. Yeah,
that's hard work. Roy. Just because you're mad at your
neighbor's kid doesn't mean they deserve dangerous work conditions. They
could lose fingers, Sarah, how many fingers you really need?
How thin these the stars right here? You think you
(11:53):
need these things? You need this one in case you're
getting married. But you know what was the last time
you use your peaky? The peaky just freeloading on all
the rest of the thing is it's the apple baby
at her hand. These kids is young enough. These things
will grow back. They got time. I'm I'm sorry, but
there is no place in our society for child labor.
(12:13):
It is a scourge of humanity that we have luckily
moved past, and it brings nothing positive to the world.
Let me ask you a question. You got an I phone,
Um I do. Who do you think makes it? I
(12:34):
mean Apple, Sarah, Chinese kids. So hand over your I
phone unless you want to be a hypocrite. I'm going
to choose hypocrite. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Now,
if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go sign up my
neighbor's kid for the coal mines. Just a pretty very
(12:57):
good pact even I'm coming making. Okay, I guess the
most important moment can we go? You know this past
(13:28):
weekend was the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
If you haven't heard about it, it's because you're sexist.
It's an important day to honor the women who have
made contributions to humanity's understanding of science, which is why
I wanted to take this moment to honor one woman
whose life hasn't received the recognition it deserves. When you
(13:49):
ask people about the greatest female scientists of the twentieth century,
they'll give you the same names, Very Curry, Jane Goodall,
Octavia Spencer, but they always leave out the most important person.
Dr Raquel Incidia, the world's first female mad scientist in
(14:17):
the field of evil. Doctor Insidia was a relentless pioneer.
She put Genghis Khan's brain into a chimp. She made
Kentucky disappear, all of it for three years. No Kentucky.
She put a man on the moon as punishment. His
body is still open. Unfortunately, in the nineteen fifties, the
(14:38):
mad sciences were dominated by men, so doctor Insidia faced
a lot of sexism. One time, she shrunk the Prime
Minister of Latvia and trapped him in a jar. They
gave her a two million dollar ransom. The next week,
a male mad scientist kidnaps the same prime minister. They
give him four million dollars and a guest spawn. It's old,
(15:02):
same prime minister, same jar. You tell me how that's
not sexism. She was always at a disadvantage. It's hard
to build a laboratory in a volcano when you're not
allowed to open your own credit card. The bank was
always saying, where's mr. Doctor Insidia. My debut as a
matte scientist was when I terrorized Boston with a radioactive megaphone.
(15:28):
What I didn't tell anyone was that the megaphone was
doctor Insidia's idea. I told her it was a stupid idea,
and then I stole it. I feel bad about the
whole thing, but it launched my career, even hand me
on that sell of her. Doctor Insidia assembled body parts
(15:49):
into an unholy monster. The first thing it did when
it came to life was asked her to get it
a cup of coffee. Of course, everything got worse after
just she had her baby well clothed her baby, Doctor
Insidia was asked to leave the Evil Alliance headquarters because
they were uncomfortable with her breastfeeding. Look in our defense
(16:13):
breast grading is gross. If Doctor Insidia had lived long enough,
I think she would have become a household name. Unfortunately,
she died young. Some people think her heart gave out
from all the sexism. Others think it was from the
heart stopping race she accidentally fired of herself. Me. I
(16:33):
think it was a little bit of both. She was
truly a revolutionary, but schools refused to teach about her work.
Why not? Why not? I suppose because of all of
her crimes. But it's all right. Her legacy lives on.
She's the one who taught me about girl power. Literally,
(16:54):
you can power steam engine with girls. Ye see Doctor
in City. All right, stay tuned because when we come back,
the hilarious Liz Win said, we'll be joining me on
the show Daily Show. My guest tonight is the co
(17:24):
creator of The Daily Show and the founder of Abortion
Access Front, which uses humor to destigmatize abortion and expose
those fighting against reproductive rights. Please welcome, liz Win said, Wow,
(17:58):
you guys spruced up the place since last time out here.
I did doing pretty good. I mean it's come along.
I mean I would say so if you watch some
of the old episodes, you could see light switches, and
you really created this whole idea of already need you know,
(18:22):
I mean, did you know how groundbreaking that would be
at the time, Well, I knew that the media was
consistently disappointing, so it seemed like low hanging fruit, especially
when the show caught on and instead of the media
(18:44):
being like, you know, maybe we should really be really
investigating stories, they were like funny graphics. That's what the
public they stole the wrong the paint. So you founded
abortion access fright dide do you see this as a
(19:05):
kind of a natural evolution from the Daily Show for you, Well,
because they explain what it is, but they deal with
abortion with humor. Yeah, I mean the truth is, whether
it was this show, whether it was air, American radio,
wherever I went, it's like knowing that you can expose
hypocrisy with humor and knowing that done well, you can
(19:29):
make change. It kind of was at natural illution because
no one was talking about abortion. People siloed it. They
weren't talking about it, and so the reason I created
it was because I wanted to speak truth to power. Also,
if everybody felt freaked out when Rob Wade fell, like
what do I did all you feel like what do
I do? I wanted to give people an answer to
(19:52):
that question. So with Abortion Access we decided what we
want to do is create programs that folks can jump into.
Will meet where you are if you have ten minutes
an hour to give. We have fun things in the streets.
We can help you legislatively you don't. We have this
great program called Operations Save Abortion. It's pretty simple. It's
a five part series. Get together your friends, do it
(20:12):
and learn how you can actually do more than just
march because that just feels like you're an anger fluffer
at that point, right, where's the really anger fluffer? So
you know, I feel like people really want to get
involved in so with us, it's like, I mean, we
just watched the super Bowl a hundred million dollar ads
by people who are funding anti abortion garbage, and we're
having big sales to try to get people to get services. Right.
(20:38):
I'm not gonna say you should donate, but you should don't.
So you started Abortion Access Front also known as Abortion
a F. Yes. Um, we are very cool shirts if
you want to really go in hard. So you you
founded that in Yeah, what did Liz winstead In think
(21:03):
Abortion Rights would be in well, I mean, Liz Wins
we kind of lightly started this and you were there
in like because I knew it was gonna get worse,
you know, I mean, these alarmed forever because it was
happening in the States and nobody seemed to understand state politics.
(21:24):
Nobody understood that. Like the reason Roevie Wade fell is
because an abortion case in Mississippi made it to the
Supreme Court. Now, if you don't think Mississippi should be
deciding how you live your reproductive life, then you've had
to get your ship together and start paying attention. And
so that for me, it was always that and I
(21:48):
mean I will say this and I we have to
have it a but you know when ship started happening
in Georgia, in Hollywood, well meaning coastal elites were I'm
pulling my production from Georgia. I'm not going to play
in Georgia. And you brought three abortion providers reproductive justice activists, yeah,
(22:10):
and from Georgia to Los Angeles to sit down with
these people, and they said, please, don't take your productions
away from from Atlanta, you know, please, this is what's
giving people jobs and bringing influx of all this wonderful
stuff for people that people shouldn't be punished. If you
want to, you know, stick up for um, the people
(22:32):
of Georgia. Then boycott the giant donors that are giving
these politicians money to make these laws. And I thought
that was very people who are living in the places
and center, the people who are most harmed all the time.
And they'll give you the answers to help you be
a better activists and make the world better. Yeah. Um,
you know a lot of people are seeing their rights
(22:54):
being stripped away and it's really scary. What can people do?
I mean, I'm just gonna say, if you go to
a front dot org, we can guide you locally and
nationally to where you need to be. We are connectors,
were unifiers, and we're the people who are out there
who really want you to do something. It will help
you figure out what that something is. I will say
I was in Atlanta two nights ago and I went
(23:15):
to Starbucks and there was a woman working there who
saw a pin on my backpack that said keep your
laws off my body. And she said she was so
moved by it and so angry to be in a
place where it is not legal to make your own
decisions over your body. And the first thing I did
was text Liz and say, well can I give her?
(23:37):
What can I give? And she give me an email address,
said give us to her and this woman will tell
her where in her area she can become active and
what she can do. So thank you so much for
everything you do so much. And we're gonna say a
quick brain, but will be right back after that, and
(24:03):
I think we can't we go. Please consider supporting Power
