What is its two thousand ninety from probably Federals world news headquarters in New York? This
is the daily with revenue years ago, music, origin, impossible to the more general John Legend is joining us. We're gonna be chatting with them and then he's got a new songs of paper. Also stick around. Take us either one let's get into also show president bone spurs finally goes to Vietnam. People are coming back from the dead and why ISIS members are saying my bad.
This catch up on today's headlines. Let's begin in Vietnam, where, earlier today, President Trump landed for his second summit with North Korea, leader Kim Jong Boon. Of course Vietnam is kind of a two touchy subject for present trump em. In the first time he was supposed to go,
where he dodged the draft so yeah from really wanted to make up for that today. So when you got off the plane, he medically just through a grenade at some vietnamese people,
right now, I'm a war hero, so brave so great, so that policy awkward but at least Kim Jong wounds, arrival went more smoothly,
korean dictator, arriving overnight on a secure train after a two day journey through China, greeted with great fanfare at a red carpet, arrive
today we spent the day travelling around the capital and an arm limousine with his bodyguard set aside,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, no matter how many times I see this, I can't get over the fact that came Germans bodyguards
have to run next, it is like. I know it looks cool when, if you're trying to get away from a shoot, a euro, as you can only escape as far as your guys can run, right, maybe like step on it, but keep up with Steve. Keep up with me. It's a crazy that Kim took a two day train ride to go meet with Trump two days that there was a time he spent
on a train the due to spend so much time on a train. He starting to look like one. I guess what happened and by the way, by the way, the right
Kim Jong on takes a train instead of an airplane is partly security and partly because this country is so poor that even the dictated doesnt have a plane capable of flying long distances and also here.
Figured out a way to make his bodyguards fly. Alongside of the whole authority ready once and other news, while Trump is making new friends overseas. One of these old friends is making trouble for him back home, Michael Cohen, trumps, personal lawyer and clinically depressed Goodfellow is on his way to prison for lying to Congress, but first he's going back to Congress to make up for its this morning. President trumps, former personal attorney, Michael Cullen, begins a three day. Marathon of testimony.
Capitol Hill. Nothing will be off limits in the two closed door session slated for today and Thursday. Michael comment is about a pull back. The curtain on president tromp detail
what he says are these personal anecdotes his first hand account of how the president
as lied and cheated throughout his career Cohen plans to accuse the president of criminal conduct in connection with hush money paid to women who claim they had sex with Mr Trump Cohen, reported
will also accused him of making racist comments. Good law this is huge, Michael Corn, is gonna, testify under oath. The prison trump is Elia, Cheetah Womanizer and a racist. What are the bombshells he's? Gonna drop, as you also know that tells us that every link
didn't die of natural causes that double stuff ariosto, just regular areas with more stuff yeah. It's on the package. We know now that it is also possible that Cohen can actually prove that trunk was involved in specific criminal acts, including when he was president and honestly. It would be big news if it turned out that trumps stop playing golf and watching tv long enough to commit crimes that would be a pretty big deal. There will definitely be watching to see what comes out of that, but first, let's move on from a disloyal Trump associates to one of the few hasn't turned on him. Yet evoked a trump last night, the presence DORA took a break from her.
Grimly important job at the White House to teach Democrats little lesson about ordinary Americans. You ve got people who will see that offer from the Democrats from the progressive Democrat
Here's the green new deal he's a guarantee of a job and they get that
I want that simple. What do you say to those people I dont think most
Americans in their heart want to be given something
there. I have spent a lot of time travelling around this country over the last four years. People want to work for what they again
So I think this idea of an gear,
Ted minimum is not something most people want
Are you shitting me right now, a drunkard tromp says the thing
she's London life is that people want to work for what they get really the woman whose recent major says daddy, I
job now that woman really and for the record, I'm are called bs on this people love getting free shit. Ok, have you ever been to a basketball game when they bring other tissues cannon parents cannon, their own kids for a free shut that they will never where I never been
Maskos I've seen people put in disguise is to get a second free sample of Bengal by people, love, free shit and everyone. Everyone, even rich people, are a lower level of rich people was run, be like oh, everyone doesn't one hand, doesn't say so, rich people of hand off more than anyone. This is totally true. I was at the Oscars lost, we get right and they have goody begs for the guess. They fancy cool things that they give up.
Richest benches people in the room and the rushing to the table like Maynard like that. Don't act like that. Why aren't you have? What do you do
your millionaire, you have everything that I guess everything under Netflix blanket guys. Lady Gaga kick my ass because I grab something before she could get our hands on it and ok, it was or Oscar, but that's not the point. That's not a point of order
a ship. Finally, let's move on to some news coming out of my home country, South Africa, like much of the developing world, my country has been targeted by common, pour out to make a quick buck, and one of these big scams is travelling preachers. You try to get donations by four people
with fake miracles, and now you might be like trouble. How do you know that the miracles are fake? Well, what's this clip- and you tell me in this vital that
a man dressed in white is seen lying in a coffin passed to offload our praise for him
The cow lazy hands on the man, then
major deceased, sits up and
Looks around seeming:
surprised at what happened with those around him celebrating ogre, everybody will
Naturally we need to review the Oscars, because I know Rummy mother killed it, but that guy there was a bit of it
the millennium round
Our model is by the way, is not just the past them. Everyone in the videos in on the scam ya know that, because, if lag, people really think that you brought someone back
life they're, not gonna, stand around with that shit happens. Let me tell you something: one black people see anything that is.
We want to waste, don't forget dead people. This is what happens when David Blaine makes a card disappear.
Open, ass, the shit on Filter of Ireland's movements. It today stop story, I'm not I'm not alive. People today was a weird Newsday right. All the big news stories of today are about things that are going to happen tomorrow. Restrains day, like Michael Cohen, is going to testify in front of Congress. President Trump is going to meet with Kim Jong, and I am going to kick my neighbors ass. If he doesn't stop,
Being around upstairs to seriously what the hell are, you doing out even know like how this person works is like he only as he'll like boom boom boom asylum below one of those half horse, half men things and then every morning he leaves the farcical get water from its fridge. Anyway. The point is the point: is the news is currently in a holding pattern right, like nothing's actually happening? I could lighting and say this, but there's no breaking no break nothing. So what would he doesn't think about nothing? Ok, I'll tell you a story randomly caught my attention, ISIS, because remember them right. There were few years ago there was a hot new craze was like programme on go. Thousands of people are signing up running around capturing infidels and if you played well enough
One virgins, instead of just being one, was really cool, but now, after years of war, ISIS finally seems to be on its last legs. In Syria, U S backs forces, are getting ready for a final surge in the last tone held by ices in twenty fourteen is the height of ice? Is thirty thousand square miles they controlled across Syria Iraq? Today, the self declared Caliphate is down to a few miles just in by goose. Its ices last stand in only a matter of time before the: U S is one and the caliphate will have been defeated physically, while ices has gone from controlling half of the Middle EAST to only occupying to square miles, they charge you just keep shrinking.
And shrinking a month from now they will just be squeezed into a New York city, size, department, Ogilvy, like all my god. This is the real terrorism. I can't believe what paint forty thousand dollars a month
this for this year and all those persons gomberg upstairs it sounds like a force of men. Women ballet. I think, though, that the simple now is not the time for me. So remember, remember: right: there are thousands of people who left western countries is something more people will remember what I said. A lot of people left western countries to go and join ISIS. Another ices has basically been defeated. The question facing most governments is: what do they do with all the captured fighters? My personal pitch, you modify this
suicide vest and then you hire them out for gender reveal parties? You know like that. Dramatic, it's our boy, so I societies from countries around the world and are waiting to learn their fate and the part of the story that I found particularly interesting is that many of the women who left their countries to join ISIS are now asking society.
Let them back in theirs. Isis makes its last stand in Syria to women. One american want to bring to fled their countries, to become ISIS. Brides now say that
desperate to come home. People should have like sympathy towards me. Everything I've been through different. You deserve a punishment for what you did. Maybe therapy lessons people watching will save themselves. Well. Therapy isn't enough. I know that, maybe speaking against them, which definitely planning to weigh show. So let me get this straight as punishment for joining ISIS. You want to go around. Giving speeches to people like like TED talks,
In other words, you want us to put you in a room full of people with a little clicker and then just trust that it's gonna go to the next slide. That's that's what you want to sit up really
here man, maybe we should get you therapy, because then I guess that should crazy. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but you conscious, joint ices and come back like nothing happened. Ok, yeah it'll be like leaving your wife or another woman, and then two young ladys are struggling, hey honey. My site check out ugly
No, I'm back up anywhere once we're better. No I'll be honest. Albinos, though the case these women are making for forgiveness, isn't exactly tugging.
My heartstrings now is women, thought they were going to be frontline fighters ones
They got to Syria or Iraq they found out. There are basically there for one purpose, and that was too procreate and get married often have many babies oarsmen,
babies as possible. You gonna list of man, and you could choose a man from a list, some crazy tuna,
says very little sounds crazy. You weren't, you join ISIS, I'm sorry they like all. They thought that they were going to fight and then they would know. I'm sorry. You want me to feel bad. You wanna join ices, so that should get a chance to kill us, but then, when she got there they wouldn't let her fight, so the patriarchy oppressing them man. First of all, I don't feel sorry for you that ices turned out to be a sexist organization and second of all, how did you not know that? Did you not read the brochures? There are fundamentalists regrew? What do you think you are going to do find a group of
There is work bays. Is that what you thought the government I wouldn't want to destroy the west and we're going to distorting for doesn't, most importantly, we're going to distort the glass ceiling. The world goes on the other girls here on the world about and now there are some people. There are some people who say that these ices brides deserve sympathy because they were recruited into ISIS, unimpressionable unimpressionable age as teenage. You know who didn't understand what they were getting into and look I mean we all went through phases as teenage. Ok like for a while. I had banks and yeah. I look ready sexy, I know, but joining ices is next level teenage rebellion. Ok, which is maybe why the? U S and Britain are given
these women and next level response. President from tweed yesterday I have instructed secretary of state might palm pale and he fully agrees not to allow hotel masonic back into the country. British teenagers show me my baby boom, who left the UK to join ISIS in twenty fifteen, will be stripped of her british citizenship couldn't being unjust,
Naturally it out to do that, but I don't think actually allowed to do that as well you how bad guys are the first ones to bring up the more when it suits them cause. You know it s, not a lot to do top of my head. I see my neck, think of it as a law. This is my head must remain attached to my body, okay, so that it is a law. This thing here is no, but- and this is a big bunch- and I cannot lie the terrorists- might have a point. There is a criminal justice system for a reason president or prime Minister shouldn't get to decide what these women deserve. That's what courts before and this process is honestly what separates bad guys from the good guys. It's the reason that the Batman has to send the Joker to overcome every time he catches in your deep down in
I'd Batman wishing you could just ended once and for all. I can just wanna be like then go to get rid of him. You re like Batman. What happened to the Joker, maybe like his objective sheet accidentally went off in a tunnel total accident. So what's your dinner so is unpopular, it may sound countries like the. U S and the Uk National should bring these women back, put them on trial and give them a punishment that fits what they ve done. I maybe it's life in prison.
Maybe it's a long sentence with parole or if we really want to punish them, we could make them go away
in North Korea as Kim Jong IL's bodyguards.
We'll be right back.
My guess is an office one. Ten Grammy's, an Oscar and Amy and Tony award he's the newest coach on NBC the voice and his latest single is called
reach. Please welcome John Legible, hello. I regret to tell you that we do not have time for the interview, because I had to read out your list of achievements. Job. That's like just such an a long list of everything. This aren't you tired do have space
They watch what you put the awards. John, I'm not tired. I am feeling good, I'm excited to be here and I do have space for the words up man.
Congratulations you you you have you have so many words and most, I think not no, more importantly, but one the most prestigious things is, you have the e got
Amy, Grammy and ask attitude. Is that like, like a secret clubbed, he doesn't like a text chain with each other. We there are only fifteen of us right and
only how the image of like two of them, I feel like, I feel, like you should start a club is eager to windows, and then you have like a dinner even if its once a year and then at the dinner you just like pet yourselves
we like, could you pass the sole cause with abreast where the greatest here we have the greatest? They all the rumours
the Illuminati
it could be the Illuminati Illuminati. Yes, that's a great idea. You could sing the theme
for the Illuminati, though we don't even know, men, naughty,
if we were really alone on it. We can talk about it than right. No songs, not nordic songs. Maybe we'll cut this part of.
And if you out or will we let's talk about the music John Legend? Yes, you have, a new song is called breach, is called preach.
And you know what I would have really loved about you. Is you you're an activist not just in words, but in action is well. You put your money where your mouth is. You are somebody who has been an advocate for criminal justice reform. What is preach about breaches and about any particular cause? It's about saying we can just be about words and thoughts and prayers. We have to be about action rights, and so whatever that means to you, I think everybody should take it personally and say you know what my life Darwin a sea change in, and I should be a part of that chain instead of just talking about right and you also have a part of the campaign that goes with Israeli Korea, Free America yeah. Well, my free America campaign has been going on for years now, and one of the things we talk about is criminal justice reform. Now, where the most incarcerated country in the world- and we should do something about it, and so I've been doing something about it. I've been going to meet with change makers all around the country we ve been trying to change laws. We were part of a team that fought for the amendment the Guy Voting rights restored in Florida rights.
We ve been involved in propositions in California that reduce penalties for certain crimes with imported district attorney election campaigns as well trying to get people in office that are going do the right thing: flower unity, so we ve been getting really involved all around the country trying to make the changes. We really want to see that the music video for preacher is is really like powerful, I mean it tells a few stories of different people tells a story of a you know, a young black couple pulled over by the police and how their life's can change overnight. To tells a story of a family of immigrants who are trying to come into the Eu S. What happens to them? Do you feel that music, an arch, has an obligation to speak about what we are experiencing a society where I think artists does have to be truth, tellers and we have to if we see something going on in society and inspires us to create, inspires us to create our music video whatever it is that we should listen to our inspiration and go out there and make art that that reflects what we're thinking about and what's happening,
world and I think that's what an honest authentic artists would do and a lot of the artist and I've looked up to my my life into my career, like Stevie, wonder Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, so many artists have used their voice.
To do that right, insults to me that's part of what the definition of an artist is. You, you
Yes, you have many views on one or two should be, and I think that's probably one of the reasons combined with your talents that you have now become a judge on the voice.
That's really exciting. Yes, what it feels like a lot of your cold judges are little threatened by you.
Your voice. I've been trying to set me down. They blocked me all of them blocked me right. They only get one block each and they could use any closer. They want to use it on and they block, and they all chose to use it on me while is that is that it is.
That a compliment thought you supposedly they also cause are threatened by me, their fitting that you think it's savage.
Like there's, no consolation me, you, China, you know, ruin my chances of winning, but it's ok, I'm learning! What are you? What are you most excited about when you work with a new authorised and and how do you coach them, because one thing about John Legend that I mean you may or may not know, that's what everyone knows, that your voices amazing, but a lot of people, don't realize that you
This is almost perfect when this guy sings live, as you will hear later on in the show
it's ridiculous. I'm I've heard you live, and it's like you don't happen. Sometimes you gotta concert and then the others to sing, and then you like one album, is the rub.
Doesn't sound like this. When you sing I gotta get. I have the song, I listen to this same soccer. So what are you look for an honest man? It's gonna caution and well part of what the whole conceded. The boy
This is obviously you wanna, just listen to their voice before even turn around and see what they look like right. So for for so many of us,
you know. We watched television, we see videos and we were looking at the whole package, but at the beginning is really just about.
This voice move me. So that's what makes you turn around, but obviously there's more than
into an artist and just having a great voice. You have to be a good performer right. You have to connect with people
So many other things are going to have to pick the right songs. You have to not get too nervous when, when it's time for you to show up and perform, and so
When we call someone just try to help them be the best one they can be. That means picking the right. Songs, noggin too nervous make the right choices, and hopefully they go out there and deliver. Let me ask you about your present state John Legend,
yes President's day, because it was the coolest residents day of my life. Yet
You know why he says that, because he was having dinner with a president and an actual president, Barack Obama. Yes, that is critical, I can imagine it was pretty cool. Has with him and Stiff Currie was like the greatest shooter while Darius like you know, it was good time
we steps wife is
restaurant, there called international smoke in San Francisco and they were hosting us, because the present was doing his, my brother's keeper alliance, yet gathering there in
Glenn, and so the night before the gathering, where we were gonna, be on a panel together and talk to the young people he hostess for dinner, and it was pretty cool. Is it isn't a little weird shooting with Barack Obama and then like here?
from give a speech the next day. Honestly, it is really jarring the just the juxtaposition of not making a joke. Honestly,
just listening to Obama, talk and then listening to drum talking just the level of nuance, that Obama's capable of and and this his worldliness and intelligence about life and is good character.
As this is the real joy. That's funny it's I. Why are we having a complete more on an asshole in the White House right now? You will like it, and it is like these
human being, and so, when you're with someone who actually is a really good human being, it's a very Johnny juxtaposition, but you know what I'm excited to have you as an amazing human being on the show. Are you going to be performing the song preach before it's right here in the studio?
the voice as Mondays and choose a p m on NBC and Preach is available. Now we should stay tuned for special performance.
Bring John Legend.
