January thirty, two thousand one from probably said, rose World news headquarters in New York. This is the daily german revenue years. I think I see I'm private law. I would guess tonight is an actor and a comedian here to talk about his new Broadway play David
And ingredients joining us, everybody cited also onto my show, the royal family is royally. Screwed Corey book joins the race for vice presidents and Donald Trump card. Remember why he started a war,
So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with the Academy awards, the biggest knights of the year for actors and red carpet salesman. Today the academy announced this year's nominations and, as always, it was who got
out, that's got everyone talking. This year's asker nominations were announced this morning and there is some takes prizes.
The big snobs as well Joe girl, taking the lead with eleven nominations. No women nominated in the directors category Gretta girl Wig, definitely was snub this morning for little women. The Irishman, Martin
we're Steffy TAT, Philip nineteen, seventeen Pham Mendez once upon a time in Hollywood. Quantum
Tina Parasite.
Bulging? How,
wow you sorry there. You know you're in
when someone can throw shade by congratulating you and I'll, be out as I get why she said that, because those on just all male directors, those are all very male movies like if you take a parasite. Women probably have ten minutes of dialogue. In all the other forms combined like there's no reason, women shouldn't have bigger roles in these moves
except for nineteen seventeen, because women want invented until the thirty. That's a fact,
we like where's little women. Personally, I loved the movie rights
also ask if ready for it, because it was nominated for six awards, including best picture best screenplay to acting limitations, but then somehow grid going wasn't nominated for America. How the hell does that happen? That was just to people like what an amazing movie ending
the movie directed itself wow, that's incredible. I mean I'm glad that at least one black woman was nominated for best actress congrats
patients, Cynthia Revolt, that for any kind of predictable, that it was for playing a slave ammo. Things didn't deserve it, but just imagine if every white actor, who was nominated gotta for playing
via hopefuls white people you more than just that, but you know it was the biggest snub for me film editing. How are you not gonna nominate the guy who edited the
every Epstein security tapes. How how springing up snubs the Democratic Party has been criticized recently for its debates stage becoming as white as the Oscars, and today
news is not going to help breaking news, although use twenty twenty race Senator Cory. Booker is
the seller making that announcement online just moments ago today, I'm suspending my camp at present with the same spirit with which it became campaigning,
in the last year has been. One was needful experiences of my life. That's right, Corey Booker has announced that he is officially quitting the democratic presidential race and look you can quit. However, you want, but I do think it's weird
His quitting video doesn't look like his quitting he's out. There would crowd
shaking hands, and everyone does this my opinion as if you gonna drop out of the race, your video should look like you drop out the race. If you just
you sitting alone on a pop ban cleaning out your desk. I wanted to look depressing, but yeah whatever happens in
member America will not be electing a black president- and you know, Obama must be secretly happy about this- he's probably mafias vineyard. Like that's right,
first and last bitch is tat. What you know about that and you have to admit between the Oscars in this. This is definitely a great weak for liberals in America because think about Democrats in Hollywood always talking about how important diversity is, but they're the ones who always seem to end up celebrating a bunch of white people. You know- and this is almost like- finding out- grid timbered secret.
HANS Polar bags in a race got. You know, as you like imagine. You found that about her, like you'd, actually doing the thing that you tell other people not to do and finally, some nature news, while Democrats may be worried about having fewer and fewer canvas to choose from for the Galapagos tortoises. Numbers are an issue they won't have to worry about for a while
to one hero, a giant torrent is credited with saving species is being returned to its own in the wild. Diego Galapagos giant toward us is jokingly, called a play away because then spent forty years helping to re populate his species when he started in the programme used. One of
the programme used one of two males and twelve females left on the island? Now there are more than two thousand well Don Diego experts estimate. Forty percent of those tortoises are related to him. Now he said to his native island of Espinosa in March,
retire, cause he's exhaust,
Thank you for your. This is an amazing story. This hero turtle turned a population of less than twenty tortoises into two thousand
just look at him in the water there, how coolness balls off you earned it buddy, and let this be a lesson to kids out that if someone tell you to go out in practice safe sex, each other,
I want to be like Diego the turtle
not joking zigzags saves Alexandrovitch come on I've. Gotta be honest. You know when I first heard this story, Diego reminded me of those uncles in the hood that you'd here about
but we will be treated like you. Oughta give Diego got: two thousand ripple already went away to arrive and you're born two halves of work. Also, Diego is the hero of the story and not the females.
We gave birth to two thousand baby. Now look jokes aside, Diego did help repopulating species, but he wasn't be only turtle responsible for father, the two thousand kids there was another Turkle help Diego
and he retired to the Senate. Let's move our talk after the British Royal family, like the conditions with an occasional beheading other world family has had plenty scandals in their time, but right now they going through an unpleasant
the crisis. Last week, Prince Harry and Megan Michael announced the been known
we're going to be on the family phone plan anymore, and so today the queen called everyone together for an emergency, while some
We must now we just mentioned the couple seconds ago. The latest drama surrounding the royal, the queen, as we speak, holding a crisis summit with her family in the wake of printing,
Megan Michael standing decision to step back from there,
Harry and his dad Charles and brother, William, were there and mega market reportedly called in from Canada. Yes, the queen summoned everyone to a private meeting.
At her Royal country House, and everyone attended except Megan Model who conference called it
I'll be honest, I don't blame Megan for not going because nothing good happens when why p
invite you to the countryside. We all know we ve all seen it before seen get out. We know how the shit and about how gangsta isn't that the Queen
ninety three has always been driving herself, but it's I don't know
three years, all she's in a rage role, but I soon the hip hop video from the ninety, but you could throw some biggie under their trip and it wouldn't look out of place,
anyway. The big question everyone's asking right now is
why why
would Harry and Megan want out of life. The show many people dream of having I mean think about we kiss frogs to try and become royalty
the only thing I've ever gotten, is from Herpes Harry and Megan. In particular, the reality of being oil couple has been far from a fairytale. Does a few months into their relationship. British tabloid descended on them with richly charged headlines in commentary like this one from the daily mail, the red,
Harry's girl is almost straight out of content? A british dj has been fired for a controversial tweet about the royal baby, the BBC's Danny Baker,
hosted a photo sharing a couple holding hands with a chimpanzee in the cap should read whale.
Maybe leaves hospital the wife of one of the queen's Cousins Princess Michael of Kant, war. What's called a black more broached, the queen's annual Christmas lunch with Harry and maybe
in attendance. The jewelry is widely viewed as racist first depiction of black people, while wearing a black em broach to meet Maidens
Like family meeting Megan Michael, you meeting everyone else, that is next level like. I wonder if this woman has a cabinet full of racist
just for different occasions, we even have an issue just like Jeeves, I'm off to Korea. Fetch me my necklace of a dog in a frying pan. Please we're going all the way. What this shows you the shows you some of what Megan was up against right to critics. You gotta understand. Megan was everything people didn't want in the royal family she's black, she from the middle class she's a divorce, say and
double. She said the american version of the office is way better and the biggest the biggest culprits of the Megan criticism has been the british tabloid press. I mean
Look at a few of these stories went viral this weekend, like how they covered Megan in comparison to Kate, Middleton, Derek Barrack stories when Kate was pregnant. The daily mail said pregnant Kate, tenderly, cradles Habibi bump
but when Megan did the exact same thing, they headline was: why can't Megan Markel keep her hands off her bump? Is it pride vanity actor in the press? Did this with everything when Kate was pregnant, the express it that she was eating of cargoes?
morning sickness cure, but then, when MEG and ate them suddenly, maidens beloved ever quarters were linked to human rights, abuse and droughts, and I can think of
Prince Andrew was over here having sleep, always Jeffrey Epstein House and the british press is like MEG in Moscow
guacamole. So it's it's
clearly understandable, that Harry and Megan would want to step away from all of this hate in the UK. But now everyone is wondering what they'll do to support themselves without any of the royal cash or good news. Megatons,
already got herself and Job Megan, the duchess of Sense exit, reportedly working on a deal to recur. Voiceover for Disney Megan imprints Harry men with Disney C o at the London from here of the Lion king in July, we're Harry appeared to discuss possible future projects.
Ok, wait, Prince Harry really did that had a movie from last year he asked the seal of Disney to hook his wife.
With voiceover is- and I mean don't, get me wrong. On the one hand, husband goals
On the other hand, you gotta admit the monarchy has fallen off locust back in the day it used to be like if you marry my door
I'll, give you burgundy and now it's like my wife, actually does a pretty good to me.
Usually come on baby. Do the thing a cooler could about how to do the thing you know it's funny is whatever you see the world's most powerful people talking, whereas assume they talking about important things are climate change.
World peace or the next Illuminati orgy, but it turns out there all just hustling. There is like
Oh did I mention I started. Selling fudge take my card with my website on its bill. Gates, fudged dot com, but that's where we are right now, Megan and Harry on their way to a new life. The press is losing one of their favourite targets and the queen is so.
Angry about it that she's about to go? Do some dry bucks we'll be right back

Last week the United States and IRAN narrowly avoided world war. Three I was so relieved. I celebrated by kissing
range in Times square. You get his name. I just know that it was very ticklish. So how will both countries dealing with the aftermath of the stolen money assassin
Asia. Well, let's find out in our ongoing segment war in the Middle EAST. This time it's
regional white, now IRAN Supreme Leader and America Supreme Twitter, a both coming under fire for lying to their people, so much fun with IRAN. After three days of denials, the government of IRAN has admitted that when they launched Miss cells at american targets in Iraq, they also accidentally shot down a passenger play
and all the people of IRAN are demanding accountability. Tensions flared in Tehran as Anti government demonstrators protests did the regime's stunning admission that it mistakenly shit
down a ukrainian jet liner. It all started with a candle light vigil morphed into crowds chancing,
revolutionary guards, are dictators and the enemy is not America. Its within it is shown
this one protests are attacking, a poster, has seems salami people's ahead shearing, as a picture of some money is burned. Yes, the streets of IRAN have been overrun by protesters purist at their own government. I mean you see them. The angry
because losing the fight against the poster and does not just then everyone is mad. Canada is mad America's mad Ukraine's met. Everyone is upset that IRAN shot down that claim, except for Boeing because they, like
yes. The spring course was an awful for once it wasn't that wasn't ask this type. So this weekend, for three days of public demonstrations against the regime in IRAN and last night, prison Trump decided to fan the flames of protest. President Trump offering support to the Iranian
people tweeting in Farsi and in English, my administration will continue to stand with you and later sending a tweet aimed at the leaders in IRAN. Do not kill your protesters. The world is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching that's right. Folks, Donald J.
From is sending tweets in Farsi. Welcome to join he's running, and I gotta say I gotta say it's bullshit for Trump to tweet in a second language when he
even more than his rough. Also. I would like to imagine the Trump dictated that Farsi to eat.
But he does. His english ones are just like the idea that he was then he's like curb knave,
They were business. Travel
remove Iraq. Have I have allowed you have I let him about that river?
River RAG Macgregor, thereby. Finally, let's be honest business. Can you imagine if Obama about tweeted
How can you imagine Fox news? Would have exploded, chunk of causing would have squandered so haughty space would collapse into itself like a black hole, but while trumpets stoking unrest in IRAN back home he's facing challenges of his own, because his story about why he kills solar money, isn't adding up the president still insisting the killing of stolen money stopped imminent threats, including attacks that? U s
she's in the region, the president to making the case on Fox NEWS today of a large scale, attacks plan for other.
Embassies wouldn't help me you're a case I can reveal that I believe it would have been for embassies could have been military bases could have been a lot of other things too, but it was eminent and then all of a sudden he
gas and oil.
Wait. You can reveal that
You believe
no one's asking for your personal,
believe this is war, not what color you thought the dress was also. What does trump mean? It could have been embassies or basis or a lot of other things to clean. The Trump is making this up or so
It was the most indecisive enemy America's ever had
or are you just riding around like? Let us attack an embassy nominal
military base, which are what about that Mcdonald
Yes, you know what this is the story, the Mitchell Machine, so it's already broken excellent they'll, never know so besides Trump. Besides from no one believes that sort of money was planning an imminent attack on everything and because they don't trust him. The house pasta, resolute, irresolution, limiting trumps war powers.
And even three Republicans signed onto it and run ie. No one knows no knows where Trump is getting his information, including his very own defence secretary.
Then secretary, Mark Esper acknowledge Sunday that he saw no specific threats against or U S, embassy was by customs solar money contradicting president Trump. I didn't see one with regard to four embassies heeded inside a specific piece of evidence. What the president said was. He believed that probably could have been attacks against additional embassies in I feel so bad for the feds secretary now cause he's he's trying to tell the truth while also differ,
in terms lie, and this is why you should never go into a light with Donald Trump, because something he's going
risk that lie out of control and leave you in the lurch. If you has worked,
Heather you'd, be at work like hey Donald, I'm sneaking out for some coffee. Tell him I had an important call and then you'd walk in ten minutes late and troubled by giving you a funeral like rain
then praise mark has quite with but cancer inspired us all. But I guess that's the great thing about America,
You can believe whatever you want. The intelligence doesn't point to any eminence attack
but Trump can reveal that he believes there were four imminent attacks and
can reveal that, I believe, is full of ship, we'll be right back.
Then show my guess is Tony and Grammy Award nominated actor and comedian who stars in the Broadway debut of the Pulitzer Prize winning Drama a soldier's play. Please welcome David
Alan Grier. Nice welcome to the ship was gone
is one of my favorite moments in life having you on the show, because you know why, because I grew up watching you and your costs on in living colors, one of them
funniest group of human beings. That's not a compliment because you said I was a little baby.
I didn't say that I was a child. I grew up way, brutalize without toddler. I did not a new middle too late. I didn't lay eggs negro end of your career paddling. Those stereotypical did not there. That's how I came to move,
This is just a little bit editorial number. Congratulations that this year's don't be thirty years, the thirtieth anniversary
living color, which for many
people wish for many people reshaped the ideas of like what sketch comedy could be, how a joke could be told. Some people feel like it was almost like a moment of protest, but do you ever see it like that? Did you ever see and live in our role as a political statement at the time we didn't, but you know it wouldn't the moment we are going through it. It was very much about the stuff that we, as people of color black people, would laugh about amongst ourselves right we were able to put it on tv, so it became political. You know. Sometimes you do an action
political just because of its point of view right, so so that's really what it wise, but in a moment we just wanted to get off my we just want to finally tell a joke United Joke hours, Mentelin backstage I want to bring it here,
tell a joke. You know that joke I was been telling backstage. I want to bring it here and we just threw it out there ma'am. It was a ball. It was a baller. I don't think I ever missed a day of work. Never I mean it was we had more fun than people watching it was
Yes, it felt like a genuinely genuinely felt like it, and you ve gone on to make people love. I mean, like you, wanted the funniest human beings. I've ever seen.
Screw. You know what I did. What I didn't know. What I do know is, I genuinely didn't know until a few years ago, how powerful yours, a dramatic actors. Well, you know being turned. I don't you try getting you succeed in doing that, and you know that's what this battle was Broadway plays about. A soldier's play is coming from
wait and as a powerful story. Well, you know, I didn't even know it had never been on Broadway. I was in regional production. I right over four Larry Riley. I played sieges Memphis hours on stage with SAM Jackson, dinner
Washington Adolf Caesar right. This play many people say actually broke their careers in May at threat here. So I did it for about six months than I did the movie and I played Cobb, which was a different role and when Kinney Leon called me, he said you know this Broadway debut and I assume did
already been on, Broadway and sudden? Would you play waters and I had to do it man I had to do it, so it's been complete circle, its complete circuits, a powerful story as well. That seems to to live eternally. You know it's a story that takes place if I'm not mistaken in nineteen for
four and forty thousand forty three forty and forty three forty four because its after yes you're right
so an evidence and story specifically from from the United its telling off a story about black soldiers who on a base, yes dealing with the dichotomy of fighting for their country that oppresses them as second class citizens.
Yeah and those very much this belief that was their historically. That is there with their characters that by letting us black men fight and die for our country, then maybe this country will view s as whole human beings and hold citizens. So there's a lot of that talk of this will change everything you know just are our participation right in this war?
How we deal with all that yeah? What's Anders music, music, music, you use it all, but what it's like I you know, I think it's a powerful story, not just because of what happens, but because it's a story that also shows you. You know that
Black people are not a monolith. You know, because you know it's not a story like black verses white is acknowledged so much more complex than that is black people themselves thing. I d find myself into this out. I see America. This is how I see my hands. I see myself in Amerika. I remember going to see the original production
my college roommate Reggie, Cathy, who is, alas, and passed away, but he audition for this role. Any call me up any said: listen man, I'm not gonna get this part, but you should call your agent tone the syndrome and because I know you can get this part, so I did just that and I went to the theatre the night before my audition for Douglas Turn, a ward and I'm watching the play. What you said was one of the unique things back especially reckon eighty two, where you have these twelve key character, all black, but with all different opinions.
Right all different political points of view. So that's really what was unique and they're all spouting. I mean, and it was amazing to see on stage
It's really. What what gives it all that meet? You know to the story. Are you ever shocked or all disappointed in any way, to think that a story that was written and created in the eighties could be, as
Britain into life in America today yeah I mean that there is a sadness there and I know that talking to Kenny Leon, he said that trials. Fuller, the author playwright, really his great regret to this day
Is I'm paraphrasing, but he said you know I'm
still not able to be free to walk.
Freely in this country as my true self, so that points to that you know I'm
I'm weary! I am tired of talking about these same racial issue,
These same ah,
incidents of inequality its wearying, but this is where were we ve come some way as a society, but we have a lot more work to do all it's gonna be exciting to see you in this play, pulling a third character this time.
