Immersive tech in our experiences, although DJ, is in great need of food and drink, for a limited time or offering vocs media podcast network fans, one and fifty dollars off our standard tick go to the virtual com such on the virtual tickets and enter promo code, dollar sign nine. Nine. Now checker I'd love to see you. Cafe and W unwisely studios this estate tuned, I'm prepared

Everybody welcome to my purse, live shovel MOM we need to stop doing that. I want so they show the show was, is sold out It's sold out, unlike its old out and like twenty four, I told my kids with three hours because I twenty four hours We even sold out the crappy seeds back up in the back,

yeah and a new special people. Also. I want to thank CAFE for finally being who they are and making this possible pineapple street media are part hers and our other partner, Tubby and Y see been amazing over the last twelve weeks, so I'll admit to you before we start the show that I am a little bit nervous. There's a lot of pressure when I agreed to do this thing, the podcast. I did it because I understood that you don't even have to look decent babe it's audio right, you're in. If you ever want to see a very sad place in America, go to a podcast studio,

it's windowless, there's no air conditioning, so I get it gets a little gamey, because the air conditioning sound effects the the quality and you don't get to hear the dulcet tones of the speakers. So I didn't I didn't sign up for this thing. I like to do that thing and just you and like some mushrooms in a in a tiny room and I've never done this before so I don't. I hope, the transitions work. That's a very nice setup, the requisite oriental rug. Thank you for that. When Alec Baldwin comes out enough, they have that particular rug problem. Santa FE style, I'm guessing, but am also, and the path cast is free. Most of you, people paid money So I feel I feel in a special obligation or special obligation to be- I don't know better than usual. I don't think I.

I am also a little stressed out because my boss is here brother. My italian brother Vinnie, is sitting somewhere here. Look, it's nice is ice in America, get fired by the press, United States and you have the safety net of your brother to help you get a job, but I want to thank him for supporting me in supporting this experiment and this objects. My other bosses here, my wife, Dalia it's a lot of pressure to add to the stress and feeling the need to perform. I talk about them alive. On the par Cason, otherwise in life, because they want me to my mom and dad or here

so this nose cute, as you think it is because this is like my job. There now here monitoring me at my job, I mean, if you are doing job data entry or uber driver and you're in your dad decide to come drive with you and set things like You forgot to signal. It might not be that it might be that pleasant. I can see him from here and is Arms are crossed. You talked about me too much.

Big because they're all here, if you would pretend to have a good time and and laugh appropriately at certain moments and through your brow appropriately when something deep is being said, that'll make dinner afterwards. Parents a lot more pleasant. I want to acknowledge some one else here. I think he's your June Kim who is the acting United States attorney? You rate raise your Where are you I? I used to be the Eu S attorney and if you, if you follow the podcast

at work, I know you read the news. You know that right before I was fired, I got this strange. I got a series of phone calls, but I got on March. Ninth that strange phone calls from the President of the United States, which I didn't return, after some debate internally and the person I have always relied upon to give me advice was person whose my conciliatory in the jobs you can just when the smartest people I know- and he was in another conference room when the call came in from the present secretary for forty p m on that evening- and we have already become a little concerned about this weird cultivating of a relationship between a sitting president and the United States, a turnkey who had jurisdiction over his businesses and over his hotels and over associates of his. So it's kind of awkward, and so I summoned June to my office

we for about forty five minutes, debated the question: do you call the president back or not? It's weird right. The president calls you you're. The reason he's reason you have your job and June was adamant. Do not call the president back for various recent, so we know what he's going to be really pissed. If I d while a bag is like. I know you can call the guy back sweating call him back. And then twenty hours later I was asked to resign and then and then I was fired and then June became the USA to turning so what Had the chance.

Does your ruminate on that and I'm not sure I can say that he gave me completely neutral advice. Judges, jokes. I think one of the. I am very proud of the fact that in call the president back, do you don't go way back, so I am glad that you, Jews, had a very busy day. I don't know, but I I look from afar. We had a terrible incident at the port authority today and A person decided that he wanted to kill Americans and it was reminiscent of the time. I was still use attorney back in May of two thousand ten a guy by the name of vital issues. I tried to blow up a car in Times Square and he, like the person today, was not

good at making a bomb. So we should be happy about that, but also concerned that there are still people who want to do those things to us, but also to me pleased that I think we have the best tourism task force in the country, which I think we have best use attorney's office in the country and is parted and, as part of the gdp of, I think the best police department in the country who keep us safe, every day and I think we should be. We should be happy that we have that in what I think is the safest, large city in Amerika, so as I often sambre nostalgic when I think about my old office June, thanks for making it here tonight and Godspeed

you and the gaiety Avenue I pity and everyone else who keeps a safe. Hopefully we won't see more of these in the sure, but I fear that we will, but if we are going to have that happen,. I am glad that we have the best known for some people in the world working here in the city what maintain some of the format, and so, when I do in the park ass is I answer people's questions, and so, as people are falling, They had the opportunity- these are real, live questions with terrible handwriting and some in the small print. So when I go to some questions that will bring out our guest first question, not that you expected to be here tonight, but do you find this new life as a podcast, her more fulfilling, then being

prosecutor. No, I mean it's fine. My brother is younger than I am and he's my boss when you're an indian family, that's incredibly disgraceful, but it's fine. I have kids to put through college. Thank you for your question. Next one is a little better handwriting. Can you recommend someone whose opinion you disagree with, but whom you respect, that you recommend people listen to what that's, so there are people that I disagree with on a lot of things

Republicans for example, but I think they're really really important to listen to, and so I follow in my my twitter feed lots of folks. I disagree with lots of publications. I think it's important. To the kinds of things at some of the guests. My show have taught me: I've been witness, is Republican Jeff Lake is republican. Senator thence ass is have the consent of their people, with whom I disagree on matters of particular policy: tax policy, healthcare policy, for example, but I think it's important to understand what other people think that just people like agree with some of the Trump stuff. If we're only talking to each other in an echo chamber, I hope it's the case that people are trying to not just give arguments to.

Other who agree with you, but also figure out how to break out of the bubble and echo chamber and persuade other folks to think the way you think That's never gonna happen. You're, never gonna be able to persuade other people of anything unless you take the time and have the time parents and the open mindedness, to listen to what we disagree with have to say and there's a lot of folks who say things you might not like on particular policy but you need to understand what those arguments army when I was a lawyer being a lawyers. About argument and you're not going to commence a jury of your point of view of the guilt of the defence, for example, if you're not listening and paying attention to what the defence lawyers argument is and meet those arguments and these sophisticated at adults,

and an open minded to understanding that maybe someone else, even if you don't ultimately agree with them, has good points to make about your argument. Then you home them and you will find them a few weeks ago, in the end. At the end of the show I talked about a professor I had was one of the most preeminent political philosophers at last, two hundred years John rules and what I said about him, he took the time to read all of the criticisms of himself of his work and try to respond to them and refined his thinking. So I reckon following and reading and listening to all sorts of people who disagree with you so long is there I think, respectful and how they talk about things. That's my answer that question next question. Quietly someone put a name to a question. This is from Joe

As you return to civilian life, how do you deal with work? leaders floating your name in the news, sometimes, and not so positive light stole from Highland Park narrows it. We are probably referring to so I've been banned from Russia by Putin. Although he doesn't talk about me I assume you're talking about present murder. One of Turkey who, on among other things, has asked for my firing when Joe Biden was so the vice president of the United. On the one hand, its I kind of crazy that the president of a country is accusing you have things that are absurd. Ludicrous music is accused me and actually June, two of being involved in the failed coup of being associated with somebody did he describes as an enemy of the turkish state? So it's a little odd to be far too. The president of a country in that way? It all,

it's me worried about. My travel with a red notice has been placed the through interpol it is what it is, and hopefully hopefully, if that happens, and there's a problem dial trumpet tone We defend me got a few more. So a lot of questions. Man Jared Kirshner recently use a turn. Examples I think actually does the questioner means down from Junior saw out, modify the question down from Junior recently use attorney client privilege as a reason not to answer she's about emails with the president is is valid and can he be ordered to answer Maya from a story? I thank you for putting a name to your question. So that's great question and, generally speaking,

you got to answer such questions. I think, from what I read in the news down from Junior has invoked attorney client privilege. There is no privilege between a father and a son, there's like an edible thing between a father and a son. That's totally separate from the privilege, I believe the argument is it so the preacher penitent, you have a husband wife. You have attorney client. If have father son. I think the argument as islanders It is that there were some conversations that he's not revealing the nature of, because an attorney was present. Now there are certain circumstances in which, yes, if there's literally a discussion of legal advice between and among people who share an interest and are in a unified and a common potential defence and there's an attorney there that might be covered by turning climbed privilege. But, as you

can't just sort of plop an attorney into your account and who wants to do anyway right an attorney into like a dinner and order food and say that's privilege, that'll work its way out. You know it will work itself out with the special council and there are ways to compel testimony and to have an argument before a court, because our mothers team, as as report has a grand jury, convened and there's a judge. They can go twenty six all work its way out. I don't know if it's true or not, but that's my answer that question next question: hey pre, hey! This is from just from Brooklyn, given the incredibly norm, breaking news out of the Trump Administration today, why're you upset with

quality of the latest season of ESA. Now you know why I'm a person to and I was sitting in my home in I, so I set a tweet about this and am watch All I want to do when I want personnel is laugh. Nor Michael's is a genius thrall, geniuses, they're, all terrific I've been watching the show. Four hundred and twenty years, I'm watching escaped with James Franco that I did not understand and if you understood it, and so I lashed on Twitter, as is my God, given. American right Eighty should not have said that as an l sucks, but we're gonna talk about comedy and the nature of comedy and the quality of comedy with our guest coming up in a couple of minutes, and maybe maybe those guys should think about hiring

who saw him and at last Flex, worsted one, is menage coming out high pre this question, it says, about asked by an iranian American. How has the term presidency made you feel differently about being american? So that's a very profound question. It hasn't made me feel different. I don't think how a president acts chain. Is how we think about America, how we think about american opportunity, how we think about the? U S constitution.

How we think about our neighbours, how we think about immigration, how we think about justice, how we think about fairness? It may cause you to redouble your thoughts and your actions in support of the things you believe them, but should the question, but it does make me think differently at all. In fact, in some ways, as I said before, it's too crazy time ran in something's cause despondency on the part of some folks, but also inspiration. I think that the way in which some people are responding to some of the terrible things and the terrible intolerance and sometimes racial violence and bigotry and anti immigration sentiment. That's going on makes me even better about being an American. So the way I think about it, the prison this will present his presence gonna be gone in three. Seven years. The will all, but America will still be here.

American values will still be here, and so it doesn't change anything about how I feel about an hour. So I'm about to bring out our guest, which is the reason you're all here I saw Minaj is, I think everyone knows a rising star screen stage comedy you name it. He, as you know, is a daily show correspondent. I think he was the Sir John Stewart hired him and then immediately retired, and that could mean that he was upset with this decision or I think more likely that my job here is done. I've made this person He has performed at all sorts of high value and high profile Simply. No one has correspondence dinner on the other side we'll have a simonov.

They have scholarship. I owe it means the cap was a compliment all dated anything I just had to like watch a couple Youtube videos, I get it right, but they were they were. They were really hurt. I was in my home office, which is very unspectacular. Am I Why keep laughing like I'm working? I was lit. I was watching the widest correspond sinner that you hosted some you're eclipse from the daily show and you're on. Our people have seen it. You know,

special. Very well name very clever, homecoming king yeah. I thought it was. It was funny, but also moving in. I don't know that a lot of comedy does both things and makes you laugh hysterically, but also a little bit. You know get to get a tier in your eye. I want to address some of the things that happen in your life. You talk about. You talk about your dad. You may have heard back my dad is here. I want you to make him feel bad by non choking. If you hadn't, you would have a tough and in the matter Can immigrant Father one of the issues on the show that makes me laugh every time I hear it might I would like to know what you ve ever Color Stanford

so describe a little bit what it was like to grow up in California with really tough, indian american dad yeah, I mean you know. Just as you are the prodigal son, you are December to their Mfa. Yet to deliver the barometer pride rock so you know, there's just you know the classic cardinal rules. No fine! No friends! No girlfriends! You gonna find unmet school. That sort of the fact what the golden rules are an icon. It's like on the wall, you gotta know final friends: Mcgovern's got an alien, quite meanness, P said, look with alien parents, conditional love, oh yeah yeah, which I thank you get the a migrants are right here and now make it you know what you know. What's greater me, what do you mean? What what do you mean conditional love? I think that you just have to check certain boxes. Euro underlined

biology ever see like certain families, when there there's like five kids like like it's like a daisy family like that, and I'm like all right like there was a few mess up along the way. It's kind of like it when you watch a franchise and they don't. It doesn't work out the first time they draft. You know like the Knicks right they haven't had some good picks and, like I posing ass, it were so, I think, you're younger brother was the poor thing of your family. Your to nobody, you, let's be honest. If you had the title for a long time here, I was good yeah I became the United attorney. For the frickin southern district of New York. Here, Do you have, in fact to be not crazy or not racist, Jeff sessions, you weren't,

Do you want to write? You sometimes get over funding to places like to go to like big from holiday parties and then humble brag? How I know you so I ll just like lock into like a scam in hollow. Party and be like there's. No, I know prepare our right and not just their pants ass. You like AIDS, their passing billboards and Bree. Rather like the pie. As you know, a crazy. This is true. You know with all the crazy stuff. That's going on right now I was able to set up the interview with pre people. Ask how'd you do it slid into the dance? It's true you're, my family, my first, the F B. I was like a seminar because I see you did that one is corresponds in again and I thought you were Camille Non GM

Right, I was confused until you do anything. He dropped his accent for this gig. Pretty incredible, you should do. What are you gonna do wrong come up. I am I gonna do around the table. They call it a call. I like I like what I'm doing right now. I, like my job until if I ever get vital, also start up. I guess I can I be on it like Zaire to it in the sight of a knowledge of how would call it sounded out because something different. So one of the things you talk about the back to my questions, scribble on a sheet of paper, you talked about this issue. The people have when their concern about what other think right and you and you have is very poignant story- the white girl

your high school right asks you to the prom right and you and you show up there and there's another boy red who's. Not south asian does not have occasionally he's very caucasian. Talk about every second yeah I mean I'm one of the themes at its heart about in the show, is, is this idea of like what will other people think, and you know, and in India look. I can get right. What are people going to say? What are people gonna think I think, does, the biggest pressures that a lotta our generation. We deal with growing up where we feel that pressure from now they society, but our parents, sometimes where the victim of it and sometimes were the ones that actuated, not something. I really wanted to explore and the special that's bad yeah when people say my recollection of the show is this: is nice family from Nebraska? and you're, not from Nebraska yeah me look the way you look and they said something like

You know, what have you got a year would be a good figures and pictures backed our family and that's terrible. Look like look getting at you. Will people think that's racism, re sort, but are there some circumstances in which its actually good to worry? What other people will think, because that set some standards in this present? For example, doesn't seem to give a shit. Yeah Loki, Archaic, Asia. He doesn't care at all. Yet anyone thinks, but I love you know what it is or something that's good about that. I think that I think that look. If you have, you know the audacity of a mediocre. Why do that's actually pretty amazing just the sort of unbridled confidence I mean? Sometimes, if you ever go to night club- and you see white people dancing unlike, I need to live like that, just now rhythm, no heir to one. What I'm like? That's, how you guys conquered the world just like

it's my world. Like me, while people of color right, like I gotta say I got a dress right, I gotta be on the beach is. The last thing I want to do is yes, so I think if you can not be worried about what people think, but the thing they get a couple it with his empathy. So if you can have sort of that kind, yet you can drink your college use in the morning also have empathy. I think that's a very, very good combination. And I just I hope that my kids, you know hopefully have like that audacity of equal, City of like I can be whatever I want to be in people going to judge based on my merits and I'm not accept being treated differently for anything else. How do you do? the use of the thing

the show that really struck me when you're talking about this incident, where the problem, because these people were nice to you. Yes, you have been to their home. You would have dinner with them. Yes, you, as you say in a show and revealed you had kissed their daughter red and you will not give away all they're gonna, anywhere ban and he said I gotta get it observes hours. I feel so we have to cross the line too much out. Look, I have no power anymore everyone. But but you said, I think this is this. This is a painful thing. You said you said I didn't. And I want you talk there I didn't know people could be bigoted even ass. Her smiling at you, What does that mean and what does that mean for people who are trying to do something about bigotry? I think

So what's interesting, the thing that I wanted to talk about in the special is that I think a lot of times, people they think tolerances enough and I think one eye in the prom story. What I was trying to cross over is is sort of like full on acceptance and love, and so I think what happened there was this like: hey, I'm, ok with you, but hey, not if you're China, not at my back yard, and that was that sort of the promised to four yeah. That's that's too much. You know in southern come and you can have like the Salisbury steak at our home, yet that sort of racial tension isn't isn't new in this country. Right I mean it's like people below go up. I'm not not like bigoted round racists but hey it's also married your son, her daughter, hey where I won't this easy that to me love in a sort of being willing to share. You know. Family, I think, is like that's the true testament of like. Are you really colorblind?

acceptance of people so how'd you get people to change their views When do you think of comedy as a tool for that or is comedy just to make people laugh? kitty preaching all the time. You don't do that you're, not a prosecutor and you're, not a proselytizing yeah! You do. You do comedy right how there is a matter of theirs is there's ways useless because you said a thing when you said you said jokes for jokes sake are kind of meaningless to me. I understand the value of them, but it doesn't speak to me as much. You can lace your argument with jokes baton Why you're presenting this argument? What does it mean? So how important is it to you as well as a profession? try to make your way and in in your specials and on the daily show, to have meaning in your comedy, I suppose it just making people laugh. I think that the biggest thing that we talk about it at the daily show like in this started from Johns era is it'll start in them.

Fifteen meeting and it'll be, what's your take, so what we're all in, like? What's up groups and tax group, people are exchanging news articles. Did you see this? Did you see that? Did you hear about this and your Acre your position on the matter is what that's, what makes our show what it is that what is at stake? I don't know it taking an argument and argued that point of view appoint a clear pointedly so I'll give an example like this is this. Is it take that I did like Obviously the big election in Alabama run more rights, and I was like on this- is that this is the taken argument is like cut em with Europe. Can party really? Is the mafia like? If you give your loyalty and kissed the ring come on come all racist, sexist pedophile. They will protect you right there like standing there, though there, like all hold, don't barge iceberg comment. It doesn't matter so I was like damn. Isis should. When the Republican Party and then from

but, like their misunderstood, you know my sister tough, their top on crime and in so like that that, but its setting up there human rights and then like, then you can have all the sugar. So to me, the jokes, jokes are really easy. Jokes are super easy there, the easiest part. Do you think you think less of people have you and you have a lot of talent. Less of people who have your type of talent, transformative, transcendent ability to speak. To me, through jokes yeah right into stories. Yes, you do in your special and comedy, do think less people who do that, only to make people laugh knights and, in other words,. Given the time they were in rare it does every committee, have to have a message and argument or not. I just think right now we're living in a time or cerebral a sexy like remember ten years, God yeah do like it's, it's like free.

Forty five, I know create like their popping. You understand you can you can you could be like I'm a professor than William people why there was a time, as you know remember this. Ten years ago it was the era of the man baby. It was like grown adults like in diapers, the hang over Zachary Access, welfare age, the jock yeah, but not the job of just like now, like every story was it's like I'm off in another, I'm thirty five years, all it and then guy poles are ridiculous like ridiculously attractive and really intelligent woman like TAT I go and then you'll be all right, you're a loser, but I guess I'll go for you and it was like completely unrealistic to hang over was like that. Knocked up was like that. It receives completely and MR plots and now we're living in a time. We're reality is stranger than fiction so like we don't need wig comedy right now

I'm saying, like you, don't mean like if orders restored in the force and all that stuff, I think we'll get back to like slapstick stuff too. But I think, every comedian has there there there superpowers, like that's, not my secret, what Europe should now you're no indefinitely. Knowing I I want me to draw out of you know, I think I think it's more serious than it is silly, but like so silly it I'm like X, Ray vision like now, but you know what I mean like my my superpowers, I can tell serious stories and sort of like a funny way verses like guys who can just like get up there now sure, like a man versus guys who, like can do voices, impersonation. That's I can't do that, but that workers are going to hold you back. I want you to succeed in line America when I think of it I think I'll be ok. Yeah are you? Did you talk to my

before this everything, doing it is like a proud of you, and you know this good I'll go way right. Like I mean you better learn how to do a person. I know I can I can these possible here, I'm like sitting on a magic carpet with you I can say this is like a mug stay tuned mugged. You talked about something in your show. And it has some residents today. You said in a growing up most American, the hyphenation in Davis, California, very far from grounds but your software in college. When I'm leavin happened and you sit in the Show- and I am assuming this is true, then, after that you had, we worry about back in your father's that something like don't tell you when you're muslim right in some people,

nasty things to your family into your house, they. We had a terrible event right here, and I've heard from a lot of people that I know we're muslim and not muslim in from various parts of the world. When you hear the first bid of news that bomb has gone off or through the shooter and active and operational terrorism, whereas we used to call it an you and you're hoping pray, I hope it's not yeah a Muslim, and I hope it's not someone from my part of the world do you feel about today how to react to the events of today. As yet tough I mean the toughest part about all of it is the collective guilt right is ass. If something happens in, you have to hold your breath, because not because you had any

to do with this action? Its this? The blame by association thing that other people that I worked with her than I communicate with in the community or in the city. Dont have to deal with would say like a Stephen paddock or a Dylan Roof, richair laughter right, and I'm kind of incomes hang yourself gotta help there. It's a white person sat as that is what I mean. Is it still it still awful thing just one of those things where it's like a man like. I hope it's not because I don't want to sort of live with this plan, but also the sort of a lot of the repercussions, are just hate crimes. You know to other people that may or may not be muslim. Just they have melanin in, like that's, that's awful tube beyond just like the selfish, feeling like. Oh, I don't want to effect my friends and family. I just think on the biggest thing, I'd try to figure out his like. How do I

this really really ugly notion of at least two of the rules of the game in America. The idea of a collective guilt like if you from a minority group you get lumped into that one bad thing that your community, sort of known foreign? How do you beat? I sometimes feel I feel helpless. I can't I can't when that game like if you I could be like saving a kitten from like a burning tree and like I can bring we bring the kitten down. It's gonna be like you hear about what happened at Port Authority, a black eye FARC Intranet, like I feel like not a beat this game, but it doesn't says what it feels like a tooth. So how do you think. That through your work or otherwise, you educate people about difference diversity so that people are going to that conclusion short time. Something bad happened, my biggest I consider myself. Being angry optimist. Yes, oh I'm not happy with the way things are in no Mandarin Mussolini's running the country, but but I'm like, I am optimistic about

incredible potential that America would you angry about so does this take but their severally? Would you most angry about you know, I'm just I'm angry at like the state of a lot of things like the election showed was to me. It reflected oh, there is a large enough contingency in this country that believes in some of these sexist racist, homophobic, xenophobic things and to me all the other things he was promising. They were willing to take that deal to get call jobs back right. You know, I mean like that to me fundamentally was really really painful and hard to deal with My hope is this, I remember being this is round away when Obama's running for office right and remember when he was on the campaign trail. Someone yelled out during. I think one of his opponents was he's a Muslim and then and John occasion

the king was now he's a good person and my my dream is: I will I'm fighting for a data. Someone says yes, so what so one and that to me we're not gonna drive for yet another. That's that's what I'm gonna do you think tat, I should have done more to investigate the spelling bee. Above all, they ok, because you talk about your show also- and I was largely nothing- so the people know that only Indians are permitted to win the scripts norm as well. I won t like me: best Indian, when, as I want one

regard thing not dominate six six in Europe, we are like the bulls lights up of spelling like I have I have so I dont like that stereotypes are talking about, like you know, he's its root causes ridiculous. So my kid sometimes I'm smart. I just like I don't like to be so associated with a particular thing, like members yeah. How to spell out, I think, they're natal ahead I know you did, but there is a remix to it like this year, Vizir Remix do yeah like, What I mean by God, I'm very good I mean by that- is that my dad is you so think about it, like a strain of marijuana create their adding there's new elements. Here's what I like ten!

God we, like all man model minority men like, but to me what was cool this year is that the kids, who wonders like two kids, who one and one of the kids not only spelled his stuff right but then, like also dad and taunted, is opponents. There was like I'm smart as fuck and I'm an alpha deal with the Chad? And I like that to me Run America. Ok, like that's the new wave and into me. Just like? Oh I deal with that. We're here, you can't you. Can I gotta get I gotta get more, so I actually sometimes tell my three children, occasionally misspell stuff not just so they're, not pigeonhole man, Nominal rebuilt sexy man, just like you did. The windows corresponds dinner, and no yeah how'd you. How do you feel about that with the present? Would you prefer

Present to be their gap measure, would you change your comedy if he had been there we'll get? I mean everything we have been like he's not here, and then it would have been like he is here. I would have done the same jokes like we're like. Would you have been scared, I'm like I would have gotten it. It would have been too fast. Like you know it is you saw when South roasted them at twenty eleven. He was just six sitting there like like. It was just like you, these are meant to view orange cement use, but you believe the view that some people have distorted some people of spun, in part. It was the humiliation he felt at an earlier. What has correspondence dinner to cost about it to rise sure but lie in which case we should shut that

thing now now like like to me. That's like really like, ok, sure, out of out of a correspondence dinner set of thirty minutes. Three minutes of jokes herb pointed at you, and then epithets pointed at CNN and MSNBC and the president. Everybody else takes it like you just a baby, you can't take a joke like correct. That's my problem. That's like my fundamental everybody dude, I'm the cool tradition of the dinner, and this is why I was fundamentally bothered by so much is that every president has attended event, minus Ronald Reagan and hidden attend one here, because he was recovering from a gunshot wound and even then he found him. He came in view video to be like hey. I respect the free press and all that stuff, and it's one of the great american institutions where a comedian, irrespective of their background, can stand on the stage and make fun of arguably the most power

for people in the world and show that no one is beyond the reach of the first amendment. That is such a cool everything that a lot of other democracies on paper don't allow you know, and so that to me, really bother me. He sees a person who abuse is that right every day you know three clock in the morning and then you like me sport and show up and be part of an every comedian who's been a part of that tradition has been cutting, but not cruel, and so it's like hey come play. Ball like this is like an amazing tradition that we can show the rest of the world, but you have, as he doesn't care about those things so you're

great, you say, you're an angry optimist yet, and I've heard your everyone has a boss. Trevor Noah is here. Basic issues remains about here, so I her Trevor Noah and the then talk about this with issue of so much stuff. They have to process without front. We talk about a back safe from and that you can equally outrage and all of it, you gotta figure out the things that really matter and what you do know oppose or not oppose an indifferent things are funny or not. Funny but but have you? How do you manage the anger and have you decide what things motivate you to do more you're, not, for example, I once gave a senator tweet after doubtful

said something like was. It was found to be saying that we, like the White House, is a dump in a lot of people are outraged by that and I wrote on the list of things to be outraged and upset about sound the top fifty and people too. Back to me. I am able to multitask in my outrage. It's all part of the same thing, and I get that but if you live in America now and all sorts of assaults, I think are happening. On the forgotten, but I dont think those people saying that are married because you gotta pick and choose your battles when gutters vice or have you pick two real come on man like come on, we're grown like you, gotta pick your hills to die on, so so what thing I want you back so so tell me: how will what if you care about the country, care about what's happening in Europe, set about what's happening in your angry optimist like you are. What are you folks,

and what do you let slide like my thing is. This is like I'll give you prime example like The New York Times they had Miss tweeted image when he went to go visit, the New England Patriots and they posted this photo that they were like. I'm not. You know the players attended, and it basically presented itself to show that a lie, the staff had boycotted when in reality they were some of those staff. Numbers were sitting in the audience and it gave him and ammunition and me, I'm like why take that EL, like it's, it's agent, Orange, there's so much to make much fun of him for legitimately. Why miss represent that now? That doesn't exclude the fact that like, Hey that the other side of the Isle lies all the time and there's no recourse for it. I'm just saying we have two sometimes pick and choose our Rage beyond coffee and

likewise very funny that money, but like a big thing that I try to figure out, is like see beyond just between chasing like yeah, I'm seeing what's happening, I try to talk to people that are less smarter than me that that no this up better to be like as is happening in what is the context and what are the things that I should be thinking about as an informed. But how do you think about the issues that you will speak out about? outside of coming. So you rural letter, read an open letter with resolves Lafayette about gay marriage credit. Had you pick how'd, you decide to do that. How do you I want to speak about? What not to what's important do so without was something I could speak from from personal experience. For me I was like, I am I being publicly times. I endorse this, I'm so proud of this major amazing Scotus decision, because to me, marriage equality is a fundamental civil liberties,

issue and civil liberties are all or nothing here are to be so a rising tide, lips all boats. So the same thing, the same freedoms and rights that you know I am pretty too that I am allowed to have that. Allow me to go to pray or on Friday, with safety or the same safety's that the algae boutique you community should have when they get married like their rights should be honored just as well, it's irrelevant whether you were. They think that it should or should not happen right and so to me, it's an all or nothing game either you buy in for fairness and equality for all Eddie or it's a sham. So my letter that I read with Russia was like hey. This is what I just want to my community and I want to say this is a public figure, my community, that, like I got your back and I endorse you on this issue? I support you that was it, but can I ask, has historically. What is your view? What Islam says about that issue yet to me, like I treat religion, my curiosity

I put a good step towards me like I just issues by issues thing you don't owe me like, but what did you get? Did you get it till you get out Maggie Global from family or others yeah sure, but I'm just like you said by what what what did you say, update software? That's all I'm saying on that issue, I knew that data software. To me: these are more like all of it. You know you know, in my view Next, like you know my, what might my life's Emily she's comes from hand to family like so like to me all of these are allegories and how to like live a righteous good life. So to me, like that's that, sometimes the issue that I have would say extreme right wing Christians were they haven't regard to syrian refugees from like, oh keep them out of the country and, unlike that, some very Christ like right so like to me

anytime. I sees like an injustice within my group or any other group like I'm like hey, that's, not what the whole point of going to Sunday school going to masses about, so I'd, try to take the good stuff and leave the room That is how patriotic are you? What has patriotism to you, the lamp people trying to tell us how it bustle of Amerika, and I don't like then yeah as an immigrant. What do you think is special about America? I think we're grappling with what it means to be patriotic. I will say in terms of branding like the GEO Ps patriotism unlock like they're, like patriotism. Is the Dallas Cowboys its Jesus, it's standing for the national anthem, its guns like they have it like Coca COLA, Nike like they have the branding of it down and then like the left, we're just like all over the place.

Like action, like a college, Improv Group we're like what is happening in this. What is going on a bunch of like what is happening with so what are we supposed to be? So? What is what I do know, but like it, you can draw two suggestions like areas like Bernie Antigua like Quarry Booker's like pre What is happening in the sea? What's goin someone we ve seen we gotta like order, but I'm getting you I'm giving you a chance to write the play books. I don't I'm not in due time You are a tie, I know, but I'm not last question: do you remember how do you define the american dream? Have you lived it yeah, I? third, the moments. I think that to me, the american dream is just being unapologetically yourself and succeeding at that. Pretty good, don't go

ground while I and the show, but, ladies and gentlemen, rising star. Not rising, risen and further rising stamina For the record, that is your first, like I guessed right, yeah man, he should do this often right You haven't seen the India about her mother. This is the kicker. So if you listen to the park ass- and I assume at least a few of you- do. Towards the end the park ass? I end with a story about news that struck me in a certain way was important to me personally. In fact, the parlor show that I care about in some ways the most, and I never wanted to be something that someone handed to me.

It's gotta be something that actually was touched by and sometimes it's about race, and sometimes it's about people going outside the parson divided, it's all sorts of different things. So this week, since we have alive, show and given the particular audience, I have The most important news in my lot in life is that my. Mom and two things my mom and dad last. My last show last Friday celebrated there one millionth wedding anniversary, and this good thing is that my mom has a birthday. That's not quite today, but it's on Wednesday, because I'm a terrible, sun and didn't plan properly

I will be on business in San Francisco on Wednesday, arms birthday is on Wednesday and I'm not must say how old she is But it's a milestone, I'm gonna say fifty and I just want to say so. I appreciate all the support of the crowd. And my amazing guest light and the people who wrote questions, but the person my mind my debt, both who have been the most supportive of any one you could imagine in the world and every Thursday in my new endeavour. I wait to hear

from my mom and to get the text from her and cause she's, my mom? It's always positive, but there are gradations of positive. So I can tell what you really loves it when she doesn't she mostly likes it. I thought about reading aloud that steel birthing, that's covered by the parent child privilege that dialogue has established but they're really funny I just want to say thanks mom and thanks dad, and I thought since I'm not gonna, be here on Wednesday to do this, and since. Like nine hundred people here. Mom. Where are you usually not shy to stand up for a second.
