Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. From New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that invented news.

This is the Daily Show with your host, Michael Costa. Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Michael Kocke, this is my third night hosting and I'm really getting the hang of this. It's almost like I've worked here for years. Now, we have a great show for you tonight, so let's get into the headlines. Let's start in the Middle East. The war is now in its second week and shows no sign of stopping, but today, President Biden landed in Israel to try to help out. He made it all the way down the stairs.

Mission accomplished already. Off to a great start. And while he was there, he had some important advice for a country going to war in response to a terrorist attack. Justice must be done. But I caution this while you feel that rage. Don't be consumed by it. After 9-11, we were in rage in the United States.

While we sought justice and got justice, we also made mistakes. Wow. Wise words from President Biden. Anytime an American president admits a mistake, it's a big deal. So Israel, please learn from us, don't stay in Afghanistan for more than 20 years toss. But Biden's right. America made some serious mistakes after 9-11. Iraq, Guantanamo, frosted tips.

By the way, I'm sure his visit is appreciated, but as someone who has a parent, roughly the same age as Joe Biden, sometimes when they fly into help, it ends up being a little more of a burden than help. Don't mind me, don't mind me. I'm not even here. Just write down all the steps for how to get Hulu on the TV and I'll be fine. Hey, I'm happy to do the laundry. Just tell me where everything goes and where everything is. That's kind of what I feel like is going on right now. All right, let's move on to domestic news and talk about the speaker race. The Sonos won. Meanwhile, in the Congress about the speaker race. The Sonos won.

Meanwhile, in the Congress of the United States, the House is having its own speaker race, and it continues to be an absolute disaster. The House remains speakerless. Congressman Jim Jordan's second bid to become Speaker was defeated on the House floor. He actually lost some of the support he had in the first round. The people that are involved don't actually know what's going on. It is frankly embarrassing. The biggest circle jerk at the history of circles or

jerks. Apparently you can just say circle jerk on TV. What's next? Congressional leaders met today and what can best be described as a violent Bukaki. But that's right. Jim Jordan lost by 20 What's next? Congressional leaders met today and what can best be described as a violent Bukaki. But that's right, Jim Jordan lost by 20 votes yesterday, spent all night meeting holdouts one-on-one, trying to win them over, and then lost by 22 votes this afternoon. I crunched the numbers and it turns out 22 is more than 20. So he's doing even worse. So at this point, three Republicans have tried and failed to get the votes for speaker with no end in sight.

Which is why now there's a growing movement to just let the temporary speaker, Patrick McHenry, keep the job. And he seems qualified. I mean, he's wearing a bowtie. A bowtie says a lot about a man the the job. And he seems qualified. I mean he's wearing a bow tie. A bowtie says a lot about a man. It says that every morning he spends 20 minutes watching a YouTube tutorial on how to tie a bowtie and that's the kind of focus you want in a speaker. But more importantly, Congressman McHenry is perfect for the job because he's already there. Sometimes you just got to go with the guy who's already sitting in the chair.

I mean, Why keep looking? He's not fucking up. He's maybe even crushing it. He's maybe even crushing it. He's maybe even crushing it. Some people are saying. Maybe he doesn't have as many Instagram followers as some of the other guests, speaker candidates, but let's not over-complicate things.

He's right there, just give him the fucking job already, all right? Let's move on to a heartwarming story. New Yorkers get a bad rap for not caring about strangers. And it's true when tourists ask me for directions, I stab them. But thankfully, there's still good people out there. Firefighters responding to a call about a serious blaze inside a Manhattan high rise. A New Yorker is watching from an apartment down the street, can't believe his eyes.

From a distance, he thinks he sees out of control flames. I called 911, and within minutes, the streets were echoing with fire engines. But wait, those aren't real flames. It's the Yulog video. Turns out the video was being played on a big screen TV, which made the illusion of a fire all the more real from that window. Oh man, how embarrassing for that guy, especially after last week when he called the police

to report that shark nato. Anyway, what a heartwarming story that cost the city a quarter of a million dollars. And it was nice to see this man looking out for his neighbor's safety. Although it did make me wonder why he was staring at this particular neighbor's window in the first place. It was Allie Lyons' apartment. Oh, I see what's going on here. Go on. It was a rainy Saturday and I had to work a little bit so I got my laptop, I made some tea, I put on some candles and the fireplace.

I know. Welcome. Inside Edition brought the neighbors together. So this is where the fire happens. I was having a cup of tea here. Yeah. The one thing she's learned, I really do need to get curtains now. Yeah, you do. And maybe some pepper spray while you're at it. For more on this Ulog and or possible stalker story, we go live to Midtown Manhattan with our very own Desi Lydick. Desi, are you actually in that lady's apartment? Oh, no, no, no, I'm at my place. It's crazy. I've got a dangerous fire in here, too.

Just, you know, waiting for a super tall European snack to come rescue me. But okay but that guy who saw the fire was looking into her apartment that's creepy. Costa were you not listening to me he's tall. I mean did you see him he's like if Timothy Shalamey took his vitamins. But if a guy is basically stalking through his window that's not someone you through his window, that's not someone you want to date. No, that's not someone you want to date. Look, for me, this guy's got the two most important qualities.

He's interested in me and his apartment has a window. Did you... Did you see that guys? Like if Timothy Shalame had a window? Look, even if you're into the idea of a guy noticing you from his apartment, it's just not practical. This was a one-off incident. Guys don't just stare into random windows looking for fires. You'd be better off thinking about...

Excuse me, little lady. I thought I saw a fire. That's Jackpot. He's Paul. I can't wait for the wedding. Desil-Lydic, everybody. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, I save the planet, you don't want to miss it. John Stewart here.

to be good. John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, the weekly show. We're going to be talking about the election. Economics. Ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the Weekly Show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Let's talk about water.

It's the thing you hope you just sat in on the subway. According to doctors, we're supposed to drink water basically every day. And in America, most of us do that with the help of these. The number one packaged drink in the United States isn't Coke or Gatorade or even Haterade. It's bottled water. We Americans buy 50 billion disposable water bottles a year. And I know what you're thinking, oh shit, another depressing environment story. So can I not even drink water without ruining my children's future? But that's the thing. This is one environment story that actually has a

really easy solution. And I'm gonna tell you what it is, another installment of long story short. For most of human history, people got by fine without bottled water. For most of human history, people got by fine without bottled water. People got water from their well or the local stream or by throwing For most of human history, people got by fine without bottled water. People got water from their well or the local stream or by throwing a virgin into a volcano so it would rain. It was a perfect system.

But water bottles started to become popular in the 80s, mainly for health reasons. In 1986, the EPA warned Americans that their tap water and might be turning them into number two pencils. This might sound familiar to you if you, their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi might be turning them into number two pencils. This might sound familiar to you if you grew up in the 80s or in Jackson, Mississippi last week. And then marketers smelled money. And soon, bottled water wasn't just about health, but a whole healthy, sexual lifestyle. Keep your body at its peak. Drink Avion. Pure Avion spring water from the French house.

It's refreshing, it's natural, and it doesn't have one single calorie. Important berier. It goes with good food. It's what I drink instead of a cocktail. It's what I drink instead of a cocktail. It's what I drink instead of a cocktail. Sure but you can just say you've got DUIs, all right? We've all got DUIs. Look props to these water companies, they turned water into something sexy as opposed to something you just need to survive. These ads were basically like,

Oxygen. It really helps me lay pipe. So fast forward to today. Thank you. Great performance. So fast forward to today, and the average American drinks upwards to 167 bottles a year, usually right before a long-haul flight when I'm in the aisle seat. Hey, just be an adult and wear a diaper like the rest of us? Now you might be asking, where does all that water come from? The ocean? No, I tried that once. I got so sick.

In reality, in order to get bottled water to the masses, water companies like Nestle often suck up water from public lands for little to no cost. It's not awesome, right? We love it when multinational conglomerates find success. The problem is this creates a massive environmental impact. When these companies are called out for it, they come up with explanations like this. Nelson Switzer is Nestle Waters' chief sustainability officer. Some people would say, this is the people's water. Is it fair that you guys make so much money off of it? Nestle has water rights of course in this area. From a legal standpoint, of course it's fair. From a perception standpoint, I understand why people are asking that question. But water belongs to no one.

Oh, really? Really, Nestle? Water belongs to no one? That's the dumbest thing anyone has ever said about water. And keep in mind, Gwenneth Paltrow once said that you can hurt water's feelings by yelling at it. If water really belongs to no one, then why can't I go swimming in my neighbor Eric's Coy Pond? Why did it scare his kids, per the police report? But sucking up all the fresh water is just the beginning of our problems.

Making the bottles and shipping them to you, uses 17 million barrels of oil a year. That's enough oil to fill one million cars for a whole year or grease up Don Jr. for one weekend. Plus most bottles just get thrown in the trash. Oh, but I recycle it. Okay, thanks for putting it in the green bin before they send it to Malaysia where they put it in the trash there. And the stupidest part is it's altotally almost unnecessary. The majority of the country has access to safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe. to th th. th. th. the product to to thiii thi to thi the product to to to thi. the product to oil thi. the to oil to oil to oil the to oil to oil oil to oil thi. their to oil to oil. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their oil. their oil. their oil. thi. thi. too. too. too. too. toooo. tooooes. tooooo. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. The majority of the country has access to safe, free tap water. We're transporting a product from 3,000 miles away that we can get from our kitchens. In fact, most of the bottle water we drink is literally tap water, including aquifina and Dessani.

That's right. Dessani just takes tap water, adds fart smell to it, and that's how they make Dissani. And maybe you buy natural spring water because it's healthier, but it turns out not always. In fact, the study of Fiji water found that it has more arsenic than tap water from Cleveland. Yeah, you thought bottled water was safer? Turns out it's slowly poisoning you like a wife on date line. So considering that tap water is good enough for the vast majority of us, the solution to the huge environmental problems of bottled water is obvious. Boom! Problem solved! Using a refilable water bottle cuts down on fossil fuels, creates less waste, and could even save you $16,000 over its lifetime.

That's enough to pay for a luxury vacation or 16 shitty vacations. So long story short, this is like the easiest choice in the history of no-brainers. If everyone in the United States just went with the reuse of water bottles, we'd save money, solve an environmental crisis. And the best part of that is then that's one less environmental crisis you'd have to hear people like me bitching about. You probably already have nine of these. Open a cabinet in your kitchen and one will fall on you. And tomorrow, start using it.

That's how you save the plan. All right, when we come back, the incredible singer, Riannan Giddens will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?

Listen to the weekly show with My guest tonight is an award-winning singer, composer, an instrumentalist whose new album is called You're The One. Please welcome Riannan Giddens. Thank you for coming around. Thank you for being here. Thanks for having me. All right. Isn't that great? They're great. Thank you for being here. Thanks for having me.

Thank you for chatting with us. You are a MacArthur Genius Award winner, Grammy winner, Pulitzer Surprise winner. You studied opera in college, but this is what really got me. You write all your music with the banjo? I write a lot of my music with the banjo and voice and fiddle and whatever instrument I have around, yeah. When I think of the banjo, and correct me on this. But when I think of the banjo, and correct me on this, but when I think of the banjo, I know you will.

I picture that scene in deliverance and it's down in the south and it's scary and it's... Is that an accurate depiction of the banjo? No, and that's part of the problem is that media has really warped our idea of how American music came to be. The banjo is an African-Diriberi. It was th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and th, th, and thian-and-and-and-a, thian-a, thian-a, and thian-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-mion-a, I'm thian-a-a-a, I'm thian-a, I's thian-a, I I thianian-a, I I I thianianianianian-a, I I I I I I thian-a, I I I I I I I I I thi, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Ia, I Ia, I Ia, Ia, Ia, Ia-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-snanceeasea-snanceasea-s, I'ma-s, I'ma-s, I tha-s, I tha-s, I'ma was invented by people of the African-Diaspora and the Caribbean, and African-American people are co-creators of old time and what became bluegrass music and country music and it's only in the 19, yes, thank you. Yeah. But it's really in the 19, early 1900s and 20s when media and how we segregated American music into these different buckets in order to sell it. It just the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their and their their their c. their c. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their c. And their c. And American people and their c. And their c. And their c. And their c. And their c. And their c. And their their their their their together and their together and their together and their their their.aqa.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. And American and theirananan 20s when media and how we segregated American music into these different buckets in order to sell it, it just changed our perception and we've lost a lot of our history and so that's been a

drive of mine for a really long time is to change that. Can I be ignorant for a second? If you like? Guitar versus a banjo. I mean I know they look different but what's, what is the difference? I mean, how long? How long do you have? Yeah. Well, they come, they come from different, I mean, look, to break it down, the banjo really is, it is descended from a lot of different West African lute instruments, and there's a percussive mode about it. There's on a lot of banjos, there's five strings, a little, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, the, their, their, their, the, their, than, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thi, thi, th, th, th. So, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, than, than, than, than, than, so some, some, than, somea, than, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, somea, some, the's five strings, a little short string, which is a drone string, which means it's in one key and it's so it's very different and actually the banjo is more popular than the guitar

for a long time in America. The guitar is a relative latecomer, so it's kind of like the banjo is like our indigenous instrument, you know, if you are also, you have to remember all the indigenous instruments with indigenous people people the indigenous people the indigenous people the indigenous people the indigenous people, the indigenous people, the indigenous people, the, the, the, the, But in terms of America as a nation state, yes, I mean. No, but this is... They're still here, by the way, they're still here. But America as a nation state, a colonial state, whatever. The banjo is this co-creation between different cultures of working class poor people that, you know, made it and it's unique. Thank you for answering that question I know was, you know, I appeasing my question.

That's my job. Good, yeah. So opera. You're in town to accept the Pulitzer for this opera called Omar about an enslaved African Muslim that you took the memoirs and converted into an opera. Explain this. I mean we went from banjo to opera. It's all just... Yeah it's been really interesting because it was the opposite. I went to I went to Oberlin learned opera and then kind of got burnt out and went down to North Carolina

where I'm from and learned the banjo and then full circle came back was asked to write this opera about Omar and Ben Saeed, who was a Senegalese Koranic scholar at 37, sold into slavery, and it's just an incredible story because we're talking about like who gets to represent the American story, you know, and it's to complicate that narrative. There's all these different kinds of people who represent the American story. And he's when, and his autobiography was written in Arabic while he was enslaved and it's the only document of that kind that we know of in existence. And it's just a really special story. So I just feel amazingly overwhelmed by the fact that I got to make it with Michael Abel's my co-composer and that it's been honored with a Pulitzer.

It's just like, it's a dream come true. That's crazy. It's awesome. It's awesome. This is your latest album album. Big Face. It's great. I love this album cover. This is awesome. This album is a little more playful? Is that a good word to use? Totally. Than your previous albums. Was that an obvious choice for you? Yeah, I mean, for the last 15 years, I've been that girl at the party on a Friday night that you back away from.

She's just like, she's going to talk about slavery or the banjo or both, and I'm just like really not into it. And I just like, I was kind of getting over 14 years and just wanted to explore the other sides of my artistry. On this album though there is one very important song. Look at this, look this, look at this shot. Well you know the other thing is that I'm 46 and this is the first original record of like all original songs that I've made and it's like my first solo album was when I was 36 and so it's kind of like you do it on the time that it's time to do it you know you don't do it on anybody else's you know you just like you take the opportunities as they come so this was a

really amazing project with producer Jack Splash to just explore and to also say bleep the categories bleep the genres the genres right I'm just the the the the the th th th I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the th the the. the the. the the the the the the. the the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th I th I th I th I th I th is th is th is the the the the the the thea thea thea thea thea thea thea thea thea the. the. the. the the bleep the genres, right? I'm just saving your guys the trouble later. You know, just like, forget like what is blues and what is jazz and what is country? It's all the same thing. It's all coming from the same American well of cross-cultural collaboration. So I just like, yeah, put it in whatever box you want. It's just fun music, you know? I'm really inspired. I just had two acts that didn't clap once for me.

I'm really inspired by what you just said because it feels like everything that I've looked at with your work has true integrity, but then we're also mixing in the commercialism of the industry. And as someone who's trying to be a comedic artist, this make money and also stay authentic and make your work have integrity is near impossible. I've sold out, of course. But everyone wants to put you in a box. They want to tell you this. Oh, this is your demo. You sell to these people and this is speak to them. How are you navigating that? How would you advise a younger to to to to to to to to to to the younger to to the y y y y y y y y y y y y yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toei. toei. thi. thiiiiiii. thiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tell you this. Oh, this is your demo. You sell to these people and this is speak to them. How are you navigating that? How would you advise a younger artist to navigate that? It's really hard because it's antithetical to making art. Is the capitalistic

system that we forced artists to work within? So we're all having compromises. We're all having to figure out. Where's our line. And so my the the their, where where their, where their, where, their, where's, where, their, their, their, their, their, where's, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. It's, th. It's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's is th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It's is th. It's is th. It's is th.

It's really thease far out and it's like I just want to tell these stories and I've just been really lucky with the opportunities that I've gotten and I stuck to my guns. I said I'm doing what I need to do to make the world a slightly better place or to add to the positive conversation and I come back around and here I am doing it exactly as I want and being you know getting the MacArthur and being able to do so I just I tell young people you got to tell what is your story that you can tell that nobody else can tell and get people around you who believe in you in your story and who aren't out for what money you can make them and so I'm surrounded by an amazing team red light management none such who believed in me and I you know if waitingthis record, they let me do projects that I really felt, you

know, I was really, felt passionate about. And so it's really a given-a-take and you're part of a team and you just have to have people around you who believe in you. Yeah, and the passion then comes out in that project. Yeah, because it's way better because you're enthusiastic. Well, they might say they're looking for something else, but they're looking for that energy, that brightness, that passion, which you can only get when you're following your arrow, you know, and not trying to be what other people want you to be. And you see that a lot in the industry, and I was just like, you just got to do you.

I love that. I love that. I love that inspired you, the story of Kalif Browder and the song that you're going to sing for us called Another Wasted Life, you've teamed up with the Pennsylvania Innocence Project. Tell me how this story inspired you. Well, you know, it was this was a few years ago and I heard about the story of Kalif Browder who was incarcerated, you know, he was an innocent teenager, incarcerated for three years, and two of those were in solitary confinement, which is horrific. Yeah. And when he was released,

finally exonerated because he was innocent, I just keep repeating that, he couldn't really readjust to the outside world and he committed suicide. And yes, and I was just like, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th I the th I couldn't I couldn't I couldn't I th. I th. I couldn't I couldn't I th. I th. I th. I th. I thin innocent, I thin thin thin thin thin thin thinnenene thin thinned, thin- thin-in-in-in-in- he was an innocent he was an innocent he was innocent he was innocent, he was innocent, he was innocent, he was innocent, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi was thi was thi was just thi was just thi was thi was thi was just the innocent the innocent the an innocent the an innocent, the an innocent, the an innocent the an innocent, the an innocent the an innocent the an innocent the an innocent the an innocent innocent, th outside world and he committed suicide. And yes, and I was just like, I couldn't contain my anger at the waste of this young man's life of what we don't get of him. So I wrote this song, I put it away, and then when this album came around, the idea of this, I was like, this needs to be a centerpiece of this because this is what I do. But another wasted life is what I do. And so we reached out to the Pennsylvania Innocence Project because it's a huge problem.

People aren't aware of how many innocent men are sitting in jail, and men and women sitting behind bars because somebody wanted to close the case, wrong place, wrong time, witnesses telling, you know, being intimidated and telling lies. And it's so the the the the the the the the the the the they, it's is is so th is so th is so thi, it's, it's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thinininue, thi, thinue, thi, thi, thi, thinue, thinat, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin........ theeiiiiii... thin, thin.. And it's so easy to just forget about it. This is it. It's so easy to forget about it. Yeah and the thing is, it's like, so we're working with a lot of innocence projects, but we specially teamed up with a Pennsylvania innocence project and we made a video involving 22 exonerated men who between the 22 of them spent 500 years in prison because what

people don't understand is that once you are in, it's really hard to let you out because the system is not geared to letting people out, right? So even if you were proven innocent, like Chester Holman at 21 was convicted of murder and they finally proved him innocent and it took 14 years, 14 more years to get him out of prison. He was in prison for 28 years for a crime that he did not commit. So it's like, and all of these guys who participated in their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, th. th. their, their, the, the, the, th. thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th. th. th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. So, th. So, their, their, th. th. their, the. their, they. they. the. their, they. their, they. th. th. their, their, that he did not commit. So it's like, and all of these guys who participated in the video that I made with him and whose images you will see, they are all doing it because of the guys who are still inside. You know, because there's so many, and they said they're sitting, they're like in cages, like with no hope because it's so difficult to get out. So organizations like the Pennsylvania Innocence Project project resources, they need money, they need support,

because getting them out is actually just the first step. That's incredibly hard and then they need resources you know, to reintegrate. And so it's been a really amazing partnership to work with them because it's like not everybody, we all don't do thiiii. thiiii. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, tho, thi, tho, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their their their their their thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, th that we do, and then we partner with the folks who are doing what they do, and they've gotten so many men out of prison, and they're doing incredible work.
