From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Oh yeah! Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it. I'm trouble no. I would guess to not be more excited as an Oscar-winning actor who is back with season 2 of her

HBO hit show, Big Little Lies. Reese Witherspoon is joining us, everybody. We're going to have a great time. Also on the show, President Trump steps into the sumo ring. El Chappo wants to speak to the manager, and China is watching us. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's begin with the big news from Great Britain. For three years, Prime Minister Theresa May has been trying to make Brexit work.

But now, the only thing Brexit is her. Tonight, high political drama in London. After months of intense pressure and speculation, British Prime Minister Theresa May, finally giving up the job she'd always wanted, throwing in the towel. I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honour of my life to hold. I do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love. Oh. Oh. Aw. That was really sad.

But yes, Theresa May has resigned as Prime Minister of Great Britain. And this really was a metaphor for Brexit, this whole moment, because she says she's leaving as Prime Minister and then goes back into the Prime Minister's house. I thought you were leaving, shouldn't you go the other way? It would have been funny though if that door is locked and she couldn't get back in. If she was just like, the country that I love. Hello? Hello? It's locked. Barry, it's the Prime Minister. Actually, ma'am, you resigned. We changed the locks when you were crying outside. I'll also, I'll also never get over the fact that

the Prime Minister's house in the UK just opens out onto the street. Like, this is their White House, right? But it looks like you could just slip a Chinese menu under the door. Like, can you imagine running your government but having to deal with being on a regular block, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, I, I, I, I'm, I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, 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, I, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to thi. to to to to try, to to try, to to to to to th to thi, know, it's just like, we must mobilize our forces to protect, shh, there's kids at the door trying to sell candy. Everyone act like we're not here. Act like we're not here. All right, moving on. If you're sick and tired of Mount Everest. A human traffic jam

climbers packed like sardines waiting to summit the world's highest peak. Overcrowding in the so-called death zone can be especially dangerous because oxygen is scarce. We saw a climber that had taken a fall, had obviously hit their head, lost their life and that climber was fixed to the safety lines. And every single person that had to climb that night had to step over, you know, that person's lifeless body. Okay, I feel bad for anyone that has died. But I do have a question.

Why are we still climbing Mount Everest? This is a very serious question I have. Like, it's extremely dangerous. And don't ask me, just ask all the dead bodies that are up there. They don't randomly show up. Also, the guy said it was a safety line. If the person died on a safety line, then it's not a safe line. All of this shit is crazy. And then he's like, and we had to step over the body. No, you don't have to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to, to, to. to, to, 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 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 the the the th. th. th. thea. thea. thea. thea. toda. toda. toda. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. th. the the th. th step over the body. Like, you don't have to. That's a choice that you are making, my man. Let me tell you something, anytime I see a dead body, I go back the way I came. I say, thank you for the warning, dead body. I'm out. Like, I genuinely don't get the point. People are just littering on Mount Everest. Even if you get to the top of the mountain, it's already been done. Look how many people are climbing it. Look at how many people are there. We're six months away for them opening a Baba Gumps up there. That's how commercial has become.

And the craziest part, the craziest part about all of this is that the permit to climb Mount Everest costs $11,000. Yeah. So people are paying $11,000 to maybe die. Yeah. to maybe die. Yeah, let me tell you something, you give me $11,000 and I'll maybe kill you. Yeah. No snow, no travel, I'll just show up to your house with some gas station sushi and we'll take a chance. We'll just go into it from there. This is like a wild story. And finally, in some crazy news, El Chappo, the infamous Drug Kingpin and the world's most dangerous marshmallow is currently serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison. But people still aren't sure that he's locked up

for good. The infamous drug kingpin El Chappo managed extraordinary escapes from two prisons in Mexico. Now US authorities worry he is looking to do the same right here. Prosecutors are fighting a request by former Sinaloa cartel chief Wachin Al Chappo Guzman. The 61-year-old wants two hours of outdoor exercise a week, earplugs to block out prison noise and the ability to buy bottled water at the commissary. Prosecutors say the request for outdoor exercise for Alchapo is especially risky because the only outdoor exercise space at that Manhattan prison is on the roof. Ah, Al Chapo.

I love how everyone assumes everything he does is thors is tha is tha is is thu is thu is the thu is thu is the thu is thu the thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu the thu thu tho tho the tho is the the tho is the the the tho is tho is to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 roof. Ah, El Chappo. I love how everyone assumes everything he does is always a plan to escape. Anytime he asks for something, we all just reverse MacGyver in our heads, because he's like, could I please have some earplugs and bottle water? And God is like, yeah, right. You can knock me out with the bottle and then put the earplugs in the water and then they expand and then you can cushion your fall when you jump off the roof? Nice try, I'm not falling for that. Don't give him any work.

God damn, and he took my keys! Like one of the funniest details in the story is that Alchapo is asking to go outside to work out because he says his cell is noisy and too small and he doesn't get enough fresh air. and the air and the air and the airthat's just living in New York my friend. Yeah, that's all that is. Wait until you see how much your rent goes up next month. I'm actually thinking, here's my pitch. Instead of us stressing about El Chappo escaping from a New York prison, let's just send him to Britain. All right? Yeah, he's so good and escaping. to thi. thrown thin thin, thin, thin, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to that's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thee. the. theuuu. theu anyone can figure out a way to get out of the European Union, it'll be him. Or, in six weeks, he'll be standing at that same podium like, I tried my hardest, but I must resign. I cannot do this anymore. Goodbye.

Barry, Barry, open the door. God damn it, Barry! All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. Our main story takes place in Japan. Since ancient times, this proud nation has endured many bizarre creatures coming in and wreaking havoc all over their country. And over the weekend it happened, when President Trump landed in Tokyo to meet with Japan's Prime Minister. Now, President Trump wasn't just in Japan

to check out their impressive tentacle porn. No, he was also there for a four-day state visit about trade, North Korea, and military cooperation. And because of that, the Japanese bent over backwards to make Trump feel at home. Prime Minister Abe has used this state visit to continue his charm offensive with President Trump. It seems to be working. The president delayed tariffs he planned to impose on Japan and seems optimistic the two sides can work on a trade agreement. The two leaders also played a round of golf, complete with a selfie, followed by a lunch of double cheeseburgers.

We have the best relationship that we've ever had with Japan, and we're going to keep it that way. Yes, of course, golf and cheeseburgers. The classic Japanese cultural experience. You know, you know what? It almost sounds like Trump's mom sent a note to the Japanese telling them exactly what he needs for a sleepover you know because they had it all prepared it was like thanks for letting my Donnie stay over remember he only eats cheese

burgers and he's allergic to peanuts and tax returns and sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night to tweet just ignore it and he'll go back to bed okay have fun Donnie. By the way that whole that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that that that that that that that that that that that th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th th th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th th th th th th th th th th th th that is that is that is that is that is that that that that that that that that that that thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks that th ignore it and he'll go back to bed, okay? Have fun, Donnie. By the way, that whole helicopter parenting thing is very American. It's something that I discovered out here. It's like super-American. Like that shit doesn't happen in Africa when parents send their kids to another house. In Africa it's just like, if he doesn't eat his dinner, he him, eh? Actually, just bit him anywhere. I forgot to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to just, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. It's, thi, thi. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's is, th. It's is, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It's th. It's the the. It's the. It's the. It's the. It's thee. It's theeeeee. It's theeee. thei. thei. thei. It's the. It's thi. It's the. I forgot to do it earlier. So Japan was actually successful in getting President Trump to delay his tariffs, right? And they agreed on new terms. But when it came to presenting a unified front against North Korea, it looks like a double

cheeseburger just wasn't enough. President Trump says North Korea's recent missile test are not an issue for him. The president disagreed with Japan's Prime Minister at a news conference in Tokyo overnight. The President dismissed North Korea's test earlier this month of short-range missiles, some of which could be capable of hitting Japan. It doesn't matter. All I know is that there have been no nuclear tests, there have been no ballistic missiles going out.

He directly contradicted his own national security advisor John Bolton and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who say Kim Jong-un's test violate United Nations Security Council resolutions. I view it differently. I view it as a man perhaps he wants to get attention and perhaps not who knows? And perhaps not, who knows? I feel so bad for Japan. President Trump basically just said, because North Korea's missiles can't reach the US,

that's Japan's problem, not his. Yeah. Can you imagine the poor translator who had to pass the message along? He was probably like, uh, President Trump says, he does not give a shit. And, and to add fuel to the fire. Not only was Trump not standing up against Kim Jong-un. No, he took it to the next level. He teamed up with the Pillsbury dictator to fight the real enemy, the Democrats.

President Trump's also siding with Kim Jong-un over his recent comments attacking political rival former vice president Joe Biden. The Korean leader referring to him as a low IQ individual. Does it give you pause at all to be appearing to side with a brutal dictator instead of with a fellow American, the former vice president Joe Biden? Well, Kim Jong-un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low IQ individual. He probably is, based on his record. I think I agree with him on that.

Holy shit! Look, like, I know we've gotten used to Trump being friendly with dictators. But you have to admit, this is on a whole different level, all right? Taking sides with Kim Jong-un against Joe Biden? And I don't, like, I don't like to do the whole, can, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thiii, thii, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, this is on a whole different level, right? Taking sides with Kim Jong-un against Joe Biden? And I don't, like, I don't like to do the whole, can you imagine if Obama did this thing? But can you imagine if Obama did this? Like, imagine if he took sides with like the Ayatollah,

the Aetola, took sides with a foreign leader against an American. Like, imagine if he took took took thoomomomomomom-in if he the thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to to to to to to to to to th. tho, to tho, to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to to to too. right? If he was out in Iran, he was like, the Ayatollah says that Mitt Romney is so white, mayonnaise spreads him on bread. Am I right? Am I right? Yeah. To that, I say, yes, we can agree on that. That was funny. Imagine if he did that.

So not only did Trump go against Prime Minister Abbe and condemning Kim Jong-un. He also basically RSVP to the North Korean roast of America's former VP. But in a true testament to Japanese hospitality, they didn't let any of this phase them. In fact, they invited President Trump to a special event. They invited him to be the guest of honor at a major sumo wrestling competition. This weekend, Abe took the president to see a s s s the president the president the president the president the president the president the president the president to to the president to to the president to to to to the president to to the president to to to the president to see a the president toe to president to see a sumo wrestling match, something Mr. Trump has called Fascinating. Donald Trump is up close. A special position has been prepared for him far enough away so

that wrestlers won't fall on him. So that wrestlers won't fall on him? You have to admit, that's a smart decision. I mean, can you imagine if an American president was killed because a sumo wrestler fell on him? It would be too humiliating. Like, you have JFK and then this? Like, how would the news even announce what happened? Some horrible news at this hour.

The President of the United States has been smushed. Like, let's be honest, if that happened America would just have to close up shop after. You can't be a superpower anymore if your president was assassinated by a butt cheek. It's over. It's done. It's finished. So luckily, luckily the president sat far out of squishing range. And once the danger was over, he was allowed to enter the ring for a really special moment. The president presented a nearly 70-pound President's Cup trophy to the winner. As Sumo Grand Champion, I hereby reward you the United States President's government.

Wow. That's a good deal with the same. Wow. That's really generous for President Trump to give away the cup he drinks Diet Coke out of. What a gesture. That's nice. Wow, that's really generous of President Trump to give away the cup he drinks Diet Coke out of. What a gesture! That's nice.

And I don't know if you noticed this, but just as Trump was walking out of the ring, he gives one final look back. Just like for a moment he thought about taking on that sumo wrestler, do you see these eyes? And he's like, if I beat him, I become the rule of Japan. It's like, sir, that's not how that, the ruler of Japan. But seriously though, I do think it's cool that Trump participated and I think we should give him a little credit for attending the event. Yeah, because you know Mike Pence would never be caught dead in that room.

Yeah, think about it. It's two naked guys and thongs rubbing their buddies together. Yeah, forget a trophy. Pence would be giving them a Bible trying to convert them out of sumo. Jesus wants you to take up bowling, okay? Just move on. You just put your fingers in the hole. Oh no! Oh no! So that's basically President Trump's trip to Japan. And everyone came out a winner. That's good news. Trump had a blast, managed not to break his old cheeseburger diet.

Japan strengthened their ties with an important ally. In fact, the only loser in this whole thing is everyone at the White House. Because apparently, Trump brought back a little souvenir.

My guest tonight is an Academy Award-winning actor who stars in and produces the critically acclaimed HBO series Big Little Lies. Please welcome. Reese Witherspoon!

Welcome. Welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. I've never been here before. Yeah, it's great to have you. You're all big fans of what you do. Well, I'm a big fan of you. Your show is fantastic. Thank you very much. I think but- I'm sitting back there laughing.

Oh, that's what I hope. Let's talk about think very few people could have predicted in how it connected. I mean, everyone assumed because of the cost it was going to be successful, but a story about domestic abuse and the community where there are lies that are being told doesn't seem like it's going to be as viral as it's become. What do you think the show owes its success to? Well, I think it's sort the th think it's sort think it's the show the show th, I think, I thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the, thi. thi. thi. the, thoomoes. thoes. thoes. tho o' to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. to be toe, toe, toe, thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toe. toease. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. toe. toe. toe. the curtain about how women really feel. I mean a lot of us, Larger and Nicole Kidman myself, when we were doing season one, we would marvel at the fact that we actually had lines and scenes with each other.

Right. When, you know, so much of our early careers had been, we were the only woman on set. So now it was this real exploration into the private lives of women, like really dealing with serious issues, whether it was sexual assault or domestic violence, infidelity, we kind of tackled it all from a woman's perspective. It seems like an everyday world where extraordinary things are happening. That's what it really feels like in the space. And you have all of these women who are interacting with each other, but what's crazy, and I don't want to spoil what happens at the end of season one, but but there is a death death th death th death the death the death the the the the the the the the thi death thi death thi death 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, thi, and, and, thi, and, and, and, thri. and, thri.

We don't know who's killed or who has been killed or why they've been killed by whom.

But the second season, as we've seen in the clip, the second season, you... Should I tell you? No, don't don't spoil it. Oh, yeah. Are you sure? I feel like spoiling shows, don't spoil it. I know what happens at the end of Game of Thrones too. Don't spoil anything! Don't spoil anything, please.

Please. And Avengers and games. Please. No, please, we will censor everything. But they all die. No. No, I'm just kidding. You have Merrill Streep coming in for season two.

Yes. Yeah, that's like, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's's like that's... I mean... Okay. Does that just take everything to another level because you've already got like a stellar cost that everyone loves and then you go you Admiral Street but it feels like that's stacking that's unfair. Nicole and I'm pretty shocked when she wrote us an email and she said okay I think I'll join your show because I think it needs a boost. She was short kidding. We thought it was so great and then then. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N.

She was a short kidding. And we thought it was so great. And then day one, scene one, I had to face off with Merrill.

It wasn't that scene, but it was a very similar scene. And I was like, I got so tongue tied. I was like, I'm bad, but I was like, ah, but're Madeline, you're Madeline, you're Madeline, you're tough. And I was like, okay, now I got it. And I still went out there and I stuttered a little bit, but she was very thoughtful. She comes in playing a huge role as well though, because we do know that there's a man who's been killed in season one, and Merrill comes in, I'm not spoiling that part, but then, Merrill comes in as, as, as, as, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. thi, and I'm, and I'm, and I's, and I's, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I still, and I still, and I still, and I still, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and, and, and, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I..... And, she, she. She, she. th, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, I'm th. th. th. th. thrace. th th th th th throo. th th throomorrow, th thrown. thrown. thin, and, and, and, a mother, no, no, tell us. And Merrill comes in going, I want to find out what happened to my son. And it really creates a new dynamic. No, I mean... Well, they don't have no idea who dies now.

No, but who kills him? You're going to make me spoil the thing. I feel like I'm trying to avoid the spoilers. And you're like, you're like, like, the the the to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to too, too, too, too, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to to 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 tho, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the thin, thoooooooooooooooooooooomoomoomorrow, tooomorrow, tooomorrow, tooomorrow, too, to spoiling everything. But she comes in and creates a new dynamic where you now have a world where it's women who are together and then it's women who are fighting amongst them. So it really, it really changes the dynamic in the show. It does really, and I think what's really kind of fascinating too is because we have multiple generations in the show and it kind of talks about different waves of feminism and how different women feel about the response to a loved one being accused of a crime or whether or not her someone she's related to is

guilty of a crime. Yes. And also what is a mother's love? So it's a fascinating exploration of every side of it. Do you defend him? Do you defend his honor even after his death? And and I mean she was just amazing and she had so many great ideas to the fascinating thing is like not only do you get to work with her? But then you get to go and have dinner with her and she tells you all her amazing ideas. So you're just like, it's incredible. It's like a master class. I feel really great. I I genuinely think the show is gonna th is gonna th g th is gonna th is gonna th th th th th th is gonna th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi the show the show the show to to the show the show the show to to to 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the show the show. the show. the te. the te. tea. tea. tea. tell. tell. the the the tell. the the the the really grateful. I genuinely think the show is going to get even bigger if that's possible just by adding that addition to the show and the storylines. But it feels like this is very much what you are all about right now. You have a production company right now. You have a production company. You have thrown. You have you have that's been really in successful. it feels like the storytelling that you have is really in touch with stories about women, but not stories that are for women, stories for everyone, which people for some reason

didn't realize you could make. Has that been your mandate for the company? Yeah, I think, you know, a few years ago, I just decided I was sick and tired of reading terrible parts for women, and if it wasn't good enough for me and it wasn't good enough for my daughter to be watching how women were represented in the world. So I just decided to do it myself and started buying books and turning them into TV shows. And I just finished one with Jennifer Aniston, which is really great for Apple. And then I'm starting, my next one I start next week is with Carrie Washington based on a book called Little Fires Everywhere. You read like four or five books a month?

I read a lot of books, yeah. And then you just go like, I'm going to turn these into movies. Some of them, not all of them. No, I mean like the ones that you really love though. Yeah, the ones I really love. You just take your passion and you and you create something. female experience than what we're really seeing in film and television. And the great, the emergence of streaming has made that just an opportunity to broaden the storytelling for women and for every person that feels like they haven't seen themselves represented in film.

It's a great time to be a creator. People love you because you represent stories, you are a fantastic actor on screen. You're one of the biggest names in Hollywood. And also recently, because you've been a face and one of the main, you know, propulsive forces in the Times Up movement. That movement gained steam because it was women saying, hey, we're sick of these ideas that are happening. We're sick of these things that are happening to us, and time is up. When you look at what has happened from the time you are to, to, to, the to, their, to, to, to, to, the, to, the, the, the, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their, their, 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, and thi, and tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thooomoomooomorrow, thooooo, to, thoooooo, thoooooooo, and their, their, their, their, and their, and happening to us and time is up. When you look at what has happened from the time you are part of the inception and you look at how far we've gotten now, what are you most proud of and what do you still think

we need to work on? Well, I think you know, women need to feel safe in the workplace. I mean, I think if women in Hollywood are standinglands and our sisters who are working in the restaurant service, so the hotel workers. And I think the thing I'm proud of the Times-Up movement is raising $22 million for a legal defense fund through the National Women's Law Center. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah. So, it's, you know, it's not about a bunch of Hollywood women saying, you know, boohoo,

poor us, it's actually going, what can we do for our sisters who don't have any legal recourse and how can we use our collective influence to help them? So, and band together because we are inns together and the more, you know, we do for each other, the better we all are. I'm excited for everything you're doing on screen, off screen, thanks.
