This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for shooting, and I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight. Our guest tonight is a tremendous comedian. Thank you so much for shooting, and I'm Trevor Noah.

Our guest tonight is a tremendous comedian, tremendous comedian kicking off his new world tour this week. Eddie Azad is joining us, everybody. Also, on tonight's show, Roywood Jr. Steels Trump's lunch money. Game of Thrones, travels into the future, and we'll find out which lucky country gets to go to war with America. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with some big news about a little baby.

It's a boy for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. People across Britain are celebrating the new baby who arrived past his due date. Megan and myself had a baby boy early this morning, a very healthy boy. Mother and Baby are doing incredibly well. It's been the most amazing experience. I can ever possibly imagine how any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension, but we're both absolutely thrilled. Yes, congratulations to the royal family. This is such an exciting moment for them and also for those two horse doctors who apparently delivered the baby.

Good work, good work. And you know what, let me just say, it was really nice to hear Prince Harry talking with such admiration for what Megan went through, you know, because you realize, not only did he just watch his wife give birth, that's probably the first time Harry seen a royal family member perform labor of any kind. He's like, Megan, Megan was doing this thing called sweating, and I'd never heard of it. But the doctor says it's quite normal. Now, since the new baby is biracial, there's been a lot of debate over what his name should be.

Some people are saying he should have a traditional, royal name, but black people want his name that, like a name that reflects his African roots, you know, and I don't know what it's going to be, but I think they should give him a boring white name, but then he gets to pronounce it with black flavor. Yeah, that way when he's with like he's boring white friends, he can be like, hello, my name is Charles. But then when these black people be like, hey, what's up? Y' all their own? What's going to their tho's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what, what, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, that, that, that, 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.. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th. that, th. th. th. th. news, America's royalty is celebrating a milestone of their own. Now to a first in the world of beauty pageants.

Last night, North Carolina's Chestley Chris won the Miss USA title. For the first time ever, African-American women now wear the crowns of the country's three biggest pageants, Miss USA, Miss teen USA, and Miss America. Yes. Three. Three, three black beauty queens. That's amazing. That really is amazing. You know what, there's three? Finally, America is officially more horny than racist. It is cool that America's pageants are embracing a more inclusive idea of beauty,

you know, because it makes a difference. Although if you are very woke, you're probably conflicted by the story. Because it is beautiful to see representation, tha, thi thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, th. Three, th. Three, th, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, th. Three, thi. Three, thi. Three, thi. Three, thi. Three, thi. Three, thi. Three, thi. Three, thi. Three, three, three, three, three, three, thi. Three, thi. Three, thi. Three, you are very woke, you're probably conflicted by this story. Because it is beautiful to see representation, but it is still a beauty pageant, which many people consider problematic. So, how do you feel? You know? It'll be like finding out that there's an all-woman terrorist, yeah? On the one hand, it'd be like, I hate terrorterrorists but on the other hand it's like you go girls but still this is really good news so congratulations to all of these winners and this is great for America although now I worry about the backlash

because we've seen the story before the winners are black this year and the next year the winners will be the three most racist women you've ever seen be like I'm Miss KKK and my talent is blackface. All right, let's move on from a historic victory to a victory that was taken away. The Kentucky Derby. It's the biggest competition to see how weird Americans can dress. And also, horses run at the same time. And this year's race was even more exciting than most.

We're going to begin this half hour with a stunning twist in the Kentucky Derby. For the first time in the race, his 145-year history, the horse that crossed the finish line first was disqualified for interference and country house, a 65-to-one long-shot crowned the champion. While one horse and his jockey celebrated what they thought was a Kentucky t, claiming the winning horse should be disqualified. The drama played out live on television. The crowd was waiting through an agonizing 22-minute review. All before, they finally declared the 65-to-1 long shot,

country house as derby champion. Wow. I did not realize there were so many rules to horse racing. And you know who else didn't know that? The horses. Horses are not aware of most rules. It's one of the reasons horses aren't allowed in strip clubs. They don't respect the no-touching rule. And you know who I feel bad for? Is the people who bet on the first horse, right? The horse that won and then got disqualified, because 22 minutes is a long time to think you've won a lot of money.

Like, you know there was some dude at the bar who was like, yeah, drinks on me! I'm buying a Ferrari, Carol, it's me. Let's get married, baby. What? What? Disqualify? I think you got the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong the wrong you got the wrong number. Bye. And finally, moving on to some entertainment news, Game of Thrones.

Last week, people complained that the episode was so dark they couldn't see anything. This week, people are complaining that they saw too much. Eagle-eyed Game of Thrones, viewers spotted something out of place in Winterfell. Yes, that appears to be someone's Starbucks cup in the shop. The cup is now a trending topic. On Twitter, is Starbucks everywhere? Oh, shit. Forget the White Walkers, the white gentrifiers are coming.

Next thing you know, a one bedroom in Winterfell is like three grand. Shit, that's probably why there's only three black people in the whole show. We all got priced out. But no, I'm gonna be honest, I love this so much. Like, I just feel bad for the intern who screwed up. Yeah. Because knowing Game of Thrones, that intern is definitely getting his head chopped off. That's how it goes. Also, also, why do we th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu, thu, thu, thu, I thu, I thu, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thu-I thr-I thrown, I'm thrown is thrown is thrown is thrown is thrown is thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I'm thu, I'm thu, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm going thrown, thrownee, throwne, throwne, thrown, thr-a' thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thr do we assume that this is a mistake? Why are people angry? They don't have Starbucks in Westeros.

Oh, you're telling me you can believe in a world where dragons are real, but a too go-cup is too crazy for you? It's called the power of imagination, okay? And another thing is, that isn't even the first time that Game of Thrones has used product placement. It's normal. Like, remember that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene that scene Like, remember that scene from last season? All right, let's move on to today's top story. Tast the rainbow! All right, let's move on to today's top story. America hasn't been involved in a war for years now.

I mean, unless you count Afghanistan and Iraq and Yemen. And like 11 other countries, America has military operations in right now, but that's not like a war, all right? Unless you live there, then it's a war, but not if you're from here. Anyway, now, it feels like America's inching closer to an official war with any number of different countries. So, we thought we should take a look at which countries could win that honor in our brand new segment, America's next top battle. First off Iran, America's nemesis and this year's 195th most popular spring break destination. Tensions have been rising with Iran, America's nemesis and this year's 195th most popular spring break destination.

Tensions have been rising with Iran ever since President Trump reneged on the nuclear deal. And now, it looks like things may be reaching a breaking point. Breaking overnight, the U.S. is sending an aircraft carrier and air force bombers to the Middle East in response to a potential threat from Iran. Officials believe Iran or its third-party proxies have been planning an attack on U.S. forces in the region. The U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln Strike Group is now heading to the region. National Security Advisor, John Bolton releasing a statement overnight that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.

Wow. Unrelenting force. Yeah, that is a major threat and an intense Stephen Seagull movie. Now, this threat didn't come directly from the president. It came from John Bolton, National Security Advisor and Elderly Mario Brother. And although he says this action is about recent tensions, if you look at his record, you'll see that for over a decade, he's repeatedly called for America to bomb Iran. And 10 years is a long time to have a beef. Like, you realize 10 years ago, there were no Marvel movies about women.

And now, there's one. Now, experts warn that America bombing Iran would be really bad, because it could destabilize the entire Middle East. And the Middle East is already a pretty unstable place to begin with. It's like you're playing a tense game of Jenga and then you pick the Hulk to make your next move. It's like, yeah, Hulk, I think if you pick the piece in the Hulk smash. That's why no one picks you contender in the race.

The U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says all options are on the table, including military action, when it comes to handling the unrest in Venezuela. President has been crystal clear. Military action is possible. If that's what the United States will do. We want the Venezuelan people not to have interference from any country from any the country the country from any the country from any any to any any to any to any to any the United States will do. We want the Venezuelan people not to have interference from any country. Whether it's China or Russia, you now have Iranians on the ground in Venezuela. The United States wants all other countries out of this nation. You know what I love about America?

Is that it's the only country that's willing to meddle in Venezuela to make sure that no medals in Venezuela. Like America reminds me of that guys, who's, their, their, their, their, their, thiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. And, th. And, thi, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, that's that's that's that's that's that's theean.aa.a. And, that's thi. And, thi. And, thi. And,dles in Venezuela. Like, America reminds me of that guy at the bar who sees other guys hitting on a woman is like, hey guys, back off! Can't you see she's not interested? Hey, I'm sorry about all these douchbags. You want to, you want to get out of here? So, so, will America's next war be with Iran or Venezuela? Well, it might be neither. Because right now, Donald Trump is threatening another war over trade with China.

Trade trouble this morning, the president threatening to jack up tariffs on Chinese goods and add new tariffs. Trump threatening to increase tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods to 25% from 10% starting this Friday. And he warned he could tax nearly all of the roughly $500 billion of Chinese exports to the U.S. The Wall Street Journal reporting China is now considering pulling out of those talks. Yes, two days before China was coming to negotiate at the White House. Trump has jeopardized everything by threatening a new round of of of to than than than than than than the thaniiiiii. their thea. thea. to their thea. thea. to thea. to to to to thea. to to thea. the. toe. toe. toe. toe. 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 t. t. t. the. the. the. the. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. ts. Yes, two days before China was coming to negotiate at the White House, Trump has jeopardized everything by threatening a new round of tariffs. And his argument is that he's doing this to punish China for taking advancances of America. But the truth is his tariffs are going to hurt American consumers

first. So this is a weird tactic. It would be like if Braveheart was like if we want to defeat the English, we have to stab Gregory! You're like, wait, what? Why me? We're like, don't worry, Greg, it's a tactic I learned from out of the deal. Now be a good lad and hand me my Starbucks cup. So... So... So... So who's going to be America's next top battle, Iran, China, or Venezuela?

Well, with President Trump in charge, I wouldn't be shocked if it ends up being all three. We'll be right back. 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. Welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is a comedian, actor and political activist who kicks off his North American leg of his Wunderbar World Tour this week. Please welcome, Eddie Izzard. Welcome to the show Eddie. How are you? How are you?

I am very good. You're looking good. Well, I'm quite, I do this running thing which, you know, I've tend to the try to tell people that I run because I've run these marathons before, thii. But now I keep it topped up with H-I-I-I-I-I-Ti, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, highensity interval training. So you sprint recover, sprint recover, sprint recover, just like tigers do, sprint recovers, or lions in Africa, spin-sponsor. And that's what we used to do as human beings when we were wild, now we're more domesticated, cake and television.

And so we don't do so much of that. thiiiii. sports people, you know, in the big sports, like, go football, football, everyone's football, spirit, recover, and that is the healthy stuff for you. So kids do that. Be like a tiger. Yeah, be like a tiger. Let's talk about the marathons for a bit. A lot of people may not know this about you, but you genuinely have run more marathons than the most human beings will ever in their lives...... I remember when you came to South Africa to run 27 marathons and 27 days in honor of Nelson

Mandela's 27 years in prison. And... And I remember like seeing that as a South African and I was like, wow, this is a little excessive. I was like, just like, just remember him. Just hashtag, hashtag, we remember you. I didn't do enough at the time. I didn't, you know, I was a student at the time, well, apartheid obviously went off a long time, I just didn't, I didn't eat the fruit and that was it.

And I just thought, that's not enough. So I thought, maybe know where I'm next gonna run but you almost died doing this technically well you see my my will but I got rabidomylac I tried in 2012 and got rabidomyelysis which is not fun I went back in 2016 and they couldn't work up my bloods and and my hydration right so day four was in hospital day five was in hospital, yes. In East London, in Eastern Cape, and a very cool nephrologist,

This guy was he was really cool and he said no no it's your kidneys are fine it's your hydration that's the problem we're gonna put three liters into you and you'll be peeing like a horse I didn't pee once that night so it's obviously dehydrated yeah I was a really dehydrated yeah but this is what I love it's like you you have this you have this personality where you when you when you set your sights on something it's th like 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 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 they. they. they. the they. the the they. the they. the the the they. the the the the the the the the the the the the to do the thing I'm going to run 27 marathons when you missed a marathon you then ran two marathons the next day or the

last day the last day the last day right again excessive but but this is who Eddie is it is I mean like for for people who know and love your story they they love you because of that you are somebody who's known for not just doing comedy but for the world doing comedy in how th how 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. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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 the the th. I I I I I's is is. I's is. I'm is. I'm is. I'm the. I'm the. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm the the the the the the the the the world, doing comedy in, how many languages is now? I remember when it was three, and now? It's now four, I've added Spanish to it, but I'm learning it in Spanish, do it in German. So wait, so it's English, it was French, and German. I remember when, yeah, in German, we were there,

and we were there together. And then we met, we're both th. th. th. th you doing it in German then I was like no why would I do it in German this was in Berlin yeah this was in Berlin? Yeah this was in Berlin and he was like no why would I why? I mean I want to stand as a member of parliament in my country from next year and but but why is that so important to to you to because you you because you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you th you don't do th you don't do th you don't do th th th th th th th th th the the the thi this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho the tho tho the tho the tho the this this this this this this year. I've said this for nine years now that I was going to stand in 2020. And this is an underlying political thing. It's hands across borders. The astronauts said this from either the Russians or the Americans. When they went up there, they look back, there are no frontiers. We've made these frontiers.

And I'm going out and saying this is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very the 21st century. I'm doing my shows in French, German, Spanish, maybe Spanish, German, French kids, Russian kids, whatever, they can think, well, I'll try it in a different language. And that just makes the melting pop melt, because we are all human. We have spent so many wars about killing each other. We have all been to the whole comedy in another language, I mean, like, I don't do it as extensively as you do, I'll write a joke in another language. You do the whole show in another language and then you like immerse yourself in that language. Do you think there's something in learning other languages that changes how you perceive

people who speak another language? Not how you perceive, you just realize, hey, they're the same people as us because some of them last, some of them don't last, some of them go, this is rubbish. They just have the same quirks and things as us. We do send to say the Germans are this, the French of that, the Chinese of this, they're not. They're all essentially human beings. Yes. Family, kids, a better life, working hard. We need to make it a farewell to se. the world, the world, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and we're, and we're, and we're, their, their, and we're, and we're, the same same same same. We're, and we're, the same same. We's, and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, and we's, and we's, and we're, and we're, and we're, and we're, the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same same same. to make. to make. to make. the same same same same same same. tooomkk. tooomorrow. tooomorrow. tooomorrow, we need to say say say, we need to make to say say, we need their the same same same same same. their the same same same. the same. tha. the melting pot, America was a great melting pot, it's made this great country and we need to make the world a melting pot and I feel that we've

either got to be brave and curious or fearful and suspicious and I'm trying to be brave and curious. You are doing that on a level because... I remember years ago when we met and this is one of the people who genuinely is one of the reasons that I'm sitting here today because........ th, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, thi, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, and, it, it, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, the, thi, the, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, and, thi, and, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and, thi, and, and, thi. thi. thi. thi. the, the, the, the, the, the this is one of the people who genuinely is one of the reasons that I'm sitting here today because Eddie was kind enough to present my show and my comedy in Edinburgh which I mean blew me up because people were like well if Eddie vouchers for you then I mean we'll let you in. Actually one of my funniest. Actually one of my funniest moments was taking a photo. We were taking a photo together. I don't know if you remember this, this was in Edinburgh. And we knew each other, but we weren't like close friends.

And Eddie's standing next to me in the picture, and we're standing there and everyone's taking pictures of us together. And then Eddie says, out of the corner of his mouth, he says, You better not kill someone or do some crazy shit, because now I'm tied to you forever. I don't actually remember saying that. What I do remember thinking is I want to encourage young people younger than myself to go on and be successful, not too successful.

And you're on the borderline of being too successful. This is rather annoying. No, but let's talk about, let's talk a little bit more about the Eddie Azzard going into politics because you have spoken about it for a long time. You know one of those people who just like saw Trump and was like, oh, that looks easy. No, you, you, you've said, for, as you said, almost a decade, as you said, the decade, I want to get into politics. Why politics? Why, why would why would why would why would why would why would why would th you w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. 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. thi. thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. toda. t. th. Brexit and what's going on. Well, anywhere in the world. I'm a radical moderate. I do radical things with a moderate message. I came as transgender 34 years ago.

I'm performing in four languages. I've run over 80 marathons for charity now. So that's what I bring to the table. I think most moderates have said to me negatively for being transgender, I don't think they can say anything in politics that's going to top that. So I'm already battle-hardened for that. I've campaigned in numerous different campaigns back in Britain.

And I think you need to have three things to do politics. You need to have a vision for the future. My vision is a farewell for 7.5 billion people. I think you need to be able to communicate. Hopefully my comedy gives me the ability to do that, analyze and communicate. And you need to be able to look at systems and work out what systems you should keep, what you should change and which ones you should completely throw away. Comedy isn't actually much good for politics except for the light relief saying, I think this, the other people they think that, and they're all silly buggers. And that's where you use your comedy for light relief, because it can get very dry in the world of politics.

I've noticed. Yes. And one thing I do enjoy about your story as well is, and this is something that I really, really appreciated this. Your story was really tough for many years, because here you were as a trans man who was living in this world where 30 years ago, it was dangerous. You got beaten up. You were ridiculed everywhere you went. And I will never forget noticing how powerful your story and your impact were,

until one day I was walking in London. It was in Piccadilly Circus and there was a transgender man who was walking and dressed up and you know And a group of guys saw him and then they were like they were like oh man look over there. Look at that asshole. And I turned and I saw it and then I saw it and then I was like, oh shit. It's gonna be like, oh tho' thii. th, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the the the the the they's they's 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 I's a their, and I's a their, and I's a their, and I's a their, and I's a their, and I's a their thiii's thi's true. thi's true, tho''n'n'n'ea'n'er's their their their their their their their their their the and the guy was like oh I oh he's like are you like Eddie is odd it's like yeah pretty cool man it's like it is do comedy and the guy's like no I don't he's like oh oh so real no for real and and then like like I've noticed there's like a but like in London it just became you had an impact on people that went beyond it I know it sounds strange, but it just became, because people are familiar with it, I find a lot of the time in society, we are afraid of a thing that we do not know.

And then when you become familiar with it, you start to see it as being more normal. Most Salah is a good example in the UK. Right, you have Muhammad Salah, this Muslim soccer they said, in Liverpool, Islamophobia was dropping. And little kids were like, oh, I want to be Muslim also. And it's just like, that's what it became. So, like, do you see that when you speak to people? Well, when I came out from South Africa,

I've got a film coming out at the end of the year. And my co-writer, about two things. I thought this was wonderful for me, just sitting at the back there, because the teacher could talk about racism, talk about Nelson and Dell to struggle against apartheid in South Africa, they could also talk about, because I was running with my nails painted and holding the South African flat, they could talk about being transgender.

And I thought that was beautiful they could talk about sexuality and they could talk about racism in the same thing and I do think marathons and wearing high heels for me has been a kind of interesting breakthrough because... Also very difficult on your feet. I know I tend to take the heels off when I run the marathon but people tend te te te te te te te te te te the the the the te the the the the the the th I the. the I the I the I the I the I the I the I the the the I they the the the the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they the I te te tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell their their their their their their their when I run the marital. But people tend to give me a bit of a more, well, all right, fair play, all right, if you're going to do that, because, you know, and it's it's the two things added together. I did want to be in special forces when I was a kid. This can sound kind of crazy, but I was planning this kind of marine, tri stuff. So I've tried to do this sort of civilian special forces. That's what I've, that's why I'm so military in the way I approach. In the way that you look at it.

The tour is rolling out to a large number of cities around the world. You're gonna be doing it in multiple languages. One thinn't that I that I I I I I I I I I I thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' is thin' is thin' is thin' is thin' is thin' is thin'a'er's thin'er's thiiii's why I'm tho-s thin'er's why I'm tho-s. tho-s. tho-s. tho-s. That's why I'm tho'er's why I'm thin'er's thin'er. thin'er. thin'er. That's is thin'er's is so so so so so so so so somea's why I's why I's why I's why I's why I's why I's why I's why I's why I'm somea'er. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thoo'er's why I'm somea'er's why I'm somea'er's why I'm somea'er's why I'm tthau. thooo'er's why I'm sothe future. It's about space and it's about, it's like one of the most complicated shows, like the topics that your thing is not like elevators, your thing is like the space time continuum. But also very silly, very silly as well. But why do you do that? Why not have the politics and why? Politics dates it. If you're doing positive, get out, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get, get to, get to, get to, get to to to, get to to to to, get to, get to, get to, get to the the to, to, to, to, tho, tho, tho, 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 their, they..... their, they. thi., thi., thi.ooosan, thi.ooooosan, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. when you do your videos. This is... This is... I'm sorry, I gave you good advice before.

You... take the politics and make it... go macro on the politics. So if it's something about Trump now, then go macro on people who have been like him throughout the history. Go that way, because then it'll be timeless when they look at it in 10 years they go, oh this is still all relevant as opposed to oh yeah that guy did that. Oh Trump's still going to be around in 10 years. That's uh... But my, no you've got a rule in America. Oh no no no no not as president but he's still going to be around. Well it's that was my thing. Monty Python, it can be timeless. Yes. And also I'm too lazy to do political. I want to do, I want to do comedy about politics when

I'm in politics. That's essentially what I'm going to be doing, what I'm going to say, I believe this, the other team, they're all idiots. Thank you so much for being on the show.
