Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. 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
Starting point is 00:00:31 you get your podcast. August 9th, 2018. 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 shooting and I'm Trevor Mour. Our guest tonight, March for Our Lives Activist, Matt Ditch and Emma Gonzalez, are joining us everybody. We'll be talking to them about their Road for Change Tour. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines. Wush. I'm not a big fan of most of President Trump's policies, but there is one idea that gets me really excited. Space Force. And today, Vice President Mike Pence came out to join in on the fun.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Now the time has come to write the next great chapter in the history of our armed forces. To prepare for the next battlefield, where America's best and bravest will be called to deter 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 their and defeat and defeat and their and their and their and to their and to to to to to their and their and their 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 toe of our armed forces. To prepare for the next battlefield, where America's best and bravest will be called to deter and defeat a new generation of threats to our people, this dude is boring. When Trump talks about Space Force, he makes it sound like we're going to be on a rocket riding to the moon like, Space Force, like, Space Force! Right in the damn, a killing aliens, abandon the man, but no. Mike Pence makes it sound like actual space.
Starting point is 00:02:28 It's just like, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-bo-pooh. This is Captain Mike Pence, nothing to report. Yeah, Trump's like, we're gonna go up there,there and we're going to have sex with those aliens. And Pence is like, there will be no sex with aliens, not until after marriage. Anyway, moving on to another frontier. The gender pay gap. It's a problem all over the world, and it turns out, the problem starts earlier than you think.
Starting point is 00:03:04 The New York Times reports on a study that shows daughters do more chores than sons and that could contribute to gender inequality in pay. Girls do about 45 minutes of housework a day. Boys do about half an hour. Girls are more likely to be paid for cleaning. Boys are more likely to be paid for personal hygiene like brushing their teeth taking a shower. Now, now, now, now, now look, now, wait, wait, don't boo, vote. I know this doesn't sound fair, but if you've ever smelled a 15-year-old boy, you know that the showering money is totally worth it, okay?
Starting point is 00:03:43 Not that I smell 15- 50 year old boys, I've just heard things. I've heard things. But this story just makes me sad, right? Because this means Steve Bannon never got an allowance. And finally, finally, we've seen a lot of white women go viral this year. But now, one of them has gone viral for something good. One woman from Rhode Island is a huge fan of Missy Elliott, and she even posted a video covering the rapper's song Work It. This video is so popular.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Missy Elliott retweeted it herself. This is my second time exclusive here at Guttard Park. Is it perfect? Let me work it. I put my thing now, flip it and reverse it. He's yurping him if his one yipper. If that woman doesn't have a record deal by the end of the week, these people are not focused. My only question is, my only question is, what event was that woman doesn't have a record deal by the end of the week, these people are not focused. My only question is, my only question is, what event was that? Like, was it like a kid's birthday party?
Starting point is 00:04:53 And she's just doing raunchy-ass rap songs. Happy ninth birthday, Dale, my neck, my back, my... All right, let's move on to our top story. It is, it is August, people, when stores start putting up Halloween decorations and Ben Carson starts prepping for hibernation. The key is to always be ready. More importantly, August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. For women who can't do it, breastfeeding is one of the best ways to nurture an infant. And it's shocking that in 2018, we're still seeing stories like this. A mother breastfeeding her baby inside an Alabama restaurant says the manager told
Starting point is 00:05:38 her to cover up. An outraged mother says she was breastfeeding her baby when a via bus driver told her to cover up. Sarah Olson said this was how she was sitting and breastfeeding while having dinner at a subway restaurant inside this Walmart super center. That's when she said a manager at subway asked her to cover up or breastfeed at the back of the store. He stated that, well, if it's my legal right, then he can just whip out his penis and pee everywhere.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Okay, I'm confused by this guy's reasoning. How is breastfeeding the female equivalent of peeing? Because peeing is the female equivalent of peeing. That guy knows that women also pee, right? To me, it just sounds like that dude just wants an excuse to take his dick out. That's all it sounds like. He uses it for everything. He's like, that car turned right on red. If he can do that, I'm gonna whip my penis out.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I'm gonna, like, I can't do that. I can't do that. I can't, I can't, like, like, like, I, like, I, like, I, like, I, I, I, I, like, 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 can't, I can't, I can't, I, I can't, I, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, 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 can't, I, I, I, I, I can't, I, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I, I, I can't, I, I, I, I, th. th. Can't, like, th. Can't, that, th. that, like, that, like, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, can we address that there is a subway restaurant inside a Walmart? Like if you ask me, that's the unnatural way to feed someone. That needs to be covered up. And now, breastfeeding, remember this, breastfeeding in public is legally protected in all 50 states. But clearly, yeah, as it should be. But clearly, not everyone knows the law because some people are even calling the po-po on the tartars. Major controversy in central Minnesota when the police are called on two moms breastfeeding at a public pool. Stephanie Buchanan and Mary Davis say they were breastfeeding their babies in the kitty pool when complaints turned into a sour scuffle. A patron at the pool came up to me and told me that
Starting point is 00:07:30 I need to cover because her sons were swimming. The city saying a teen staffer at the public pool then politely asked the moms to be more discreet or relocate to another area. When they did not it created an untenableable situation. The employee eventually calling 911. Apparently there's a mother of breastfeeding in the shallow end and now being very discreet about it. I like how the person is complaining that she's doing it in the shallow end. Like, that's important.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Oh no, not in the shallow end. That is the sacred place of the pool. You can see the bottom there. And look, obviously, I feel bad for those moms, but I also feel bad for the lifeguard who had to deal with this. Like, he's a teenage boy. Telling a woman to put her breast away goes against everything he stands for. His brain probably melted down. He was like, ma robot that couldn't handle a logic problem.
Starting point is 00:08:26 He's like, ma'am, could you please put our way your, um, could you put, what am I saying? Who am I? Obviously, look, America needs to be educated on this issue. And thankfully, the daily shows Desiletic and Dosey Sloan have stepped up to the challenge with this helpful public service announcement. Hello America, it's me Desilightic, mother of one and breastfeater of three. And I'm Dossette Sloan, and I have titties too. It's come to my attention that the natural and beautiful act of breastfeeding is making some of you uncomfortable, to the point of snitching. Since you're so desperate to cover up mothers and their cute little babies, let's cover up the things that make everyone else uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:09:07 You want women to cover up their baby eating lunch? Well, guess what? I want to cover up this dude housing buffalo wings. Wing, stop! This couple sitting on the same side of the booth. We get it, you're happy. Ah, the public pool. Too sacred a place for the nourishment of baby of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of their their their their the public pool. Too sacred a place for the nourishment of baby, so it's only fitting that we also cover up old dudes in banana hammocks. And creeps who offer sunscreen rubdowns. We know there's no SPF-69.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And let's not forget public transportation. If the worst thing you've seen on a subway is a woman breastfeeding, congratulations. That means you've never been on a car with a woman clipping her toenails. Hey, hey, put the hobbite ass foot in the bag. Couples making out on the train. I said we get it. See, there are a lot of disgusting things out there, so I'm sorry if you're grossed out by breastfeeding, but how about you make like a hungry baby and suck it up? Thank you, babies.
Starting point is 00:10:07 We'll be right back. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show. It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, TGID. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. This week marked a milestone in civil rights history. The 50th anniversary of Franklin's first appearance in the comic
Starting point is 00:11:27 strip Peanuts. Now, it seems like a joke, but the reason this was a landmark is that before Franklin appeared, newspaper comic strips were segregated. Black comic strips were separate from white comic strips. In fact, if you even tried to put the pages of the newspaper together, the police would just break down your door. You'd be like, whoa! And they'd be like, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, we'll always, well, well, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, well, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, the the the the comic strips, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the comic st. the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, their, the, the, the, their, their, their th. th.com.com.come, the.come, the.come.come, the.come, the. the. the. the, the, the, the, the even try to put the pages of the newspaper together, the police would just break down your door. You'd be like, whoa, and they'd be like, well, well, well, we've got a troublemaker over here. So the character of Franklin was a pretty big deal, and what's really fascinating is his origin story. April 1968, Martin Luther King had been shot and killed American cities burned in rage. In California, a 42-year-old teacher and mother of three felt helpless. And I remember sitting in suburbia saying, is there anything I can do? Harriet Glickman wanted to reach someone with influence.
Starting point is 00:12:19 She wrote to Charles Schultz, his Peanuts comic strip, was read by nearly a hundred million people each week. Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, they were all white. Glickman told Schultz he should integrate. Okay, that was pretty dope of that lady, but, yeah, but, but, but at the same time, also kind of a weird reaction to a tragedy. I mean, Martin Luther King is dead, the chaos in the same time, also kind of a weird reaction to a tragedy. I mean, Martin Luther King is dead, there's chaos in the streets, and her first reaction is, maybe Charlie Brown can help. Like, I wonder if there's some nice suburban lady today going, did you know they're putting kids in cages?
Starting point is 00:13:00 We gotta get Garfield on the case. Where is he? Where is he? And the creator of Peanuts, Charles Schultz, he made sure that Franklin's arrival was a statement. His first appearance in the comic strip was at a beach swimming with white kids. And that may seem trivial now, but don't forget, for many people in 1968, blacks and whites swimming together was not a normal thing. And this image was seen by a hundred million people.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Because peanuts in the 60s had the same kind of cultural dominance as friends in the 90s, which unlike peanuts, never managed to add a full-time black friend. For more of the Civil Rights Trailblazer, we turn out to our very own, Roywood Junior everybody! Boy, no matter who you are, you've got to love Franklin, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, 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, you gotta love Franklin, right? Oh man, love him, are you kidding man? Franklin was a straight-up G, integrated to shit out of peanuts. Yeah, and it must have been a pretty big moment for you as a kid when he first appeared in the strip.
Starting point is 00:14:01 First appeared. That was in 1968. How old do you think I am? Fifty? Forty? Sixty? I'm thirty nine, Trevor. Thirty nine. Here's the thing. Newspaper Franklin was great. Newspaper Franklin was great. You can't argue that. But when they put them on TV, it was a different story. All of a sudden, they made them a stereotype. You do the hokey-poke and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about. It's all about on coffee stuff and we' taken in your shoes. We're the teeth invincible and we're not going to lose. Why couldn't Franklin just do the hokey-poke each other?
Starting point is 00:14:48 You're telling me, black kids can't put their left foot in and take their left foot out? It looked like Franklin was auditioning for house party too. Yeah, but Roy, it's still cool to have him in there, even if he had one dance break. It was every time with this kid. Anytime you walk down the street in Peanutsville, you might run into Franklin when his home boy pop walking. And even when he's hanging out with his friends, everyone else gets a normal handshake with no, not Franklin. He got a slap skin. See what I mean? All the other peanuts are just kids, but Franklin's running around Peanupville like a damn baby shaft. He's
Starting point is 00:15:37 a tiny, bad mother's... Shut your mouth. I'm telling him about Franklin. Look, I just don't want him to be the other kid all the time. Even at Thanksgiving, yeah, they invited him, but look where they didn't put him. He's by himself. Even the dog gets to sit with the kids. Why's the dog even at the damn table? It's cool though, Franklin. Look, ma'am, Franklin, they did you a favor. You don't want want want want want want want th no th no th no then, then, then, tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that that that that that tho tho that that that that that tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, man, Franklin, they did you a favor. You don't want none of that bland ass white people torture anyone. They ain't putting no sprinkles on it. You know they don't season the food, right?
Starting point is 00:16:11 Did y'all have Thanksgiving in Africa? Yeah, Roy, anyway, like I hear what you're saying, but I liked having Franklin on the screen. I think it's important for kids to be able to see a version version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see a version to see to see to to to the the to to to be, to be, to be, to be, to to to to be able to see a version of themselves. Okay, cool. So if that's the case, the cartoon should honor the original revolutionary spirit of Franklin. If you're gonna make them rap, do it right. This is America. Don't get you sleeping on. Don't get you sleeping up. This is America.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Right with Junior everyone, we'll be right back. Welcome back. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guests tonight are helping lead a movement to end gun violence following a mass shooting at their high school in Parkland, Florida. Please welcome March for Our Lives Activists, Emma Gonzales and Matt Dic. Welcome to the show. So good to have you here. Is that the first thing you're going to do?
Starting point is 00:17:11 Go straight to my water? You're just going to check if it's water? No, it's the mug. What if we're just like a fake mug? And now you would have exposed the fact that I donto have you here. Is that the first thing you're going to do? Go straight to my water? You're just going to check if it's what? No, it's the mug. What if it's just like a fake mug and now you would have exposed the fact that I don't have any real things in my cups? Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for being here. You know what's been fascinating for me in watching your journey is that many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many. Many many. Many many. Many many. Many many many many many. Many many many many many many. Many. Many. Many people. th. th. th. 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 th. Many th. Many th. Many th. Many th. Many th. Many th. Many th. Many th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. thi. the. the the the the the to the to to to to the to to to the to the the the say something, some people do something, but you continue to work at it to make change. What do you think keeps driving you?
Starting point is 00:17:52 I definitely know that in the very beginning of all this, we met with a bunch of kids from Chicago, who the Peace Warriors mainly, who we are still friends with today. And they told us about the six principles of non-violence Martin Luther Kings and principle number five is no principle number four is except suffering without retaliation for the sake of the cause to achieve the goal which means basically it doesn't matter what you face as an individual the goal is much more important than anybody which is kind of the main principle that you know we went to see the sit-in counters in North Carolina and that was the methods the methods the methods the methods the methods the methods the methods the methods the methods the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. the the the the they. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the sit-in counters in North Carolina and that was the methods that were used then.
Starting point is 00:18:25 It doesn't matter if somebody hits me, doesn't matter if somebody pour something over my head try to get me off of the seat, I need to sit here because this is for everybody. You have been attacked in multiple ways online. I mean, everyone has accused you of everything from being political puppets all the way through the crisis actors. People have said that your emotion is fake. to. to. to. to. to, to, to, the to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, I, they.. And, they. And, they. And, t t t try, t try, t t try, t try, try, t try, try, they, they, they, the the they.through to crisis actors. People have said that your emotion is fake. You've fought through that, and now you have a movement that has taken you on the road. What is this organization all about? It's all about saving lives, Trevor.
Starting point is 00:18:55 It's all about creating coalitions throughout different communities around this country so that we can come together and create a united front for change. This is way more than just Parkland. This is about the communities around this country that suffer from day-to-day gun violence and gun violence in many different forms. So every single day on this tour, we've traveled 70-something stops now, and every single place we go, we hear a new story of someone lost in a different form of gun violence, and so it's about fighting for all of them....... And the main thing you're trying to do is get young people to register to vote. And actually show up for the vote.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And actually show up. Like that's an important part. Why is that the key to what you're doing? Because I mean people say like, we want you saying, register to vote, you can say, oh, sure. But nobody's going to go up to you the day of the polls and say, get out there and vote, you know, like there's, we're going to try to do offers of ride sharing and stuff like that. Or, you know, we encourage people to say,
Starting point is 00:19:52 like, you know, try say my vote doesn't count that's a million votes that could have either swung a district or made an impact you know in the ohio special election it was under two thousand votes that like was the difference between the two people right like your vote really really does count what if it had been one vote that person's one vote would have made the difference we saw a story where in one election it was had to be decided by basically a coin flip and it's starting to show you that elections are getting closer and closer, people's votes are counting more than they ever thought before. Young people in particular haven't been good at turning up
Starting point is 00:20:34 when it comes to the midterms. In this election it feels different. We're seeing research that says more and more people who are young are inclined to vote. do you feel like th th th th th feel like th feel like th feel like th feel like th feel like th feel like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like the the the the the thi the the the. the the tho to to to the the the 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 th. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. thean. te. te. te. te. toe. toe. toe. toe. toean. to to the. people who are young are inclined to vote. Do you feel like gun violence and mass shootings are a big driving factor in this? Well, young people are more educated now than they have ever been before. And young people turn out at a rate about one in five. If young people turn out in a rate of two out of five, they can swing any election that they turn out in. And so that's what it's really about is about showing that young people, if you can just convince one person in your proximity to vote that wasn't planning on voting, you can swing this election and actually obtain morally just leaders. Because right now,
Starting point is 00:21:12 Congress does not reflect the once and needs of the American people. Who? W. W. When it comes to gun issues, one thing I've noticed repeatedly is how you will be asked questions that many people in Congress don't get asked, aren't even expected to know the answers too. You have had to, I think, immerse yourself in policy more than many politicians have in
Starting point is 00:21:40 a strange way. But what are you hoping will be achieved by people voting? What are you hoping some of the changes will be when it comes to gun reform in America? Well, when something like universal background checks is supported by over 95% of the American public and the Speaker of the House refuses to introduce a bill to be voted on, that is what we want to see change. We want these policies that are being supported with a super majority in this country like universal background checks, toee, toe, toe, toe, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thean, theananananan, theananan, theanan, theanan, theananan, thean. theananananan. theananan, thean, with a super majority in this country like universal background checks, digitizing the ATF, disarming domestic abusers, violence prevention programs, and the rest of our policies are on our website, March for our lives. How we save lives, but it's mostly just about getting
Starting point is 00:22:17 these policies that have nothing to do with the Second Amendment and just have a basis in saving lives that are supported by the general public these all poll above sixty five percent with the general public yet congress decides to do absolutely nothing and you've been you've been hosting town halls you've been meeting with people you've you've hosted more town halls and i think some people in congress may have actually a hundred and fifty congressmen have not had a town hall the last two years wow have not had a town hall in the last two years. Wow. So, you're out there.
Starting point is 00:22:45 You're meeting with people who don't always agree with you. What do you find other things they agree with you on? And is there something that you find in some way shifts a person's perspective? Or is there some way that they've shifted your perspective when you engage with people you don't agree with? Usually when people come up to us and say, I I I I I I I I th you th you th you th you th you th th th th th th th th th like I th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like that they've shifted your perspective when you engage with people you don't agree with? Usually when people come up to us and say I don't like what you stand for they think that we are trying to take guns out of America or that we are against the Second Amendment. That's not true. We are a pro-Second Amendment organization. We want
Starting point is 00:23:18 safety around guns. People who are law-abiding citizens and are worried about getting their guns taken away, if you're a law-abiding citizen, you have nothing to worry about. We're talking about the people who are not law-abiding citizens. If you're that conscious about it, you should understand, you obviously do understand that guns are something that need to be held with respect and responsibility. With great power it comes to great responsibility. to their responsibility. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, if the people, if their, if th, if th, if th, if th, if th, if th, if th, if th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi... thi. thi. thi. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha, tha, tha, tha, in their hearts and in their minds and there are a lot of people who don't and we're just trying to catch everybody up to that thought process. And when people say to you, oh you kids are out there, you're trying to take the guns away, some people will say to you like, oh, do you're try to change what you're saying? Or do you find sometimes you have to say, we agree to disagree? We just bring them into the reality
Starting point is 00:24:06 of what's going on in this country. A lot of them choose to ignore what's actually going on and communities even really near theirs. We'll be in Wisconsin, and they will understand the day-to-day gun violence that happens in Milwaukee when they're in Jane-in....... come together community by community and actually stand for each and every life that we're losing every day. And so when, I didn't have to say the book, so a lot of these people don't actually understand
Starting point is 00:24:35 what's happening day to day. A toddler picks up a gun and shoots themselves or someone once a week for the last three years in this country. And with something like safe storage laws or mandatory trigger locks, or even like a bike lock on a gun trigger, could save countless lives in this country. And that is just common sense. Right. Makes perfect sense for someone to say, oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:24:55 I should report if my gun is stolen. But in Texas, where more guns are stolen than anywhere else in the country, that's not a law. You don't have that do that. But if you steal alcohol from a parent, it could be a felony. It's child endangerment. But we call it an accidental shooting. There are no accidental shootings. It's negligence.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Let's talk about it before you left the house. You're wearing the same thing. Let's talking, you're wearing. Clearly you didn't talk about it before you left the house, you're wearing the same thing. You're not just talking you're doing, you're not just doing, you're helping others do. Getting people out to vote always seems tedious. Your shirts have a purpose. Tell me about them. The QR code, if you scan it with your camera, very simple, don't even need an app it will get you registered to vote in under two minutes. So if we, can we zoom in on that like now? So if you're watching this at home, yeah, if you're watching this at home right now and
Starting point is 00:25:50 you zoom in, like you can take a picture of this right now on your phone and you can join this movement, you can register to vote, you can get out there, you can have your voice heard. You don't even have to agree with us in policy. You can just get registered, vote, to, to, to like that so it's like gonna be like over a hundred dates how do you go back to your normal lies like like you guys know you have the right to be kids as well right like what what like what do you go back to after this there there's no normality in this country right now and so having to understand that we need to continue building these coalitions with people and continue educating people what's going on day to day because not a day is past on a tour where we haven't heard a new name and new story. We haven't seen a day go by where a new news story of someone else shot and killed, another
Starting point is 00:26:34 young person shot and killed in this country happens. This doesn't happen anywhere else except America. And it is up to us as Americans to actually stand up and fight for each other. And so so the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. And so their. And so their. And so their is their, to to to to to be to be to be to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, toe, toe, 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, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, their, tome, tome, tome, tomorrow, tomorrow, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, to actually stand up and fight for each other. And so there is no normality until we can continue to come together and actually change this. So I know you want us to be kids, but we have more important things to do. Thank you. So, to watch all lives. Thank you so much for being on the show.
