You're listening to Comedy Central. From New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that invented news. This is the Daily Show with your host, Leslie Jones. What's going on everybody? What's going on? Everybody. Welcome to the Daney Show on Lettie Jones? Woo! What's going on everybody? Welcome to the Daney Show. I'm Leslie Jones. We got so much stuff to talk about tonight, but first I would like to give a shout out to Trevor Noah. One of the things that moved me so much in his last show, he said, if you want to truly learn about America, talk to black women.

Well, guess who's coming at dinner, baby? We've got a great show for you. Morris Chestnut is here. Yeah! All right. So let's get into headlines. Yeah, okay. You guys remember that for the past six months, we've been roasting the shit out of Donald Trump for keeping classified documents at his house? And I have to agree, what kind of moron, I mean, what kind of irresponsible piece of shit would keep classified documents at his house? I mean, he's got to be the only dumbass that would do something so stupid. Breaking news from the White House, more classified documents were found in President Biden's Delaware home.

This morning, President Biden is facing growing calls for transparency from Republicans and even some Democrats. Just wrote a damn tape. This morning, President Biden is facing growing calls for transparency from Republicans and even some Democrats, amid the special counsel's investigation into his handling of classified documents after he left the Obama administration. Pressure is mounting. After this weekend, the White House Counsel's office said additional pages of classified documents were discovered inside the President's Delaware home.

It comes after about a dozen initially discovered at Mr. Biden's private office, including at least one document marked Top Secret. That that followed by two batches discovered in Delaware, including inside his garage. Classified material next to your Corvette, what? My Corvette's in the lock garage, okay? So it's not like you're sitting on the street. What? This is a national security emergency, okay? A man this old with access to a corvette? Ah, I don't know what's more scary, Biden losing the nuclear codes or Biden going 85 on the highway?

Ah, I don't know. What's more scary? Biden losing the nuclear codes or Biden going 85 on the highway. Biden, please do not drive that corvette. Your ass can't even ride a bike. Let me to tell you something. He probably loves talking about this scandal because it gives him a chance to talk about his Corvette. Hey everybody, I've got stolen documents next to my sweet Corvette.

Go, Greece, Lightning, you're burning up the pool. Greed Lightning, go, Greed Lightning, go, Green Lightning. Oh, green lightning, grow green lightning. And look, I know this is a big scandal, but honestly I think these documents was pretty safe at Biden's house because it's hard to find anything in an old man's garage. Grandpa, where's the document? It's by the leaf blower. You have six leaf blurs, Grandpa! But can I just say this for a minute? I am so disappointed in you, Joe Biden.

But can I just say this for a minute? I am so disappointed in you, Joe Biden. Because this is the Trump scandal you copy, stealing documents? You could have been black balls deep in porn stars, your dumb f- ****. But there's a bigger problem here. But first it was Trump, now it's Biden.

What I need to know is who is in charge of these documents? Who is the bitch who is freely given out classified documents? Who the fuck is this person? What's up, y'all? How you doing, man? You want to get some documents? Check this out, though. I just came back from lunch, and I smoked the biggest bliss. I have ever rolled, so I'm real high right now.

So it's your lucky day. I'm gonna hook you up with all the documents you need right now. You know what, just take what you want. But wait, wait, I'm gonna need to get you to sign. Hold on, let me get something for you to sign. You know what, I'll remember you. I trust you. I trust you.

But you gotta be cool with these documents the documents the documents the documents the documents the documents the documents the documents the documents the documents thu. I trust. But you've got to be cool, son. You got to be cool with these documents, OK? Where are you going to hi them at? Where you in the Corvette? You got a Corvette? Take whatever you need, going on in Boston. Okay, but let's move on. Let me show you what's going on in Boston.

Okay, so a monument meant to honor the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his white Coretta Scott King's legacy. Placing some backlash, it's called the Embrace of the Boston Common. It was inspired by a photograph of the couple hugging after Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize back in 1964. So look at the hands in the picture and then look at that. The R. P. features a couple's arms during the embrace and not their heads, which has sparked a mixed reaction. Has anyone in here ever been been toing out? I'm serious, I'm serious. Has anyone in here ever participated in the munch and munch,

munch, munch. Because they're celebrating you right now. They are celebrating you in Boston right now. Lord. Listen, listen, I know Dr. King went down in history, but this is not how you showed. And let me tell you something, even though I'm about to go straight hard on this statue, I got to talk to be saying shit about this statue. You understand? Black hands only. You need to sit your ass in the back of the bus for this one, okay?

You need to honor this statue. This is our civil rights icon. Going down on his wife. You show some damn respect. Okay, black people, what the fuck we're gonna do? We gotta talk about this, we gotta talk about this, because you know it's messed up where black people and the proud boys hate the same statute. But I don't know, I don't know, you know, I mean, I guess, you know, maybe we'll end up liking it, you know what I'm saying? We might end up liking it. Did you know that people hated the Eiffel Tower when it first went up? You know, the French people was like, ugh, it ruins the same name,

whooom, my mo mo mo mo, mo, mo mo. That is the worst impression of a French person ever done in the history. What about Christ the Redeemer? I bet you when they first put it up, everybody was like, Jesus is going, what's up, why y'all kill me? But now everybody loves it. But now everybody love it.

So maybe it's just a matter of time. Maybe it's just a matter of time. In time we will see the statue for what it truly is. Martin Luther King going down on his wife. I can't see it. I can't let's see it. It is what it is. You know what?

I can't talk about this by myself. I need another black woman on my side. Y'all give it up for Ducey! Two sides to that everyone! I mean, it's... I mean, girl, girl? I mean, it's... I mean, what you think about this statute? Listen, now I know that you thought it looked like... He's going down, he's going down on Carretta.

From the angle that you saw. From the angle that I saw, it looks like, it looks like hands, cradle and a big penis. You know, like a bronze dildo that got left out of the sun. Right? Because no matter which way you look at it, it's a different erotic act, right? It's like a sexual rubix cube. Absolutely. Like every time you spit it, like you just got to take the stickers off and move them around.

Because you've never solved one. None of us have solved one. Ever. Ever. They never get Martin statue right. Ever. You saw that Miami and they put him in D.C. Look at the statue. I mean, what the hell is this?

The man literally marched for freedom. And his statue don't have no legs! You know why people like the Mona Lisa? Because I can see the bitch. And she's giving fierce. She's giving unbothered. She's giving legacy. Am I pretty? Who cares? I'm famous. That's the Mona Lisa. Now say what you will about them goofy-ass conservatives but they know how to make a statue.

It's a white dude on a horse. It's always a white dude on a horse. There's no confusion. That's over your fusion. So listen, that's what the liberals need to do. Make a statue of MLK in his suit on the horse. Yeah. But, but did MLK have a horse? I don't know. And neither do y'all. So put them on a horse, put them on the throne.

Hell, put him in Joe Biden's Corvette, all right? At least we would know who it was. Because you know what, Miss Leslie? Yes, baby. I also have a dream. Hmm. I have a dream of an MLK statue with an MLK statue with feet with a torso and legs and arms. I have a tree. to be a torso and legs and arms in the right place.

Amen. A statue that doesn't look like a sex act because right now it looks like a penis. Hallelujah and if you want there to be a penis then five you can give him a penis. You can give him a penis. The great Martin Luther King had a penis, something they say. But don't make that great man the penis. Give him a good Christian penis. And put it where a penis is supposed to go. Because I know a couple places. Where a penis is supposed to go lesbian. And I'm telling you, I enjoy it every time. I don't know how you're thinking about this whack, black, black, black, black, black, black. Okay, okay, you're right.

You're right. You're right. You're right. Bring it back to MLK. Okay. You know, I got to MLK. You know, I gotta be careful, I gotta dress on this new furniture. I just gotta... Okay, it's, come on. Woo-wee! Y'all give it up for Ducey! When we come back, I'll find out what you did on MLK Day, yesterday and everybody celebrates it in their own way.

And a lot of those ways are wrong. So I went around New York yesterday to find out how people were celebrating, so so check it out. Since the Daily Show finally hired a black host, we can properly celebrate Martin Luther King Day by asking New Yorkers how they celebrate his legacy. Shut up! Don't interrupt me on Martin Luther King Day. That ain't cool. So, let's do this. Do you'all know what today is?

We're lost. We're lost day? Do you know what day it is today? This is Monday. What you do today? Well, today we just woke up. We just checked out of our hotel. We haven't done much.

We're going to go get coffee and we're going, none of what we've talked about so far. You starting to push us for Martin. So this ain't reparations, but this is enough. That's right. Give me one hand once. Yeah, that's right. What's y'all doing to celebrate? M.M.K.

Came to New York? That's all y're gonna do? Saw some shows, ate some food, did some shopping. All right, I'm gonna come back to y'all on Juneteeth. And y'all better have done better. Don't you like when he like, you know, refused to move to the back of the bus? Mm-hmm. I can remember it snippets through the world news. He didn't refuse. That was Rosa Parks. What is it? Name of famous MLK quote. I have a dream.

I have a dream. I have a dream. And what does he say after that? I'm not sure. Name a famous MLK quote. Besides I have a dream. Besides I have a dream. Um.

I will pay you $1 million. If you can tell me something else that Martin Luther King said. He told his children he loved them. Yes. A million dollars. So, maybe you do not know what he said to his children. Can we Google it? No! What what the f-

I have a dream that one day, that's all I got. I have a dream that one day white people will actually know what's in that damn speech. Okay, just name five black people. Eddie Murphy. That's the only black person you know Eddie Murphy. Byron Leftwich. Who the fuck is a NFLckwitch? Byr and left witch is an NFL as an offensive black coat. Don't nobody know him.

You're just making up names now. So how you celebrate Martin Luther King? Um, not too sure. So that's what he died for man? This would be out here, just not doing nothing on this date? No, I'm just kidding. You can do whatever you want, man. You black. We're gonna go see the Lion King. Okay.

There's got King and the tire. Fine. I mean, that's as close as you can get, I'll take it. The freedom and liberty to go about and do what we want to do. That's our celebration. See, that's a quote from from from that's a that's a that's a that's a that right there. That's right, she earned that. She earned that. To do what we want to do. That's right. It's your birthday.

Never talk smack with a comedian. I did a, I'm a long time ago, I did a movie with Bill Bellamy and Dio, Huley, and I just, and when I did that movie, I realized, I realize to never, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, to never, to never, I realize, to never, to never, to never, I realize, to never, to never, I realize, to never, I realize, to never, to never, I realize, I realize, to never, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I, never, I, never, I, never, never, never, I, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, I to never, never, I to never, I to never, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, I realize, to never, to never, to never, to never, to never, I realize, to never, to never, I realize, I realize, to never, are so perceptive and you guys see everything, you hear everything. So I will not talk smack to you. Oh, that's okay. Not at all. It's okay, Morris, you can talk smack this. Now, the one thing that I appreciate about the franchise is how they have black men being friends and being real. How do you think, important it is do you think the portrayal of friendships and

relationships between black men is is portrayed on TV? I think I think it was very important for it for our movie. Just for the. Because listen there's this life that happens there's drama that happens and you're friends with somebody long. there's bound to be some type of disagreements and arguments and all that type of that type.. 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 thi thi. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the they. the the the. the the the the. the there's bound to be some type of disagreements and arguments and all that type of that type of situation however with our film it shows that we can overcome that is like no matter What your differences are no matter what type of? Argument or disagreements you get into as a brother who? You can still come together that? So I think that's one of the things that's helped this series prevail throughout the years. Yeah, you know, I think, yes, definitely.

One of my favorite scenes is when he's going through the divorce and you guys came over and just started sitting at the table like, we're about to play cards, food, come out of doubt. Yes. That just made my heart, but I'm gonna tell you my favorite part. Okay, the way you dealt with your son. Oh, yes It was it was so good every everything because every time you were pray I would be like you have the wrong prayers Brough, you got the wrong prayer.

Thank you, thank you. Boy, I hope you get all the awards! Seriously, it's so good.

That storyline was tough for me because it was so new, the pronouns and there's something that really hasn't been explored too much. Especially in the black community. And I was like, I was on the fence because I was like, they don't really know why my character feels the way that he feels. I mean, people can come to their own conclusion. So it was this tough storyline for me. Eric was a great actor that played my son. And the way that it was written was so beautiful.

So thank you for it. It was absolutely beautiful. And I have thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me and you kill it.
