Obviously it's less to pass the house and everything.

Yeah, but they were like, no, this is terrible. This clock's moving backwards, forwards, backwards, forwards. We just want to stay on daylight savings. Or as the rest of the world calls it, time. Think about how nobody agrees on anything in this country and the Senate guys everyone Elizabeth Warren Mitch McConnell all of them were like yeah we all agree on this thing that is what because I love looking for moments in life where you can find the common humanity to know that I hate the clock switching to know that Mitch McConnell also shares that hate with me as a human being. Do you know how beautiful that is? Knowing that there's some warnings

I wake up and I'm like, I look at the clock and I'm like, ah! And wherever he is, he's like, mr-ah-r. That guys, it gives me hope.

It's the Daily Show, ears edition. Tonight, Dolly can't win. We need to talk about Kimyeye and Deepak. DePaupra. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on everybody?

Welcome to the Daily Show. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. We begin with the latest developments in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This morning, the Prime Ministers of three European countries, Poland, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic, took the extraordinary step of meeting with Ukrainian leaders in Kiev as a sign of Europe's quote unequivocal support.

Which guys, you got to admit that's really admirable. I mean, these people are having an in-person meeting in an active war zone. Meanwhile, some of us are too scared to go back to the office. Yeah, I mean, we say it's about COVID, but it's really about Dave at the water cooler. And with the outside world stepping up its pressure on Russia, Russia is now fighting back. Yeah, in a classic move of, I know you are, but what am I? Russia has just announced that it is slapping sanctions on high-profile American targets, including President Biden, Whitehouse, House Press Secretary Jen Saki, Hillary Clinton, and Hunter Biden. Yes, Russia says that they will no longer be able to travel to Russia, and any assets that they have in Russia have been frozen.

Which, I mean, sounds ridiculous, right? I doubt any of those people have any assets in Russia, especially Joe Biden, right? He just keeps all of his money hidden behind his nephew's ear. What? Now, of course, Russia is carrying out a way more serious crackdown on its own citizens, with laws in place against protesting the war in any way. And some Russians have been trying to find a loophole. Rah, turning out in public to not protest anything. That's what they've been doing. Which is actually a pretty clever idea, but it turns out the Russian government is not laughing Meanwhile in Russia protesters continue to be arrested According to this video by activists this woman holds up a sign that simply reads two words before police take her away

Over 14,000 people have been arrested for protesting the war in Ukraine Russian police have even detained people for carrying blank signs. Damn, that is next-level censorship right there. Imagine that. Even people holding up blank signs, nothing on it, are getting arrested in Russia. I mean, think about it. If you see a blank sign and you automatically assume people are criticizing you, that's your insecurity showing. Yeah, that's your insecurity showing.

Yeah, they clearly think they have something to be ashamed of. Because let me tell you something. If I saw a blank sign, someone just standing outside the daily show, holding a blank sign, yeah, I'll just be like, why yes, I have lost weight, thank you. Oh, you don't see it? I see it. So, according to reports, the Russian, Russian government has now arrested over 14,000 protesters, which may not seem like a huge number, but remember this, for Russia, we're getting arrested at a protest might mean your

life is over. 14,000 is a lot. I mean, to put that in terms, Putin would appreciate, 14,000 is like two tables, worth of people. Moving on to economic news. As you know, the entire world is facing massive supply chain issues. And with companies unable to solve this problem, some are finding a way to work around it. Ford Motor Company is taking some drastic steps as they deal with a computer chip shortage. They'll now ship some explorers

without computer chips for the rear air conditioning and heat controls. The missing semiconductors will be sent to dealers to install within a year. It's a way for Ford to get explorers to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to to to to to to the the to their to their to their their their to to to th th, thus to solve to solve to thoers to solve to solve thi, thi, to to solve to to to to to to to th. to th. th. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. the. the. the. thea. toean. toean. toean. toean. toea. toea. toea. toe. toe. toe. thii. heat controls. The missing semiconductors will be sent to dealers to install within a year. It's a way for Ford to get explorers to customers faster during the shortage. The AC and heat can still be controlled from the front seats. Ford says customers buying an explorer without the chips will get a price reduction.

Bravo Ford. This is smart, huh? Instead of delaying sales because of chip shortages, Ford is just going to give you the car unfinished, and then you can install the chip later on. I mean, essentially, Ford is using the same tricks that we use in relationships. Yeah, you tell someone when you meet them, Look, I'm not a perfect person right now, but if you give me a year or two I'm gonna get my shit together. Now you won't get your shit together but you made the sale. And not for nothing, not for nothing. But anyone who's ever bought a

new car knows the experience of trying to get the price knocked down by removing some of the bells and whistles right. Everyone knows it get that out? Can I get that? And the dealer, what do they always say? They was like, oh, sorry, it doesn't work that way. It all comes with the package. But now we know the truth. Yeah, because suddenly they can't get apart. And now they're like, oh no, we can remove some features and charge you less. Who needs a special opening to let the moon in their car anyway? In fact, you know what, now that we know car manufacturers can do this, they should make everything optional on a car.

Yeah, if I want to save a couple thousand by not having brakes, that should be up to me. I'll put the brakes in later. Let's see how the shit goes. You know what you think about it, actually, this makes that a that a that a that a that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's thi thi thi thi thi thi th't problems. We just gotten used to fancy shit. Cars, not having heat controls in the back, that's not a problem. Back in the day, you didn't have to worry about the chip

that controls the temperature in the back seat, because if you were in the back seat, you had no say. Yeah, which is the way it's supposed to be, by the temperature in the car? The person who pays for the car! Are you gonna come in my car and choose your own temperature? Oh, Trevor, I prefer 70 degrees, yeah, and I prefer people who can drive themselves. Shut up, Grandpa, let's just get you to the hospital. I'm joking, he died a long time ago.

The car was too cold for him. privilege, you know, like choosing the music or deciding what to scream at the dude who just stole your parking space. What, are you being serious? Yo, that guy, that guy just took my spot! You ass bucket! Hey, I got this. You ass bucket, you see that's how it's done. And finally, let's move on to some entertainment news about country superstar Darley Parton. Not only is she one of the world's greatest singer-songwriters, she is also one of the world's most beloved people. Everyone loves Dolly Parton. Yeah, I'm sure even Q&on is like, sure she eats babies

like all other celebrities, but only the babies who deserve it. But here's the thing. Dolly Parton doesn't need all our love. Country music star Dolly Parton is saying thanks but no thanks to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yesterday, she announced that while she's extremely flattered and grateful, she's pulling out of this year's nominations. She posted a statement on social media saying, I don't feel that right. I really do not want votes votes votes the votes the votes the votes the votes the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 tho thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, really do not want votes to be split because of me so I must respectfully bow out. This is not the first

time Parton is turned down a major honor. Last year the self-described Backwoods Barbie asked Tennessee lawmakers to drop a bill that would have cemented her legacy in statue form at the state's capital. Parton also revealed a Hoda and Jenna she declined the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice. 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 th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thoed thoed thoed thoed thoed thi. the, thoed thoed thoed thoed thoed thoed thoed thoed. thoed thoed thoed thoed thoed. thoed. thoed. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I, thed, thed, thed, thed, thed, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean, thoooooed. thoed. I meded Jenna she declined the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice. I don't work for those awards it'd be nice but I'm not sure that I you know that I even deserve it. Wow I love how Darlie Parton is treating these major awards you know like there's some random dude on the street trying to hand her a flyer. Hey can I interest you you in the Presidential Medal of Freedom? No, thank you, not today. God bless you, though, honey. God bless you.

For all those people who said, Dolly doesn't deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this has just proven you wrong. Because turning down the Rock and Rolle and the of Fame is like, ah, that is so punk rock! I also get why Dolly Parton doesn't want a statue of herself. We've seen how celebrity statues can turn out. You think it's gonna honor your legacy, but instead, it just shows what you'd look like

if you were left in the microwave for 45 minutes. But yeah, Dolly Parton doesn't do any of this for the awards, which is truly wonderful. It says so much about her, and I think it sets a great example for the rest of us, what we should aspire for. You know, this is why we here at the Daily Show are honored to present Dolly with this special award for the most humble person in the world. Congratulations, Darlene. You did it!

Woo! Ha! Yeah! Oh, man. And by the way, this award doesn't just come with a trophy. It also comes with $27,000 from my bank account. Now, unfortunately, Darlay Parton has refused to accept this award, so I'm just going to keep that money. All right. Now, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aren't the only awards coming up. A couple of weeks from now are the Oscars, which a lot of people are excited about.

Yes, but Louis Black is not one of those people, as we're about to find out in a segment we call back in black. The Oscars are just around the corner. That magical night when America's finest actors seethed with rage while British people pretending to be Americans steal their awards. And if you're not excited about the Academy Awards, welcome to the club. They suck. For years, the Oscars broadcast has drawn fewer people than the strip aerobics class I teach. It's exercise, and it helps me unlock my sensuality.

So, this year, the producers are trying to get us watching again in ways that range from the idiotic to the insane. The producers of the Oscars are slimming down the broadcast in an effort to boost slumping ratings. Eight awards will now be presented off air, including the Oscars for film editing, makeup and the hairstyling and music original score. The ceremony for those categories will begin an hour before the telecast. The winners will then be sprinkled into the three-hour broadcast. The president of the Academy says the changes are necessary for the future success of the Oscars. You can't cut out the men and women who work behind the scenes. Without them on stage, the Oscars are just awards for Hollywood's greatest sex criminals.

How sad is it that the academy is decided the reason people don't want to watch its award show is that there are too many awards? Recognizing excellence through awards is the whole point. Without that, the Oscars are totally meaningless. Also, with that, the Oscars are totally meaningless. It's especially unfair, not to broadcast that makeup and hairstyle Oscars. Those people are the backbone of our industry. I have a whole te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te te too too too too too too too too too too many too many too many too many too many too many too many too too the too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too the too the too the the the the the the the the the the te a whole teals teals tmany tmany tminal tmany tmany tmany tm tm tm tm tm tm tma. tmils. tmils. tmils. the the tmils the the the the t broadcast that makeup and hairstyle Oscars. Those people are the backbone of our industry. I have a whole team of people working hours to make me this beautiful. Now, if people simply don't care about the little awards, then sure, cutting them will make the show more appealing. The problem is, nobody cares about the big awards either, because they

keep nominating movies nobody is seen. Okay, I did see the power of the dog, but only because they trick me into thinking it was a superhero movie. If the dog doesn't fly, that's not a power. So now the Academy has a real problem. Sure, they could just nominate movies ordinary people like, but that wouldn't be a good idea either, because ordinary people are morons, who only like dumb movies that don't deserve nominations. So instead, they come up with the perfect way to pander the fans, while also insulting our intelligence. And the Motion Picture Academy is looking to get film fans involved.

The Hollywood reporter says this year folks on Twitter get to vote on their favorite movies of last year using the hashtag Oscar's fan favorite. Can be any title, so you're not limited just to this year's nominated pictures. The movie that gets the most fanotes will be recognized during the Oscar show. Ah, what a great idea! Let's let Russian bots choose the Oscars. They did such a terrific job with our elections. There's already a vote for fan favorite.

It's called buying a ticket, asshole. If the Oscars are so desperate for viewers, there are better ways to get eyeballs than cutting categories or polling Twitter. How about a halftime show? It works for the Super Bowl. Also, how about making the stars smash their heads together until they get brain damage? It works for the Super Bowl. But really, we all know what makes the Oscars such a drag.

Those interminable speeches, and clearly playing people off with music doesn't do Jack's shit. Back to you, Trevor. Thank you so much for that, Lewis. When we come back, Kim, Kanye Pete.

One of the strangest things to try and wrap your head around, I find especially in America is when a story stops only applying to the, not the industry that it's in, but sort of like the sector that it's in,

and when it starts affecting everybody or speaking to everybody, you know? What I mean by that is, there are some stories, the stories, their the s-the thir the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the industry that it's in, but sort of like the sector that it's in and when it starts affecting everybody or speaking to everybody. You know, what I mean by that is there are some stories that are purely like entertainment. It's tabloid, it is, it is what it is. There's some stories that are only in the world of fight. But then there are some stories that I feel transcend everything and then speak to larger conversations. And I honestly think the Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Pete Davidson situation is turning into that. You know, it started very much in the land of tabloid, but I feel it's creeping and has crept into a world that more people should pay attention to, but not for the reason that you may think.

You know? For those who don't? For those who don't know, Kim Kardashian was married to Kanye West. If you don't know that, I really envy your life. I want to know how you roll and how you avoid all these things. But they were married. They got divorced. And over time, Kanya has become more and more belligerent in how he tries to get Kim back. Like when it started, it started tha thiiiiiiii th, th, th, th, I th, th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I thi, I thi thi tri-I tri-I tri-I trived try try thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I thi thi thi thi thi thi, I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thri thri thri thri thri thri thri thri thri thr-n thr-n thi thi thi thi thi thries to get Kim back. Like when it started, it was, you know, some would say romantic, oh, I want you back, and, you know, here are roses,

and this is my dream, and some people like, and some people like, oh, okay, it makes sense. You're trying to win somebody back, wea under the t, he, like it's a claymation music video, I should say, he chops off Pete Davidson's head. And I mean, we all understand the subject. I wish this guy was dead is what Kanye is saying. Now, Kanye, you know what I mean? To be fair, Kanye says, no, this is just art. I don't actually want to hurt him. This is just art. Don't judge my art. But here's here's thing. First of all, just like from a rap perspective,

I was sad that now like rappers, like claymation and rap beefs are a weird combination. I'm not gonna, it's pretty hard in my opinion to be gangster with clamation, because you have to do like one frame at a time, you know? I do understand that art can be therapy. Do you know what I mean? And what's weird about the situation is, Kanye West has told us that he struggles with his mental health. So I get it. You want to have

artists therapy. But here's what's weird that Kanye doesn't understand. It's like what we're seeing is it's, it's, it's, it's, it makes you uncomfortable, man, because here's a thing, Eminem was Eminem from the beginning. I'm gonna kill my ex-wife, I'm gonna, but it was his schtick, and we knew it was his stick. He wasn't that person. With Kanye, we don't know how to worry. And I think Kanye doesn't seem to understand that. He goes, oh, leave me to create my art. Yeah, but Kanye, you told us you have problems. Now when we worry about that, you say we shouldn't worry

because it's not problems or it is problems. Which is it? It puts society in a precarious position. And the reason I say that is because of his harassment. Which I know is crazy to say. Because there's a lot of people who go like, Kim Kardashian. She loves publicity, she loves celebrity, she loves all of this, she does the Kardashians, this is her life, this is her thing. Yeah, and I get it, but there's also an element of a woman saying to her ex, hey please leave me alone. You know what I mean? Please leave me alone. And so like this story keeps on escalating. You've got

Kanye West who's harassing Kim Kardashian and then you've got Pete Davidson who's now embroiled in the whole thing. And the story escalated to a new level when now Pete Davidson leaked texts that he sent back and forth with Kanye. He sends a selfie to Kanye and Kanye said, where are you? And he said, I'm in your wife's bed. Funny. Right?

And we also don't, because I mean, we don't know what the person's doing. We know what he's implying. But because of the pandemic, in your bed could mean anything. Like my bed used to be a place for sleep and sex. Now it's also like my living room slash meeting area. So in your bed could mean anything but we get what Pete was going with right we'll get what Pete was going with going I'm in bed with your wife. Then after that there's a whole bunch of text we says hey listen Kanye let's talk as men let me help you with your mental health I've

also got mental health issues. It was actually that part of the message the message was really beautiful but I'm sorry guys to start a message with I'm sorry guys, to start a message with I'm in bed with your wife and then go like, let me help you with your mental health. Yeah, now you've added to the mental health of the person that you're trying to help them with. Do you get what I'm saying? It's a little bit crazy. It's a little bit like roasting somebody while you're giving them CPR. And now this thing, it's, deserves a little more awareness from the general public. It's because it touches on something that is more sensitive and more serious than people would like to admit. I know everyone thinks it's a big marketing stunt. Oh, look at the coincidence. Kim is launching a new show except...

Two things can be true. Kim likes publicity. Kim is also being harassed. Those things can be happening at the same time. Because I'll be honest with what I see from this situation, I see a woman who wants to live her life without being harassed by an ex-boyfriend or an ex-housand or an ex-anything. You may not feel sorry for Kim, you know, because she's rich and famous because of the way she dresses, because she appropriates black culture, because she tells women they're lazy, because she broke the internet and then didn't put it back together, whatever, you hate or whatever. But, but what she's going through is terrifying to watch and it shines a spotlight on what so many

women go through when they choose to leave. You know, people always say that phrase to women, they go like, why didn't you leave? Oh, why didn't you leave? Why didn't you leave? Yeah, because a lot of women realize when they do leave, the guy will get even crazier. And when I say crazy, I don't mean mental health crazy. I'm like, it's, you understand what I mean. You know what I mean. The point is that Kim Kaa and countless other women, they find themselves in a terrible th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their the guy will the guy will the guy will the guy will the guy will the guy will the guy will the guy will the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy. their, the guy. their their their their their their the guy. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the guy will will the guy will the guy will the guy will the guy will the stop clearly isn't helping, but at the same time he hasn't broken any laws, you know, so can she get him arrested? No, I don't think so. Would she even want to? I mean, you know, she spends half her time helping black people come out of jail, so now she can't be throwing Kanye West in. It's a bit a paradox. But still, she's being harassed. And I get it, society, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. So, th. So, can't, can't, th. So, can't, can't, th. So, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin. So, thin. So, thin. So, thin, thin, thin, thin. So, thin. So, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. So, the. So, the. And I get it. Society's like, ha ha, you deserve it. This is funny, this is that. And I get it also from Kanye's side. In like the parts of Kanye, there's parts I understand. I understand Kanye saying I don't want

my daughter on Tick-Tock. I get, I agree with that part of what he's saying. I'm not involved in other people's relationships though. I think that's a separate issue. What we're seeing, though, is one of the most powerful, one of the richest women in the world, unable to get her ex to stop texting her, to stop chasing her, to stop harassing her. Just think about that for a moment. Think about how powerful Kim Kardashian is, and she can't get that to happen.

I grew up my whole life in an abuse of household, right? Most of my, let's say from the age of nine to whatever, 16, one of the things I found most interesting was how often people told my mom that she was overreacting. What I found interesting was how many times people told my mom to calm down, people told my family to come to everyone, you know, and everyone had different reasons. Oh, I remember once we went to the police. thape. thape. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin thin the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thi thi thi station and they said to my mom, oh, but did you talk back? Is that why you're here? You know, oh, but what did you say to it? It's all these questions, all these questions. I remember seeing this as a child, by the way. You see this as a child, you know? And you see a world where women are questioned for wo thee thean't th th thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, it their, it, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, the, the, that, that, that, that, the, theat, theat, the, theat, the, thoooooooooooo-a, tho, th as opposed to people questioning what is happening to them.

And for years people said this shit, ah no this, ah you know this, this happens, this, that happens, there's everyone, police, some family, stranger, whatever it was, whatever was, and I'll never forget one day I got a call for my brother saying, hey mom has just been shot in the head. She's in the hospital now, she's just been shot. And I'm not saying it to make it about me. I'm just saying maybe that's why I look at the story differently, to be honest with you, is I go, it seems like nothing. And again, I'm not saying Kanye will, please.

I'm not saying he will. Not saying that. But you see it in all these stories where people say people people people people people people people people't, whether it's the people around him, whether it's the people in their lives, whether it's us as a society condoning or not condoning, and I know it's nuanced, I'm not saying Kanye is just a bad guy, please, but just as society, man, we have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming? Or do we at at at at at at at at at at the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th as thus thus thus thus thus, thus, thus, tho, thoes, their, their, thoomorrow, thoomomomomomombing, thoes, thoes, thoes, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their..... their, their, thin. thin. thin. thoes, thoooooooooomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, thoes, thoes, thoes,?

He's a pioneer in integrative medicine and popular spirituality and he's here to talk about his latest book about finding prosperity within. Dr. Chopra. Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you. Abundance, the inner path to wealth. Inspired by a lyric from Bob Marley. I love it. Who said some people are so poor, all they have is money. I saw someone ask him a question about that once in an interview. They said to him, are you rich?

And he says, what does that mean? Am I rich in friends? Am I rich in family? Am I rich in life? Am I rich in money? What is rich? And that lyric inspired me actually to do some scientific research on does money buy you joy? Does it buy you true love?

Does it buy you intuition, creativity, insight, imagination? Does it buy you even safety and security? And the answer is no. So money has a role, but it's not everything. For the everyday person who's reading this book, what I loved about it is you go through parts of the body, you see the different chakras, you see how you tie yoga poses into the connection between the spirit, the body, and the mind. I would love to talk about how we as people can better connect with an abundance inside

of ourselves, whilst also acknowledging the external factors that affect us. Because many people may not be extremely poor. Obviously, there are many who are. But there are a lot of people who go, well, I'm not extremely poor, but I'm not so wealthy that I can't care in life. How do you begin to even start this journey of finding an inner wealth when you are thinking about your next check etc. You know the word chakras become very popular as you know because of yoga but

chakras are just centers of awareness that represent the hierarchy of needs. The chakras speak about seven levels so level one survival and safety. Okay. Level two sensuality through the five senses, which is mindfulness. Every experience for the senses should be sensuous and vibrant and alive. The third is money and abundance. The fourth is love and belongingness. The fifth is creative insight. The sixth is higher consciousness in terms of insight,

imagination, archetypal thinking, and the seventh is transcendence. So each of these chakras has special modalities to activate them through attention, intention, and transcendence. And there are rituals for doing this. People say, why rituals? They are symbolic representations of our needs and our aspirations. What do you think we should be aspiring to? Ultimately, to joy. If joy is not the measure of success, you wasted your life. You don't want to end your life saying,

I made all the money in the world, but I was never joyful. You talk about everything, you study everything, you know. I think that's what a lot of people enjoy about your work, is that it is not apart from the world, but it is a part of what is happening in the world. Let's talk a little bit about what's happening in Ukraine. You know, we're seeing a situation now where the whole world feels like it is at the mercy of a madman. And when I was reading this book, I was thinking, these are such fantastic tips on how to

do whatever you want to do. And then I sometimes go, man, what if books like these get into the wrong hands? What if the wrong people use your books to go, oh, this is how I will actualize an evil thing in the world. So when you look at somebody like Vladimir Putin, for instance, you know, is he not actualizing everything? A Freudian analysis of Vladimir Putin is that he's a sexually impotent psychopath who is taking his rage out through mass murder. He belongs in a cage at the Hague, ultimately. And the only way, by the way, he can, there's no military solution to it.

One solution could be, again, a Gandhian-Mendelian solution, if the Russians participated in civil disobedience and massive, peaceful strikes and paralyzed the country. Now, they would do it if they knew what the facts are, but now he's cut off all the media and Twitter and all that. That's, in the, practically speaking, the only way is for the Russians to get rid of him. Wow. I'm still getting over the fact that you said he is impotent and he's taking it. It's a Freudian interpretation. As you know, Freud was obsessed with the first chakra. Yes. Yes. It's an interesting world that, in how they all tied together.

You actually twea, you know, I think it was too Putin essentially you said, karma never loses an address. That's it. Help me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that, that, that, that that, that, that's, that, that, I, I that, I that, I that, I that, I, 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. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. an address. That's it. Help me understand that, though. Does that mean that bad things will happen to bad people, or does it mean that maybe in the next life something could happen? Like, when does Putin's karma come? It's an echo from the past. I have seen very rarely tyrants, whether it's Saddam Hussein or it's many of the recent people from Libya, Qadhafi, or what's his name from that country next to yours? Oh Zimbabwe? Now I can't believe I forget his name now. He was so omnipresent Robert Mugabe. Yes and and the other guy, Idiomin. They all had very terrible ends, you know, so you never know.

So I believe in the law of karma. It's an echo from the past. One of the issues that you are really passionate about is suicide prevention. We've seen a lot of that a spike, especially in the pandemic. Your foundation works to fight this. So suicide is the second most common cause of death among teens. It is, every 40 seconds, somebody is killing from themselves in the world. Last year, more people died from suicide in Japan than from COVID-19.

It's, it's the biggest pandemic and our humanity is incomplete unless we address it. So we created this website called Neverlone.love. And we have a chatbot over there named Peewe, and named after a recording artist who died from suicide. And she is a machine. And teens love to talk to her because they don't feel judged. And they're more comfortable talking to a machine than a human being. Wow, are you serious? I'm serious.

This is the world we live in. So she has now de-escalated about 6,000 suicide attempts, 11 million conversations happening through text. How do you program that machine because it's an AI? Yeah but but AI has to be taught by somebody and as we've learned in other tech AI will have its shortcomings because of who do so what do you try and teach the AI? It's an ethical AI and now there are safeguards on how to create ethical ayes which are not like fake videos or fake anything.

And it's built into the system, the ethics. And there's a whole association now, amongst AI experts that is accelerating the movement of ethical AIs. This is going to get even better in the future. And of course we always have humans at the back end. You have to. Right. Dr. Deepak Chopra, you're a fascinating man, you know, the Chakras AI, Vladimir Putin, I mean it all comes together with you. Thank you for taking the time to join me on the show. You're very good to me and thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you. All right, everybody, abundance.

The inner path to wealth is available now. Dr. Chopra also has a meditation app and an audible podcast, so be sure to check those out as well. We're gonna take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this. Well, that's our show for tonight, but before we go, please consider supporting the national network to end domestic violence.
