Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.
Starting point is 00:00:24 I'm Seth Done of CBS News. all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at, that's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. January 15, 2020. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Dish show everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. So much energy. Thank you for coming out. Let's do it. Let's make a show. Take a seat, people. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is from the hit show Blackish and now she stars
Starting point is 00:01:16 in the hit spin-off show Grownish Yarrush Yarrish Ahra Shag is joining us everybody. Also on tonight's episode, Ronnie Chang shows us the future. The Bernie and Warren fight is dragging in other candidates and Democrats just hand-delivered Trump's ass to him. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with a crazy story out of Los Angeles, where a Delta airline's flight had to make an emergency landing. But but was the people on the ground who were the most afraid. We start with that breaking news from Los Angeles where dozens
Starting point is 00:01:52 of children and adults have received medical treatment after the crew of a China-bound Delta Airlines jet forced to return to LAX after losing an engine dumped fuel as it passed just a few thousand feet above neighborhoods and schools. The Boeing triples to to to to to to to to to 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 tho-up tho-up tho-up tho-up the the the the the the the the the the the the people people the people the people the people the people the people people people the people the people people their people people their people their people the the the the the the the the the the 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 people the the the the. the. the. thea-c. thea-c. thea-coa-c-c-c-upooo'ea-c-c-c-upea-upo' thea-upea-upea-upea-up it passed just a few thousand feet above neighborhoods and schools. The Boeing triple 7 with 164 people aboard headed to Shanghai China was airborne only minutes when it was forced to circle back. Streams of fuel poured over three local schools where 44 children and adults complained of skin irritation suffering from minor injuries. Man, that must have been terrifying. an adult complained of skin irritation suffering from minor injuries. Man, that must have been terrifying.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Los Angeles gets jet fuel sprayed on them from above. And worst of all, it's not even organic. Yeah. This is also probably how God punishes you for not nominating women directors, LA. That's what it is. Now, fortunately, no one in the schools was seriously hurt, but I like to imagine that there was one rebel kid sneaking out behind the school to smoke a cigarette, yeah? And his friend was like, no Mike cigarettes are
Starting point is 00:02:54 dangerous and he's like, don't be such a bitch. B. Now, now in case you're wondering why the school's in the pilot's defense, they had to dump the fuel because the plane lost an engine, because it's a Boeing. So it makes sense. But, but, like, did they have to dump it over the schools? It almost feels personal, right? Like, three schools. You know, it's almost like one of the pilots went to those schools. And his co-pilot was like, let's like, let's like, let's like, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. than. than. than. than. thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks. thanks. to. thanks. thanks. to. the perfect place. Take that Mr. Engelberg!
Starting point is 00:03:26 All right, let's move on though to some legal news. America has always had weird old laws that no one realizes are still in effect. And one man who's getting divorced is trying to take advantage of that. A Kansas man has asked in Iowa court to let him settle a dispute with his ex-wife with a trial by combat. The Des Moines Register reports David Ostrom asked the Shelby County Court to give him
Starting point is 00:03:50 12 weeks lead time in order to forge katanas swords. In those documents, Ostrim argues, trial by combat has not been explicitly banned or restricted in the United States. Trial by combat? Wow, when this couple said till death do us part, the United States. Trial by combat? Wow, when this couple said till death do us part, they meant it. This would be like if marriage story was directed by Quentin Tarantino. And I honestly feel sorry for the wife, because getting divorced is already hard enough. You know, usually it's like, oh, my ex is so annoying.
Starting point is 00:04:22 He wants to to te. And now it's like, oh, my ex is so annoying. He wants the kids this weekend and we agreed. And now it's like, oh, my ex is so annoying. He won't stop texting me about how I only have six more weeks to forge my own weapon. And by the way, how crazy is it that people are like, well, trial by combat was never explicitly banned, so I guess it's still a thing? Like, how backlogged is America's legal system, right? Because this doesn't bode well for something like reparations. You know? Because think about it's like, yeah, I'm sorry,
Starting point is 00:04:46 reparations are going to take a while. We're still trying to outlaw jousting. I will say this, though. I will say this. This is a great loophole if you just want to murder someone. Yeah. Like if someone at work is thiiiiiii. their their their thi. thi. to to their. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to thi. to to to to to to to to to 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 th. that. to to to that. that. that. to that. to that. that. that. that. that. that. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thau. thau. ta. ta. thau. thau. tha. thaea. thaea. thaea. thaea. thae, huh? Yeah! And then everyone in the office has to be like, God damn, Jerry lost the shit out of that duel. And finally, last night's Democratic debate
Starting point is 00:05:12 featured some fiery exchanges, particularly between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But it turns out the real drama happened after the main event was over. One-time allies, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, the two senators, they're working through some issues. They had this moment after the debate where Senator Warren left Bernie Sanders hanging as he tried to shake her hand. That was followed by a brief but noticeably tense exchange. Tom Stier, they're deciding I'm not going to get in the middle of all this right now.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Too late. Wow. This beef between Bernie and Warren is really heating up. And you know what that means? Trial by combat! That's how they do it in Iowa, baby! And by the way, how cute is Tom Steyer? He's like oblivious to the whole 10 situation. He's just he's so cheerful. He's just like wow what a fun debate guys. You guys thinking what I'm
Starting point is 00:06:09 thinking? TGI Fridays? No, Bernie? Applebees? What do you want? Now everyone has been trying to figure out what Bernie and Elizabeth Warren were saying to each other. They don't want to tell anybody they haven't said thinne fight. No one knows nobody they thoes they they thoes they they thoes they they thoes tho. No one tho-n. No one tho. No one tho-n. No one thi thi thi thi thi thi. No one thi. No one thi. No one to told is told. No one told. No one to say told is told is told. No one. No one. No told. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. about this mini fight. No one knows, nobody knows what they said, except the Daily Show. Because you see, we have high-tech technology that picked up their conversation. Bernie, did you see the Oscar Noms, little women? What a snub? What? Credit Gerwig, best director. For talking snubs, Adam Sandler in uncut gems with snub? They don't respect the sandman. I saw cats. Square money bags. Wow, that was intense. All right, let's them for the headlines.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Let's move on to our top story. Impeachment. It's when Congress puts the President in airplane mode. With the world recently on the brink of World War III, you might have forgotten that impeachment is still happening. So, let's catch up on the latest developments in another installment of the Magical Wonderful Road to Impeachment. It's probably presidential harassment. You may remember that after Trump was impeached
Starting point is 00:07:24 back in December. Nancy Pelosi didn't pass the articles on to the Senate. Instead, she chose to hold on to them, tight. Tighter than Mike Pence's sphincter in a room with two women. Temptation often passes through the back door. But today, after a month of tension, Pelosi finally announced she's handing the articles over to the Senate so that they can hold the trial. And I don't know what was going on with Nancy today, but at her press conference she
Starting point is 00:07:54 seemed a little spaced out. Good morning, everyone. This is a very important day for us. And as you know, I referenced temporal markers that our founders and our poets and others have used over time To place us in time to emphasize the importance of time because everything is about time Yeah, and speaking of timing it feels like Pelosi's edibles just kicked in at the wrong
Starting point is 00:08:25 moment there. What was that? All of us are just clocks telling time. We all have hands and faces and little tiny batteries. Now I think, I think the point Pelosi was trying to make is that she feels that after a month of waiting, now is the right time to pass impeachment to the Senate. But handing over the articles of impeachment isn't as simple as handing over your mom to a nursing home.
Starting point is 00:08:52 No, an occasion like this calls for a little ceremony. They are going to be marching the articles from the House chamber through the statuary hall, through the rotunda, along the second floor of the Capitol, past the old Senate Chamber, through the Ohio Clock Corridor, and then eventually to the Senate Chamber. Those documents now are being taken from the House of Representatives through Statuary Hall,
Starting point is 00:09:18 they'll be going into the Capitol, the Tunda to the Senate to present the articles of impeachment. Mr. President, I have been directed by the House of Representatives to inform the Senate. The House has passed H. Res. 798, a resolution appointing and authorizing managers for the impeachment trial of Donald John Trump, President of the United States. So, we're all just going to pretend nobody invented email? Is that what's happening? It's 2020. Just send it as a PDF. These people are marching the articles down the hallway. It looks like the most morose pizza delivery ever. That'll be 2499.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And just as an aside, what was up with that graphic? What was that from the news? Huh? We don't need to see an arrow making love to the Senate chamber to understand how people enter a room. They're walking across the building. It's a straight line, it's a hallway, we get it. So now, so now that the Senate has the articles of impeachment, the big fight is now going to be about whether or not the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the trial will trial will trial will trial will trial will trial will will will trial will will trial will include will include will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will the the the the the the the the the the the the the trial the the the trial the the the trial the trial trial trial the trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial trial will will will will include trial will Senate has the articles of impeachment, the big fight is now going to be about whether or not the trial will include new witnesses and new evidence. Because you see, just yesterday we learned new details about Trump and his shady dealings with Ukraine. The new evidence collected by congressional investigators comes from Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump's
Starting point is 00:10:43 personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, 59 pages of records including text messages, emails, and handwritten notes, including one scrawled on hotel stationery that reads, quote, Get Zelensky to announce that the Biden case will be investigated. And there's a letter from Giuliani requesting a meeting with Ukraine's then-president-elect Zelensky, emphasizing Giuliani was working meeting with Ukraine's then-president-elect Zelensky, emphasizing Giuliani was working in his capacity as personal counsel to President Trump and with his knowledge and consent.
Starting point is 00:11:12 No, seriously? They wrote down the plot of their crime and then kept it. That is a literal paper trail. Why would you do that? What, were they just hanging around like, you have to keep the receipts? Like, isn't that taxes? No, no, it's for crimes too. You have to keep them. Only Donald Trump would hire henchmen who are also into scrapbooking.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Like, they're like a bunch of criminal Martha Stewart's, you know, also known as the tr-suit. So that's where where where where where where we where we where we that's where we that's where we that's where we that's where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we're where we are that's where we're that's where we're that's where we are now. that's where we're that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's where. that's where. that's where that's where that's where we're that's where we're that's where we are now. that's where we are now. that's where th. that's where that's where that's where th. that's where that's where that's where that's where that's where we're that's where we are now. So. So. So. So, on the cusp of the Senate trial, with new information still trickling out as we speak. And we'll see how many Senators decide they're interested in hearing more evidence. But at least for Nancy Pelosi, her job is now done. She held the hearings, she made impeachment happen, and she passed the articles on to the Senate. And now she's earned some time, much needed time to chill with Kelso and Fez in the basement. I was thinking about the Incredible Hulk. I like that show, especially the part where he gets all like mad and turns green and then his shirt rips off. But then I was thinking, what if he was purple and a lady? As you know I'm referenced temple markers that our founders and our poets and others have
Starting point is 00:12:29 used over time to place us in time, to emphasize the importance of time, because everything is about time. So, no more for Nancy, she's toasted. I knew Nancy had that good shit. We'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like, none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. to 60 minutesutes a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Starting point is 00:13:33 The future is coming fast and it's here now, which means Ronnie Chang is back with another installment of today's future now. Thanks Trevor. The computer electronic show in Las Vegas just wrapped up. It's the annual convention where tech companies show off new gadgets so useless they make men's nipples seem functional. And this year was no exception. The nation's most anticipated tech show of the year opens its doors to the public today in Las Vegas. The consumer electronic show, CES, gives us a glimpse of the new technology that will be making this way into our lives.
Starting point is 00:14:10 This year at CES, there's a faucet I can talk to. If turning on the faucet ever feels like a lot of work, then meet the U.S. by Moen to dispense two cups of water. Getting Mowin. Wave over sensor to dispense two cups now. Two cups. Two cups. At last, a faucet that takes 30 minutes to fill a cup. Who is this for? Is there someone out there who's like, finally, a faucet that takes 30 minutes to fill a cup. Who is this for? Is there someone out there who's like, finally, a sink for me, the guy who wants to drink exactly two cups of water,
Starting point is 00:14:53 and not a drop more? I don't want to be over-hydrated, and I don't want to be under-hydrated. I want to be perfectly hydrated. I want to be perfectly hydrated. Also, by the way, every faucet is a faucet you can talk to if you're very, very lonely, okay, trust me. What would impress me if they actually invented a faucet that you can't talk to, okay? It's like you ask you for a cup of water and it's like, look, I'm just not ready to open up right now. And if you're hoping CES will bring us the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, well keep hoping because the robot uprising is going to take a while.
Starting point is 00:15:27 The Samsung has unveiled Neon, the world's first artificial humans and this year's consumer electronics show in Las Vegas. These virtual beings look and behave like humans. Creators claim that the human avatars have the ability to converse and sympathize like real people. Okay so I'm about to get to chat with neon and ask it a a a a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tau, tauase.oeion. I tau-upozymeaunionion. I tionionion. I tionionionionion. I tionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionionion. I tailionionionionionionionion. I'm going. I'm going. Weailion. Weailion. Weau. Weau. Weau. Weau. Weau. Weaugh. Wea. Wea. I'm. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. So. So. So. Soatars have the ability to converse and sympathize like real people. Okay, so I'm about to get to chat with Neon and ask it a few questions. Here we go, and my questions are going to be relayed by Simon here to Neon. Neon, what's your favorite food?
Starting point is 00:15:57 Neon, what's your favorite food? Pizza. Pizza. Wow. Millions of dollars in research and development, and that's the big revelation. Pizza! I bet that's the only word she knows. It's like, hey, Neon, how do we solve climate change? And two hours later, it's like, pizza. And also, how does it even know it likes pizza?
Starting point is 00:16:27 How can you trust something that's never eaten before? That's like asking the Pope about his favorite sex position. He's not qualified to answer. Okay? And what kind of sorry-ass tech demo is this? Why don't I have to ask the guy to ask the robot for me? Does he come with the computer? Imagine if that's how it worked with Siri. It's like, hey Siri, turn on the lights. I mean, sorry, hey Derek. Tell Siri to turn on the lights. Thanks, Derek. But luckily, not all the stupid stuff at CES is useless
Starting point is 00:17:04 this year, because one new invention might actually change our lives. A company called DNA Nudge helps shoppers make healthier decisions while grocery shopping based on their DNA. So you go into the supermarket, take a DNA test, and then you wear a band that sands groceries as you shop to recommend the best food for you based on your DNA. So what I can do if I'm wearing this device is turn up to to to to to the to recommend the best food for Hugh based on your DNA. So what I can do if I'm wearing this device is turn up to the supermarket and actually scan a product and that went red so that means this is an ideal for
Starting point is 00:17:34 my body chemistry. Okay, DNA grocery shopping kind of sounds like it might make sense. Although I got to be honest this whole thing sounds like the world's was Lizzle remix. All right I just took a DNA test, turns out, I'm 100% buying Cheetos. Yo, we don't need a DNA test to know that we need to eat healthy food, okay? Let me help you out. If what you're eating comes in a box with a cartoon character on it, it's bad for you, okay? There, I just saved you $200. Eating healthy, isn't that complicated.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Fuck your DNA, just eat more vegetables, okay? We don't need to map the human genome to know that it's a bad idea to eat a pint of Benjerys. Just taste the DNA. Are you Irish? Eat more vegetables? Oh, you're 2% West African and 98% Swedish? Well, eat more vegetables. And by the way, that just means you're white.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Ronnie, Ronnie, you seem especially upset by this DNA service. Hell yeah I am! I gave it my DNA. It told me to eat more walnuts, and that I'm adopted, okay, which sucks because I hate walnuts. Now, if you excuse me, I have to ask Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek Derek to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tooesa? tooes? to I have to ask Derek to ask Siri, to ask my faucet, to get me a new slice of pizza. Ronnie Chang, everyone. We'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.
Starting point is 00:19:10 You're rolling? But that's all about to change. Like, none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News, listen to 60 Minutes a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an inspiring young woman, an actor, an activist, a college student who stars in the hit Freeform series, Grownish. Please welcome, Yarra Shahidi. Please welcome Yara Shahidi!
Starting point is 00:19:47 Welcome! Yarrahed the show. Thank you. It's been almost two years to the day since I've sat in this chair. It has been almost two years to the day. What was great is when you were here You were promoting the launch of Grownish. Yes, and now we're celebrating season three kicking off Congratulations. I know, thank you so much. This is really exciting. I know what I love about the show It feels like it mirrors your life. You know, we're watching you in the show playing this girl who grows into a young woman and you start to experience changes in life where it's like how you work, how you live, love life, work life, political life, everything, what you're most excited about in the upcoming season. Well I feel like
Starting point is 00:20:35 season three is the culmination of everything we've worked towar, the the, the, the the the ce. te. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin, thin, thin, thr-wea, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, the, their, their, their, th, their, is change change change change change change change change change change, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their you know what she's gone through, and she's actually figuring out what it means to be an adult. This is when the title actually comes into play because she's grown and she has a job for the first time for more than four hours, which is really impressive. And so I think this season you see her try and figure out what her values are as she enters the adult world and is no longer even having that barrier of what it's, to, to, to, the to, the th and, th and th and th and the th and thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, because, because, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thrown, thrown, and, thrown, and, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thi, thi, thi, thi, that barrier of what it means to just be a college student. Right. It really is like a journey that we all take for granted in life. Because you know, I always feel like in life, we always feel like we've figured it out and we've grown. We always think we're grown. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:14 You're like, 18, you're like, I'm grown. And you're like, 25, you're like, this character, and when you're looking at your character, how do you split them up? And then where do you find the moments where like Yarra ties into the character that we see in the show? Right, I feel like Zoe's become my alter ego. I've played her for six years going on seven years, which is surreal, and I'm grateful for that.
Starting point is 00:21:36 But it means that I a year older than me. It's like being in the future but also a future where you're not in your own body because it's like I would never find myself in the situation doing Adderall but it's useful to know the repercussions. Right. And so I think for me it's been like really fun to even just have that opportunity as a young human to live my fullest life through Zoe and and then go back to being Yara, which is not a square but a quadrilateral. I like that. I feel, so you're basically living like life,
Starting point is 00:22:14 you're doing all the wrong things that the rest of us don't get to erase, and then you go like, no, that was just in the like Grownish was actually a perfect prep course for life because I'm somebody that tends to think of things as pretty linear of like okay you make a mistake you learn from it you move on and you grow and there's something really beautiful about playing a character that consistently messes up right because I feel like that's affected my own view of like okay life life is circular and that's okay th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I the. I the. I the. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I's th. I's th. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's.

And college, I consider the 13th grade, and which I feel like you'd never leave high school,
Starting point is 00:22:49 you just repeat high school again, but now you're older. Oh, you do. You repeat it in college and then high school happens again in like the work environment. I bet even in an old age home, someone's in a locker. Someone is being someone is being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being being is being being is being to being to be to be to be to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi.

It never ends. Yes. I am fascinated by that notion. Because like as Yara Shaheed, there's one thing people know and love about you, and that
Starting point is 00:23:08 is you are truly one of the smartest, most thoughtful human beings that just exists in the world, right? And you're engaged, you read, you're knowledgeable. I mean, Oprah literally said, I just hope that I'm around to see Yara as president of the United States. That's what Oprah Winfrey said. Like people ask me when are you going to run? She's like, no, when is Yara going to win? There's a lot of pressure that comes with as a person. But you found a way to remain young while still being engaged in areas that people think a lot of young people wouldn't be.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Not even just politics, like, appreciate it. You had a post where you just talked about like issues with skin and you posted, you know, just like a bare face on Instagram and you talked about like why it was important to do that. Why do you do that? Um, well, honestly, I feel like my public life is really an extension of what's been established with my family and the foundation that I have at home. And so oftentimes, I think what I th, I th, I th, I th, 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, like, like, like, I th, 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, I th. th. th. th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th. th. th. th. th. th world as Yara was give me an opportunity to talk about just the conversations we've had in which we're always talking about politics, we're always talking about it was my 11 year old brother, it was my 11 year old brother who introduced me to all my economic podcasts I listened to
Starting point is 00:24:12 all my economic podcasts I listen to his free time. And so. And so. And so. And so- So- So- So- So- So-. And I-. And I-. And I-. And I-. And I-. And I-. And I-. And I-.

He doesn't have free to, he's 11. What does the free time mean? What does that mean? I don't, well he also has a green screen in our front room, so he's making films. Oh, of course.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Yes, carry on. Yes.

He's. t. t. t.e. t. t. t. t. t. the. the. the. that it's important to me is that the idea of being out in the world, it becomes really trivial if you don't have a greater purpose because quite honestly, if I don't feel like I am progressing towards something greater than myself, then I look and like I've made 22 minutes worth of content in the past five days. And that's great. Yeah, that's it. that's great. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thrown. thi. thrown. thrown. thrown. thrown. thrown. th. thr-I. throwne. the. 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. the th. the the the the the the the the. I the. I's thr. I's thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. todeee. thr. thr. theea. the toda. the thr. the thr. thr. the. that's why it's been important that Grownish talks about issues. I feel like it's important that I'm out in the world talking about just what affects me and my family. Because selfishly, I see my peers being affected. I see my own family being affected. And the fact that I have the safety right now
Starting point is 00:25:14 to be in conversation, and also have places where I mean, time and you've opened this platform for me to talk about the importance of voting and young people I think demonstrates why I like to do what I do with the opportunities I've been given so thank you. You really use them well which I've always admired honestly as a human being because as you said 17 the tea their tean most of us would be just thinking about well in our country it was like getting ready to drink for the legal age. But you at 17 were going, no, I'm looking to get people to register to vote. I want as many young people to vote as possible. Your excitement at 18 was like, I'm going to vote in the midterm.
Starting point is 00:25:53 That was like your thing. And you were genuinely excited about it. It was like, this wasn't like a TV excitement. Like, Yaro was like, oh man, 18. My friends friends th comes th comes the th comes 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Your, th. Your, th. Your, th. Your, th. Your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your th. Your, your th. Your th. Your th. Your th. Your th. Your th. Your th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thea. to to thea. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. My friends always said the only reason I'd ever get a fake ID at 17 was to prematurely vote. Which I feel like is the most on-brand thing that's ever been said about me. Right, and now you are, you're getting ready. I mean 20 years, it's another big year for you. You're going to be 20 this year and 2020, giant election coming up. Yes. What do you hope, not for yourself, but for other young people who didn't turn out last time because they feel
Starting point is 00:26:27 like voting doesn't matter and the vote doesn't count? Well I think what this last year and a half, if not the past three years, have really demonstrated is why policy is personal and I think through the actions, what we're experiencing globally has demonstrated why it's so much more than this theoretical, about the economy, this theoretical debate about health rights and such, but why it's a conversation that takes place in your neighborhood and your community. And so as of right now, what I've been experiencing is not even having to convince young people like, hey, you should be concerned about voting, but really it's been a matter of like how can I be a liaison in terms of resources and resources, the resource,. Like I literally had my little voter handbook annotated. Like it was a full homework assignment to figure out where to find information on policies and such.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And I'm somebody that gets to spend, I don't know, an absurd amount of time just listening to the news and then talking to people about the news. And it was still extremely confusing for me. And so I think it's a matter of just being able to say the passion's already there and how do we translate that into actual policy action by Explaining what's happening. Wow. I look forward to campaigning for you when you are running for office to the United States presidency. Thank you so much for being on the show again. Always an amazing guest.
