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
Starting point is 00:00:30 show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. September 26, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the D.A.D. Show everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Wow. You guys are elected. Let's see it. Let's make a show. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is an activist and one of the stars of The Good Place. Jemil is joining us everybody. It's going to be a great conversation. Also on tonight's show, America is sending a dead body to Egypt. You'll never have to sit next to a baby on an airplane again, and Donald Trump is getting impeached. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Wow. Wow. That's a lot of Trump fans in the audience. All right, let's catch up on today's headlines. First up, some exciting news from the world of history and arts. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has sent a stolen antique back home. The Met has returned the gold coffin of an Egyptian priest. Turns out it was smuggled out of Egypt after the Revolution in 2011.
Starting point is 00:01:59 The coffin dates back 2,000 years. Prosecutors say forged documents were used to sell it. Wow, the Metropolitan Museum had a gold coffin that was smuggled out of Egypt. Not only that, it was smuggled in someone's ass. That is not easy. I also love how the museum was like, but they used forged documents. How are we supposed to know this 2,000-year-old Egyptian coffin belonged to Egypt? How should we supposed to know this 2,000-year-old Egyptian coffin belong to Egypt? How should we have known? Like what kind of documents does something like that even come with to fool you?
Starting point is 00:02:29 Like, the guy pull out a rock with an owl, an eyeball, and just be like, you see, I've got the receipt. And by the way, whenever I see this image, I always think to myself, like, why don't we bury people like this anymore. Not the gold part. Just like the painting the face on the coffin. I think that's cool, you know? I want to be buried like that. Yeah, because when you die your face is always so sad. It's always like, you know, yeah. I think they should repaint our faces on the front of the coffin, you know? So then like when you die, you're there and then like what they do is they close is they close is they close is they close is they close is they close is they close they close they close they close is they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close they close death face and then the other face is like, mm-hmm, I'm dead. I'm good. All right, let's move on. If you've ever lost something, please don't give up hope because Iceland just recorded one of the craziest lost and found stories of all time. Interesting story about an iPhone which fell from an airplane, it's found a year later with a recording of that fall. Pilot was flying over southern Iceland in summer 2018,
Starting point is 00:03:25 trying to film a flooded river. When filming, he accidentally dropped the phone. There goes right out the open airplane window. Down, down, down, and then... FUD. All right, you tried to find the phone afterwards but had no luck. Over a year later, a landowner discovered that phone. Wow, that is unbelievable. The guy dropped the phone out of a plane and it still works.
Starting point is 00:03:49 But somehow I dropped my phone from the toilet to the ground and it shatters into pieces. That is some bullshit. You know what it would be funny? Is if that pilot was trying to get rid of the phone, right? You don't ever think of this. What if he was in the plane with his girl and he got a text message? She's like, who's Stephanie? And he's like, ah! I guess we'll never know. Now a year later, she's like, so, who's Stephanie? He's like, ah, I dropped it on the bathroom floor. All right. And finally, if you love flying, but you to try to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thrie thrie th thrie the thrie, thr-a the thr-a, the thr-s the thr-s the thr-s thr-s, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thr. I thr-s, thr-s, tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. th. th. thean. thean. And th. And th. And th. And then maybe you should be flying to Japan. Japan Airlines is coming to the rescue of travelers who don't want to sit near a crying
Starting point is 00:04:27 baby. Japan Airlines seat selection map now shows where babies will be seated on upcoming flights. This is good news for parents traveling with children as well since they can try to congregate around fellow travelers with babies who won't mind being around them. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. What a genius move. Japan Airlines will show you where the babies are on a plane before you book your seats. It's the best invention in flying since the seatback tray.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Yeah, because before the tray, when you asked for orange juice, you just have to be like, yes, please. I love this idea. I want to see where the babies are on a flight, because there's nothing worse than thinking you're gonna sleep on a plane, but then you realize you're sitting next to a tiny, crazy person. Because that's where babies are, just screaming and shiting themselves. Then they eat their feet.
Starting point is 00:05:20 What are you? I also also they they they they they they they they they 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 that that that that are thate thathea that. I'll that. I'll the the the the the. I'll the the the the the the the. I're that. I're that. I're that. I're that. I're that. I're th. I're th. I're th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. th. thin. that. that. that that toe. that that thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. more babies will sit next to each other. Yeah. Because that's the only way you can ever get a baby to stop crying. Have you ever been around babies, right? Like there's one baby crying? And then have you noticed when a baby sees another baby crying? Like they'll be like, ah! And then another baby's like, oh! And they'll be like, whoa, what's thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. that. that. that. tho tho tho that. that. that. 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 only only only only only the the the the the thea thea the the thea thea to to to to to to to to to to to to deal with this? So I love the idea.
Starting point is 00:05:45 I also don't think we should stop there. Yeah. I don't just want to know where the baby's on a plane. I also want to know where the dude who snores is going to be on the plane. All right? I want to know where the person who gets up and Talking is for the runway. Once we get over 10,000 feet, you shut up. I'm not your friend. We talk here, how are you not? Oh, where you fly?
Starting point is 00:06:10 A seat belt, and when that goes off, your mouth goes off as well. So congrats to Japan Airlines, for letting me see the see where the adults will be crying. Spirit Airlines, you'll wish you were sitting next to a baby. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. Impeachment. It's the congressional version of the morning after the film.
Starting point is 00:06:42 It's now been three days since Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House and woman who hands out Tums on Halloween, announced formal impeachment proceedings into President Trump. So let's catch up on all the latest updates with our ongoing segment. The fantastic absolutely tremendous road to impeachment. The only thing they can impeach me for is for having the best economy. No other president should ever have to go through... It's probably presidential harassment. It is safe to say, this has been one of the wildest weeks of Donald Trump's presidency. And that includes the week he got fake dreadlocks and spoke like a Jamaican for a press conference.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Remember that? That shit was crazy. It was like, damn Mexicans, Bisty, they're coming over the wall. Big ones send them back, the the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. It's thi, thi. It's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thin, their, thin, thin, thin, thin, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'''' thi' thi' thi. th crazy. It was like, they're Mexicans, besti they're coming over the wall. Migone send them back, back, back, back. Well, this week was crazier. On Monday, the Ukraine scandal blew up. On Tuesday, the Democrats opened an impeachment inquiry on Wednesday. The transcript of the call came out. And today, the big news is that the secret whistleblower complaint that kicked this whole thing off has finally been released. Major breaking news in the impeachment investigation into President Trump. The House Intelligence Committee has just released the whistleblower complaint.
Starting point is 00:07:52 This is the second paragraph of that complaint from the whistleblower who says, in the course of my official duties, I have received information from multiple U.S. officials that the President of United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election. That's right. The whistleblower's complaint has accused the president of soliciting foreign interference in America's election, which is really bad for Trump. What's even worse is that this entire complaint is only nine pages long, which means people might actually read it. Hell, if it had a few pictures, Trump himself might even read it.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Because you guys don't remember, but that was one of the big problems with Robert Mueller's report. It was like 500 pages. Nobody wants to read 500 pages. You could give me the secret to eternal life. But if it was 500 pages long, I'll be like, I'll just die. It's fire. I, yeah, just bury me in a gold coffin, I'm fine. Now, this document reiterates a lot of the things we already saw in the transcript of the Trump-Ukraine phone call. But it also goes beyond that. Like, you know how Trump and his allies keep saying, there was no pressure to Ukraine, there was no pressure on them the their their their their their their to their toe, their toe, toe, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, the, toe, toe, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is toe, is too, is too, is a too, is a the. And, is a the. And, is a the. theananananananananananananananan, is a t tooome.a, is a tooome. And, too, is a too, is a too, them to investigate Biden. Well, the whistleblower's complaint says differently.
Starting point is 00:09:06 There was an understanding with Ukrainian officials that to get a meeting with President Trump, they had to play by some ground rules. And those ground rules dealt with having to talk about the Biden investigation. When you go to the whistleblower complaint, it says multiple U.S. officials told me the Ukrainian leadership was led to believe that a meeting, phone call between the president and President Zolinsky would depend on whether Zalinsky showed willingness to quote play ball George. That's right, according to the whistleblower, Trump refused to even speak with Ukraine unless they agreed to play ball and investigate Joe Biden. And this must have been confusing, right? Because to Ukraine, play ball means soccer. But to Trump, play ball means chasing the the the the the the the the the the the then, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to the 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the th, th, th, the th, thi will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will will wills wills wills wills wills wills wills wills wills wills willen, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theiolenen But to Trump, play ball means chasing the meatball that fell out of his sub. I'll get
Starting point is 00:09:51 you meatball. I ate your family. I'm coming for you. Now, Trump and his defenders are saying that the whistleblower's account is fake, all right? Because they say that the whistleblower is basing all of this on secondhand information. He didn't hear the cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause, the cause, and he, and, too, and, and, to, to, and, and, to, and, to, to, and, and, to, and, to, and, but, to, but, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, to, to, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, 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, tra, to, tra, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, they say that the whistleblower is basing all of this on secondhand information. He didn't hear the calls and he hasn't seen anything himself. They also point out that the President of Ukraine himself said yesterday that he never felt any pressure from Trump. Although if you actually watched the Ukrainian president say it, you might come up with a different impression. President Zelens, have you felt any pressure from President Trump to investigate Joe Biden
Starting point is 00:10:27 and Hunter Biden? I think you read everything. So I think you read text. I'm sorry, but I don't want to be involved to democratic, open elections of USA. No, you heard that we had, I think, good, uh, uh, uh, to the phone call it's, it's, it's, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, Joe, to be, Joe, Joe, Joe, to be it's to be it's to be to be it's to be it's to be it's to be, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, the 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the thin, the the the thin, the the the the thin, the the the the the the thin, the the the the thin, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, to democratic, open elections of USA. No, you heard that we had, I think, good phone call. It was normal. We spoke about many things. And I... So I think, and you are ready, that nobody pushed me. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And there was no pressure. Okay. Okay. Okay. I don words, no pressure. Okay. Okay. Okay, I don't want to contradict the president, but I don't think the translation of that was no pressure. That man seemed like he was under intense pressure. I mean, he actually said the line, I don't want to get involved. I mean, that's not a comfortable phrase you ever say when you're comfortable. How you feeling? I don't want to get involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved involved. I mean, that's not a comfortable phrase you ever say when you're just comfortable. How you feeling? I don't want to get involved. I'm so comfortable. You can't ask him that question
Starting point is 00:11:29 in front of Trump. It's like asking the hostage how he's being treated while the kidnapper is right next to him. Oh, how are they treating me? Oh, it's amazing. Yeah, uh, last night they even gave me toilet paper. I love it here. I can't ask him in front of Trump, man. So, the whistleblower's complaint, accuses Trump of pressuring the Ukrainians. While Trump and his people say they did nothing wrong and that the call he made to Ukraine was completely fine. In fact, Trump himself said, it was perfect, completely fine, the most perfect call ever made of all time.
Starting point is 00:12:12 But here's the thing. If there was nothing shady about that call, then why did the White House work so hard to make sure that it never saw the light of day? This whistleblower was hearing from people inside the White House. These White House official st st to to to to to to to to to to to to to the never saw the light of day. This whistleblower was hearing from people inside the White House. These White House officials told him information were deeply disturbed by what had transpired in the phone call. And then he details how there was an effort to lock down the phone call, to make it sure that only a very limited number of people would have access to it. So they put it on a separate, basically a separate server. Yeah, they they it outside the normal channels and put it into a channel that is normally reserved for highly classified,
Starting point is 00:12:48 the most highly classified information. You see, now that's, that's hell of suspicious. Because if the call was, so perfect, why do Trump's people want to get rid of it immediately? That's something you only do when you're trying to hide shady shit. Like if you came home from school and your parents told you that Grandpa died of natural causes and we threw his body in the river, you would have some follow-up questions. You'd be like, wait, why do you throw it away? It was natural. We're just like Grandpa needs to go now, like right now. Right now.
Starting point is 00:13:19 So basically, White House officials heard the phone call and then moved the record of it from its normal computer to a more private server so that nobody would see it. And yes, this is a new scandal about a private server. HASHTHT throwback Thursday. It, uh, really is interesting. Wouldn't it be nice if this was the meat cute that brought Trump and Hillary together, you know? Like he just calls her up, like, I finally understand you, Crooked Hillary. We're the same.
Starting point is 00:13:55 But the biggest revelation, the biggest revelation about this private server, isn't just that it contains the phone calls with Trump and Ukraine. It's that it might contain many more. The complaint adds that this was, quote, not the first time White House officials used an extra secured server meant for classified and especially sensitive information. That means calls with other world leaders.
Starting point is 00:14:17 That's right. Who are these other leaders? What are the conversations? We thought this was just a Ukraine story, but that secret server could contain multiple conversations Trump doesn't want anybody to hear. And nobody has access to those calls, so there's no way to find out.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Or at least, there was no way to find out. Because you see, the Daily Show has a secret spy deep inside the White House, Melania. And thanks to that spy, we've been able to get our hands on a few of those embarrassing calls. Yeah, this is Angela Merkel. Angela, if you don't help me win my re-election, I'm going to tell everyone Hitler was German. Welcome to Popeyes.
Starting point is 00:15:06 May I take your order? Mr. Popeye, if you don't let me try that new spicy chicken sandwich, I'm going to declare you a terrorist organization. Dad, it's my birthday. She tell me you love me. I'm too busy. Come on. Fine. I love you.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Put this call on the private server. No one can ever know this happened. Not good folks. We'll be right back. to 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 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.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Economics. 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 Donald Trump and the Democrats are heading toward an impeachment showdown. But will it turn out to be a blockbuster like the movie Avatar?
Starting point is 00:16:52 Or will it turn out to be a total waste of our time like the movie Avatar? Well, to help break it down, we turn to our senior impeachment analyst, Deszy Leick, everybody! What do you think this whistleblower complaint means for Donald Trump's presidency? Trevor, this whole thing has me so mad. Look, if these allegations are true, then our president, and forgive me for using the N-word here, is a complete ninkum poop. Oh, you have me nervous for a second. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I think everyone is angry that the president abused his power like this.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Okay, take it easy, Mattow. I'm mad because our dib-shit president can't even get impeached right. He's wasting his one impeachment on taking down Joe Biden. Joe Biden will take down Joe Biden. The guy's already gaffed himself out of two elections. Look, when it comes to Biden, all you have to do is just wait it out and he'll go away. You know, he's like a cold or my parole officer.
Starting point is 00:17:58 That guy is so obsessed with me, actually, I think that's legal. So wait, Desi, you don't think Trump abused his power? Well, no, th if, th th th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi. thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi, thi, thi's thi, thi's 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. too, too. theeeeeeeeeei. theiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thithink that's legal. So wait, Desi, you don't think Trump abused his power? Well no, if anything, he didn't abuse it enough. Look, you only get one impeachment. You got to make it count. Presidents used to understand that. Andrew Johnson defied Congress. Richard Nixon had the Saturday night massacre. Bill Clinton got a BJ in the Oval Office. Head, mouth candy, the old Pac-Man. Pac-Man?
Starting point is 00:18:31 Yeah, you know. Bob, ma'am. Okay, I get it. Okay, I get it. Okay, I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Okay. Okay. I get it. Look, okay. My point is, Trevor, Trump has blown it. He might get impeached for gossiping on the phone like a little bitch. I mean, it's a waste of a wonderful opportunity. It's like when I gave my husband a hall pass and he used it to kiss Karen from the PTA. Karen, you know what I gave my husband a hall pass and he used it to kiss Karen from the PTA. Karen! You know what I used my hall pass for?
Starting point is 00:19:09 I murder-feeced Pierce Brosden. Okay, Desi, that is insane. I know, Karen. I'm the PTA. Kesy Lanik, everyone, we'll be right back. I think we've made it something. I think we've made it something. I think we're not in something. Thank you. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here.
Starting point is 00:19:34 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.

Well, I did it's kind of the same agent. that's the that's not that's not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not th not th not th not th not th. th. to my to my to my to my th. to my to my to to to to to 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 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the thea. thea. thea. thea. to to thea. to to be a writer and I got an agent based off a script that I wrote and that same agent was also representing people at the good place and they said, we need Pakistani, overly tall, annoying Englishwoman.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Off you go, off you go. And I went to the audition and I got it. Yeah, but you've really connected on the show, you have a vibe about you. One thing I've heard a lot of people say, not just from the show, but in real life, is they go like, Jamila is one of the funniest. No, they go, Jamila is one of the funniest. I don't read comments on YouTube. I'm talking about in real life. People go, they just say, I'm a slug. they're the funniest people.
Starting point is 00:22:52 They're, I, the, the, the, t, th, to, to, to, the, 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'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I. resultado, I, I, I, I'm, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, 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'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, you go, like we all grow up in the world that we grow up in. Yeah. I always say to people like I think wakness is learned. I don't think anyone just wakes up and they're just like this is how the world works. Yeah. It's been a journey for guess like you know it's something that you're constantly learning and no one is perfectly woke no one knows all of the answers everything is constantly updating around us in humanity and we need to update alongside it and so I'm just I call myself a feminist in progress because I consider myself never fully formed
Starting point is 00:23:41 and I think that that helps me know that I always have more to do, more to learn. And I can always be and do better. So, you know. I'm fantastic. You may refer to yourself as a feminist in progress, but a lot of people see you as a face of what they would call the body positivity movement, but you don't see yourself that way. No, that movement is not for me. That movement was designed for women who are discriminated against,
Starting point is 00:24:06 like in front of doctors and in our society because of their size. That is a must-have movement for those people. I am slender, so I'm not discriminated against because of my size. I actually believe in body liberation and body neutrality. Like, I believe in just not thinking about your body and I have the luxury of being able to do that because I'm not being constantly persecuted for my size. So I am someone who used to have an eating disorder, I still have body dysmorphia, and I just manage to get more things done in my day when I'm not thinking about my figure. I can't stand in front of a mirror and say, oh I love my thighs, I can't just and think about my bank account and orgasms, you know?
Starting point is 00:24:47 Did you say think about my bank account and orgasms? Yeah. And like, well peace. No, no, it's just, I just think there's a business opportunity here where you sell people, mirrors that don't show them themselves, just show you like a bank balance going up. Yeah. And then like they lost orgasm. Do it, man. We can just do it. We can make, we can just, we can just, we can make, we can make, we can make, we can make, we can make, we can make, we can make, we can make, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, th, th, 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, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, think, think, think, think, thi, thi, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th show you like a bank balance going up and and then like they lost orgasm. We can just do it we can make we just sell as an app you can make a lot of money. It is it is interesting that you say feminist in progress because it does feel like we're in a world now where
Starting point is 00:25:16 everyone wants to be heard rightfully so but then the conversations around it can become so visceral and you know like no one wants to listen in and around these conversations. You've been very quick to just take it. If someone says, hey, Jamila, you didn't include these people in your conversation or you've excluded these people in this conversation, you just go like, yes, I'm sorry, I'll include them and then I move on. Does it ever get to do that? Or like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just. to just, to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just, to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just now because other people before me fought for women of color to be given opportunities that I'm now able to benefit from. So no, I never tire of being corrected if I'm wrong. You know, I have more to learn and I'm grateful that people don't patronize me and they
Starting point is 00:25:56 think that I can take the criticism. And I can. And I can think that the thing thi thing thing thing thing thing thing that we thing that we thing that we that we that we that we that things thi that that that thi things that that that that thi that that that thi that that that thi that thi that that that thi thi thi thi thi that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that 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 thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi and you're just never going to find that. All you can find is progress and not perfection. And so that's what we should all be striving towards. You know, if we completely cut people down every time that they show their ignorance or they make a mistake or they have a mistake from 10 years ago, then people are going to feel like there you no longer stand by. So, you know, if you haven't done irrevocable harm, I think you should be allowed the opportunity to learn and grow and do better. And so, you know, 10 years ago, I was... But eight years ago, seven years ago, 10 years ago, I was problematic in my thinking,
Starting point is 00:26:40 and there were loads of things that I didn't know and didn't understand and thought I was right about and had I been cancelled at that time I would never have gone on to become someone who now spends all of their life fighting for women's rights and the rights of people who are marginalized and who is now being able to you know get Instagram and Facebook to change their global policies to protect young people. That's a huge thing. But tho th. But th. But th. But th. But th. But th. But tho tho th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th.

Thank God I didn't get counsel because I got better. But tell us more about that. No, this is really, this is a really powerful, you know, movement that you spearheaded. And that was you got the social media companies to change how they viewed what advertising
Starting point is 00:27:16 people were able to see under the age of 18. Because you've been very vocal against like people who advertise like the tummy-a-teas and the the tummy teas and like all those like super diet fads they're laxatives they're all laxatives you just shit fire is that what they are and then you don't shit again for several days afterwards and then you need more and it's just bad oh sexy but I've seen but I've seen but the people have like a tumb I'm like a f-sk I'm like a the the t t t t people but the the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll have they'll have they'll they'll they'll have they'll have they'll have they'll have they'll have they'll have they'll have they'll they'll they'll have they'll have have have they'll have they'll have have they'll have they'll have they'll have they'll they'll they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they. I I they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they and they go like look at my tummy and then like they have the tea. Yeah they're photoshopped surgically enhanced tummy. Fuck off. Sorry. But I thought the tea. So anyway, no but unfortunately there are a lot of impressionable young people who don't know that the tea is a scam. They don job to do something, what are they doing? So they have made it impossible for minors, anyone under the age of 18 to see cosmetic
Starting point is 00:28:08 surgery procedures being sold or any kind of diet or detox products. It just will not come up on your feed. And if you are over 18 and you don't want to see these things and you see that people are selling like false claims like lose 300 pounds and five minutes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you lose lose lose lose you you you you you lose lose lose lose lose you you you lose lose you you lose lose you lose lose lose you lose you lose you lose lose you lose you lose you lose lose lose lose you lose you lose you lose you lose you lose to lose to lose th.

Right, that's like, that would be like a piranha drink. It was like, drink these piranhas. Yeah, you drink piranhas and they eat you and you lose everything. And so you can report those and they get taken down. So Instagram and Facebook also,
Starting point is 00:28:34 these two like huge corporations, are most importantly making a stand against. normalize this culture of celebrities and influences, just being able to sell like everything other than heroin injected into your eyes freely on the internet to their really young followers and so what we needed was the powers that be to say no we do not accept this. And so I'm only, this is just the start of what I'm doing. Like next I'm moving on to legislation because we need to get this stuff off the market and away from children. I'm someone who the the the the the the thoe thoe thoe thoe thoe thoe tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I the tho-I the. the. the. the. the. the-I the-I the' the' the' the-n' the-n' the-n' the the the their their their their their their their their the the their the the their the their their the, their their their their their the, the, the, the, the, the. theanann'-n'-n'-n'eanan'ean'ean'ean'ean'ean'ean'ean'ean'ean't toean't toean't thean't thean't theee from children. I'm someone who took these products and I will never get my full health back. And so I'm damned if this is going to happen again 20 years later. Wow. I think, I think I'm going to see you in heaven.
