You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but

how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. July 15, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Come to the Daily Show, everybody. We are back. Thank you so much for coming back. Thank you for coming out, everybody. I'm Chernoa. Our guest tonight is a fashion icon whose new memoir is called Dapper Dan, made in Harlem. Dapidan is joining us, everybody. Also on tonight's show, New York goes dark.

The world's worst billionaire, and I think the president might be racist. So let's catch up on today's headlines. All right, let's begin with news from Hollywood. They gave us black superheroes, then we got black mermaids, and now we may be getting a black spy. The next James Bond star to receive a license to kill will be a first in franchise history. The Daily Mail reporting British actress Lashana Lynch will be revealed as the next thou-savon agent in the new Bond 25 movie. Lynch will be the first black woman to play the role

the movie is due out next year. Oh hell yeah! Double 07 is gonna be a black woman. Are you serious? This is so dope. Yeah, because she's probably gonna kick ass just as much as he did. And this will be the first movie where we see a bond villain die from a lethal dose of side eye. Mm-hmm. You know what's gonna be really fun is seeing how all the other characters react to

a black spy, you know, like now when the villain captures her, he'll be like, I have one question for your double-07. Can I touch your hair, please? No, it's just like, do you wake up like that? I've never, I've never had this before. I was like, wow. My favorite part of the movie is going to be where the bad guys are chasing her. Like, stop that black lady, but not because she's black. Not because she's black. It's just because she stole out plutonium. If she were white, I would say the same thing. You know me, guys.

In fact, if I didn't want They're back in the news. Now you probably know this. Ever since the Democrats took the house, these four women have taken the lead in calling Trump out. And yesterday, the president hit back in the most trumpy way imaginable. We're going to go to Washington now, where President Trump has sparked a storm of outrage after a series of racist tweets targeting members of Congress who are women of color. The president Sunday called out progressive Democrat Congresswomen, tweeting, why don't

they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came, then come back and show us how it is done. Adding these places need your help badly. You can't leave fast enough. The Congresswomen came from Cincinnati, Detroit, and New York City. Only one of the group, Representative Ilhan Omar, a Somali refugee, was born outside of the US. Wow. You know, I don't know what's worse.

The fact that the President thought it's acceptable to say, go back to where you came from, or the fact that he said it to people who are already where they came from. You know, it's almost like in Trump's head, you can't be a person of color and an American, which is strange because he of all people should know that you can be two things at the same time. Yeah, I mean, he's bald and has a full head of hair. It doesn't make sense, but we accept it. But not surprisingly, not surprisingly, Mr. Mexicans or rapists doesn't think that he said anything bad. Doesn't concern you that many people saw that tweet as racist and that white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you on that point.

It doesn't concern me because many people agree with me. And all I'm saying, they want to leave, they can leave now. It doesn't say leave forever. It says leave, if you want. Okay, I don't know. I don't know where to begin. First of all, just because many people agree with you, just because many people agree with you, it doesn't mean you are being

racist. they would say something, yeah, they would say something, yeah? And I also love how Trump is trying to twist it now. He's like, when I said, go back to where you come from, I didn't mean forever. I mean, for that these people aren't racist. We just haven't let them finish their full statement, yeah?

Like maybe if we let people finish, they say, we don't need your kind around here. We want your kind around here, because we appreciate you. So here we are again, my friends. Everyone says this was racist. Trump says it was not. It's hard to know which side is correct. But this sounds like a case for Trevor Noah, Racism Detective.

He's the only person who can help us find out. Is Donald Trump racist? Yes, he's racist. And finally, the true. Yes, he's racist. For decades, Americans have wanted to know what secrets are contained within the walls of area. And finally, in some viral news.

For decades, Americans have wanted to know what secrets are contained within the walls of Area 51. And for decades, the government has said, what's Area 51? But it looks like now the nation's morons have had enough. And they're going to find out for themselves. For decades, conspiracy theorists have accused the United States military of hiding evidence of little green men and UFOs at the top secret base in the Nevada desert. Now hundreds of thousands of Facebook users are signing up all the time for an event called Storm Area 51. They can't stop

all of us. It's scheduled for September the 20th. The Air Force is warning people that Area 51 is a training range and that the military is ready to defend it. OK, I didn't think Area 51 was suspicious until that last part. Yeah, the military's like, guys, it's just an ordinary training range. And if you come near here, we will kill all of you. And it's like, what's there? Now we want to know. And as for this Facebook group, their plan

is to storm the military base because they, quote, can't stop all of us? Have you guys never heard of bombs? Because those things can stop a lot of us at the same time. And let's be clear, a million people aren't going to storm Area 51. A million people responded on Facebook, yes, which means seven people are going to storm Area 51. And like, I don't even know what these people are hoping will happen, you know?

Like, what are you going to do when you get there? You know what would be great? Is if they actually get through the security and then find an alien? And the alien is like, hello, everyone? I'm like, oh my God, so you're real? Well, don't worry, buddy. We're going to get you for the headlines. Let's move on to our main story. Jeffrey Epstein. Over the past week, you've probably seen his name everywhere. Newspaper headlines, your Twitter feed and

obviously the sex offender registry. And if you don't know Jeffrey Epstein, thinne, think RKelley without the melanin or the talent, and a lot more organized. Former high-flying financier Jeffrey Epstein was indicted today on charges of sex trafficking involving underage girls. Federal prosecutors say Jeffrey Epstein created a network of dozens of victims, some as young as 14, who he's sexually abused at his estate

in Palm Beach, Florida and mansion in New York City. The FBI raid on the mansion uncovered sex toys, a life-size female doll hanging from a chandelier and hundreds of lewd photos. Bill Cosby used to live in a townhouse directly opposite the mansion. I don't know who's writing real life now, but the story is insane. First of all, that this hedge fund billionaire got away with running an underage sex ring for years, and secondly, that he lived right across the road from Bill Cosby. Like, I don't know who the neighborhood watch is, but they're doing a shitty job. Like, seriously, how do two major sex criminals buy houses across the road from me? Like what are the chances? Huh? Is there a filter on

Zillow that I'm unaware of? Is there? There's like fireplay, secret sex dungeon? Oh and doorman. Dorman, definitely do the same, I'm sorry, Bill Cosby and Jeffrey Epstein on the same street. Talk about a dangerous neighborhood. Like, they could do a whole season of law and order that just takes place on that block. Just that block. So, so the police raided Epstein's mansion, found lots of incriminating evidence and through him in jail. And today, Epstein's lawyers argued that he should be allowed to live under

house arrest until his trial. Although I don't think house arrest is a good idea, because I mean, the house is where all this shady shit allegedly went down. It would be like Walter White getting to go wait for trial in an RV in the desert. It's like, well, that's, that's where it happens. And you might be asking, where does Epstein even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even the the the the the th. th. th. th. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He's. He's. He's, th. th. He's, th. He's. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th get the balls to ask for such lenient treatment from the law? Well maybe it's because this wouldn't be the first time. In 2008, Epstein was accused of running this very same sex trafficking operation involving at least 40 underage girls, but those federal charges back in 2008 were dropped after Epstein received a controversially lenient plea deal. Epstein was only in county jail for 13 months and was allowed out to go to work six days a week. I'm sorry, everything is shady about this deal.

Yeah, what is the right reaction there? Not only did the charges get dropped. What he was charged for meant that he was going to jail, but he was allowed to leave prison for six days a week and go to work. Yeah. That's, that's not that's not that's not that's not that's not that's that's that's thueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueue. that's that's that's that's 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 thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. the the. the the. the the the the the the the the the the. thea. the. thea. to to to to thi. to the. and go to work. Yeah. That's not prison. That's just life. You go to work every day. And then Sundays you stay in. The only difference is he was living rent-free.

I mean, can you imagine if you were sharing a cell with this guy? Epstein comes back to jail at night, and his cellmate is like, what a day? I spent 12 hours in solitary confinement, and Epstein is like, ah, I wish I was in solitary. Starbucks was a zoo this morning. Anyway, good night, Bill Cosby. Now, one of the reasons the story has blown up, isn't just because Epstein is a billionaire who was running an underage sex trafficking ring.

It's also because the man who led him off with that lenient prison sentence went on to become Donald Trump's labor secretary. Yes. And now because the story is blowing up again, Trump's guy has been forced to step down. The fallout from Epstein's case reached the White House Friday, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta resigning his cabinet position after Acosta faced mounting pressure for his role in negotiating a controversial plea deal with Epstein as a U.S. attorney in Florida more than a decade ago.

President Trump accepting the resignation while praising Acosta. This was him, not me, because I'm with him. He was a, he's a tremendous talent. He's a Hispanic man. He's a Hispanic man? What a strange thing to bring up when a guy is resigning. Like, no other bus would do that. No, it would be like, so everybody, uh, today is Jerry's last day.

He's Korean, and uh, they'll be cake in the break room. Thank you, everybody. So, the guy who gave Epstein that sweet deal has resigned in disgrace. But the question remains, how did Epstein managed to get away with just a slap on the wrist in the first place? Well, it turns out maybe it's because of how insanely connected he was. The 66-year-old has paled around with some of the most powerful in

politics and business, including President Trump. In 2002, Trump called Epstein a terrific guy, adding, it is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. Reporting this morning, suggesting closer times between the president and Epstein, a 1992 party at Marilago built as a calendar girl competition. A Florida businessman who organized it tells the times 30 people attended this party. 28 girls, Mr. Trump, and Mr. Epstein. That's the entire party.

28 women in a room with Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Doesn't sound like a party. It sounds like an escape the room. That's what it sounds like. Pull on his hair. See if it does something. And it's not just Trump. It turns out Epstein has had powerful friends on both sides of the aisle.

Mr. Epstein was also friends with former President Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton's office released its own statement. President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to. Clinton acknowledges he flew four times on Epstein's private jet in 2002 and 2003. Chante Davis was a flight attendant on the jet known as the Lolita Express because it allegedly shuttled underage girls between Epstein's homes. She told Inside Edition Clinton did nothing improper on those trips. She says she made him peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. You know, I'm... I'm glad the news got her to reenact the making of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Just so that we all know what that looks like. That was nice. That was nice. And clearly, clearly, this is a man who had a lot of connections, right? It might explain how he got away with those heinous crimes for so long. And with these new charges being filed against him, many are wondering who he might bring down with him. Over the coming weeks, the story's going to unfold. There's a good chance. A lot of questions are going to be answered.

Like, how exactly Epstein made all of his money, which is shady. Which powerful people were involved in his sex ring. And, and, thiae. And, thi. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thoome, thoome, thoome, thi, thoomorrow, thoomoomorrow, thoomorrow, thoomoomorrow, thoom. thoom. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, the. And, the. And, thea. And, thea is a theooooooooooooooooooooooooom. And, the. And, the. money, which is shady. Which powerful people were involved in his sex ring? And most importantly, why his front door is so goddame big. There are so many mysteries that this trial will hopefully uncover. And you know what? If we don't get the answers, I'm going to start a Facebook group where one million of us marched to his house. And we figure out what the hell is going on. We'll be right back.

John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio, on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Sturt, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. New York City in the summertime. There's so much to love about this place.

It's got 100% humidity so you don't need to shower. If you get too hot, you can always go to the beach and swim in a sea of syringes. And love is in the air because th, th, th, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air, the air the air the air the air the the the the the the the the the the th, th, th, th, th, you you you you you, wherever you you thi, thi, wherever you you, wherever you you, wherever you you you you you you you you you you you you th, wherever you get th, where you get 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 thi ever thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho tho to to to to to to to too toooooooooooooooooooooooo' too' too' the, wherever you the need to shower. If you get too hot, you can always go to the beach and swim in a sea of syringes. And love is in the air because of all the subway masturbators. But just when I thought, New York couldn't get any better. This happened. The blackout mystery. A major section of New York City

grinding to a halt as 40 blocks. Go dark. Mass confusion in Manhattan. Minutes after a power outage flip the off switch on the city's bright lights. From above, you could see the shadows of the skyline. In Times Square, the usually vibrant billboards went black. That's right, one of America's largest cities was cast into darkness. Even Times Square went completely black.

And I don't know if you've seen a dark Times Square, but it is terrifying. I saw it and I felt like at any second a face was going to show up on the screens like, citizens of art, prepare to be probed. Like it was really, really creepy. Now for me, this blackout was double terrifying, okay? Because for the 4th of July, I went to California. And then while I was there, an earthquake hit. Okay? And then I was like, well, that was scary.

Then, a few days later, another earthquake hit. And one earthquake is bad enough. The second one feels like it's trying to finish thk, the, thoe, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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, they.a, thi, thi, thi, thi.a.ei. And, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.a. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And like one earthquake is bad enough. The second one feels like it's trying to finish you off. Yeah? I was just shaking like, I'm sorry, Mother Earth. I'll recycle more. So after that, I was like, you know what? I can't do this. I can't, like, I can't do earthquakes. I'm flying back to New York, and then the blackout hit. At that point, I was like, yeah, Trump must tell me to come to come to come to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go back to go back to go back to go back, to go back, to go back, to go back, I to go back, 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, 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 the the the the the the the the th. th. the. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. I'm, I'll go. And the worst part, the worst part was when the power went out. Mayor Bill DiBlazio wasn't here because he was off in Iowa campaigning to be president, which is a shame because we could have used him in New York, not as mayor, but just as like a lighthouse,

just to help us see everything. And you know what's great about New York? Even though the mayor wasn't there, everyday New York has stepped up to do their parts. After the sunset this evening, Manhattan's west side was just about pitch black. People and pets kept their flashlights. Close, businesses and apartments were in their their their their thea. Some deliys and restaurants were trying the time on their stoops, too hot to be in their apartments without AC. Stoplights at some busy intersections off,

leaving pedestrians to step in to direct traffic. Yeah, you see? That's what New Yorkers do, baby. They helped out during a crisis. Huh? Basically, New Yorkers were doing every policeman's job. They were directing traffic, they were checking in on old people. It was inspiring, except for the one person who probably try to take over a hostage negotiation,

who's like, don't worry everybody, I got this. All right, tough guy, shoot one of them to know you're serious. Come on, let's see. And it wasn't just the pedestrians stepping up, no. Even Broadway actors made the best out of the blackout. How do you handle things when the lights go out on Broadway? Well, the cast of several musicals took their act to the streets during Saturday nights blackout here in Manhattan. I am an Islander.

I am an Islander. See, you gotta love Broadway, man. Huh? You gotta love Broadway. The show must go on. Think about, that's real talent. Because the power also went out at the movie theaters, huh? At AMC. Yeah, but you can see John Wick come out of the screen and kick people's asses in real life.

No. But even a blackout couldn't stop Broadway. Everyone came out. The singers carried on their s on the sidewalk. The thespians thespianed outside, huh? And the cost of the Lion King brought their performance to life in the streets by mauling seven people to death. It was really inspiring. Plus, I will say we all got a new life hack,

all of us people who live in New York and people who visit. You can't afford tickets to a show like Hamilton, just cut the power. You get a show for free. Yeah. Everyone just comes outside. Now everywhere's the room where it happens. And thankfully, after three hours, the power came back on. But even though no one was hurt, this blackout might be a sign of something a lot more ominous. While investigators don't believe foul play was involved in Saturday, National Security experts say the blackout should serve as a wake-up call. National security experts are very concerned that this country's power grid is vulnerable to a cyber attack. Complex systems that have been put in place

and built upon over many years, they're going to be vulnerabilities. Our adversaries know what those vulnerabilities are and they will look to exploit them. That's right. This is another reminder that America's power grid is vulnerable. And we don't know if that's what caused this blackout, but it is a little suspicious that it was on the anniversary of the 1977 major blackout. Like maybe this was just a coincidence, a malfunction, or maybe a hostile foreign power was trying to hack America.

We'll never know. Yeah. And if they've done it once, they can do it again and again. So Russia, if you're listening, I'll be outside Hamilton next Thursday. You guys know what to do. We'll be right back. Welcome back. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a fashion icon who pioneered high end streetwear catering to gangsters, athletes and musicians. His new memoirs. to the day-to-da-da-dan, musicians, his new memoir is called Dapidan,

Made in Harlem. Please welcome, Dapadan. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to have you here because I remember the first time I heard your name was in a rap song. I remember rappers would rap about being laced up by dappodan. You know, people would talk about these threads from dappodan styled by dappodan.

It was an idea and it was a myth. And now when people see you see you todseaaeeaeaeae today tode tode tode tode tode their tode their tode their today today today their go, the suits, they see you dressing people at the Met Gala, they think, oh yeah, this man's a fashion designer, but you didn't start in the most normal place. You started making something out of nothing as a hustler. Yes, exactly. I started with nothing. I was born in crime.

I was born in crime. Wow, right. Yeah, and so I had to adjust to life. So I used the tools that was available to me. When I wanted to open up a store, nobody would sell to me. So I said, you know what? I'm gonna figure out how to do this myself. I'm gonna learn how to make fabric and do everything that the big the big the big big big big big big big big the big the big the big the big the big the big the big the big this myself. I'm going to learn how to make fabric and do everything that the big boys

do and do it better than they do it. You really, you really, you really did something that I don't think anybody thinks is possible. I don't think anyone has achieved in the same way that you've done it. For those who don't know, you know those like very fancy, Fendi, you know, outfits that you see you know these designer clothes where you see like all the labels everywhere on it like Louis Vuitton, Louis Vuitton, Louis Vuitton, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Fendi, Fendi, Fendi, Fendi, Fendi, Fendi, that was that was him. So a lot of people don't know this about Dapper Dan, but but you came along. high-end brands were creating. You made your own version of Gucci, your own version of Fendi, your own version of all of these brands, which became bigger than the brands for many black people. Yeah, you know what I did? I, I, what they

call me is the father of Logomania. I looked at the brand, I looked at the brand, I looked at the product, I say, wow, everybody's excited about the logos, the thinneu- th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi's thi's thi's thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thi's thi's thee thee thee thee thiol-a' thi, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's theeeeeea' theanananananannigha' thea' thea' thea' theanananann' thea'nighea'n'n is not making jackets. None of these guys are making jackets in outfits. I say, wow. Well, if they're excited with the bag, imagine if I can make them look like the luggage. Haute it. Haute it's a lot. theymeat.

You know, you know, I'm going to dress people in Gucci the way, I think they want to be dressed in Gucci, they want to be dressed in Fendi. And then the fashion houses came after you, they sued and shut you down, and then they went and stole the designs that you made for the people in the streets. That's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, like, I wasn't doing knockoffs, I did knockups. I made the brand better. Right. What did you think the first time you saw your designs on a runway? I wanted to run up and just snatch it off them and say, this is mine.

You know, but social media wasn't out when I first saw that the big brands was doing it. You know, I say, wow, look at this. The only thing I thought would ever happen is that one day somebody would figure out, well, that came from Dapidam, but the day came sooner than I thought. The day did come sooner than you thought, because what's interesting is, and I didn't know this from, you know, I learned this from this from this from this from this from this from this from th from thi from thi.. You initially started off helping rappers out. Because when you gave rappers clothing, rap wasn't big. It sure wasn't, because they still owe me money. And I talk about it in the book. And so you dressed everybody from L.L.Cool J. and you dressed salt and pepper, that

infamous look, that was all you. And that became, yeah, that became look that was all you and and that became yeah That became the style. Yeah, you know and then the rappers turn around and they made Dappadanna name when they became big which was a beautiful circle of life there. Yes It sure is you know what I think the most exciting person that come through who even rose above the rappers was Mike Tyson and that was the big thing. When Mike Tyson came in there and they had the big fight with Mitch Green inside my store and outside my store, they said, the brand said, well,

what the heck is the Dapadan? And then the whole world has caved in. The whole world has caved in. You have now gotten to a place where you're no longer seen as an outsider, but rather a trendsetter. You work with these fashion houses. They've teamed up with you. For instance, you work with Gucci now, where they've said, Dabadam, we want to create with you. In fact, you were part of the conversation when Gucci had that incident

where they came out with those designs where people, there was backlash on social media. you team up with them? Why did you why did you why did you work with Gucci and many of you know I did a lot of research even before I got into the partnership and I researched like Alexandra the lead designer and I researched Marco the CEO and I know these men were genuine so I said what happened I said well you know if you shoot a guy by accident you shoot him on purpose he's he's dead right so I to tell him you have to come to come to to come the h a the h a the h. the h. the h. the the the the the to to to to the the to to to to to to to the 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 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. I I I was I was. they. they. I they. I they. they. I they. they. I they. I they., you have to come to Harlem and we got to fix this. You got to explain to people what they did and they came. You know, so now we have the change maker program whereby Gucci's going to be putting money into different programs.

We're going to have inclusivity. We got vice presidents now and the proclamation. And so it's a big program, it's a change, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's a change, it's a change, it's a change, it's a change, it's a change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, and the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change, the change,, it's the change makers program, so we're going to make a change. And actually, what we're starting here with Gucci, we need to move that on to other brands. Because that was a big thing people complained about. They said, the reason brands keep making these mistakes is because they have no people of color working on their stuff. And you came in and said, Gucci, we need to take that change to every brand. Right. What do you think you want to see change in the future in fashion, now that Dapadant has a name and clouts? What I really would like to see is that, you know, culture is what moves fashion.

And, you know, this hip-hop culture went global. Right. So if the culture can go global, why can't the representatives of the culture, why can can't their their their their their their then then then then then then then then then then then then tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha go global as well. So that's what I advocate for. I advocate for more people who make a contribution to the culture that enables these brands to make money to be inclusive today. Right. Make that money, man. It's an exciting book. An amazing laugh. Thank you so much for being on the show.
