Frazier, new season streaming September 19th on Paramount Plus. May 23, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York, this is the daily show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you so much for coming out. Welcome to it. Welcome to it. I'm Trevor Noah, our guest tonight is a former Daily Show, he's now wrapping up. Season 2 of his hit HBO show, Wyatt Seneca's
Starting point is 00:02:20 joining us everybody! Also on tonight's show, Will Ben Carson lose his job? The Queen of England goes shopping and Donald Trump wants us to know he's totally cool. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's begin in Not So Great Britain. Today it was reported that Prime Minister Theresa May is planning to resign over her failure to negotiate a Brexit deal. And since the chaos of Brexit could collapse Britain's economy, British people are preparing for the worst. Stockpiling food, going to supermarkets and getting whatever they want and can, which means supermarkets are seeing
Starting point is 00:03:00 some unlikely shoppers. A British supermarket received a royal visit. Queen Elizabeth stopped by a pop-up grocery store in England. The visit included a stop at the self-service checkout area. The 93-year-old monarch was intrigued with the technology. She asked staffers whether customers could cheat the system and leave without pain. Oh man, that is so briceless. Even the Queen's first reaction to self-check out is, wait, so I can just steal this shit? Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:03:32 Actually, I would love to see the Queen steal groceries, right? No, because only the Queen can steal for the country. Yeah, she could just be like, I claim these cheetos for Britain. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, these feed the Queen. And by the way, not to rub it in, not to rub it in, but this really shows how far Britain has fallen, right?
Starting point is 00:03:56 I mean, the Queen started her reign with trips to the corners of her empire, and now it's th it it's th it's the th it's thi it's thi it's thi it's thi it's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, 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. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, toe, toe? toe? toee. toee. toeea. toeea. toeee. thea. the. the. the. the with trips to the grocery store. Yeah, by the time William is king, he's going to be making royal visits to the end of his driveway. Just everything the light touches is my kingdom up to this mailbox. That's where it is. Moving on, I've got some bad news for men. Another trick in upholing the patriarchy has been exposed. There's a shift in the debate the debate the debate the debate the debate the debate the debate the debate the debate the debate the debate in the debate the debate in the debate the debate the debate the debate in the debate in the debate the debate in the debate in the debate in the debate in the debate the debate. the debate. the debate. the debate in the the the debate. the the the the the the the patriarchy has been exposed. There's a shift in the debate over the right temperature for office thermostats. We know most women like it warmer and most men want it colder.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Yes. Turns out that there is science to back it up. A new study indicates men's brains work better when it's colder and women do better when it's warm. Yes, yes, it turns out. One of the reasons men and women fights about temperature in the office is because it affects our brains in different ways. Yeah, when it's hot, women's brains work better because they're not losing energy shivering.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And then when it's cold, men's brains work better because our penis shuts down. Yeah. Yeah, we just just calm down. When it's hot, the penis is like, what we do, what we do, what we do? And then it gets cold, penis like, I'm out, mrs. But I do understand, this is a tough situation, right? Because men need cold air, but then women need warm air. We all work in the same place, so we've got to compromise. This is what I think. One week, the office temperature should be set to cold, and then women can wear a sweater,
Starting point is 00:05:28 and then the next week, you just set the temperature super high and men can wear a business speedo. It'll work for everyone. Yeah. It's actually funny, because in South Africa we have a similar issue, but it's slightly different, right. That's more. That's, right, that's, that's, that's more, that's more, thiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their, their their their, and their their, and their their, and their their their their, and their their their, and then their their, their their their, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi. Wea. Wea. We're theeateateateateateateateathea. theateateateateathea. theateateate, their their their the thermostat was too cold and white people thought that black people were inferior. All right, finally, you guys didn't see that coming, did you? And finally, here's a story out of Connecticut that makes me think we have finally reached peak millennial. A man wanted in Connecticut for a failure to appear in court reached an unusual deal with police. His name is Jose Sims. Told police he'd turn himself in only if his wanted poster gets 15,000 likes on the
Starting point is 00:06:13 department's Facebook page. Police say 29-year-old Jose Sims sent a private message to the Torrington Police department offering to turn himself in if his wanted poster got 20,000 likes. Police negotiated him down to 15,000. Seriously, people? Is this the future of police negotiations? This is going to be having like hostage situations where the cops like, release the hostages. We're like, not until you like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Okay, we can like your page, but we can't subscribe.
Starting point is 00:06:51 We just don't have the resources. And I know Facebook likes as part of the criminal justice system seems ridiculous. Seems crazy. You're like likes for criminals, but when you think about it, this isn't anything new. I mean, technically, a jury is just just 12 thi 12 thi 12 thi 12 thi 12 thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to toe. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the the the. the the t. tooooooooooooooo. toe. toa. toe. toe. toe. to. to. think about it, this isn't anything new. I mean, technically, a jury is just 12 people you're trying to get likes from. That's it. I didn't kill him, like, like. But regardless, regardless, this is just a stupid way
Starting point is 00:07:14 to try and get famous. If you're a criminal who wants to go viral, forget about Facebook. Forget the thii. Those don't make you big. You don't need to go on social media, right? If you want to get famous, just abduct a child. Yeah. No, think about it. Not everyone checks Facebook, but everyone gets an Amber alert. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:31 And that's Trevor Noah's advice of the day. All right. That's it for the headlines. Let's the told it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. As we all know, a big part of Trump's presidency has been his beefs. He beefs with foreign leaders, he beefs with pawnstars, he even beefs with Siri. Sorry, Donald, I didn't get that. You never get me, Siri. You're just like the rest of that.
Starting point is 00:07:59 So who's the president beefing with now? Well let's find out in another installment of Donald J. Trump, Commander, in beef. I'm gonna hit them back, and am I giving him a whack and think I could take this guy in the fight? I'd like to punch him in the face. Yesterday President Trump had a meeting with Democratic leaders, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. the meeting was supposed to be about rebuilding America's infrastructure. You know, roads, tunnels, airports, etc. But instead of building bridges in this meeting, Trump decided to burn them down.
Starting point is 00:08:34 After walking in, not shaking a single hand, not even sitting down, President Trump lashed out of the Democratic leaders, before marching out. That contentious cabinet room meeting lasted just three minutes. So I came here to do a meeting on infrastructure with Democrats. All of a sudden I hear last night they're going to have a meeting right before this meeting to talk about the I word. The I word. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:09:01 Instead of walking in happily into a meeting, I walk in to look at people that I just said that I was doing a cover-up. I don't do cover-ups. I don't do cover-ups. I don't do pull-ups. I don't do push-ups. I don't do push-ups. I don't do sit-ups. No ups. Only downs. Shutdowns. Meltdowns. And most important,, meltdowns and most important let downs. Sorry Eric, I can't come to your birthday. You won't be seeing me there. I'm not coming, Eric. But dad, you don't even know when my birthday is. Doesn't matter, I just know I'm busy that day.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Now, there were no cameras rolling in the meeting. So the only information we have is what people have said and by the sounds of it it was tense. Democrats say they were stunned and Pelosi in a letter to House Democrats called it a temper tantrum. To watch what happened in the White House would make your jaw drop. In any event I pray for the president of the United States and I pray for the president of the United States, and I pray for the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Ooh, I pray for the president? I feel like Nancy Pelosi's been spending a bunch of time with Maxine Waters, because now every time she patronizes Trump, have you noticed, she seems more and more like a black auntie? Have you felt that vibe? Yeah, because first she gave Trump the sideways clap, mm-hmm, yeah? And now she's praying for him, that's the blackest thing ever, just like, Lord, this crazy man needs Jesus. He needs Jesus. Need Jesus. At the next state of the Union, Nancy's is going to be fanning herself like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. So according to Chuck and Nancy, Trump came into that meeting,
Starting point is 00:10:48 completely acted the fool. But according to Trump's very calm Twitter rant this morning, he was very chilled for the whole three minutes, and then when he stormed out, it was in a relaxed and graceful fashion. Now, obviously, most people didn't believe Trump, right. So todayay he interrupted a press conference with farmers to basically ask his very objective employees to tell us all how Zen he is. She said I walked into the room right next door yesterday and walked
Starting point is 00:11:16 in and started screaming and yelling just the opposite. I walked out I was so calm. Where is Sarah, Kelly Ann? Where are you? Come here a minute. You were in that room. Kelly, what was my temperament yesterday? Very calm, no temper can't. Mercedes. What was my attitude when I walked in? Did I have a scream? So, you were very calm and you were very direct. Sarah, we're just talking about the meeting yesterday. You were there. What was my tone yesterday at the meeting? I that you were there. What was my tone yesterday at the meeting? I'm very calm and straightforward.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Man, you know what, say what you want about Trump, but he is truly the king of political theater, right? No, because I love how he makes it seem like the questions weren't pre-planned. He's just like, oh, Sarah, fancy seeing you here, yeah? While I have you, how do you think I was in the meeting yesterday? Yeah? It's so planned. And people are part of it. You know, this is the kind of shit
Starting point is 00:12:10 that you'll see in Africa all the time. Like, some dictator will be accused of war crimes, and then he'll bring his own soldiers out as his defense. You know, be like, Jimbo, the United Nations are said I I I I I I I said, I said, the United the United the United that, I said, the United the United the United that, I said, I said, the United the United the United the United the villagers. Is this true? Be like, no sir, you are always kind and very sweet. Yes, indeed. And Toto, have you seen me beat anybody? No, commander, you could not even beat a fly. Huh?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Whoa, whoa, whoa, what do you mean I could not beat a fly? Are you saying I'm weak? I will beat you like I beat those feel like that? So, so the Democrats, the Democrats say that Trump acted crazy. But Trump says that he's super chill. And I'll be honest with you, as long as this cloud of impeachment continues to hang over the president, this beef is going to continue and it's going to continue to derail infrastructure and any other issue that needs bipartisan support. So Nancy, I hope you've prepared your Sunday best because you're going to be praying for
Starting point is 00:13:12 a long ass time. We'll be right back. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Starting point is 00:14:31 No, stay on task. And he's more Frazier than ever. How do I look? Rich. Tell us what I was going to go. Oh my god, they traded they. I only think we would trade John for white Zinfandel, or any wine. Frazier, new season streaming September 19th on Paramount Plus. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Let's talk about Ben Carson, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and willing resident of the sunken place. The man has had quite a journey, from growing up as a poor child in Detroit, to becoming a world-renowned brain surgeon. You know, he went from being a presidential candidate to the breakout star of the movie's Utopia. Fun fact, they actually had to speed him up to play the sloth. But since our sleepy friend was put in charge of America's housing and urban development, he's kind of dropped off the radar. That is until this week, when he struggled to answer a very simple question.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Ben Carson has been accused of being not qualified to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He didn't help his cause. He confused a real estate term with a cookie. I'd also like you to get back to me if you don't mind to explain the disparity in REO rates. Do you know what an REO is? An Oreo? An REO? R E-O. R-E-O. What's the O stand for?
Starting point is 00:16:01 E organization? Owned? Real estate owned. That's what happens when a property goes to foreclosure. We call it an th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the it an the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. the toe toe. toe. toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I toe. I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the th. th. the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the theo thea toeo. thea toea toe toe to to to to the to the to to The organization? Owned. Real estate owned. That's what happens when a property goes to foreclosure. We call it an REO. Okay. Okay, that was bad. It was bad. It really was bad. And you know what, I think it doesn't help that Ben Carson speaks the way that that he does, you know?
Starting point is 00:16:17 Because he always sounds to pass out. You know what I mean? Like that's him, like he's just like sitting there the whole time and he's just like, and he's like, uh, I can't believe you shut me with a traculazer dot in my neck area with a traqilazer dot. In my neck. neck area with god damn why isn't this working why isn't he going down you cannot tranquilize that which is already tranquil no Now here's the thing on its own this would have just been a slip up he doesn't know an abbreviation,ation. But this Oreo moment just added to the perception that Carson doesn't know how to do his job.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Since he was appointed, there's been an increase in families living in squalorla in subsidized housing, right? Over 1,000 HUD properties have failing grades, and he's delayed an anti-segregation initiative. Like he's so bad for housing, even tornadoes are like, yo, do pace yourself, what's wrong with you? So this week's slip up didn't help, which is why Ben Carson went on Fox News to do some damage control. I would like to remind our viewers who may not know that Ben Carson was, before he went into politics, one of, if not the best brain surgeon in the world, and they were talking down to him to him to him to him to him to him to him to him to him to him to him.. to to to to to to to to the to to to the to to their. their. to their. to to to to be. to be. toe. toe. their. toe. toe. toe. toe, toe, tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. too, too, too, too, too, too, toe......... So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. toe. And, toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. And, toe. And, toe. And, toe. And, toe. And, toe. And they were talking down to him. Ben Carson himself is with us now. Would you respond to all of this, please, sir?
Starting point is 00:17:50 Uh, yes, it was, first of all, it was, uh, it was three and a half hours of testimony. Oh, man. Come on, Dr. Carson. Like, Vani's introducing him, like, how dare they talk down to the most brilliant mind the world has ever seen?
Starting point is 00:18:10 Secretary Carson, show them what a genius you are. And he's like, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, whip, uh, what, bib-bib-bibbib-bibb-bibb-bbbbbbibb. But I will give costs and credits. He showed us this at the debates, and he showed it again yesterday. He might not have known what REOs were at the hearing on Tuesday, but by Wednesday, this guy was a certified oreologist. Of course, I'm very familiar with foreclosed properties and with AREOs, have read extensively about them.
Starting point is 00:18:44 And the AREO portfolio, just over the last 10 years, has dramatically decreased by 10-fold. You know, 65,000 out of the 6,500. Someone's been brushing up. Yeah. One day he didn't know it. The next thing knows everything. I bet after that hearing, Kossum was up all night with these books like Rocky, just singing by himself, like, da da da da da, da, da, they're gonna know me, da, da. So, now Ben Carson is back on everyone's radar, but he's not back in a good way.
Starting point is 00:19:19 The question is, could this lead to him getting fired? Well for more on this, we turn to someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone to someone to someone to someone to someone to someone to someone to someone to someone to someone to someone to someone to him getting fired? Well, for more on this, we turn to someone who has been fired many times. Ducey Sloan, everyone! Now, I just want to say I've never been fired. I left Value City before they knew I was gone. Oh, Dulce, I'm not attacking you personally. I'm just saying, you know what it's like out there in the real world. Like, what do you think will happen to Ben Carson? Oh yeah. He about to get fired. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Why, it looks like that, because he doesn't know what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:19:54 No, because he doesn't look like he knows what he's doing. It doesn't matter if you can do your job. It matters if you look like you can do your job. You know how many jobs I've kept because I was bad at them? Most of them. But I knew how to fake it. Like when I was a lifeguard? Anytime somebody started drowning, I just blew my whistle. I mean they still drowned but it sounded like I say it. And you can use this technique in your office. If someone asked you for a report that you didn't do, you just say, oh yeah, Karen's doing that. Every office has a Karen. And if your boss finds out you're lying, you just say, mmm, you're perceptive as hell.
Starting point is 00:20:41 That's why you're the boss. Okay, I don't know how effective any of this advice would be. Thank you. No, I don't... Thank you. I don't even know if that would help Carson because he's in trouble here. There seems to be bipartisan agreement that he is bad at his job. Like if he's incompetent, shouldn't he just be fired? If he's incompetent, then he fits in perfectly. How does that make him any different than the other cabinet members?
Starting point is 00:21:11 I mean, Bethy Dvoss is in charge of education and her only qualification is a PhD in dumb blank stairs. Okay, yeah, but I get that, but let's focus on Carson. When you looked at Ben Carson's HUD agenda, for instance, like the stats that I asked you to compile, what did you see? Oh, you know, Trevor, I was going to look at the numbers, but Karen said she wanted to do it. Karen said she wanted to do it. We don't, no, no, we don't have a Karen. See? Oh, should you lie to do it. We don't, no no we don't, we don't have a Karen. See?
Starting point is 00:21:46 Oh, shit, you're lying to me. And see, that's why you're the boss. You're perceptive as hell. I am perceptive. I am perceptive. Give it up with Dulce Sloan everybody. Super perceptive. I wanted to remind you, you can catch Dulce tomorrow on the new Comedy Central show, The New Negroes. It's gonna be with Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Fridays at 11 p.m. Dulce Sloan, everybody. We'll be right back. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a former Daily Show correspondent, comedian and writer, whose HBO series now in second season, in its second season is called Wyatt Sinac's Problem Areas. Please welcome, Wyatt Sanac! Welcome to the show my friend.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Thank you very. And welcome back to the daily show but to the show? Yeah, this is a totally different show. Yeah, it was like a new word. Is it weird for you? Because I've like changed everything in the bill? Is it weird? Do you like not know where you're going and stuff? It is very strange. It's, yeah, nothing looks familiar at all. You really did like a gut renovation in this place. And like you, it was like you bought a Brooklyn Brownstone and you were like, all right,
Starting point is 00:23:18 I'm going to gentrify the shit out of this. Oh man, it's great, it's, it's, it's, it's, th. th. th. th. th. 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. thin, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. this. Oh man, it's great to have you back in the structure, at least. Welcome back to the structure. And congratulations on the second season of your show. You know, a lot of people loved you on Daily Show because they were like, oh, why it gets out there into the streets and he tackles a subject. But that was for like five minutes, three minutes at a time. Your show really stretches out a subject. You th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th at th. to to to th. th at th at th at their th at th at that that thate to thate. thate at their thate at toe at toe at toe at toe. toe at toe at toe at a time. Your show really stretches out a subject. You take your time with it.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Why do you do it that way? I mean like, John Oliver does it over a week, I'll do it in a day, you do it over a season. Why does it take that long? I mean, one, because I talk real slow. So that's part of it. to spend a season on something was really interesting because, you know, with the Daily Show, we would do a story and then we're, you know, we were sort of at the mercy of the news cycle. Right, right, right. And so it felt like, okay, yeah, if you wanted to do an interesting story about education, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh wait a minute, Donald Trump just took a shit on somebody's Mustang. We got to talk about that. And it's like-
Starting point is 00:24:25 I remember that day. Yeah, no. It's really weird that he did that, but also that we weren't more outraged. I think we were tired that day, my friend. We were tired. Yeah, I would love if that's somehow, if people were like yeah I did like he's like he just won't deny anything Biggest dump ever. But yeah you you really go into a topic like for instance season one I truly loved because you went into policing and I remember like you you tackle every single piece of policing you know it wasn't It wasn't just a simple subject it was like from the police police's perspective, it was from, you know, like the criminals' perspective
Starting point is 00:25:07 even from kids who were in juvenile detention, etc. And that became the jumping off point for education, which is season two. Right. How do you jump from policing to education? I mean, I think so much of, you know, when you think about policing, so much of our approach to policing is that all of the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal the societal of our approach to policing is that all of the societal cracks that exist, then it's like, well, just send the cops at them. And so when you think about, well, what's the foundation that could set people up in a better way, that could, you know, have impacts on people's ability to get jobs, on crime.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Education is one of those things. If you give everyone access to quality education, we have enough data to say, oh, crime statistics go down, team pregnancies go down. Like, there's so many things that are impacted by that. And so it felt like, oh, OK, let's look at education because it really is this building block. And if a kid gets pushed out of high school at the age of 14 they are at a much higher
Starting point is 00:26:10 probability of finding themselves headed off to a prison and so it feels like oh yeah let's look at education because that may be a way if you can get people to like buy into right we need equitable education for everybody that may be thank you it's always fun when they clap like that as though I can like sign that in the law you're enough of you clapped and yes now it's happening you wake up tom, the everyone's gonna have an equitable education. No, I can't do that. Stop it, no, it's not how it happens.
Starting point is 00:26:55 It's by voting and going to school board meetings. The, uh, the, one of the most intriguing parts of the season that I watched was Seeing how you were talking about education and the way we approach it in the world But but specifically in America and how you said you feel like it's ignored the way it is Predominantly because most teachers are women. It was an interesting Interesting, you know, journey to be on where you go like people are just like oh the teachers want more money again would you know it's like these women want more money but it really did start to feel like oh no if this were a male dominated field there would be a different approach to that like when you're working through the season and you're discovering these pieces like
Starting point is 00:27:36 is there a way to change it I show trying to give people a solution or is you just trying to highlight it so that people know how they vote and what to do? I mean, I think it's a little of both. I think on the one hand, you do want to highlight these things. And yeah, when you think about something like the teaching profession and how it is a majority female profession, all of these conversations right now about gender dynamics and about, you know, equal pay and sexual harassment and all these things, we're talking about women's civil rights. It does raise a question for me, well, is the teaching profession, is should that be part of that conversation about women's civil
Starting point is 00:28:19 rights? And so some of it is trying to have those conversations and some of it is also looking at, well, there are people who are on the ground, th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th have those conversations, and some of it is also looking at, well, there are people who are on the ground who are trying to make change, and what does that change look like, and is that change replicable? Is there something that somebody has done, you know, our first season, we looked at policing,
Starting point is 00:28:40 and we looked at things like restorative justice, and looking at something like, the the their their their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, their, their, their, their, their, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, and, tho, and, and, and, th, and, and, and, and, th, and, and, and, th, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, and, the, and, the, the, theat, thean, thean, thean, is, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thereean, thean, thean, and, and like restorative justice, and looking at something like restorative justice and wondering, okay, it's working in Oakland. They've got the DA on board with it. They are working with it with law enforcement. Is that a model that could then expand to Los Angeles, could expand to Topeka, Kansas? Could it expand? And is that how we can have different
Starting point is 00:29:06 conversations about something like the criminal justice system or education by showing people that models do exist and now maybe you could take that model and build off of it and you know it's like this old house like once you see somebody build a banister you're like oh maybe I could do that and that's why I have Wyatt Sinex banister store on Etsy.
