Also on tonight's show, Biden and Trump go head to head. You can now Uber in the sky and the U.S. women's soccer team is under fire for being too good. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with some international news. You may remember last year, French President Emmanuel McCallon and President Trump were

besties. They attended events together, they shared secret handshakes, and Macron even gave Trump a friendship tree, right, as a symbol of how their friendship would grow and prosper for many years to come. Well, a year later, the relationship has souredred and get this, the tree died. But Macron being French refuses to give up on love. President Trump is set to receive a new friendship tree from French President Emmanuel Macron. Macron promised to send the new oak tree after the tree he gave him during last year's state visit,

died. He says the death of the tree does not symbolize the topsy-turvy relationship between the two countries. Uh-uh-uh, Macron. You said that tree was a metaphor. So then it's a metaphor. Yeah. You can't now say the the tree. the tree. the tree. the tree. the tree. the tree. tha. tha. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree's tree's tree's tree's tree is just tree is just tree is just the tree was tree is just tree is just tree was tree was tree was tree was. the tree was. tree is. tree is tree. the tree. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree. tree is not tree is not tree is not tree is not tree is not tree. tree. tree. tree is not. tree is not. tree is not. tree is not. tree is not. tree is not tree is not tree is not tree. tree. tree. That's not how symbols work. Okay? It's like in grade school when you and your best friend get friendship bracelets, yeah? And then 10 years later he's not wearing it because he got married and his wife thinks it's weird. Yeah, you know what's weird, Kevin?

You deserting your best friend! And yeah, it is a little sad that the friendship tree died, but at the same time it did last longer than most people do in Trump's White house. so so so so so so so so. so th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. thi's thi's 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's White House, so that's impressive. Huh? Yeah, give it up with that tree. I bet this time Macron's going to give Trump better and instructions on how to keep the tree alive. He's going to be like, okay, this time, Donald, you must use water, not diet coke, okay? And the real sunlight, the tannin bed is not enough, all right? Trump's like, I was so good to that tree. It ate exactly what I eat. Three cheeseburgers a day. Please, Donald, if you don't look after the tree and care for it, it will die.

He's like, that's what they said about Eric, but it didn't work. He's still here. Also, why is McCrong giving trree? You know it's just gonna die again? He should give Trump something simple, something easy to take care of, like a friendship rock. Although knowing Trump, I wouldn't be shocked if he found a way to kill that too. Yeah, just come out like, I don't know what happened, I came outside and it was dust.

In other news, as the debate over abortion rights rages on in America, things have gotten a little testy on Capitol Hill. It is tiring to hear from so many sex-starved males on this floor talk about a woman's right to choose. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to ask my friend if she's right to choose. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to ask my friend if she'd like to change her last statement. If it pleases my colleague on the other side, I will withdraw my statement about sex-starved males on the floor. God damn. All right, that was gangster. That was really gangster. Because those guys are so mad, but they don't know what to do. Mr. Speaker, let the record show that I smash. I smash.

I actually feel bad for those guys because it's a trap, right? You don't know what to do. If you don't get mad, it looks like she's telling the truth about your sex life, but if you get mad, it looks like she thia thia thia thi, it looks like thi, it looks like thi, it looks like thi, it looks like thi, it looks like thi, it looks like thi, it looks like thi, it's like thi, it's like thi, it's like thi, thi, thi, thi, it's like thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo'''''a, too'a, thi, thi, th life, but if you get mad it looks like she hit a sore spot like what do you do? Although it would be funny if this whole thing ended up with Republican congressman testifying about how much sex they have. I'm just waiting for Mitch McConnell to come out on C-SPAN like, oh no real talk pimps are I bust a nut in the morning and for good measure I bust a nut at night too. And finally in tech news the future the future the finally, in tech news, the future of ride-sharing has arrived. Uber is taking its ride-sharing service to new highs with Uber Air. On Tuesday, the company unveiled its first electric passenger aircraft prototype,

a helicopter plane hybrid that can take off and land from a pad and fly 150 miles per hour. Wow. Uber is taking it to the next level. And you know what? This makes sense. Because whenever I'm in an Uber, the driver's swerving around through traffic, yelling at other cars while he's talking on his phone.

I'm always thinking to myself, man, I wish we could do this 10,000 feet in the sky. I also don't see how flying cars will the thaws thaws thaws thaws will will will will will will will will will will will will will will the th flying cars will will the th flying th flying th flying the th flying th flying th flying thu thu the thu the the the the the the the the Pool. Are the drivers just going to be like, this is your stop! Ah! I guess on the bright side, Uber Air will have a much simpler rating system, right? It's either five stars or you're dead. That's it. But you know what? But you know what? But you know what?

But you know what? But you know what? thi. It's actually already been really successful. In fact, here's a video of Uber picking up their very first air customer. Yeah, that looks like fun. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. Donald Trump, this has been a wild week for the Trump presidency, making it the 124th Wild Presidency week in a row. It started a few days ago when Trump averted a crisis of his own making by deciding not

to impose tariffs on Mexico because he said he made a deal. However, critics pointed out that many of the things that Mexico promised to do to stop illegal immigration were the same promises that they had made months before. But then Trump came back saying that he had a secret deal with Mexico, which no one believed. So yesterday he did this. Do you have an agreement with Mexico to become a safe third country for asylum secrets? Sell it? That's the agreement that everybody says th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is the the the the the the the the the they the they the they the the the the the the the the the he said the- he said he said he said he said the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the they they they they said they said they said they said they said they said they said they said they said they said they said they said they said the. the. the. He said he the the the the he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said he said thean. He said thean. He said thean. He said th country for asylum secrets. That's the agreement that everybody says I don't have.

So, no, because I'm going to let Mexico do the announcement at the right time. From Mexico, they want to go through, but here's the agreement. It's a very simple agreement. Okay, okay. There are two possibilities here. And neither of them are good. Okay, okay. There are two possibilities here, and neither of them are good. Either the president just whipped out a takeout menu and claimed it's a secret agreement with Mexico, which it could be,

or it's a real agreement, and the president is just walking around with secret documents in his pocket. Like, the same guy who was worried about Hillary's server getting hacked by Russians, meanwhile he could get hacked by a gust of wind. Or even worse, a pigeon could just be like, and here it is, the secret document that, ah, stop that pigeon, it's headed to the Kremlin. Like, keeping important documents in your jacket pocket is so risky because everyone forgets things in that pocket.

We've all done it. Like one day Trump's dry cleaner is going to phone the White House like, hey, Mr. Trump, you left the nuclear colds in your jacket again. And there's a lollipop in there too. Oh, thank God, my lollipop. So that was President Trump showing thiiiiiiiiiii, that was President that. So that was President Trump showing off his secret agreement letter that he got from Mexico. And I guess yesterday was Mail Day

because a few minutes later in the press conference, he was telling us about another letter he was even more proud of. For the first time since the failed Hanoi Summit, Kim Jong-un sent the president a letter yesterday. Mr. Trump downplaying concerns about Kim's recent missile tests. He's kept his word. There's no nuclear testing. There's no large, you know, long-range missiles going up. So I see that and I just received a beautiful letter from Kim Jong-un and I think the relationship is very well, but I appreciated the letter. Someday you'll see what was in that letter. Someday you'll be reading about it, maybe in a hundred years from now, maybe in two weeks, who knows.

But it was a very nice letter. It was a very warm, very nice letter. I appreciated it. What? Maybe a hundred years from now, maybe two weeks? The only other time you hear a time that big is when you order a couch online. It's like, yeah, I guess I'll be arriving now or never. But that's pretty incredible. Right. Trump is willing to support Kim Jong-un because the North Korean dictator sends him sweet notes. You know, if Kim Jong-un is smart, he would launch a missile at the United States and then just send Trump a letter at the exact same time to keep him distracted. Yeah, an aide would run into the office like, Mr. Trump, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, to, thine, thine, to, thine, thine, thine, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, thr-a, thr-in, thr-in, throngi, th, th, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, th. Trump, thi, thr-in, thr-in, thr-in, thr-a. Trump, thr-a. Trump, that's that's thr-a'''eeean, that's thr-a'eeeean, thr-in, thr-a'- into the office like, Mr. Trump, Kim Jong-un has just fired.

Fired off a beautiful letter to me, I know. It's gorgeous. No, sir. This could devastate, devastate Melania. We won't tell her, don't worry. No, sir, people are dying. Dying to know what's in it. But I can't tell them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them it's their their their their their their their their their their their their their. It's their their. It's a their. It's a their. It's a their. It's a their. It's their their their their their their. It's their. It's their. It's their their their their their their their their their their their. It's a their. It's a their. It's a their. It's a their. It's a their. It's a their. told. told. told. to too. too. te. te. to te. to too. to to to to to to to to to to to to to, how did it get back from the Kremlin so fast? So, Donald Trump has become good friends with Mexico,

and he's BFF with little Kim. But there's one feud, the president is not willing to end. And it's with America's greatest enemy, Sleepy Joe. Well, I heard Biden, who's a loser. I mean, look, Joe never got more than 1% except Obama took him off the trash sheep and now it looks like he's failing. He looks different than he used to. He acts different than he used to. He's even slower than he used to be. I'd rather run against, I think Biden than anybody. I think he's the weakest mentally.

I think Joe is the weakest mentally. And I like running against people that are weak mentally. I think Joe is the weakest up here. Really, Donald? You want to compete with a mentally weak loser? Well, then maybe you should hold a debate with a mirror. Now, it's no coincidence that Trump is going after the former VP. Ever since the polls came out showing Biden beating Trump all over the country, Trump has aimed all of his attacks directly at his number one threat. And Joe Biden is loving it because it's setting him up as the presumptive nominee, which

is why yesterday in Iowa, he delivered a 40-minute speech that was all about Trump. I don't think the president really gets the basics. He thinks these tariffs are being paid by China, just like you think Mexico is bill on the wall. He thinks windmills cause cancer. Now look, you think I'm making this up, I know. Quote, I have complete power.

No, you don't, Donald Trump. Or only I can fix it. Fix yourself first, Donald Trump. Okay, that was weird. I feel like Joe Biden turned black by the end of that speech. Only I can fix it. No, fix yourself, Donald Trump. Mike Pence, you better come get your man. We'll be right back. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

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. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they they obsess me. The election, 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 Daily Show. In the past few years, there's been a lot of talk about America losing its standing in the world.

Economically, diplomatically, grammatically. But yesterday, the US show there's at least one place. They can still kick ass. It was a day of record-setting domination on the world stage for the US women. As the Women's World Cup kicks off in France, the U.S. women's soccer team is showing no mercy and making history. Two-nothing, nothing, it's three-nothing, four-nothing, six-nothing, go. The defending champions posting the tournament's largest margin of victory ever, shutting out Thailand,

Thailand 13 to nothing. The defending champions posting the tournament's largest margin of victory ever, shutting out Thailand 13 to nothing. Wow! 13 to nothing. That's not a soccer score. America basically won by a touchdown, a field goal and a three point combined. Like they were dominating so hard. This was their goalie during the game. And it's crazy because if you've watched soccer in the world, you're like, this, three pointer combined. Like they were dominating so hard, this was their goalie during the game. And it's crazy, because if you are soccer in the world, you're like, this is madness.

Americans were like, this is how soccer should be! I do feel a little bad though, right? Because this is the worst thing to ever happen to a Thai soccer team. And yes, I'm including the one that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their their their their their. Wewoer. their. their. their so sou. their sou. their their their their thooooooooo'er. their that got stuck in the cave. Yeah, because at least the cave wasn't celebrating in front of them. You guys are stuck in me! So this was a historic win for the US women's soccer team. But some people say it might have been a little too much winning. A lot of controversy or however how the women of T. the record breaking win over Thailand.

Critics say the team showed poor sportsmanship by continuing to score then celebrate. Some calling Team USA's behavior embarrassing, overboard and disrespectful. That target that they already had on their back as defending champions, that just got a whole lot bigger. They have now painted themselves as villains and as bullies. Okay, I get what people are saying, right? They're saying that the US beat this team so hard, they should have been more sensitive, not celebrating every single goal. I mean, at the same time, sometimes taking pity can be worse than celebrating. You know, it's patronizing.

Like, imagine you're in a rap battle and you're losing, and then the other MC's like, and another thing. Wait, wait, wait, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So, th. So, th. And, th. And, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, the. And, the the the the th. And, the th. And, t. And, t to. And, to. And, to. to. to. to. toe. toda. toda. toda. t today. And, today if you need, do you want to hug? Do you want to hug? So the big question is, has this tarnished the reputation of U.S. women's soccer? Well, for more on this, we're joined by someone who's embarrassed America many times while overseas. Desi Lydic everybody! thee, thee throwns. People are saying the U.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S. thiheliphinea. thiahehea. Thea. Thea. thi.S. Thea. Thea. Thea. Thea. Thea. Thea. Thea. Does thii. Does thi. Does thi. Does thi. thi. Does thi. Thea. Thea. Thea. Theeeeeeeeeeeeeee. S. S. S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.s.s.s.s.s.s. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. team was unsportsman-like. Do you agree? No, no, they were not being unsportsman like, Trevor. They were being American. Our slogan is America, fuck yeah.

Right? Not America. Oh, sorry we won. We're the country that won a war 200 years ago, and we're still shooting off fireworks to rub it in Britain's face. So you're saying it's not arrogance. That's just how America rolls. Exactly. It's how we roll on the battlefield. It's how we roll on the soccer field.

It's how we roll at her daughter's recital. It's how we roll at win a piano recital. No, you do if all the other parents' cars get their tire slashed. And suddenly, orchestra night becomes Tiffany Knight. I love you, sweetie. You made Beethoven your bitch. Okay, you're a good mom, I guess, Desi. But don't you feel even a little bad for Thailand's team? What? Tilan? No, this has nothing to do with them. Our women weren't playing against Thailand. They were playing against the patriarchy.

That's what this game was really about. Well, last time I checked, the patriarchy wasn't made up of 13 Thai women. No, no, no. No, I'm talking about this. 28 players are suing their employer, the U.S. Soccer Federation, alleging institutionalized gender discrimination. According to their lawsuit, the women's team earns just 38% of a male player for the same kind of work. The women scored more goals in one match than the men's team has scored in every World Cup appearance since 2006 combined.

You see that? The women's soccer team is doing so much more and getting paid so much less than the men's team. It's like finding out that Tony Stark got paid less than Hawkeye. One's a superhero, the other's a dad who's into archery. Yesterday was about the women's team trying to prove their worth. They weren't just playing to win a game, they were playing to win a lawsuit. And yeah, you know what, it sucks that that that that that the the the the the the the the the the the ti is sucks is sucks is sucks the the ti is sucks the ti is sucks ti is sucks ti is sucks ti is sucks ti is sucks is sucks is sucks is sucks is s ti is ti is ti is ti is ti ti tiea tiea tiea tha-s. tha-s. tha is tha is tha is to is to to to to to to to their is tha is their is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is tha is ti is ti. I is ti. I is thau. I's thau. I's. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. today is. today is today is today is tod, you know what, it sucks that Thailand had to get caught in the crossfire, but it's like I said to the parents at my kids' music school, it's not personal and I'll pay for your tires. So, so you're saying the women's team was just sending a message to U.S. soccer.

Yes, and clearly that message was that they need to be paid more. Oh, and I don't I the the thu I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't thua soccer should pay the men less. Maybe they then be motivated to actually qualify for their World Cup. Go! No goal! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Yes! Yes! I'm sports Malik. Desilatic everyone, we'll be right back. That's too much. That's too much. That's too much.

But he did, he was like, he was like on his phone and he was picking his nails at one point. He was definitely bored and it was during some of my scenes. I felt some kind of way about it, but it was okay. I feel like you should surprise people, like when that's happening, just pop and be like, hey, look at me. Hey, that would like blow their minds. They would just be like, they'd think it's a thing. You'd never forget Tessa Thompson if that happened to you on a plane.

I probably should. My friend recently, I' tied to. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to me. to be, to. to. to. to be, to be, the th. to be, to be, to be, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because. the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. their. to. their. their. their. th. their. t. th. th. th. th. they, they, they they, they t. t. today, today, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, t-shirt, which is a film that I made. And he was like, hey, I like your t-shirt. And we happened to be face-timing, so I was like, let me see the guy. And I face time with him. And that changed his life forever. I don't know. Yeah, you become an eternal fan. His name is Michael. He goes to NYU. I mean, Men in Black is a franchise that people know and love, and now Men in Black is international,

even though they were intergalactic before. But the story has changed now. It's about aliens all over, because before it was just like, this is what's happening in New York. Now it's like, no, the aliens are everywhere. Yeah, it has a global scope. You've only ever seen the world basically. And you get to act across from Chris Hemsworth again. You guys make a formidable duo on screen.

Oh, thanks. Yeah, no, we've seen you in the Avengers, like there's comedy moments, there's moments where it's like, oh, these two are kicking ass together and now you're back together. Do you shouldn't just like know why I said it like that. Yeah that was a weird way to say it. No, just because you know like you spend a lot of time with someone you see them first thing in the morning you see them late at night you see them when they're hangary like you get to really know somebody and at this point you know the first time around you're trying to make a good impression and now we're so comfortable that you're just..... the. the. their. 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. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. to to to to the. to to to to to the. the. the. to the. the. the. the. the. the. So you really get to someone. So does Chris get angry? Deeply. But so do why, so it's good.

Oh, because I was just going to say that makes me feel better about his body. But he gets perfect. Because I'd be jealous. And then now I'm just going to be like, ha ha ha. He does. No, no, no, it's because he does intermittent fasting. Wow. I know. I pretend to do it sometimes with him. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm so hungry and I've had like avocado toast in a smoothie. What I love about, here's what I love about your interactions on screen, not just with Chris but the

characters that you play. And I mean, you know, in Men in Black it feels like again, even in the scene that we watched, it feels like you take characters that previously could have just been archetypes and you've molded them into being, dare I say, complete human beings. You know, not just the girlfriend, not just the sidekick, not just the nagging woman, but it's like, no, a human being who feels and says and does everything and actually moves the plot forward. Is that something you do intentionally or is that just the roles that come to you? I think I try I try I try I try I try I try I try try try try try try try try try th, I th, I th, I th. thi thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, togu, togu. togu. togu. togu. tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha come to you? I think I try to, because who wants to be the nagging woman? Right.

That's no fun. I also, I don't know, for me, I've never thought that I would make movies and certainly big Hollywood movies, like all of those archetypes, like the hot girl, or, like I never felt like I could see myself in any of those archetypes, so I wouldn't stand a chance in my own perspective of making it in this business to fit squarely in any of those boxes. So, and I've been really lucky, it's not just me I get to work with collaborators like Ryan Kugler who wants me to be more than just, than just, yeah, than an archetype. Right, just someone who's in the background.

And it's so, it's so disgusting, but so much in Hollywood, women are just ciphers, you know? We move the plot forward. And I'm really heartened that I've stuck around long enough in a time where we, audiences are demanding more than that, and Hollywood is, I think, finally listening. It's coming across. When you look at Hollywood as a whole and you see a poster like that, I remember a time when internationally you wouldn't see a poster with the black lead on the post, like I've seen posters all over the world where I'd be in South Africa in America and then they would have like the black actor on it and then you'd travel

somewhere else and you'd be like wait what happened to that person but you you are on the posters you know you I've seen pictures of you in Japan I've seen pictures of you in China I've seen pictures that's a big shift in Hollywood it's a huge shift but to be to be honest I mean the first film was made the the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first I was 14 years old. Will Smith became a bonafide movie star. I would not be here without him. That's just true. And we can take it for granted now, but the fact that he was able to top line a studio movie,

a franchise, and bring his black identity to it is hugely groundbreaking. Right. It just is. Do you think that's a big thing that needs to be bankable as well. Because like everyone seems to get surprised. You know like Jordan Peels movie that they go did surprisingly well. And then you know like something happens. That always happens with like like with Black Panther. They were like, Black Panther,

which it's surpassed all expectations. Whereas it's like Avengers or like the,. Well, there has been this myth, this really antiquated, tired myth that Hollywood has held onto, which is that black and brown faces don't sell overseas, that they don't want to see us in China, they don't want to see us in Russia. I'll tell you what, I went to Russia we can get to a space where a woman, and particularly a woman of color, top lining a studio movie, is not something that we need to celebrate or congratulate or acknowledge because it's just commonplace.

And so my hope is that films like this help us get there, which is my soft pitch for why people should go see this film. There's a thousand reasons to see it. You've just added one more to that.
