August 5, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is the Danish everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is one of the stars in the new movie Dora and the Lost City of Gold. Evilongorios joining us everybody. Also on tonight's show, humans can officially fly.

Wild animals prefer hip-hop. And of course, we have to talk about the mass shootings that took place this weekend. Now, we're not going to solve America's gun problems in half an hour, but we'll probably do more than Congress. So before we get into that, let's catch up on today's headlines. to tod have asked two questions. Is it okay if our pets see us masturbating?

And can we fly? Now we'll never know the answer to the first, but the second might now be a yes. A French inventor has successfully flown his hoverboard across the English channel. Frankie Zapata soared from France to England on his jet-powered board. The 22-mile trip took 22 minutes, including a refueling stop. His first attempt, 10 days earlier, was unsuccessful after he failed to land on a refueling platform. After it was over, an emotional Zapata described his feet as an amazing moment, saying, quote, my dream came true.

Okay, that is amazing. Hoverboards are finally real. And I mean legit hoverboards, not that bullshit, they sold us in back to the future, too. I'm talking real flying. Going from France to England, that is flying. Although if you're a British person who voted for Brexit, this is your worst nightmare. Because one minute you're like, we, going, going, going, going, going, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll th, we'll th, we'll th, we'll th, we'll th, we'll th, we'll th, we'll th, we'll have th, we'll th, we'll have th, we'll thi, we'll have thi, we'll that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, person who voted for Brexit, this is your worst nightmare. Because one minute you're like, we'll have no more of these bloody foreigners coming into England, and now there's just a French dude's flying out of the sky. He's like, bonjo, I'm here to sleep with your eyes.

So, this invention is pretty cool, but I'm not in a rush to get one. Like, it's cool, but it looks uncomfortable and the whole journey you probably covered in bugs It's like flying spirit airlines Spirit Airlines with the hoverboard of the sky All right, but let's move on from a triumph of human ingenuity to its total opposites in Canada over the, there was a real woman who did manage to make her big escape. Billboard reports a Canadian woman walking her dog says she scared away a wild cougar by playing heavy metal band Metallicas,

don't tread on me. See you, cutie cat. She says she yelled for the cougar to stop, and it did, but it wouldn't leave. So she blasted what she said was the noisiest thing on her phone. Never once engaged, never surrendered. The cougar dashed off into the bushes. The woman and her dog were not hurt. Okay, that was insane.

This woman came face to face with a cougar and then played Metallica on her phone to chase it away. She's lucky that it was that kind of cougar because if it was the other kind of cougar, playing Metallica only attracts them. That wouldn't have worked. Also, I'm impressed that she had the presence of mind to pick the right song to scarerear that. Because I won't lie if a wildcat surprised me in th. th. th. th. to pick the right song to scare away because that she said she chose that song because I won't like if a wild cat surprised me in the woods I'd be so scared I'll probably just hit random on my phone it would be some random like Sean Mendez song you know just be like I love it

when you come me see you're it and then the cat would be like oh are you gonna are you gonna are gonna say what you say don't you say? I'm like, no, no. Oh, or like, I think I'd like play something from the Lion King soundtrack. Yeah, and then the cougar would just be like, wow, Lion King? That is so racist. You think all cats are lions? You know what? I was going to mall you, but you're not worth it, all right? I don't like the taste of bigots. I will give you some real advice though. As an African, I have a lot of experience coming across wild animals. I will give you some advice.

You don't need to play loud music. Okay, if you ever come across a wild animal, all you have to do is look the cat in the eye and say, excuse me, I'm conducting a short survey. That cat will be gone. to our tap the to the to the to to answer the to answer the to answer to answer to answer the to answer thoomsese. That cat will be gone. Be like, I'm late for a meeting, thank you, go, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. Mass shootings.

Over the past few years, they have become as regular in America as Star Wars movies. And just like Star Wars movies, people have started paying less and less attention. But this weekend, something happened. The nation mourns the victims of two shooting massacres just 13 hours apart. The massacres in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, happened in startling proximity for a country already too familiar with gun violence. Twenty-nine people were killed in the two shooting rampages, just 13 hours apart.

Yes, in the span of two days, 13 hours in fact, 84 people were shot, and currently 31 people have been killed in two deadly mass shootings. And like, even though most of America has gotten used to dealing with mass shootings, having them happen back to back has forced people to take notice. In fact, this weekend's tragedy has garnered so much attention that President Trump couldn't respond with his usual sad tweet. Instead, he had to come out and give a formal address to the nation this morning, where he condemned white supremacy and domestic terrorism. Unfortunately, he also offered condolences to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the told, the the the told, the the the the the the the the too, the the the the the too, the th. tho, 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 the the thu, thu, the, the, t.. t. today, today, tean.au.augh.a, tean.a, tean.a, tean.a.a.a. today, thau. t. t. t. terrorism. Unfortunately, he also offered condolences to the people of Toledo,

which is not one of the cities that had a mass shooting. So that was basically the mass shooting equivalent of saying the wrong person's name in bed. But these two tragedies didn't happen in a vacuum. They're part of a rise in mass shootings in recent years. And now, news anchors, pundits, politicians alike, they're all trying to figure out the root cause of what has become a national epidemic. And they've been pinning the blame on a lot of different things, starting with the internet. And on the controversial website, ACHAN, extremists seem to have found a home. At least three mass shootings this year alone have been announced on the site.

The dark corners of the internet, where these people people people people people people people people people people theeee the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, of what the, of what the, of what the, of what the, of what the, of the, of the, of the, of the, of the, of what the, of what the shootings this year alone have been announced on the site. The dark corners of the internet, where these people breed hate and division. The perils of the internet and social media cannot be ignored and they will not be ignored. We must recognize that the internet has provided a dangerous avenue to radicalize, disturbed minds and perform demented acts. Yes, many people including the president are saying that the internet is to blame for radicalizing these domestic terrorists. Because giving them a community and a platform is helping them share their ideas. It's the same way the internet is given a platform to people who eat laundry detergent, right? Yeah, back in the day you can only share your feelings with the people at poison control. Now, now. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the the the thi, the the the their, their their their their their their thi, thi, their their the, and their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, and their their, and their, and their, their, their, their their, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi, thi, thi, the, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean.auuiiiiiiiii. thean, thean, thean, thi. And, their, their, the internet has given a platform to people who eat laundry detergent. All right? Yeah, back in the day, you can only share your feelings with the people at poison control.

Now you have a community. So now some people are saying we need to tighten regulation of the internet. And I'll be honest with you, I'm all for it. Especially after I got catfish last week. I thought I was talking to a lonely, middle-augh thia too, too, thinin, too, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the thi, the the the the thi, the the the the the thi, 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 th... the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, threat. the. threate. the the the th th talking to a lonely middle-aged man who needed my social security number. Turns out it was some beautiful woman who wanted to date me. What the hell? I get what these people are saying though. The internet is a powerful tool that can be used to radicalize wannabe mass shooters.

You know? Maybe that's why we don't have a mass shooting in Africa. Our internet is shit and the power keeps cutting. Yeah. Right now, there's some guy in Nigeria who's like, I want to be radicalized, but this Wi-Fi is so slow. You are so lucky, this video is buffering, huh? You're so lucky. I'll just have to stick to sending emails.

Dear sir, I have lost some money. Now, while some people argue that this epidemic is being caused by the internet, another argument is that it's something more precise. Because everyone uses the internet in America, but most of these shooters are young white men. And what do young white men all have in common? Video games. The idea of these video games to dehumanize individuals to have a game of shooting individuals and others.

I've always felt that is a problem for future generations and others. First shooter games would desensitize folks to the violence. When you see it through a screen and you don't relate to it in person, it makes it seem like it's more accessible. What's changed in this country? We've always had guns, we've always had evil, but what's changed where we see this rash of shooting? And I see a video game industry that teaches young people to kill. Okay, on the surface that sounds like a pretty good argument. America has always had guns. America has always had evil. But mass shootings have only taken off over the past, what, 20 years? And what has

been new in the past 20 years? Violent video games. Although by that logic, anything that's been invented in the last 20 years could have contributed to mass shootings. Like Crocks were invented over the last 20 years. And I know they inspire anger and me. Here's another thing, here's another thing though. If video games are responsible for shootings, how do you explain countries like South Korea or Japan? They play the same games at a higher rate than the U.S. But neither of these countries have a mass shooting epidemic. The worst thing Japan is dealing with right now is a karaoke epidemic. The only thing getting murdered there is Mariah Carey songs. So some people blame the internet and others say it's video games. But for many, if the

president wants to find the real cause of what's happening, he should go and look in the bathroom mirror. The 21-year-old white male said the attack was th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi-in, thi-in, thi-in, thi-a-a-in, thi-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-n. thi-s, thi-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th-in, th-in, th-in, th-in, th-in, th-a-a-a-a-s, th-nc-s, thi-s, thi-s, tha-s, ta-s, ta-s, ta-s, ta-s, ta-s, toda-s, toda-s, today-a-a-s,. The 21-year-old white male said the attack was in response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas, adding that his ideology predates President Trump, and that blaming the president would be the equivalency of fake news. This is language the president has used. A lot of people are taking issue with the explosive rhetoric he has used, rhetoric that mirrors the screed written by the El Paso murderer. Just three months ago, this scene at a rally in Panama City Beach, Florida.

President Trump at first laughing when a supporter in the crowd suggested shooting immigrants. But how do you stop these people? You can't. There's no... That's only in the panhandle you can get away with that statement. Yeah, it might have been a joke at that rally, but clearly there are people out there who could take the president's words seriously. I know it's crazy to take Trump's words seriously, but some people do. In fact, as we've learned, the mass shooter and El Paso left behind a manifesto that included the same phrases Trump uses every day, fake news, emigrant invasions. The only reason you know that it wasn't written by Trump is because the grammar was correct.

And here's the thing, here's the thing. Although there is a chance, Donald Trump has emboldened racist mass shooters. We also cannot say that he's the overall cause, because there were racist mass shooters before Donald Trump. It's the same way you can't blame stuffed crust pizzas for the obesity epidemic in America. You can't admit that adding a pizza to the edge of a pizza is not going to help people lose weight, but it's not the cause. So some people blame blame blame internet, some say it's video games, others blame President Trump. But the thing we're hearing the most after these mass shootings is that the real cause is

all in the head. Mental health is a large contributor to any type of violence or shooting violence. There's so many different factors, you don't know. I mean maybe a child's born with you know something mental illness. This was a sick person. The person in Dayton was a sick person. No politician is to blame for that. You cannot be a white supremacist and be normal in the head. These are sick people. Now again, this argument sounds completely logical. If someone kills a group of random strangers they must be mentally ill. But that's not necessarily true. In fact, a majority of mass shooters have no history of mental illness, which is a

scary thought, because it means most mass shooters are killing because they want to, not because something went wrong in their brain. So, what causes mass shootings? want to, not because something went wrong in their brain. So what causes mass shootings? Is it the internet? Is it video games? Is it Trump? Is it mental illness?

You know what's sad and frustrating about America is that after every mass shooting, lawmakers want to identify the one thing that causes all mass shootings? And if they can't agree on what that thing is, nothing gets done. But the truth is, when it comes to any individual shooting, the cause could be any one of those factors, if not more.

But there's one thing that every mass shooting has in common. Whatever motivated it has to be combined with a gun. We'll be right back. 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 talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches and I know that I listed that fourth but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as

podcasts go but how many of them come out on Thursday. I mean talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart. But how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. You guys have been amazing today. Thank you for being here. Thank you for coming out. Thank you for coming out.

I, I really am fascinated by some of the conversations people have post-mass shootings in America. One of the more interesting ones for me was a tweet that has drawn quite a bit of backlash from Neil Degrass Tyson. I don't know if you saw this. He tweeted and said something about mass shootings and was really insensitive and people were so angry that he was trending. And like if you're trending and there's been two mass shootings like you've f-fied up. And basically the tweet was, it was about like scale or like how we react to the idea

of people dying. He said like in the past 48 hours, the USA horrifically lost 34 people and then he was talking, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th. And, and, th. And, and, and, th. And, and, th, and, th.... And, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.i. thri. th. th. thri. th. th. thre. thee. thre. thi. thi. horrifically lost 34 people, and then he was talking about like shootings on average. You know, he was saying like across any 48 hours, we also lose 500 people to the flu, 200 to car accidents, 250 to suicide, 40 to homicide. And then he said, often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data. That's what he said. And then people, you know what I mean? Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I th, I th, I th, I th, like, I th, I th, I thi, like, I thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th.... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. data, that's what he said. And then people, you know what I mean? Like, I get what he was trying to do, like he's trying to be like science-y in that moment. But, first of all, timing.

Do you know what I mean? At a funeral is not the time to tell the people that the guy owed you money. That's not the, I guess the human element of what people are fighting for in America. And that is trying. Because a lot of people were like, yeah, you tell them, Neil, people like to make mass, mass shootings a big thing in America. A few people die. And I was like, yes. But it's interesting to me how all these other things that people bring up

still have a country that tries to stop them. Trying is the thing. You know, medical errors happen, but you know what they've done over time? They've tried to decrease medical errors by implementing new laws, new systems where they go like, maybe the nurse can help and, you know, track what the doctor's doing, the pharmacist can look at your, you know, your prescriptions, make sure that you don't have an overdose, things are not left inside your body, they try and decrease the numbers. Same thing with cars. People say they go like, more people are dying in car accidents. We don't ban cars, it's like, yes, but you know what we do? We ban dangerous cars. Over the years, what we've To get a car, you need a license, you need to go through a process, because we just want to minimize the chance of a person dying in a car. We're going to have random stops where they check if you are drunk driving

to try and protect people from dying in drunk driving access. We try. Speed bumps is the best. the best. People try. is literally just going like, all right, we don't know why people go fast on this road, we don't know how they go fast, we don't know, maybe it's because it's a cool road, maybe it's because they're chasing someone, maybe because they're late, we don't know what we do know is we're going to put a speed bump on the road just to make it harder to go fast. That's all we're gonna do and people and people they they'll run the the people run their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. And people run they'll run th. And people run they'll run they'll run they'll run they'll run they'll run they'll run they'll they'll they'll they'll they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th. And th. And th. And the. And the. And the. And the. And thea. And thean. And thean. And thean they're they're they're they're they're they're they't ban airplanes. Yeah, but they locked that shit up hard.

You know what I mean? Like, there's a little thing called the TSA. Have you flown? Have you flown? You can't, like too much saliva, and they tell you to, too much liquid, go back. Spit that shit out. They try harder and harder to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make flying to make flying to make flying to make flying to make flying to make flying to make flying to make flying to make flying to make flying to that slying thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii to to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to to to to to to toying toying toying toying toying toaaafliaiaifinging toaaaaaaaa toying toying toying toaing toying to to to they tell you to too much liquid, go back, spit that shit out. They try, they try harder and harder to make flying safer and safer and as a flyer, I appreciate it. I go, yes, I understand the shit that I have to go through, but I appreciate the fact that it has become safer. Airlines used to get hijacked all the time. Before like terrorist it, someone has a hostage situation. People would just do it for a statement, planes will get hijacked. Then they said, you know what, we're gonna make it harder.

We're gonna lock the door. I don't know why that was the thing that had to be invented. But they said, we're gonna lock the door. They said, you know what else're not gonna blow some shit up. We're trying. That's, and that, like, that's, that for me has always been like what America is. America tries, man, you just go like,

no, we're just gonna keep on trying. It's not about perfect. It's about trying to trying to be to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more to be more not saying get rid of guns, you're saying try to minimize the chances of this happening. Try to make it as hard as possible for people to own a gun because you only want people who are willing to work hard to own a gun to own a gun. You only want people who respect a gun to own a gun. You want to make it as hard as possible. That's all it is. And then people always say the same thing to me.

They go, Trevor, you just, you don't care about the Second Amendment. You know, I go like, yes, but the Second Amendment fundamentally, fundamentally, if you think about it, is about protecting human beings. That's what it was written. It was about protecting human beings. What is the good of writing a law that now protects the guns as opposed to the human beings that are supposed to protect? Welcome back to the day to show. My guest tonight is a Golden Globe nominated actor,

producer and director who stars in the new movie Dora and the Lost City of Gold. Please welcome Eva Longoria! I look when I clap for myself. As you should. If I were you, I would clap for myself every time I answer the room. I think it's just the euphoria. Welcome to the show. I'm so happy to be here. I've missed you. It's been a while since I have seen you and, you know, I've been following you, not following you like that. I watch the things that you do as I hope you would hope people to miss people to miss people to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the things that you do, as I hope you would hope people do.

And it's been exciting to see your journey going from, you know, like an actress in television shows, into movies, into producing, into directing, and now, Dora the Explorer, the movie, the Lost City of Gold, has taken you into a new world. Why did you accept this film? Especially consideringinging the the the the movie the movie the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, thiiiiiii, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, and I I thi, and I thi, and I would thi.. And, and I've thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii., and it's this film? Especially considering that you just became a new mom when it happened. Yeah. There's a maternity leave? And there's a movie. Why would you take the movie? Yeah, it's basically the same.

Yeah. It's like, it's so relaxing. No, I was. I was, Santee was filming in Australia. And so I was like, I can't do this. But they, I grew up with Dora and I, well, I think I grew up with Dora. Actually, she's only 20 years old, which means I did not grow up with Dora. Right, but you felt Dora's been around forever.

Yeah, it's like, I don't remember a world with Dora. And so I was like, I have to do to do to do to do to do to do th and th and th. th. to do th. th. th. th. to do th. to do th. th. th. th. th. to do. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

That's what we shot Dora. But it was important, you know, it's important that we have a movie like Dora to represent Latinos in a positive portrayal. Right. Representation matters. And so when you see something as empowering as Dora, she's a little girl who's smart and brave and fearless and intelligent and she's Latina

and you're like, oh yeah, Latinos are other things that are not synonymous with illegal, you know. Right, right, Dora has been for many people, many generations and an icon in like traveling, learning languages, being who she is, you know, teaching English but at the same time teaching Spanish. It's been this all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all thoomom. th. th. th. thia, tho-a, tho-a, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi-a, thi-a, thi-a, thi-a, thi-a, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia. thia. thia. thiaa. thia-a-a-. It's been this all-encompassing journey. Was she in South Africa? Yes, she was. Yeah, Dora's everywhere in the world. I didn't know that, by the way.

I thought she was just a Hispanic icon. And then when I got the call, when it wasaches English in other countries, but in the United States, she teaches Spanish. So she's an explorer. That's what the thing is. I know, I know, I know, I forgot. She troubles the world. I realize that. But you're right, she was ahead of her time

because she encouraged cultural exchange. Yes, she did. and I think it's timely, it's important right now. I feel like in many ways you teaming up with Dory is the perfect marriage or union because that's in many ways what Eva Longoria has always been about. You were always a boundary breaker. You know, you were doing things on TV at a time when many Latina women were confined to a certain role or a certain idea of what they were meant to be. And you came in in and to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their to their their to their their their their their their their their their to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a toe. toe. to me a to me a to me a to me a certain. to me to me to me to me to me to me to me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me a to me me a to me a to me a toe.... toe. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.. th. th. thean. thean. toean. toean.. toean.. toean. toean. toean. toe. toe. toe in, you broke down stereotypes, ideas, platforms, boundaries, everything.

And you've really been instrumental in driving that change. Why do you think that's important? And what do you strive to do in creating a new idea of what Latino people can achieve on screen? Yeah, well, you know, it's true. I didn't mean to break barriers. I was who I am, I was toeeeeeeeeeeeeeakeakeakeake. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. th. th. th. th. th. th. thii. th. thee. thee. the. the. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you, you, you. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th..................................................................................................... but just Mexican-American. I am, I straddle the hyphen. I'm not, you know, people go, you're half Mexican, half American. I'm like, no, I'm 100% Mexican and 100% American at all times.

You know, I love enchiladas, but I love burgers and hot dogs. Like, you know, I like Mariachi, thi. So it's confusing. Now I'm picturing a- No, no, now I'm picturing a John Legend Mariachi, like Nash. That's what I'm picturing now. We should. But I think, you know, so, like roles or projects that I do just reflect that. You know, I'm ninth generation American. I'm a Texican. And, and in Texas, you know, we didn't cross the border, the border crossed us.

And so it is, I didn't come up with that, but it was good. Well, I've never heard it before though. This was the first time I heard it, so I'm like, damn, all right. I should have just dropped the mic. You should have. That's a drop the mic moment. No. But it's there there there there there there there there there there there there there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's their their. their. th. th. I's, th. I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I didn't is, I didn't, I'm, I'm, I didn't, I didn't is. I didn't is. I didn't is. I didn't is. I didn't is. I didn't is. I didn't is. I didn't, I didn't is. I didn't is. I didn't is. I th. I th. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I is. I. I th. I th. I's, I's, I's, I's, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn, many, many generations. And so I was saying in the media right now, if you just watch the news, it just positions us in a bad light and that we haven't made contributions when in reality we have made many contributions to the thread of this country. Right, the conversation in and around Latinos has been defined and restricted to it is only a person

crossing the border because of and it's illegally It's never anything successful is it's very seldom all the other stories that come with it Being from Texas you you are also now in a position where today, you know, we're still dealing with what happened over the weekend The shooting that took place in El Paso. You know, you as you said you born and raised in Texas you've lived the life of of being of of of of of of of th th th of th th th th th th th th the th th the th th the th th the th th the the th th the th. the th. th. the the the the tho 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 the the the the th. the. thi. thi. thi. thea. thee. thea. theaugh. the. thea. thea. they. they. the the thea. thea. thea. the the the the the the the place in El Paso. You know, as you said, you're born and raised in Texas. You've lived the life of being around guns, being around people who like and respect guns, being around people who don't respect guns, but like them just as much.

When you look at what happened in El Paso, why it happened, how it happened as a Texan specifically. How do you deal with that? Where do you think people can even even to go off to seeing something like this? I mean, it's horrifying. The reality that it keeps happening is horrifying and heartbreaking, but I think we're beyond that, oh, you know, thoughts and prayers thing and and I think we're getting a little numb to it, you know?

I mean, there's two shootings in one weekend. You go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the reality, and, the reality, and the reality, and thi. And, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's, thi's thi's theeaugh, thooooooooooooooooooo.. And, the the the the the the reality weekend, you go, oh another shooting. You get the alert on your phone and we're becoming numb to it. And the reality is these things are preventable. Some people think, oh, that's inevitable. Who knew that guy was going to go in there and do that? The fact that he had access to protect us, is outraging. You should be outraged. They, their fidelity to the NRA or the gun lobby is more valuable than the lives of Americans, and that's troubling and that should outrage all of us.

And as a Texan with a mother who goes to Walmart, there have been so many times I drop her off at the door and I go, I'm not going to, mom, you're going to take too long and I'll drop her off at the door. And I went hearing that son's story about, he dropped off his mom and he wasn't even two minutes and he heard gunshots and when he ran in, his mother was dead. To think that was my mom, to think about if that was your mom, you know, and you would go, oh, I wish I could have done something before that moment.

And we're the only country in the world that has more guns than people. And I think there is a way, I know there's a way there's a way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way way way the way the, that is a way 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 way, that's way, that's way, I was way, I was way, I was way, I's way, I'm way, I'm way, I'm way, I'm way, thathe.. that, that. that. that's a way, that's a way, that's a way, that's a way, I's a way, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, that's, I'm, a way, I know there's a way to protect the Second Amendment, but not allow it to be a death sentence to thousands of Americans. There's a way to do both. I didn't want to try. It makes me so sad. You know what, you have a right to be to be to be the to'er. to be the door to explore the tour, too, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is a, is a, is a, is a, is a, and, is, is a the, is a the, is a to be, is a to be, to be, door of the explorer tour also has to be about gun violence, but I guess in many ways you are now the door or the explorer of the message that comes with the meaning.

I am always more than happy to talk about anything, any issue that can make this country stand up to what it's meant to be and that's a place that is welcoming and accepting and protective and and right now I don't think we're doing a good job of that and I think we have to hold a lot of people accountable for that.
