You're listening to Comedy Central.

[00:00:36]

From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Jordan Clemence. Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Jordan Klapper. Can I just be the last person to say Happy Valentine's Day? But be careful out there. According to your mom's Facebook, there's Fentanyl in the chocolates. We got a great show for you tonight, so let's get into the headlines. Let's start with the border crisis, shall we? For months, Congress has been unable to take concrete steps to find a real solution. Yesterday, House Republicans stood up, joined hands, and said, Fuck it, let's pull a cheap stunt instead. For the first time in almost For 50 years, a cabinet secretary has been impeached. House lawmakers impeached- On this vote. Homeland Security Secretary, Alhándr Mayorkas, yesterday by an extremely thin margin of one, 214 to 213. They think Secretary Mayorkas is not doing a good job, but they don't really have a case that he has committed what we are supposed to be looking for, which is high crimes and misdemeanors. It sends a message that we're not just going to sit by while the Secretary of Homeland Security fails to do his job at keeping our homeland safe.

[00:02:12]

Really? House Republicans? Really? That's grounds for impeachment now, doing a bad job? That's the standard you guys want to set because you're not exactly crushing it right now. You can't pass legislation, you can't settle on a speaker. The most you guys have gotten done is one Betelgeuse handjob, and even that wasn't to completion. I mean, come on, I could have knocked out two before the curtain rises. But fine. They impeached Alejandro Mayorkas. I guess House Republicans think they can solve the border crisis by removing one Latino at a time. So congratulations to House Speaker Mike Johnson for finally getting something passed. Although, you know who's going to be pretty upset about that? Mike Johnson from four years ago. The founding fathers, the founders of this country, warned against single-party impeachments. They said that it would be bitterly divisive, perhaps irreparably divisive for the country. I definitely won't regret that in a few years. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to French kiss a bad at the Wuhan wet market. But let's move on to more consequential Congressional news. Yesterday, Long Island voters had a special election to replace this guy, George Santos. Yeah, of course.

[00:03:39]

Sure. Famous for getting expelled, dressing like a ventriloquist dummy, and running away from all of America's finest journalists. Run away from me all you want, George. You'll have to talk to me when I pay for that cameo. Don't Those are the rules. It's in the contract. Read the fine print, George. I'm coming for you. But the race to replace Santos wasn't just a local issue. It had national implications because both parties were looking to see what the result would tell them about November. Let's break down this race. In one corner, we had Tom Swazi, and in the other corner, we had Mazy Pillup. Swazi versus Mazy. Even Dr. Seuss was like, That's a little much. Now, looking at their pictures, you can probably guess which candidate in which party. But you'd be wrong. And you need to do better. The white guy is Democrat Tom Swazi. Funny story, he actually held the seat before George Santos, but then he left to run for governor. Tom, how did that go? I ran for governor, and I got my ass kicked. Thanks for your honesty. That's the Democrats champion Tom Swazi. I'm the guy who got my ass kicked.

[00:05:00]

This man failed and got another chance. This is what sociologists refer to as a reverse female movie director. Meanwhile, the Republican is Mazy Pillup, and she contains multitudes. Mazy Pillup is, in fact, a registered Democrat, though she was elected to the Nassau County legislature as a Republican. Pillup, a mother of seven and wife of a Ukrainian immigrant, is an Ethiopian Jew. Born in Southern Ethiopia, she an immigrant to Israel, joining their military, the IDF, before moving to the United States. That's a big gun. Okay. An Ethiopian Jewish, refugee, immigrant, Republican, Democrat, mother of seven, married to a Ukrainian who served in the IDF. She's like, if you ask ChatGPT to write a bio based on all the news. Now, if this race has national implications, then understanding what issues resonated with voters is crucial. In Long Island, one issue stood out.

[00:06:07]

Both candidates made the case that they are tougher on immigration.

[00:06:10]

I'll work across the aisle to do what our leaders haven't, secure our border.

[00:06:15]

At the same time, the two attacked each other on the issue.

[00:06:18]

Because Tom Swazi repeatedly weakened America's borders. Guys, guys, guys, relax. There's plenty of migrants to demonize for the both of you. Okay, so both Swazi and Mazie made immigration a big part of their platform. But just as revealing as what they were running on was who they were running away from. Mazie refused to ask Trump for his endorsement, and Swazi politely asked President Biden to stay the fuck away.

[00:06:47]

Would you want to campaign with Biden?

[00:06:49]

I could pretty much guarantee that the President is not going to be coming to campaign here.

[00:06:52]

But this is a huge seat.

[00:06:54]

I mean, don't you think the President could be helpful? And then if he came out here?

[00:06:57]

I don't think it would be helpful, just as I don't think Donald Trump would be helpful to my opponent. And this race is really very local. He's declining the President's offer like how you decline your dad's offer to babysit. So sweet of you, pops, but we don't want to put you out. And Billy really doesn't want to play with your keys for three hours. He's 15. Of course, Swazi is right. A Biden visit would not be helpful, especially to Biden. You don't want Joe having to learn any new names right now. His brain is in a one-in, one-out situation. Top Swazi, nice to meet you. I'm... Oh, no. So that was the candidates and the issues they ran on. Last night, we found out who had the winning strategy. Democrat Tom Swazy easily winning a special election in New York's third Congressional district, defeating Mazy Pilla by eight points. Thank God.

[00:07:58]

Let me just enjoy this Give me one more minute, okay?

[00:08:02]

Yes. Let me enjoy this. Tomorrow, I start the world's worst job. Yes, Tom Swazi won the race handily. Now, the question is, what does it mean for November. Of course, Donald Trump has his own opinion. Former President Donald Trump blamed Pillip's loss on her lack of loyalty to him. He said that though he boasts an almost 99% endorsement success rate in primaries and a very good number in the general elections, this very foolish woman didn't endorse me. Maga, which is most of the Republican Party, stayed home, and it will always, unless it is treated with the respect that it deserves, I stayed out of the race I want to be loved, in quotes. I'm not sure what that I want to be loved in quotes is. You don't know? You don't know what a bitter old man alone in his room tweeting into the abyss, I want to be loved the night before Valentine's Day means? Haven't you seen a person make a Freudian slip with his thumbs before? As for Democrats, they were gifted a blueprint for 2024. Joe Biden, heads up. The path is clear. You can win re-election in three easy steps.

[00:09:27]

One, get out there with a strong message. Two, tackle immigration head-on. And three, don't campaign with Joe Biden. For more analysis on last night's election, we go to Troy Iwana out in Long Island. Troy. Troy, what do you think the national implications of this election are?

[00:09:56]

It was a local election on Long Island, so none.

[00:10:01]

A local election with national implications. When you look at it, if you- Stop it. Who cares?

[00:10:09]

A Democrat winning in New York is not exactly shocking news. It's like finding How can you take out vaccines make you gay. We know. That's why we're taking them. Right.

[00:10:22]

Okay. But Long Island is a good bellwether. It's middle class, it's suburban, it's diverse.

[00:10:30]

In fact, those are really good points, but also it's Long Island. Why are you looking for a lesson from people who voted for George Santos, Root for the Mets, and idolize Billy Joel? We shouldn't be learning from them. We should pity them.

[00:10:47]

Okay, no. I actually really like Billy Joel.

[00:10:51]

Of course, we all do, but we're not supposed to be proud of it. He's a guilty pleasure like reality TV or cocaine.

[00:10:59]

I just don't think we should be looking for insight from an island that named their hockey team, The Islanders.

[00:11:08]

The Long Island Islanders. It's not exactly a bunch of Hemingways out here. Okay, noted.

[00:11:16]

So nothing to be learned, just not a thing.

[00:11:19]

Okay, well, there's one thing I'd like to learn, how to get home. The Long Island Railroad is confusing and scary. Who is Ron Konkoma? Jordan, please send me an Uber.

[00:11:33]

We'll send you an Uber. Troy Iwana, everybody. When we come back, author Joshua Green is here. So don't go away.

[00:12:29]

Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is a national correspondent for Bloomberg Business Week and best-selling author whose new book is called The Rebels: Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the Struggle for a New American Politics. Please welcome Joshua Green. Josh, welcome. Welcome. All right, Josh, so your last book, Devil's Bargan, was about Steve Banon and the Rise of Far-Right Populism. This book is looking at the far left and the Rise of Populism and the Progressive Movement. Is this what you brought us for Valentine's Day?

[00:13:15]

I'm giving you the gift of a book that's not about Trump or Biden or the depressing presidential rematch that's going to dominate our lives for the next nine. Yes. That's my gift to you. This is a rest, but for people who need a break read about Bernie Sanders.

[00:13:32]

There you go.

[00:13:33]

He'll cheer you up.

[00:13:34]

You talk about this book, about the rise of the left and the progressive, and the progressive movement and populism. Also, you talk about how it has a symbiotic relationship with the more moderate wing and the Joe Biden side of it all. Talk to me how you see those two things working symbiotically.

[00:13:50]

Yeah, well, I mean, the book starts in 2008 because I date the rise of this left populace movement to the reaction from the financial crisis. After that, everybody was angry. There was a big backlash. On the right, it led to the Tea Party and to Donald Trump. But on the left, it gave rise to people like Warren who were able to articulate the deep dissatisfaction a lot of Americans had with the fact that the government was bailing out Wall Street banks, but that they weren't helping the middle class. Over the years, we saw with the rise of Warren, who used her platform, including places like The Daily Show, to spread this message. You saw the rise of Bernie Sanders in his presidential race. Ultimately, this just became an important part of Democratic Party politics. When Donald Trump won, I think it woke up a lot of Democratic officials who said, Gosh, we better listen to these people. Joe Biden's presidency has really managed to unite the populists and the moderates. He's put into place a lot of things that Warren and Bernie and AOC have argued for. We're heading into the November election with Democrats really unified behind Joe Biden.

[00:14:56]

Now, it's interesting you say that. Mostly unified.

[00:14:59]

Mostly unified.

[00:15:00]

Because I theoretically see that. It doesn't seem as if that is the feeling, I would say, most Democrats. They don't feel like they're lined up, charged, ready to vote for Joe Biden right now. I think a lot of more far-left Democrats still feel like their voices aren't being heard. How are their voices being heard and seen through a vessel like Joe Biden?

[00:15:21]

I think you look at it two different ways. At the national level, all of the important left-wing Democrats, including my three characters, have all come out and endorsed Biden. Nobody decided to run against him, which they could have if they wanted to. Even AOC, who's had some problems with him lately, came out yesterday and said she thought he was one of the best presidents in recent US history, so they're pretty much united. But when it comes to the actual rank and file of left-leaning voters, especially younger voters, there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Biden. Maybe that's because of its age. He's old. He looks like grandpa. Maybe it's because of his position.

[00:15:57]

Kind of old.

[00:15:59]

Really He's really old. It looks a lot like grandpa.

[00:16:01]

He looks like grandpa, sure. Yes.

[00:16:03]

So does Trump.

[00:16:04]

Yes, they're both quite old. Sure. Yes.

[00:16:07]

But the challenge for Biden is going to be, how can he bring those younger people back into his coalition? I think one hope is that my characters will be effective surrogates. It's either that or you're going to have to count on going on TikTok and trying to attract them in other unorthodox ways that maybe the Biden campaign is going to be so good at.

[00:16:27]

You talk a lot about economic populism and what people across America really want, and that this movement started from people being disaffected post-2008. You spent a lot of time on the field. You're covering this election. I was recently in South Carolina, and Biden has pretty good numbers right now when it comes to the economy, the stock market's up. Inflation seems to be going down. We have unemployment that is incredibly low right now. But when I talk to the MAGA folks, those aren't the indicators that they care about, partially because-I'm shocked. Yes. But I think sometimes it's a political dodge, but sometimes what they focus on is gas, and oftentimes gas could never be low enough for folks. But housing. Housing is an indicator that they feel like the Biden administration is not dealing with, and the real people in America are frustrated with that as an indicator. Are the Democrats missing that conversation, looking at the middle parts of America and what they're actually disaffected by?

[00:17:27]

No, I don't think they're missing it. There's been a ton of worry about inflation, of course. That's been the main challenge that Biden has had to deal with. You hear that from Republicans, independents, and Democrats. Unless you spent the last three years only eating at a taco Bell, you've probably experienced price inflation, and you're not real happy about it.

[00:17:44]

I bet also you're not really happy about it if you spent the last few years just eating at a taco Bell. There will be reasons, too.

[00:17:49]

But look, people's views of the economy are looked at through the lens of political partisanship. It's true for Democrats. They were very unhappy about the economy, Paul said, when Donald Trump was President. There's a certain group of people and they're MAGA Republicans, who are probably never going to be happy with the state of the economy under Joe Biden. But what you really need to look at are Democrats and independents. The one thing that Biden really has going for him, running for re-election, is that he dealt with the deepest financial crash we've had since the great financial crisis, the one that followed the COVID crash, by By doing what my characters wanted him to do, what Warren and Sanders did, we had three rounds of stimulus and beefed up unemployment benefits and student loan freezes. The economy three years later is in really strong shape, as you pointed out. Biden's best hope is that in the ensuing nine months, people are not going to be able to ignore all these positive signs. The 401k is going to go up. They're going to get a good job. They're going to feel more positive. We can see measures like consumer sentiment that have turned around pretty strongly.

[00:18:59]

The The way I think of Biden's re-election is, it's not like the Olympics where you have to put up a perfect score. You just have to do better than the other guy. Things are trending in a direction where... That's at least an attainable goal, we hope, right?

[00:19:16]

The world's slowest 100-yard dash.

[00:19:18]

The world, yeah, exactly.

[00:19:23]

We're still running. It's interesting you say that he needs to articulate those successes. But since you wrote this book, we've had what's happening with Israel and Palestine, and I think we are starting to see a real shift in the Democratic Party. Obviously, AOC's response, probably not surprising to folks, but Bernie and Warren have been vocally critical of Bibi, leaving Biden in a weird location right now. How do you see him squaring that with a party that he needs to win over and these rebels, as you call them, clearly taking a stronger tact?

[00:20:00]

It's a great question. In a lot of ways, the story of my book is the story of how Democrats came together on economics over the last 15 years. But just in the last couple of months, we've seen a new fissure open up between the left and the center in the Democratic Party over Israel. It's something that I think has taken the Biden White House by surprise. Biden initially came out and was very much pro-Netanyahu. Then as things went south in Gaza, you could see the rebellion of the on the left flank of ordinary Yankefile voters, but also of important elected Democrats like AOC, like Bernie Sanders, it's a problem that they don't really know how to square. You've seen the White House express concern and all these Washington buzzwords. But I don't I don't think that that's really satisfying anyone. That's something they're going to have to figure out, because in a divided country like we've had in what's, I'm sure, shaping up to be a 50/50 election, they're going to need every vote they can get. These are a group of voters right now, people who are upset about Israel's campaign in Palestine that at least don't tell pollsters that they're really excited to vote for Joe Biden right now.

[00:21:09]

What do you see the Democratic Party reflecting? Is it reflecting more of an AOC version of the Democratic Party, or is it a Biden's version?

[00:21:19]

It's a good question. I think if you look at where the Democratic Party is today, vis-a-vis where it was, let's say in 2008, during the last crash at the beginning of the book, completely different party. When I came to Washington as a report in 2000, Biden was considered so pro-corporate that we used to jokingly call him the Senator from corporate America. But if you flash forward 15 years to Joe Biden as President today, he's out walking on UAW picket lines, instituted a recovery plan that was geared so much toward the middle class that pushed so much money out the door to working people that actually caused inflation. You look at what it is that politicians like Warren and Sanders have called for. I think there's really a large degree of unity on economics, and that's one reason why the party has remained unified behind Joe Biden. I think he's come a long way in melding the two wings of the party in a way that really points the direction forward for Democrats, generally, I think. I don't think we're ever going to go back to a time when if there's another financial crisis, Democrats are going to hand all the money to Wall Street banks.

[00:22:26]

I think they've learned that lesson. I think Joe Biden's success in 2020, and if he has success in 2024, will help to underline that message.

[00:22:35]

It's a great read. The Rebels is available now. Josh Green, everybody. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back after this.

[00:23:29]

Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor you know from Captain Marvel, No Time to Die, and the Woman King. She plays Bob Marley's wife, Rita, in the new biopic, Bob Marley, One Love. Please welcome Lashana Lynch. I love it. Jordan, welcome. Thank you. Your friends were great.They're lovely, right? Yeah. They are lovely. How lovely. I love it. They are... Yeah, they're just... Might you say it's all one love?

[00:24:16]

Oh, I like it.

[00:24:17]

That's nice.

[00:24:18]

It was nice. Wasn't it nice?

[00:24:20]

It was very nice. Nice. Well done. Lashana. Going through some of the things you've picked over the last few years. When you were part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you learned to fly a plane. In Woman King, you learned how to fight. In No Time to Die, you learned how to arm and disarm and fire a gun. Do you feel ready for the impending Apocalypse? Yeah. Yes. You've done the work, you prepped for it.

[00:24:50]

That's what I've been prepping for all my life.

[00:24:51]

I was like, You found a way to get paid for it. So whatever happens post-November, you're going to be in a great space.

[00:24:57]

Basically, yeah. You got to sneak your little skills in.

[00:24:59]

You You got to get into it. You can now write it off on your taxes. It's great. Exactly.

[00:25:03]

How did you know that's what I was trying to do?

[00:25:05]

This is smart, all right? Thank you so much. Yes. What skill did you pick up working on the latest movie, One Love?

[00:25:10]

None of that. None of that? None of that, no. Much, much lighter. Emotional grasp, definitely. There was a lot of holding. Rita Marley is a strong, very powerful, balanced, spiritual woman. I had to make sure that she was grounded at all times.

[00:25:28]

You had to work on yourself.

[00:25:30]

I had to work on myself, my spiritual self, my inner self, make sure that I was collected enough to take all of the experiences of all the training that you just told me about and put them into good use.

[00:25:42]

Now, I think when a lot of people think of Bob Marley, perhaps they're not as familiar with the story of Rita Marley. For me in college, Bob Marley, I love Bob Marley. He was a poster on a wall. I thought Legend was an album that he made as opposed to a greatest hits album, which is the mistake most college kids made at that point. But they weren't aware of Rita Marley. When you watch this film, you see that she's really the backbone of the Bob Marley story. When you read this, what did you know about Rita's story and what drew you to this?

[00:26:11]

Well, my parents are Jamaican. They're born in Jamaica, so I had a responsibility to take the role and make sure that it was everything that it needed to be, represent Rita Marley in the way that she deserved to, and also to uphold the legend's story. The legend that we know today didn't come from nowhere. She literally is the backbone. She held everything together. She ensured that her children are the geniuses that they are today. I just wanted to make sure that the remarkable woman remained a remarkable woman in the story and that the female narrative was told in the way that we know it should be, especially as a woman, as a black woman, and of Jamaican descent. I just wanted to make sure that everyone was on the same page.

[00:26:58]

That I would say that feels stressful to me.

[00:27:03]

Just a big backpack of light stress.

[00:27:04]

Yes, just light stress. I mean, my parents are from Michigan, so if I had to play M&M, that would be a lot of stress for me. Make sure you get it right. Do it right. Maybe Kid Rock would be an easier fit. Sadly, I don't know.

[00:27:18]

We could talk to someone, make it happen. Could we?

[00:27:21]

Yeah. Yes, M&M, if you're out there, let me... I know you're a better actor than I am and more successful. You could probably play yourself, but think about me. You met Rita Marley, right? Not only is it the pressure of upholding this real-life figure who is still alive, and people have opinions about her and what her role is, but you're also creating this role in the shadow of somebody who is there and watching, correct? What was it like to meet Rita Marley? What did you glean from her?

[00:27:48]

Sometimes you meet someone and it feels like a film. I walked into her house and her back was turned to me and it felt like I'd imagine smoke underneath her and clouds above her. It just felt like I was walking into some heavenly space because she's just really quite angelic, actually, really peaceful and chill. I remember when I stepped in, I'd only been there for a minute, and her daughter, Sharon, was like, Mom says that she's really happy that you're here, and she says that you have the energy, whatever that means. I was like, The energy.

[00:28:22]

The energy? The energy. Did you know what the energy was? Or are you like, Oh, what am I giving off? Is it pheromones? Is it vibe? Tell me what the energy is. Tell me what the energy is. Exactly.

[00:28:35]

Can you just describe that to me so I know that I'm in the right place? Like, have I got the wrong address? Because I don't know what I'm doing. No, it was like a meeting of spirits, it felt like, because when I did eventually sit down with her, I left my book that had three pages of notes in it in my bag and just sat on the floor and crossed my legs and just looked up to her almost like a little a school girl looking at a teacher and just soaked her in, soaked in her spirit and her energy. It reminded me that this process has to... I have to kick the actor thing to the side and realize that I'm a vessel bringing this incredible woman's life or slice of her life to the globe. Like you said, Bob Marley, there's information for days on the internet about him. With Rita Marley, you know, unfortunately, culturally, Probably less so, but it was an opportunity for me to give the world an education on how incredible she is and how meaningful she is to our culture in Jamaica and in the continent of Africa. She's just so powerful, and her voice has been doing all sorts of...

[00:29:46]

It's like her voice is like that phone. It's just like... This is what you feel. Do you know what I mean?

[00:29:53]

Was that the energy?

[00:29:54]

It's just the energy. That's what I'm talking about. The energy was exactly that. Thank you so much for that cue.

[00:29:59]

It was really well Sometimes. You've described an intimacy with a person that, unfortunately, I don't know if I've ever experienced with another human being in my own life. That came off like a cry for help. It's okay. Is it okay? You really bring it out of people, don't you? You're welcome. Oh, my God.

[00:30:16]

Take a minute. He's just going to take a second.

[00:30:18]

Oh, God. I didn't learn enough in my acting classes. Shall I take over? Thank you. Yes. Yeah, good. Please. Did you get notes on set from family members?

[00:30:33]

Yeah. You did. Yeah, we did. No, but I needed them. I really needed them because as an actor, you do your research and you sit with the character. We had eight months, I think, myself and Kingsley, to sit with it, have the conversations, develop her, speak with Rita Marley again. Then we had Ziggy Marley and Sadella Marley on set, near and every day, just to tweak things, to give us the accuracy and to give us the guidance and the confidence that we needed because we're playing real legends here, and we didn't want to do anything by chance and make anything up that wasn't realistic. Every so often, I'd go to the monitor and be like, Do I sound like your mom? Would your mom say this? Do I feel like your mom today?

[00:31:22]

Am I your mom today? Tell me right now.

[00:31:27]

He'd be like, Yeah, all good. I'm all good. Of course, in my act as self, I'd go away and be like, I'm not like his mom. I'm terrible. I don't know what's happening.

[00:31:34]

Was he just in the back being like, Mom, no mom, mom, no mom. No, no. That's pretty good.

[00:31:41]

Basically, yeah. Until we got to the end of the shoot and I thought, You know what? We've done a good job in telling this story. We have an hour and 45, roughly, to tell a whole life, 36 years of this man. We were able to do it in a really succinct way, and I'm proud of it. I'm proud of Kingsley He's a brilliant boy.

[00:32:01]

It is. It's a beautiful movie, and it really brings you into his life, and you bring it out wonderfully. Bob Marley, One Love is in theaters now. Lashana Lynch. We'll take a quick break, and we'll be right back after this.
