Desus lets go lets go welcome to the daily show im your host this week, whats my name . [crowd says desus nice ] desus thats right. Its great to be back hosting for a second night. I got to say, it is kind of like we are in a relationship now. Im getting pretty comfortable here, you know . I might start taking a dump with the door open. Hell, i might be taking a dump right now you dont know. Anyway, weve got a great show for you tonight. So lets get into headlines [cheers and applause] lets kick things off in congress, where today, republicans were once again trying to pick a new speaker. After Kevin Mccarthy was kicked out, and Steve Scalise failed, and jim jordan also failed, today they nominated some poor bastard named tom emmer. This dude was their nominee for 4 hours then he dropped out. Martin scorsese and her making movies that last longer than speaker candidates. If you saw this afternoon, you missed this dudes entire nomination. Personally, i was disappointed. I was looking forward to tom and tom emmer being speaker. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. Thank you, madam chairman. I hope the strike will last more than 5 minutes. Todays gig economy sprung up from the last recession, offering a job to anyone who wants. During covid19, we must make sure that our nation providers in the smallest of Small Businesses receive timely gentlemen, suspend. I am sorry. Mr. Emmer, are you okay . Desus [laughs] yo. Does he look okay . Ive never seen anyone look less okay in my life. How does that even happen . Was the laptop upside down . Was he upside down . We all use a zoom. That is not even an option in zoom. He had to code that himself. We have been using zoom for over three years, i have never seen anyone do anything close to that. Like, i get embarrassed when i am muted on zoom. This guys and a whole different dimension still, he would have made a great speaker. Just as long as Congress Never had to attach a pdf to an email. But lets move on to our next story. Its a little dark. Obviously, might be a little too dark for me to talk about. You know who can talk about it . My alterego dark desus we have a special effects budget, clearly. Lets talk about airplanes. You know how on the airplane theyve got that big door to the cockpit, and they keep that locked tight so no one can get in . They dont want anybody trying to grab the controls, right, so they keep that door locked. And that works. Unless the guy who wants to crash the plane is already in the cockpit . And that is what happened here. This morning, the offduty pilot accused of trying to take down a passenger plane heading to court to face more than 100 charges including 83 counts of attempted murder. 44yearold Joseph Emerson allegedly trying to crash an Alaska Airlines flight from everett, washington, to San Francisco on sunday with 84 people on board. We got the guy that tried to shut the engines down out of the cockpit. Emerson sitting in the jump seat of the embraer e175 cockpit situated right behind this instrument console between the captain and copilot. According to a federal official, he allegedly tried to pull the engine fire extinguisher handles located right here before being subdued by the flight crew. Desus hold on, wait . [laughs] why is there a handle that crashes the plane . Like, who asked for that . And also, why does the news very explicitly show us where his hand is . They were like, he pulled this letter. Not that one, that one over there. The big one on the left. You have to pull it hard, though. In order to get to the cockpit, use code 2173. That works for all planes. Listen, it is time for some financial news. The daily show is a serious show. I know some people expected me to come on here and do my thing where i just roast people i have beef with, but this is a serious show, this is a serious chair. Serious desk. Now i will give you some important financial news. So important, i have to put on my spectacles. Financial news. Popular radio host dj envy now distancing himself from an alleged multimilliondollar fraud scheme. Desus not d. J. Envious . That was never on my radar. Go on federal agents arresting his longtime friend and onetime Business Partner caesar pina in new jersey on charges of wire fraud, accusing him of a ponzilike real estate scheme that allegedly defrauded investors out of millions. Pina often appeared on the breakfast club, a top 20 iheart radio show with millions of listeners and youtube subscribers to promote real estate investment. He also held seminars and created youtube videos with dj envy. Dj envy has not been charged in connection with the case, but many of the alleged victims say they were influenced by his celebrity status. Desus mm, mm, mm. Wow, dj envy is in trouble for real estate fraud. What a serious story. Its definitely not funny. Theres certainly nothing personal that makes it funny to me. Its not like raashaun accosted me on the radio for making a little joke about him and his wife, which i only did because i thought we were friends. Its not like he called me a dickhead and then got so mad, he locked himself in the studio for the rest of the show and then told the Building Security that i was a threat. Even if that happened, that was all in the past. [applause] im just reading the news. Listen and apparently, the news is, d. J. Nevada might go to jail for a ponzi scheme flipping houses in new jersey. Thats not hilarious. Its tragic, because hes just a dj. Theres no way he could have known he might have been involved in a ponzi scheme. Right . When i got into real estate, i called three people. I called clue, i called fabolous and i called joe budden. Joe budden told me it was a ponzi scheme and i was going to jail. Funny. Desus that clip is not funny. We are not laughing at this. Or asking whos the dickhead now. Im being serious. Look at these spectacles. This could have happened to anybody. Whenever i am doing financial transactions, i also get advice from joe budden, fabulos and, dj clue. Everyone knows those are the Lehman Brothers of hiphop. And look, i dont want envy to go to prison. I mean, imagine getting locked up for one of the least cool crimes in hip hop history. This is a Property Brothers ass crimes. Forget the blood scum he is going to have to join the house hunters. Again, im just doing the news. And the news is that dj envy is a dj, a man who turns tables. And now the tables have turned. [cheers and applause] for more on this alleged crime, lets go to one of these allege a, with dulce sloan [cheers and applause] dulce [cheers and applause] dulce, you got to feel sorry for the people that lost all that money. [laughs] no, i dont. Listen. I feel bad for ugly people, i feel bad for orphans who cant sing, but these people their money to a dj. You cant trust a d. J. With money. You can barely trust a dj to dj you should be flipping records, not houses. I should know, i went on a date with a d. J. Come because who hasnt . And he gave me the check. I asked if he was going to pay. He said, sorry, i dont take requests. Desus i hear you. People gotta keep their money where its safe. Like banks and other investments. Desus what . No. Wall street is going to mess your money up like no one else. Bank of america, stealing your money. Silicon bank . Collapse. Goldman sachs . Guess what their ceo does on the side . Hes a [bleep] dj [laughter and applause] desus good lord. You cant trust wall street. They screw you over and its legal. Desus so what am i supposed to do with my money . Oh, its easy, friend you leave your money at the bank of dulce or el banco de dulce sponsored by telemundo. Listen, ill offer you a safe place for any of your financial deposits. Okay, what Interest Rates are you offering . Oh, nuhuh. Theres none of that. Im gonna keep it under my mattress, just like my grandma. Who is also our head of security. 100 safe. Desus and youre not going to spend my money, right . Im going to spend some of your money because i am taking on all the risk. Desus what risk . What you mean . I am putting a bank in my house it is risky as hell. You will maybe lose a little bit but not as much as youd lose with dj envy. Desus come on, money on your mattress . Do you even have fdic insurance . Oh, trust me i f some dic on that mattress all the time. So you good. Desus deal dulce sloan, everybody. When we come back, lewis black watches the golden bachelor.

When that happens, lewis black catches it for a segment we call back in black. [cheers and applause] getting old isnt fun. My back hurts, my mind sucks. There are some perks to aging, but i cant [bleep] remember them i guess one of the upsides is that i can get away with shoplifting. If i get caught, i just do the Mitch Mcconnell thing and pretend my brains leaking out of my ears. [applause] but recently, old people have an even better thing to enjoy. Get ready for a bit of a spin on abcs long running show, the bachelor. This time around, its a 71yearold man looking for love. Its a new twist on a classic show. After 20 years of the bachelor on abc, 71yearold gerry turner is the first golden bachelor. 22 women, aged 60 and older, will step into the spotlight hoping to find love with the golden bachelor. Hes gerry. And im your first golden bachelor. Finally, a dating show where all the contestants are just like me old and willing to degrade themselves on camera. Now if you are wondering if he is one of those cool old guys, hes not. None of us are gerry turner revealed how its been getting back into the dating game. Ive had to learn a few lessons. My granddaughters have been helpful. I had to bone up on some of the emojis and some of the more trendy words that are used right now. Oh, i feel ya, gerry. Theres a lot of new slang out there. But its pretty simple. Cringe means awkward. Mid means mediocre. And rizz is something i got from a hooker in the 80s. Dont worry. Penicillin cleared that rizz right up. And emojis are easy, gerry this means penis. This means penis. This means penis. This is a guy getting a haircut, although i use it to mean penis now, ill be honest. As an older gentleman in my, well, lets say, 40s, it is nice to see a tv show that really nails senior dating. I cant tell you how often im going on horseback rides, taking trips in hot air balloons, and forcing women to play pickleball to impress me seriously pickleball . [bleep] pickleball [cheers and applause] really, my only problem with this show is the guy they chose to be the golden bachelor. Well, hes a [bleep] shmuck whooo im fired up today i get to play pickleball every door that opened was like the best christmas ever. You dont stop believing thats great. You just dont stop believing. I like to dance. Okay, come on, youre so good already what do you say to guys who have really only known you a short time that tell you youre a really sexy woman . Oh, christ. This guy is like if the word geewillikers became a person. Seriously, gerry. Stop talking about your emotions. Were boomers, you dickhead. Just get drunk and wonder where your life went wrong in silence dignified silence i am talking to you, gerry. And i do have to give credit to this show. The golden bachelor is proof that people of any age can be milked for drama. Hes gonna send you home. Woman i want to wring the little ones neck. In her mind, gerry is hers. Were getting a little bit jealous. You know, people arent necessarily very nice. You made it sound like you chose me. This just isnt worth all of it. I cant keep going like this. I just dont have the connection that i did. Im sorry. Oh, my god. How is this happening . D what the [bleep] is this . To quote Mitch Mcconnell. This show is beyond disturbing. The golden bachelor . I would rather watch a Golden Shower. Really . Seriously . That is your reaction is kind of a whiny reaction . Are you serious . Golden bachelor set up Golden Shower you serve them that before you even came in here [applause] well, at least those people are having fun my generation is a bunch of idiots. But we dont need to prove it again, not on prime time. And the scary thing is, this show could be my future. Is this where i end up, when my the daily show contract finally runs out in 2045 . It certainly has good ratings, which means we could be getting more reality tv spinoffs, like the amazing race the walk to the mailbox. Or, masterchef senior foods you can gum. Or, naked and afraid and suffering from dementia. And of course, survivor well, maybe until thursday. My point is, we dont need a show that makes old people look cool and happy. Any old person tells you, these are the best years of their lives needs to be institutionalized. And if they are going to make ten more seasons of this shit, they are going to need to legalize euthanasia. Desus . Desus thank you, lewis.

[cheers and applause] desus welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is a bestselling author whose latest book, chaingang allstars, is a finalist for the National Book award. Please welcome my man, nana kwame adjeibrenyah [cheers and applause] wow okay, okay now full disclosure, you currently reside in what burl . The bronx desus yes, sir [cheers and applause] im only telling you all because if you see the drip, you wonder. [laughter] your first novel, tell us about it . You are super popular, everyone i talk to, i say im having you on the show and everyone is like, i read that book already. Thank you, i appreciate it. My first novel is an imagined future in which convicted wards of state can opt out of the future of a least 25 years and participate in death matches. It is really about abolition of prison system, but in a fun way fun way. Desus [laughs] so basically, incarcerated people can fight to the death to become free . They become gladiators and they are fighting for their freedom, yet. Desus dont give eric adams that idea, man. [laughter] this is a satirical but no macbook, eric adams, please. Desus is it hard to write a dystopian novel because we are kind of living in a dystopian novel right now . Broke, it is crazy to see it. I started this book about seven years ago, almost eight years ago. In the process of writing it, yeah i sort of watched the world become more and more aware of some of the things i was thinking about because it was becoming more and more true, we were seeing just how heinous the system was in so many different ways. And so it is difficult, but also makes me feel like, you know, maybe i am doing something that needs to be done. Desus got you. In your book, it is a forprofit prison system, which is kind of similar to the nfl . Do you see any parallels there . Yes. [laughter] well, no, i mean, i think that in general, i sort of, the consumer culture, we have this idea where peoples bodies or things to be entertained by. We have become really comfortable viewing humans as a means to the end come outside of being a means to an end in and outside of themselves. I think the nfl is particularly heinous. I think that is the big juggernaut of evil white men selling black bodies. [applause] desus well. But i think that paradigm exist in a lot of other places too. Desus got you, guide you. In this book, your protagonist is a black woman . Yes. Desus without a conscious choice . Absolutely there was. I think there is a specific way in which a black woman can be respected and disrespected in the same breath. You think about serena williams, both she and lebron understand a particular way of being in the world but i think serena understand something to her, which is always being disrespected and reduced to something of sexuality, her image, that we are little jabs they give her. I think that intersection of being a woman, being an athlete, being someone who is in the eye of the public from all of those things are important for this book and so it makes sense for the protagonist to be a woman. Desus i recently hosted a gala for the bronx defenders, the public defenders in the bronx. But your father is also a defense attorney . Yeah, he was. Desus to that effect your view on the criminal justice . It absolutely did. He told me about how he was in the middle of defending someone who had committed a murder desus got you. I remember thinking, dang, i guess my father is a villain. He is a fat guy. I remember him telling me, it is not that simple. And just in that little moment, i was happily 11, tenish, a little seed was planted, a big part of how this book came to be. Desus how satisfying does it feel to complete your first book . Oh, my god. It is the biggest reward, to be honest. The day where i sent it an end it was done don, don don , i am just grateful it is out there. Im grateful people are reading it, grateful people are thinking about the prison system and how i could maybe be more compassionate, so that is the big gift. Desus this might be a little disrespectful to you. [bleep], mary, kale tori to toni morrison, zora neae hurston . James baldwin . Toni is a god so i want to marry her. And then i feel bad to even say it. Zora Neale Hurston and i would have some relations. Desus [laughs] [laughter] desus we will be right back [cheers and applause] you dont need the same duracell batteries that help power williams racing. car engine revving until you do. Duracell is a proud partner of williams racing. Chocolate and caramel. And a crunchy cookie . its more than more. Its more. groan errr yes its moreer vampire hissing hmm. Moreer.
