Obviously, the days gave economy sprung, alchemy, alas, for anyone who lost their companies We must make sure that our notions of propriety, urging the smallest of small businesses, receive timely. And suspend I'm sorry. Mr ever yes yeah. Ok, it's very easy, never see anyone. Look let's! Ok, I'm all I'd like how does it happen with a laptop upside down with the upside down like we
Well, you zoom, that's! Not even an option is on the code them so like we will use a zoom for over three years. I've never seen anyone do anything close to this. I get embarrassed or muted on zoom. This guy is a whole different dimension. Still. it a great speaker just as long as Congress never had to attach a pdf to an email, but let's move watch. Our next story is little dark. Honestly, it might be a little too dark for me to talk about. We know we can talk about it, egos auto eagle don t this export. Let's talk about aeroplanes, you no harm the airplane. They got that big door to the cockpit and they keep a long time now. get in? They don't want anyone in there to try to grab the controls right, so they keep the door unlocked and that works unless the guy that wants to crash the plane is already in the cockpit
and that's what happened here this morning, the off duty pilot accused of trying to take down a passenger plane heading to court to face more than one hundred charges, including eighty three counts of attempted murder. Forty four year old, Joseph emerson, allegedly trying to crash an alaska airlines flight from everett washington to san francisco on sunday with eighty four people onboard the country or around the concord emerson sitting in the jump seat of the Embraer e one. Seventy five 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 hold on wait. Why is there a handle that crashes? wayne who asked for that, and it also
after the news very explicitly show us, where this hand, with the way he pulled this lever. No, not that one that one over there, the big one on the left. You have to pull it hard, though, and in order to get into the cockpit use code, two seven one three that works for all right. Well, listen! It's time! For some financial news, the daily show is a serious show. I know some people expect me to come out here and do my thing. Why just rose people by that I have before it. But this is a serious issue. Is a serious chair series desk and now I'm gonna give you some important financial news so important to have to put on my spectacles.
Poor on a serious financial news, radio host dj envy now distancing himself from an alleged multi million dollar fraud scheme.

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.
dj every he's in trouble for real estate fraud. What a serious story! It's definitely not funny. This, certainly nothing personal. That makes a funny to me satellite regime accosted me on the radio for making a little joke about him and his wife was only thought. we're friends. So are you going the kid and then got so mad. You locked himself in the studio for the rest of it, shone and told the booty security. That was a threat, but even if that happened, that's all in the past, Apparently the news dj envy my go to jail for an alleged ponzi steam flipping houses, new jersey, that's not hilarious is tragic because he's just a dj I mean there's no way he could have known. He might have been involved in a ponzi scheme right that is a realistic one. Three people, a clue, echoed fabulous.

many of us are very turner revealed how it's been getting back in the day to gain. I've had to learn a few lessons. My granddaughters have been helpful. I had blown up on some of the images and some of the more trendy words that are used right now.

Taking trips in hot air balloons, forcing women play pickle ball to impress me seriously tackle ball Oh really, my only problem with the show is the guy they chose to be the golden bachelor.

My everybody will bear here you I have my own. We have to show his blood ghastly upon job and he I'm here with the producer bugger up a beggar. What we do and what is this
the little pod joe. It's everything you love about the late, Joe, the monologue, the lead guest, and if I am I correct about this, that you actually get things in the podcast, often that aren't on the show, because we had to cut things for time and so you get more guest or you might even get some some jokes or some more meanwhile, or something like that, we didn't get a chance, are certainly conversations with the louis and the band that you don't get.

Thank you. Listen to the late show! Poncho. stephen colbert wherever you get your podcast? I use the internet.
The best thing also finally, to the national book award. Please My man not quatermain arza, ready now full disclosure you currently residing liberal, though the loser, because you see the drip need wonder Your first novel tell us about it. Can super popular everyone. Well, that's all I want to talk to us. I haven't you wanted
once I read that book already. So what am I gonna? Thank you. I appreciate it so my first novel was about an imagined future in which convicted wards of state can opt out of a sentence of at least twenty five years and participate in death matches. So it's really about abolition. Prison system, but in a fun way, so basically incarcerated people can fight to the death to become free. They become gladiators and they're fighting for their freedom. Yeah yeah don't give Eric Adams. That idea of the wallet- this is a satirical book. Eric Adams, please
Is it hard to write a dystopian novel because we're kinda living in a dystopian novel right now bro? It is crazy to see it. I started this book about seven years ago, almost eight years ago and in the process of writing it, you, I sort of watched the world, become more and more aware of some of the things I was thinking about, because it was coming more and more true we're seeing just how heinous the system was in so many different ways, and so it's and it's difficult, but also makes me feel, like you know, maybe I'm doing something that needs to be done. Got you out in your book. It's a for profit, prison system gap in Jakarta, similar to honour the nfl new, see yes, No, I mean I think
in general are sort of consumer culture where we had this idea, where people's bodies are things for us to be entertained by, we ve got really comfortable just viewing humans as a means to an end. You know our outside of it being a means. An an end in themselves, so I think the nfl is particularly heinous. I think, like that's like the big juggernaut of Evil white men telling black bodies to go, hurt yourself, but I mean the paradigm exists in a lot of other places too got you got you and in this book your protagonist is a black woman. Yes, was that a conscious choice? Absolutely it was. I think that is a particular way in which the black woman can be both respected, but also disrespected in the same breath. I think if you think about Serena Williams, both Serena Williams and lebron, for example- understand a particular way of existing in the world, but I think serena understand something particular to her, which is
ways being sort of like disrespected or reduced to sexuality, her image and so many other type of little weird little jab that they give her. I think that that intersection of of being a woman being an athlete being someone who is in the eye of the public, all those things one important for this book, and so it made sense for the protagonists to be a woman that makes sense. Okay, I recently hosted a gala for the bronx defenders or their public defenders in the bronx year. Hence the name to play. Her father was also defence attorney. You happy was did that affect your view on the criminal justice. It absolutely actually do You told me about how he was in the middle east someone who had committed murder fashion. I remember thinking being like dang like ok. I guess my father's a villain he's a bad guy, and I remember him telling me it's not that simple. and just in that little moment I was probably like eleven tennis little scene was planted. I think, is a big part of how this book canopy,
How satisfying does it feel to actually complete your first book? Omar? it's it's the biggest for war, beyond the day where I sent it in It's like Dun, Dun, Dun Dun is bigger than any reward I can get. So I'm just grateful it's out there. I'm grateful people are reading ungrateful. People are thinking about the prison system and how it can maybe be more compassionate. So that's really the big gift. Okay, this might be a little That's what you marry kill! Tony morrison tsar neo harrison changeable, my english. You don't kill me tony's, the god, and so I want to marry her and then I feel bad humans, hey, Neil Hurston and I would have
related yeah, boo, hoo right back, the hey everybody, Stephen Colbert. Here I have my own. We have to show his podcast the little pod job and I'm here with a producer, becca becca. What do we do? What is this?
