00:03From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news.
00:10This is The Daily Show with your host, Josh Johnson.
00:27Welcome to The Daily Show.
00:29I'm Josh Johnson.
00:31We've got so much to talk about tonight.
00:33The Voting Rights Act gets sent to a farm upstate.
00:35The race for California governor is more packed than an L.A. freeway.
00:39And we'll tell you which body part Trump has started teasing people about.
00:44It's not the tank, all right?
00:46That was my first guess, too.
00:48So, let's get into the headlines.
00:54Let's start with the latest update on the war in Iran, which is that there is no update.
01:00It's still happening, you know?
01:01I'm starting to get worried about my river cruise this summer up the Strait of Hormuz.
01:08Man, I booked a balcony room, too.
01:11But don't worry, because Donald Trump is doing everything he can to wrap it up.
01:15We're having talks with him now, and we're not flying anymore with 18-hour flights every time we want to
01:20see a piece of paper.
01:22We're doing it telephonically, and it's very nice.
01:31Telephonically?
01:33Damn, that's an impressive word, you know?
01:36Makes anyone with a phone sound like a wizard.
01:40I order to large meat lovers telephonically.
01:45Now, to be clear, that is a word, but he didn't know that.
01:51He talks the way I play Scrabble, you know?
01:54Just like, oh, wow.
01:55Um, I was just throwing letters together.
01:58How many points is that?
02:00That was from yesterday, during an event Trump did with the Artemis astronauts and the chief of NASA.
02:06And we all know Trump loves space, so he has the utmost respect for these professionals.
02:10Sorry, are you considering relocating NASA's headquarters out of D.C.
02:15once the lease is up to states like Texas, Ohio, and Florida?
02:19Well, the best man to tell you that is the man standing right over here.
02:22Have you heard that question, with those beautiful ears of yours?
02:25He's got great hearing on him.
02:27He's got super hearing on him.
02:29Trick of the trade, sir.
02:36Wow.
02:38He's just standing there like, good one, sir.
02:43Haven't heard that since grade school, and I didn't think I'd hear it again, but I did.
02:50In my 40s.
02:52From the president.
02:54Trump just can't resist being a bully.
02:57He's sitting there like, hey, they say in space no one can hear you scream, except for this guy, right?
03:02He can definitely hear it.
03:03Am I right?
03:05Am I right?
03:07And by the way, these astronauts do not look happy to be there.
03:10They're like, this is the most uncomfortable I've ever felt, and two weeks ago I was pooping in zero gravity.
03:18But let's move on, because while Trump was ear-shaming astronauts, the Supreme Court was busy at work.
03:22This morning, the Supreme Court delivering a major blow to the landmark Voting Rights Act.
03:27The court's conservative majority ruling six to three that Louisiana's current congressional map with two majority African-American districts is
03:36unconstitutional, saying lawmakers allowed race to play a part in government decision-making.
03:41Democrats blasting the ruling, arguing that other majority black districts are now vulnerable to being erased.
03:49That's right.
03:50The Supreme Court saw that Louisiana had two whole black congressmen, and they were like, whoa, what is this, Showtime
03:57at the Apollo?
03:59Let's dial this back.
04:01But now, thanks to the Supreme Court, black districts are going to get erased all across the South, which is
04:07horrible for civil rights.
04:08But pretty great for all the new civil rights movies we're going to be making, you know?
04:12So this is fantastic from, like, a Denzel-only perspective.
04:17And obviously, the Supreme Court didn't come right out and say that states can be racist.
04:22Justice Palpatine isn't that dumb, all right?
04:25He played it much smoother.
04:27Justice Samuel Alito writing, race can only be taken into account when there's evidence that a state intentionally drew its
04:34districts to afford minority voters less opportunity because of their race.
04:38That's crazy, all right?
04:40So just to be clear, for Alito, the map is not racist unless the guy drawing it finishes it and
04:47goes, man, I'm racist.
04:53Now, if you're watching this whole thing unfold and you're thinking to yourself, this seems pretty racist, Republicans have great
05:00news for you.
05:01I think after 160 years of after the Civil War, it's time that we didn't have a race-based reason
05:08for doing things.
05:09In 2026, in the United States, the reasons to use race for line drawing deliberately that occurred to remedy discrimination
05:16in the South 50 years ago no longer exist in America.
05:20The court said you have to have modern examples of how voters have been racially discriminated against.
05:25And fortunately, America has come a long way since the 1960s.
05:28It has, fortunately.
05:29It's the end of pretending that this is a racist country.
05:37Racism's over.
05:41Oh, boy, I can finally use my real voice.
05:49What's up, dawg?
05:53I just thought when racism would be over, we'd hear about it from, like, a civil rights leader or something.
05:58Not a guy who looks like a racist version of the dad from Modern Family.
06:04It almost feels like we're going in reverse because the people from the 60s in black and white TV were
06:10like, wow, this country is being pretty racist.
06:12We should pass some legislation.
06:14And the people crippling that legislation are from now in 4K.
06:18Just so we're all aware, newscasters who would do reports like, that Jackie Robinson is the best colored player in
06:25the Negro League, believed in voting rights more than our representatives now.
06:29Now, what these people don't get is that to the extent that there's less discrimination now, it's partly because we
06:36have the VRA.
06:36So this is like my uncle, who threw away his medication because he said his heart wasn't bothering him anymore.
06:44And to be fair, he did stop having heart problems because he's dead.
06:51And one of the most brain-breaking things about this ruling is it's literally taking power from black people in
06:58the South.
06:59And it was voted for by a black guy from the South.
07:03Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is black.
07:06He might not know it, but he is black.
07:11How could you, of all people, vote for this, Clarence?
07:15You are like an uncle to all of us.
07:18Uncle Clarence Thomas.
07:21Uncle Thomas for short.
07:24Uncle Tom for shorter.
07:35But look, we don't have to pretend here.
07:37At the end of the day, we all know that this decision was not about moving on from race.
07:43This is the Supreme Court majority handing a win to Republicans.
07:47I know that.
07:48You know that.
07:49And the Republicans definitely know that because their leader said it out loud.
07:53Mr. President, I want to go back to the Supreme Court ruling on that Voting Rights Act.
07:56I know you said you haven't seen it.
07:57When did it come out?
07:58Just now?
07:58No, it came out this morning, but basically very much narrows the Voting Rights Act.
08:03Was it considered a win for a win?
08:04A win for a Republican.
08:05I love it.
08:08You could always count on Trump to get right to the point.
08:11Like, it's a win for Republicans.
08:13Did you guys hear that?
08:14I know this guy did.
08:18For more on the peeling back of the Voting Rights, we go live to Republican headquarters
08:22with Roddy Chang.
08:37Roddy, Roddy, what's the move like over there?
08:40Uh, it's pretty f***ing lit here, Josh.
08:43Yeah, they're partying like it's 1964.
08:46I'm talking multiple guys snorting cocaine off of Stephen Miller's penis.
08:53Oh, gross.
08:54Roddy, this is going to screw up the whole country.
08:56Oh, no, no, no, no.
08:57I don't think his penis is big enough to affect the whole country, Josh.
09:02No, not Stephen Miller's penis.
09:03I mean the Supreme Court ruling.
09:05Oh, oh, right, right, right.
09:07Hey, hey, guys, guys.
09:08Hey, I'm filing a report here.
09:10Can you take it to the Oval Office?
09:13Okay, thank you.
09:14Jeez.
09:14Sorry, Josh.
09:16Yeah, what were you saying about Stephen Miller's penis?
09:19I wasn't.
09:20Black people are being disenfranchised.
09:22Aren't you worried about Asian people too?
09:24Uh, no.
09:26Why the f*** would I want more Asians in Congress?
09:31Congress is basically a nursing home for pedophiles.
09:33Like, what are Asians going to do?
09:36Hang out and get horrible hand jobs from Lauren Boebert?
09:41I can do that myself.
09:44You really think Asians want to sling back Jell-O and applesauce with James Clyburn?
09:49No, thank you.
09:51But we need to get people in Congress.
09:53Congress is where the people have the power to change things.
09:56Oh, the power to change things?
09:58Oh, look, everybody.
10:00Well, Congress, we're gonna pass bills and fix problems.
10:03What the f*** is this?
10:04A Schoolhouse Rock episode?
10:07Dude, Congress doesn't do s***, okay?
10:10They don't pass laws.
10:12They don't stop Trump from starting wars.
10:13Congress couldn't even pass the funds to scoop that turd off of Nancy Pelosi's desk.
10:19Okay, but we have to do something.
10:21How do we push back if we can't get into Congress?
10:23Money!
10:24Money!
10:25Duh!
10:26Josh, you ever heard of it?
10:27It's called moolah.
10:29It's the most powerful branch of government.
10:32You want your voice heard?
10:33Just get super rich, and you can buy whatever politician you want.
10:36You can even make them do stuff.
10:38You can probably get Ted Cruz to vote on your bill or punch his own dick.
10:44Okay, I'm listening.
10:47But how do we get rich enough to buy the politicians?
10:50Okay, look, one simple way is to inside the trade, okay?
10:54And the easiest way to do that is to get elected to Congress.
11:01Oh, f***.
11:02All right, well.
11:03Ronnie Chang, everybody.
11:07When we come back, we check in on the midterm, so don't go away.
11:28Welcome back to The Daily Show.
11:30The midterm elections are just a few months away,
11:33so to analyze all the campaign stories, we turn to Jordan Klepper, who is in our new indecision analyzone.
11:45I'm Jordan Klepper, and this is the Anal A-Zone.
11:5170% sure that's how you pronounce it.
11:54Tonight, we're talking about the election for governor in California.
11:58And after frontrunner Eric Swalwell dropped out to spend more time with his lawsuits,
12:03this race is wide open.
12:05For the first time in 20 years, a Republican could win statewide office.
12:09And because of California's jungle primary, Democrats could wind up shut out of the general election
12:14if none of them make it to those top two slots.
12:17Okay, sure, a Republican could win, but this is California.
12:22All the Democrats have to do is find a candidate with the slightest bit of charisma.
12:26And this thing is just over.
12:28How about former HHS Secretary Javier Becerra?
12:32Just finished a session to talk about the governor's race.
12:36I'm at the theater.
12:38Finished my session.
12:40I deserve a little treat.
12:49Yikes.
12:51This feels like running into your math teacher at the mall.
12:55Wow, great to see you out, Mr. Becerra.
12:59Cool drink.
13:00Okay, fine, fine.
13:01How about you, billionaire Tom Snyder?
13:04Let's see if you have that California cool.
13:11Hello?
13:12Shh.
13:26I never thought I'd say this, but I think I prefer the real love, actually.
13:32Okay, you know what?
13:33We're looking for someone with a little more energy here.
13:36How about Katie Porter?
13:37I don't want to keep doing this.
13:39I'm going to call it.
13:42You're not going to do the interview with us?
13:44Nope, not like this.
13:45I'm not.
13:46Okay, all right.
13:48Maybe not that kind of energy.
13:49I just want a real human being.
13:53How about you, Matt Mahan?
13:55Some mayors have photos at the airport in the cities they represent.
13:59Others have plaques.
14:01Here in the capital of Silicon Valley, I have a hologram.
14:04Mr. Mayor, what are your thoughts on giving me a raise this year?
14:09I'm focused on welcoming visitors and sharing hands with me.
14:12Oh, man.
14:15It's going to be really strange when a new mom goes into that pod to breastfeed before her
14:19flight.
14:21Hi, I'm Digital Mayor Matt Mahan.
14:23It looks like you're whipping out your bazongas to nurture your child.
14:27Can I help you with that?
14:29I mean, you see the problem?
14:30You know, all these Dems are riz-less, and it's left the door open for Republicans, like
14:35this guy, Sheriff Chad Bianco.
14:37Now, his vibe is kind of all the village people at once.
14:43And I will admit, Chad Bianco is a very strong name.
14:48It's the kind of name that gives you permission to speak about yourself in the third person.
14:53Chad Bianco will have the sea bass.
14:55Thank you very much.
14:56So you know what?
14:57Let's hear it from this macho man himself.
14:59Chad Bianco, what are you bringing to the table?
15:02I am the anti-thesis to California state government.
15:06Ooh, you whiffed on that antithesis there, Chad.
15:12You know what?
15:13I guess that's why this primary is somehow being led by Republican Steve Hilton, who,
15:19despite what you might think, isn't part of the hotel family or the Moby family.
15:25No.
15:26Hilton is a former Fox News host, and he's got Donald Trump's endorsement, which would put
15:31him at odds with most California voters.
15:33So, he must have a background that resonates with them.
15:36It all started with freedom.
15:39I was born in England.
15:40My earliest political memory was Mrs. Thatcher.
15:44Oh.
15:44Okay.
15:45He was born in England.
15:47But I'm assuming he came to America as a young boy?
15:51My parents were so proud when I made it to Oxford University.
15:54And then, when I got a job with the Conservative Party, working for Margaret Thatcher.
16:00Oh.
16:01Okay.
16:03Still in England, uh, through college, worked for Margaret Thatcher, et cetera, et cetera.
16:07Okay, then, but, but then, then it was, it was time to move to America.
16:10I started a business, even a couple of restaurants.
16:14Later, I helped elect a prime minister.
16:17Worked in 10 Downing Street.
16:18Wait, when the f*** did this guy move to America?
16:22Is he running for governor or govna, huh?
16:27Did he decide to enter the race on the flight over?
16:31Do you have anything to clear at customs?
16:34Uh, yeah, my candidacy for govna in California.
16:38Okay, so, when did this guy finally move here?
16:42In 2012, we moved to America, to California.
16:462012?
16:48The office came to America before he did.
16:52And on behalf of the Comedy Central Programming Department, we thank you.
16:58All right, Stevie, enough about merry old England.
17:00What's your vision for California?
17:02Great jobs, great homes, great kids.
17:04Great jobs, great homes, great kids.
17:07Great jobs, great homes, great kids.
17:09Great kids?
17:11This British guy just fell out of the sky,
17:14and now he's gonna tell you how to raise your kids?
17:16He's like bald Mary Poppins over here.
17:20Hello, hello, I'll fix up your wake of kids.
17:23Cheerio, innit?
17:24Look, you might not care which of these freaks or duds gets elected as governor,
17:29but you should.
17:30Because of California's size and economic might,
17:32their laws often affect the rest of us.
17:35And handing that power to the wrong person
17:37is simply the, the, what's the word?
17:41The anti-thesis.
17:43Yes.
17:45It's the anti-thesis of what we want.
17:51Thank you, Jordan.
17:52When we come back, Lizzie will be joining me on the show.
17:55Don't go away.
18:07Welcome back to The Daily Show.
18:09My guest tonight is a legendary rapper, producer, and founder of the Wu-Tang Clan.
18:14He wrote and directed the new film One Spoon of Chocolate.
18:17I'm telling you this, because if you want to live,
18:22I suggest you leave this town immediately.
18:33I came to Ohio because I have nowhere else to go, man.
18:38You can stand here, or you can leave.
18:45I can stand here and fight for what's mine.
18:49Please welcome RZA.
19:12You're really here.
19:16Thank you so much for coming.
19:18My pleasure.
19:19I appreciate you.
19:19Oh, and congratulations to you and all of Wu-Tang
19:23getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
19:25Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
19:27How you gonna do that?
19:29I know.
19:30That was, uh, that made me feel like a kid again.
19:33You know?
19:34Like, out of all things of this year,
19:35when I got that news,
19:37the little kid in me just bubbled up and just came in.
19:40I had the biggest Kool-Aid smile you could see.
19:42That was a big moment for me.
19:44I'm so glad.
19:45Like, it just seems like when you have such a, like, a legendary story career and you rack up all
19:51these achievements over a catalog,
19:53it's like, sometimes you wonder if people just get used to the, to, like, that love and that recognition.
19:58But it's nice that, you know, accolades, certain accolades just really hit you harder.
20:03You know what I mean?
20:03Yeah.
20:04This is one of those.
20:05Yeah.
20:05That's awesome.
20:06That's awesome.
20:07Congratulations again.
20:07Before we go forward, let me take a moment, too, and say congratulations to you.
20:11I've been watching this show.
20:12You're doing a great job, man.
20:14That's when it's safe.
20:24I honestly don't know if we're going to top that.
20:26I think maybe we should.
20:27I have so much that I want to talk to you about.
20:30Your movie, A Spoon, One Spoon of Chocolate, the way that you constructed this movie, the way that you built
20:38it together, you've been working on this since 2012.
20:40Yes.
20:41And I'm curious how many times something changes and something evolves over that much time.
20:48Because it's one thing if you take this much time for a first draft, but, like, you're shooting and you're
20:55probably reshooting.
20:56Like, what changed about the story as you started to tell it?
20:59I mean, the story evolved, but, you know, times have changed.
21:04And by the time we got to set in 2024, I think, when we finally got to set to shoot
21:11it, I just felt like the story had become pure.
21:18Like, as an artist, you've got to let yourself become a vessel.
21:21And sometimes you try to force the music out, and it's a bad note.
21:24But if you sit there and wait for it to come through, it comes out as a beautiful song or
21:30for this particular thing, a beautiful movie, yo.
21:33And thanks to Shamik Moore, Paris Jackson, Blair Underwood, and a great cast of others, man, I think I got
21:41something that is timely and on time at the same time.
21:46Yeah, absolutely.
21:48Absolutely.
21:53The other thing that I'm really interested about when it comes to process is that, you know, for your music,
21:59you're taking so many different things, so many different influences.
22:02You've got, like, New York grit.
22:03You've got jazz.
22:04You've got, like, Asian film culture mixing it all together.
22:07I like how you think it is.
22:08Yeah, and I'm wondering if for the movie, you almost make it the same way, where you take a bunch
22:13of these influences and you wrap it up into something new.
22:16That is how I do it, and that's a great way to do it.
22:19You know, a story could be told like a song.
22:22You could write a song.
22:23You could make it acoustic.
22:24You could make it with a bass and drum, or you could make it with a hip-hop beat.
22:29So with a film, the story that I created remained the same, but the style, the talent.
22:34So I went and pulled ideas or cinematography ideas from classic movies in the 70s, movies in the 80s.
22:42There's a shot in my movie that is inspired by a movie called Christine.
22:48So that's a horror film about a car.
22:52Now, my movie is not about that, right?
22:55But the way the headlights were in that movie when I saw it as a kid, I wanted my film
23:02to have that same headlight effect.
23:03So when the audience is watching it, and this truck that's kind of going through the town, when they see
23:08those lights, they go, uh-oh, something about that happening now.
23:11You know what I mean?
23:12So that's the beauty of cinema.
23:15I like to call myself a hip-hop director, because in hip-hop, I sample, sample, sample.
23:20So in cinema, I can do the same thing, sample different elements to tell my story.
23:24Got you.
23:25Got you.
23:25That's amazing.
23:26And, you know, this thing seems like such a, I mean, you already said pure, like such a holy passion
23:37project.
23:38You know, you directed, you produced, you did the music.
23:42Like, so much went into this one project, right?
23:46Yeah.
23:48Well, first of all, I had a great team, all right?
23:51It's executive produced by Quentin Tarantino, all right?
23:54I went and got legendary producer Paul Hall, who did movies like Higher Learning and Schaaf and some Tyler Perrys.
24:03And what I wanted to do was to surround myself with people that could let me do my thing, but
24:11if I went on the guardrails, they could be like,
24:13yo, hold on, bro, push a little to the left, push a little to the right.
24:16So writing is one thing, and directing is another.
24:20But most directors, when they get stuck on a scene or a script, they go, hold on, let me call
24:24the writer.
24:25So I was like, okay, let me just talk to myself.
24:28You know what I mean?
24:29So hold on, hold on, let me figure this out.
24:32Yeah, we could do it this way.
24:34So that was the benefit.
24:35And then one of the beauties of this, Josh, is that my wife is a producer.
24:41And so my office is right here.
24:43Her office is right there.
24:45Her office is much nicer than my office.
24:49Flowers and all that.
24:51But when there was something that I personally felt challenged with, I could go knock on the producer's door, go
24:58sit in her office and sneak a kiss.
25:01And they go back to work.
25:02Yeah.
25:04And you, when you were directing this, you had to direct white people to be very, very racist.
25:14Was that awkward to, like, be like, I'm not feeling it from your heart?
25:20You know what?
25:21No, no, there's some scenes in this movie where, you know, when you do a film, you get H&R,
25:26right?
25:27Human resources, and you got to have these speeches.
25:29And there are scenes and times where we had to have meetings.
25:34My cast, my main villain is played by Harry Goodwins.
25:38And he plays a very dangerous, racist white guy in this film.
25:43And he's married to a black woman with two children.
25:46And he's from London.
25:47Yeah.
25:48Okay?
25:48So he had to, you know, really act out some of this stuff.
25:52And he's one of the nicest guys I ever met.
25:54So when you're an actor, you have to take on that role.
25:58And there's one scene in the film where my buddy James Thompson, James Thomas, who plays, like, one of the
26:05most ruthless guys in the film.
26:07And he, you know, he just seemed like he got lost a little into it.
26:11You know, he was like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
26:15Did he say anything that wasn't in the script?
26:18Yeah.
26:19There was one word that wasn't in, well, it wasn't that it wasn't in the script.
26:22It was like, okay, I had two of those in there.
26:25Yeah.
26:26He's, there's three of them.
26:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:28It's like, where'd that extra one come from?
26:33But it made the, it made Shamik Moore, because Shamik Moore is such a gentle soul.
26:40You know, he's a special guy.
26:41And this is my third project with him.
26:43And I just love the fact that, that, you know, he's now evolving to a, I call him a man
26:49actor versus being a young adult or a child actor.
26:53But when that energy came at him, and he, it's the same way he holds his basketball.
26:57He's going to pop this guy in the face with it.
27:01On one take, the ball slipped out a little early.
27:05You know what I mean?
27:05Like, but don't worry, the ball is plastic.
27:07It's not, it's not real.
27:08Right.
27:09But, but the point was that the energy that, that was starting to build up, it caused this visceral reaction.
27:16And for the cameras, that's what I want.
27:19You know, I know it's, I know it's delicate.
27:21I know that certain words, certain languages are trigger points.
27:25But this film is made to make you feel uncomfortable at times.
27:30It's made to feel, make you feel warm and relaxed when you see how young people can relate to each
27:36other.
27:36And how the older generation is holding on to old school shit that, uh, I can say that?
27:41Yeah, yeah.
27:43Yeah.
27:44Yeah.
27:50I'm like, okay, this is cable.
27:54I can, I can let this a little bit.
27:55Right.
27:56But holding on to old school, old school crap.
27:58I'm going to say that, that, that, that, that, uh, that, that's past, bro.
28:02Um, the film is like, let go of that.
28:05You know what I mean?
28:06And, and then there's moments in the film where no matter who you are, you're going to root for the
28:10hero.
28:11Because the insidious things that is happening in this film.
28:14You know, if you see yourself on the screen with some of the people that's doing the evil, you need
28:19to check yourself.
28:20Okay.
28:21And if you don't feel the, the, you know, there's a scene where Paris Jackson and Shamik Moore kind of
28:27like put their two hands together.
28:29And then, you know, they kind of embrace each other.
28:32And then a tear comes out of her eyes.
28:35I didn't tell her to cry, but the, the character, I know that she felt the weight of like, yo,
28:40what's going to happen to our town?
28:42What's going to happen to him?
28:43What's going to happen to me?
28:44When is the world going to wake up and realize that all men are created equal?
28:52Self-evident is self-evident as our forefathers wrote.
28:55It's that it's self-evident that all men are created equal.
28:58Black, white, red, brown, yellow man, and woe man.
29:02All created equal.
29:04Mm-hmm.
29:07That's, that's amazing.
29:10There is, there is also something on my mind.
29:13You created distribution for this film.
29:16Like, you, you have, what I would say is one of the, like, four most creative minds in doing deals.
29:25Like, whether, whether it was with Wu-Tang back in the day or it's what you're doing now, you always
29:30really think artist forward and, and like, the way that the artist can, can work without getting lost in, or
29:38whether it's jargon or legalese, whatever the thing is.
29:42And I see you making this distribution for yourself for the film.
29:45Is that something you want to do more broadly?
29:47Or did you feel like it was the only vehicle that you could get into theaters the way you want
29:52it?
29:52Well, it's a similar, it's a little bit of both.
29:54I wanted to make sure that, if I could go through the funnel first, I can widen it up a
29:59little bit, make it a little wider, and then get other artists to come through.
30:04You know, look, it's not easy making a movie.
30:06It's a 30-hurdle jump, all right?
30:08To get it in cinema, there's another 30-hurdle jump.
30:11I formed 36 Cinema and 36 Distribution to maybe make it a 12-hurdle jump.
30:16You got to jump something, all right?
30:17Yeah.
30:18But if I could simplify it a little bit and get more stories into the system and get more artists
30:24that chance to kind of be artists and not be caught up because of budget or because of even some
30:31gatekeeping, you know, some stereotypes of what a character can be.
30:36You know, I'm trying to, like, at least crack that door a little more so a little more could get
30:43in.
30:43You know what I mean?
30:43Absolutely.
30:44You are an incredible legend.
30:47And this film and all the things you're doing, the deals that you make, the people you uplift, just add
30:54to your legend.
30:54So thank you so much for being here.
30:56Good to see you.
30:56Good to see you.
31:01One Spoon of Chocolate will be in theaters May 1st.
31:04RZA.
31:05We're going to take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this.
31:20That's our show for tonight.
31:21Now, here it is.
31:22Your moment is in.
31:23Thank you, Chair Howard Schneider with Reuters.
31:26You mentioned that staying on as a governor, you intend to keep a low profile.
31:30I'm just wondering if you could give us a little more detail on what that looks like and how you
31:35can.
31:36Touche.
31:39What that, yeah, walk down the steps.
31:42Sorry.
