[ alarms blaring ] -it's been nice knowing you all. i hope i've gained your respect. -sheriff, listen to me. you are valuable. you are loved. i respect you. -that makes me feel like the nicest stuff in the world. shit! wrong button!

please be mis-wired. yes! -♪ some guy ran a stop sign ♪ -♪ some guy ran a stop sign ♪ [ townspeople cheering ] ♪ better grab the grenades ♪ ♪ here come the local police ♪ -so you do have my back. -always. -nice work, sheriff and connie. you have our respect and not just because you have the means to murder everyone in fairview. -whoo! -yay! -oh, my god. where's my baby beef? i think he was in that f-35 that exploded. -i'm right here, mom. -oh, thank goodness. how did you survive? -i was inside the fighter jet, but then sheriff came, choked me out, and threw me to the ground. -thank you, sheriff. -hey, choking out people is my job. -also saving people, right? -"saving people." i like the sound of that. -effective immediately, we are returning the fairview police department to its former bloated, unwieldy budget. -yay! -yeah! -and giving that money back to the arts. -eh. -look, of course we should take violent crime seriously. but stuff is just stuff. and we can't let its theft justify giving our police force weapons that are supposed to be

now it's like i'm in book territory now, do you know what i mean? the whole reason i went to the movies is because i didn't have time for the book. now i'm in the movie and i'm like, "yeah, okay, i guess this is the book." but now i'm stuck at the pace the movie goes. why are we making movies this long? now it's like a documentary series. i'm going to watch the parts of batman i don't find interesting. this is batman doing his taxes. bruce, the company is struggling. why is this in the movie?" >> announcer: coming to you from the heart of times square, in new york, the only city in america, it's "the daily show. tonight: tonight: the state of the union. the state of ukraine. and stacey abrams. this is "the daily show with trevor noah." >> trevor: hey, what's going on, everybody?

i'm trevor noah, and joining me for today's headlines is our very own ronny chieng! how you doing, ronny? >> i'm doing my part on social media. i'm not saying i'm a hero but i've been asking this stupid bot, to ( bleep ) off. and i think i may have singlehandedly turned the tide of the war. if you see me comment on an instagram post, please like my comment. >> trevor: powerful stuff, ronny. i'm glad that you didn't make it about you, like most people would, but really powerful. >> thank you. jump into today's headlines. we kick things off with the latest from ukraine, where despite fierce resistance from the ukrainian people, russian troops are now moving into major cities and advancing on the capitol of kyiv. and, folks, there is really no hiding from this war. russians have reportedly attacked hospitals, schools, and yesterday, russian bombs even hit a holocaust memorial. which i'm sorry, that is the

final straw. that goes to show how evil putin is. the guy's bombing holocaust memorials. i don't even feel comfortable using the bathroom at a holocaust memorial. it's too disrespectful. i'll find a starbucks. the united nations approved a resolution demanding that russia stop this war. if we're honest, u.n. resolutions don't mean shit to russia. the united nations may as well have come out and made an imaginary video where everyone singses. at least we would have laughed. if you're looking for more bad news-- clearly, you're a sick person-- but here it is. there's now a hint that this invasion may only be the first in ray series. >> as the world wonders what vladimir putin's next move might be. alexander lukashenko may have given away. he stood in front of of a map

showing moldova. >> lukashenko stood in front of the ukrainian map detailing russia's battle plan, which suggests moving troops from odessa into neighboring moldova. >> trevor: this is crazy, man. there is a chance russia is planning to invade moldova after ukraine? what's even crazier, we know this because this guy, the leader of belarus, and clearly the stepdad in every 80's porno, filmed himself giving away the plan. just standing there, "this is the plan. this is the plan." i always go, this can't be real life. this is what happens in the movies. you know how there's a hench man who is like,s, this is the master plan. we're going to-- oh, no! mr. bond took a picture with his camera penis. get him." i also feel ba for the intern who had to get that map. they probably killed everyone in a kinko to keep it a secret. >> right now, we live in the age of misinformation. we don't know what this is. we don't know if that's real. we don't know if that's photos edited. we don't even know if belarus is a real country. all we do know is that guy could

be pointing to anything. maybe that's his marketing strategy for bringing paramount plus to ukraine. and the arrows are the marketing forces. or maybe, i don't know, maybe that's a map of middle earth, and telling frodo where the volcano is so he can end everything. maybe it's an n.f.t. even if we think that is a map of ukraine and that is his battle plans, maybe he's the greatest double agent ever. maybe this is his way of leaking intele who west without anyone fig it out. before we call this guy a dumb boomer, let's figure out the facts first. >> trevor: you might be the most optimistic purpose i have ever met, ronny. >> that's my middle name. >> trevor: ronny chieng, positive and optimistic. >> trevor: all right, let's move on. spring is on its way in america, and that means sunny days, there is one spring tgz that is

unfortunately getting canceled. >> for the first time in more than a quarter century, major league baseball is canceling games over a labor dispute. >> the calendar dictates that we're not going to be able to play the first two series of the regular season, and those games are officially canceled. >> that's 91 games so far. >> economics are at the heart of it. major league baseball saw revenues go from around $8 billion to nearly $11 billion right before the pandemic; yet, player salaries went down slightly for four straight years. and of the four major sports, baseball has the lowest minimum salary at around $570,000. >> trevor: no! no! don't cancel the baseball games. how else will i get to spend $45 on a hot dog? that's a little too dry? m.l.b. is cancelling games

because the players and the league cannot agree on who gets to share the money. yes. and i will be honest with you. i was shocked that baseball players' minimum pay is less than all the other leagues, especially considering this sport brings in $11 billion. and, yes, i know, $570,000 is a lot of money. it is a lot of money. but when you think about it from the players' point of view, think about how long a baseball game is. what does that $500,000 break down to? $4 an hour. please remember this, i know a lot of people say i hate the sport. remember when this happens a lockout doesn't just affect the players. it affects everyone who works in and around the game, like the people who work in the stadium. it affects the umpires, the guys selling beer, security guard who tackles want naked guys who run out on to the field. yeah. in fact, just to pay the bills, mr. met has already had to start an "onlyfans" account. it's sad. >> trevor, everyone is being very alarmist about this, all

right. dude, this is america. they're not going to stop baseball. it's going to come back. of course they're going to find an agreement. what's the alternative? they'll never play baseball again. of course it will happen. this is like an encore at a billie joel concert. you know he's going to play "piano man." calm the ( bleep ) down. wait. there's no patience here in america. we like baseball, but we don't like patience which is ironic because it's the game you need the most patience for because it's long. ( laughter ). >> trevor: all right, finally, let's talk about the movies. the only way to legally stare at chris evans for two and a half hours. during the covid pandemic many people decided going to movie theaters wasn't worth the the risk. going to the movies was a risk before covid. with movie theaters losing ticket revenues before the pandemic, one major chain has come up with a really slick idea. they're going to charge more for

the movies that people actually want to see. >> you may soon have to pay a little more to go to the movies. a.m.c. has started testing a new pricing model, starting with higher prices to tickets to "the batman." a.m.c. is trying out a variable pricing system, which means new movies will cost you more thanole releases playing at the very same location. >> trevor: whoa, whoa, whoa. hold up. a.m.c. is going to make us pay more to see new movies? that's not fair. that's not fair, people. because what are we going to do? we're going to have to pay to see "the batman." like, we can't not pay. otherwise, how are we ever going to know where he came from? like there's no other way to know. like, is one of his parents a bat and the other a man? this is the first opportunity we have to find out. look, to be honest, i don't know if this is the worst model. i've always found it weird that you pay the same amount for old movies as you do for the latest releases. this is actually going to make sense. it's like going back to the blockbuster rules. and that business did well. you know what i mean?

i will say this-- i'm worried this is a slippery slope. it's going to be just like the airlines. first they say they're just charging us extra for the new movies. then they'll say certain seats in the cinema will cost extra. next thing you know a.m.c. won't let me bring in a big bowl of my favorite soup from home. what is happening to this, man! here's my counteroffer to a.m.c.: if you want to charge us more for new movies, fine. but as- goers, we're going to start paying you in increments throughout the movie. yeah, we can't just give you all the money up front. every 15 minutes, we're going to be like, "here's $5. show me the beginning. all right, here's another 5. i want to see what happens to that day." after, that i'll be like, "i'm done, i'm done." you have to entertain me the whole time. i'm sick of the movies that take 90 minutes to get going. i'm talking about you "power of the dog." >> you know how the prices will

work. it's an algorithm base and they'll track your data to determine what you like and charge you more for it. easy solution: just keep the movies you want to watch, just keep talking about how much they suck. then they'll pick up on that, get in the algorithm, and your movies will be cheaper. like right now, let's start right now. robert patinson as batman? that's gross. bring back fen aplek? also, everybody knows they don't get you on the ticket price, okay. the movie theaters get you on the snacks. >> trevor: they do. >> that's why i always keep some popcorn right in my taint, just in case i ever need to go watch a movie. they'll never get me on this. i even like to keep some snickers melted in there, just so it's sweet and salty. you know what i'm saying? ( laughter ) you want some? >> trevor: you know, that is one of the most disgusting things i have ever seen. you can't mix snickers with popcorn. you can't mix-- it's like a

different type-- >> don't knock it until you try it. come on. there's more where that came from. ( laughter ) >> trevor: oh! that's tainty. that's nice. that's actually really good. oh, man, i need to go to the movies with you more often. >> any time, man? >> trevor: we've got to take a quick break so me and ronny can eat some popcorn. when we come back, we'll recap joe biden's first-ever state of the union address. and stacey abrams-- yes, the stacey abrams-- is joining me right here on the show. you don't want to miss it. don't eat it all by yourself, ronn ♪ ♪ ♪a little bit of chicken fried♪ ♪cold beer on a friday night♪ ♪a pair of jeans that fit just right♪ ♪and the radio up well i've seen the sunrise...♪ get 5 boneless wings for $1 with any handcrafted burger. only at applebee's

>> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." let's talk about the state of the union address, the one night a year joe biden stays up past 6:00 p.m. it's also the one night a year where the president gives the country a status update about how things are going. which, if we're honest, has always been a little bit weird to me, you know. it's like, why does it only happen once a year? you get more updates from your doggie daycare in one afternoon than you get from the president in an entire year? that's a little weird. the point is, it's an important night which is why everyone from senators to supreme court justices to military generals all show up. although, this year was interesting, because there were fewer people in attendance than normal, because some lawmakers didn't want to follow the covid protocols. yes, like marco rubio, who said, "he didn't have time. to take a covid test."

honestly, i don't have time to take a covid test is a brave stance for someone who has twetd, like, 50 times in the last 24 hours. to be honest, it's actually kind of relatable. this is like when i say, "i tonight have time to make dinner" because i'm watching tiktok. you seen those otters? there's so cute. they'll kill you, but they're cute. once everyone who had 40 seconds to take the test was seated, it was time for joe biden himself to enter the chamber and greet his guests. and i'm proud, ladies and gentlemen, to say that we at the "the daily show" have exclusive foot annual of what he said to these people as he walked into the to the podium. >> madam speaker, the president of the united states. ( applause ) >> hey, oh, shit. i can't find my speech. hey, hey, quick, you, what's the state of the union? how you doing? is the union strong? is it weak? is it emo, is there a vibe shift? oh, shit, i'm running out of

time. i'll just wing it! >> trevor: i know. rough start. but biden recovered, people. oh, he recovered. you see joe biden launched into this speech that touched on everything-- russia, covid, inflation. and so much more. >> entering a chamber full of yellow and blue, president biden forcefully condemning vladimir putin. >> he thought he could roll into ukraine and the world would roll over. instead he met with a wall of strength he never anticipated or imagined. he met the ukrainian people. >> ukraine's ambassador to the u.s. receiving a standing ovation and an embrace from first lady jill bind. the president also suggesting america is finally emerging from the pandemic. >> stop looking at covid as a partisan dividing line. see it for what it is-- a godawful disease. >> and despite a fast-growing economy, president biden acknowledging too many people are still feeling the pain of rising prices.

>> inflation is robbing them of gains they thought otherwise they would be able to feel i get it. >> in one surprising moment of unity, the president, trying to move his party to the middle with a message on crime that even got some republicans on their feet. >> the answer is not to defund the police. >> that's right! >> it's to fund the police. ( applause ) fund them. fund them. >> trevor: yeah, you heard that right. joe biden said, "fund the police." oh! but i thought that was a republican thing. i thought democrats wanted to bull doze police stations and replace them with community poetry centers. yeah, maybe, but not joe biden. people forget, i don't know why people forget this, for years joe biden has been saying he wants to invest more resources and training into the police, for years he's been saying this. the reason you probably might have missed it is because of how he speaks. "we've got to police the funding

and fund the funders, you know. come on, jack, he's a fine negro." putting multiple speeches in one. he's saving time. look, this was not a surprise from joe biden. and, honestly, i'm just glad he didn't get too swept up in that applause and go further. "fund the police. all lives matter. let's go, brandon! wait, that was about me?" it is crazy nothing has really changed when it comes to the police. whether you want to deound the police or like biden spend even more money on reforming them, you've got to admit neither of those things have actually happened. and fatal police shootings actually went up last year. yeah. so, really, when you think about it, after all the marches and the protests and the national conversation, all we really got was nancy pelosi's kente clothing line. but aside from policing and covid and ukraine, biden also brought up a lot of policies last night that he wanted congress to pass this year, like letting medicare negotiate the price of drugs and doubling clean energy production and

raising taxes on corporations, and strengthening voting rights-- which are all great ideas that i can't wait for him to bring up again at next year's state of the union. because, i mean, if we're honest, none of that shit is going to pass through this congress. bind himself was doing his thing, man. he was giving a speech. he was in his element. and biden being biden, there were a bunch of moments in the speech that were just a little bit weirder than they had to be. like when he said this: >> if you get covid-19, the pfizer pill reduces your chances of ending up in the hospital by 90%. i've ordered more pills than anyone in the world has. >> trevor: okay, okay. i guess the speart at joe biden's house tonight. it would be funny if he meant he ordered all of those pills but just for himself "if i get corona, i'm all set! good luck to the rest of you bitches." and then there was also this moment where joe biden was praising the people of ukraine? >> putin may circle kiev with

tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the iranian people. ( laughter ) >> trevor: technically true. it is technically true. putin can do whatever he wants in ukraine. nothing will make the iranians back down. you know, at times this speech was like a birthday card from a four-year-old-- a lot of words didn't make sense, but you got what it was trying to say. >> and a pound of ukrainian people, proud, proud people, pound for pound, ready to fight with every inch of energy hey have. >> pound, pound, proud, pound, pound. it wasn't a bad save. you have to admit. it wasn't the worst save in the world. here's a question i have, honest question, america, why can't a politician in this country go, "excuse me," and correct themselves. why do they just carry on? trump did this all the time, too. they twist the words and make it sound like they didn't mess up. "this country was built on fandom, freedom, an idea of

freedom. who is not a fan of freedom. the country was built on freedom by a guy named fandom." there was what biden said at the end of his speech which wasn't a mistake but left everybody confused. >> god bless you all. and may god protect our troops. thank you. go get him." ( laughter ) >> trevor: i'm sorry, "god protect our troops, go get him." get who? goget god? or the troops should get putin? go get him who? does biden just rammedly shout, "go get him" sometimes. the weirdest moments were like biden doing his thing. "go get him." get him, get 'em. one, single? i don't know. i stand corrected. those weren't the weirdest moments, actually. the weirdest moments didn't come from biden. they came from the people who couldn't figure out when to clap

for biden. like this moment from chuck schumer. >> the american rescue plan... the american rescue plan helped working people and left no one behind. ( applause ) >> trevor: you see that? it's like he was trying to rehearse his standing ovation. "first the legs, and then you put the hands okay, i think i got it guys, i'm ready." there's a simple rule in life-- if you stand up in a speech at the wrong time, you've just got to commit. you stand up, you clap, and then you walk out that building and straight into the ocean. you die like a man. if you thought that was really bad, please tell me it what the hell nancy pelosi was doing here. >> and our troops in iraq, in afghanistan, faced many dangers work one being stationed at bases breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits. many of you have been there.

i've been in and around of iraq and afghanistan over 40 times. ( laughter ) >> trevor: what is that? what is that?" looks like someone found all those pills joe biden ordered. oh, shit. like her face, her hands, her body. such a weird, like, giddiness. you know what it looks like, it almost looks like a cartoon character floating towards an apple pie. "oh, tasty." i can't get over the hands. let it go. let it go. it looked like she was playing rock, paper, scissors with herself and somehow making in a makeout sesh. "you like, that rock, don't you." that was basically the state of the union. that was it in a nutshell, to be honest. according to joe biden, inflation is bad but he will try to make it better. drug prices are bad, but he will try to make it better. and i don't know who "him" is, but someone's coming to get him. you know what? that makes me...

i don't know where to start, every time i see you, you are doing more and more things. let's start with the book "level up." very few people can say they have run for governor and also-- is it a three-times "new york times" bestseller. four? who is counting. >> i have an abacus in my living room. >> trevor: i love that. here's my first question, you do so well writing, why stress yourself with politics? >> i love writing, but i also love people. and people do better when they have good leadership. people do really well when they have leaders that like them. so i want to be one of those people who actually likes people and wants to help them from the office of governor. >> trevor: okay. people feel that. "level up," a book about essentially small businesses and how to grow them and the challenges that you face. you share the fact that you had businesses thatted failed. most politicians will be like, i didn't fail. i pivoted. people love the pivot.

one of the big things you learn about when reading the book is just how many small businesses fail. now, i don't know if i'm in the minority here, but i sometimes wonder if there's too much of an obsession with starting your own business in america. like, it feels like there's this thing-- i don't know if it's attached to the american dream, but it feels like everyone is told you have to start your own business. is there a reason you chose to start your own business and not to just work in a field that was already-- a business that already exists? >> oh, i like paychecks. they make me very happy. ( laughter ) paycheckes -- >> trevor: stacey abrams, i like paychecks. >> i like paychecks. i was a tax attorney and that was a nice paycheck, and i began what my mother has called my trajectory of downward economic mobility and i left there and became deputy city attorney for atlanta. when i decided to run for office, i didn't feel right staying in my job as a lawyer for the city when i was running for political office, and so i left. i became what i call a reluctant entrepreneur. i had to find a way to pay for my mortgage since i was going to leave my job. and that's when i started my business. and for a lot of people, starting a small business isn't

this horataio alger story. it's not because they want to be minimoog ulsuls. it's often circumstance. a mom who needs to take care of her kids, but she also needs to make a living, so she starts a business in her kitchen. it's people who need opportunities. so my mission to say, regardless of why you start your small business, here's what you need to know about it. these are the things no one is going to tell you. "shark tank" is not going to happen for most of us, so here's what we need to do. and that it's going to be difficult. in georgia right now, 99% of the business in georgia are small businesses. >> trevor: wow. >> 49% of the employees are employed by small businesses. and so if we don't understand small businesses, we're in a lot of trouble. and if we don't do our work to prop them up and to help them, support them as they grow, and more importantly, help them scale, then we're actually hurting the very people we say we want to help in our economy. >> trevor: if you were to become the governor of georgia-- people are screaming as i say that and cheering right now. >> thank you. >> trevor: if you were to become

the governor of georgia, what are some of the first steps you think you would take to help small businesses, if you're saying 99% of them are small business in georgia, what do you think could change? where can government step in and where should that marriage end between the government helping a small business while also making a business a business? >> the first thing we need to do is expand medicaid in georgia, which seems like a counterintuitive answer to the question you asked. >> trevor: it does. >> georgia spends billions of dollars if what's called uncoverage say thed care. we pay for people who can't afford healthcare. part of that is the fact we failed to take money that belongs to georgians and reinvest it in healthcare. medication expansion in georgia will create 60,000 new jobs. when you expand medicaid, you create small businesses. it's an infusion of capital that comes from commerce, not from loans. number two, we should teach young people how to start businesses. even if they don't ever want to start one of their own, they should know what one looks like. it makes them better employees. if you understand how business

works, then you understand why your boss, who has two employees, cannot pay you what your friend at coca-cola makes. >> trevor: right, right, right. >> it's creating that lexicon and that understanding. and the third is encouraging financial systems to actually loan money. when you have to do that in communities that don't have it. after the great recession, black communities in particular lost banks, and they never came back. so when the p.p.p. loans came out-- a good intention of government-- the money went to places that were not willing to lend to the very communities that need it. >> trevor: right >> and as governor, i would pay attention to that. i would say we need to use these small-- these black-owned backs or these latino-owned banks, these community banks. we need to use those as depositories so when money comes next time, there's someone in the community who is ready to loan it. >> trevor: let's talk about politics which is everything in america all the time. you are running for a seat that in a state that has become-- i mean, one of the lightning rods of american politics, georgia. what's interesting about this race is the fact that governor kemp has put into place multiple

restrictions on how people can vote, when people can vote. he's reduced the availability of voting for people. republicans will argue the same thing. they will say, "no, all we're trying to do is shore up the vote, even though we agree there has been no widespread voter fraud." how do you begin tackling an issue like this where, "a," you are running, so you want to make it better for yourself/fair for everybody. but how do you find that balance of saying to people, "listen, i'm trying to do this for everybody and i know they hope i will benefit." do you get what i'm saying. that paradox of the messaging you're trying to get out. >> i reject the paradox. voting-- the process of voting is nonpartisan. everyone should have access to the ability to vote. it should be easy to vote. it should be accessible. there should be a freedom to vote. any impediment to that is wrong. that's full stop. i don't care who you vote for. when i'm focusing on the voting

system, my focus should never be on you who cast your ballot for. voting itself, the process is nonpartisan. now, when you get in there, i'm going to do everything in my power to convince you i'm the perfect to pick. but the fight for the right to vote is something that should cut across every demographic, every ideology, every community. we are a stronger nation when we allow people to participate. and if we ever doubted that, the war that putin is waging against ukraine, president zelensky said it-- i'm going to paraphrase him probably poorly-- he said this isn't a war on ukraine. this is a war on democracy in ukraine. when we allow democracy to be overtaken by those who choose to be heard, and those choices are not based on anything but animus and inconvenience, then that is wrong. my mission is to make certain that everyone can cast a ballot, even people who don't like me-- especially those folks. they should be able to go and cast their ballots. my job is to make sure more people who like me show up, but that's campaigning. that's not voting rights. >> trevor: before i let you go, i have to talk to you about the mask. >> yes.

>> trevor: because i was on social media, and then i see the picture of your mask and the picture gets deleted. this is what i found interesting-- and maybe you'll correct me if i'm wrong. it feels like with politicians you have a team around you. everyone is trying to figure out how to solve a crisis or fix a problem. people say ridiculous things, "i hold my breath when i take the picture." and it creates this weird-- it creates a situation where people feel like leaders aren't following the rules, or people, you know, are punished differently from leaders, et cetera, et cetera. why did you say, "yeah, i messed up, and that's that." and going forward, do you think you'll be able to maintain that, without at the same time, letting your enemies use that as your-- you know, like, "don't vote for stacey abrams. she messes up." >> my responsibility, in that instance, if i created any appearance that i did not take children's lives seriously, that's a mistake. but your job fundamentally is to acknowledge when you make a mistake and try to make it right. we have this narrative that we have invincible leaders.

that's just not true. what we have are humans who want to do a job, and we have to hold them accountable for the job they do but have grace when they make a mistake and trust that their intentions were right. but you can't trust's intentions if they never tell you what they were. saying i'm sorry, saying i made a mistake, is being honest about your intention. i intended to do something. i did not quite do it. let me tell you about the gap and let me tell you how i'm going to make it better the next time. >> trevor: i need to remember that for the next time i mess up. >> i have a lot of practice. i wrote a book about it. >> trevor: i'm just going to pivot. all i think of when i read is "level up," "level up,""level up." stacey abrams, thank you for take the the time. time. >> thank you for having me. >> trevor: stacey abrams and lara hodgson's book, "level up," is available now. is available now. okay, we're gonna take a quick

never be afraid of your strength, because your body is capable of amazing things. own your strength, and see how far it takes you. tonal. be your strongest.

but before we go: families in ukraine are fleeing violence and urgently need emergency aid. "care's" immediate crisis response aims to reach four million people, prioritizing women and girls, families, and the elderly. so if you can, donate at the link below to rush urgently

needed water, food, hygiene kits, and ongoing support in ukraine. until tomorrow, stay safe out there, get your vaccine, and remember: if you miss baseball, don't forget all the little league games in your community that you can go to and get drunk there. now, here it is, your moment of zen. >> what do you think the president meant at the end of his speech when he said, "go get him"? >> i believe that he was speaking to the ukrainian people. >> we're not quite sure what he means. i think he's talking about vladimir putin, and the bad guys over there. >> he emphasized the "h." but if i was a betting woman, i would say he meant to say, "go get 'em." >> it's a rust belt irish catholic way of saying, "give them hell." >> does he want congress to go get him? does he want the people watching to go get him? >> who was he talking about? i still don't know. >> i don't know what he means by "go get him." >> nobody knew what he meant. >> who is him? peter, get to the bottom of that. >> i'm just going to start shouting and see who-- see who

( jimbo ) here we are up at schaefer's crossing looking for some animals. look ned, there's some deer. quick ned, thin out their numbers. thin out their numbers. good work ned, now they won't starve. that sure was a great hunting trip. we saved those deer from extinction. we're environmentalists. coming up next, we're gonna drop some napalm on an unsuspecting family of beavers, and also try to thin out the numbers of some endangered species. mr. garrison, what's vietnam ? what's vietnam ?
