[cheers and applause] usable ♪ ♪[cheers and applause] >> wanda: hey, what's going on everybody? welcome to "the daily show." i'm wanda sykes! [cheers and applause] and i'm back! yep. i'm back, but honestly, i never left. no one told me how to get out this damn building! [laughter] you should see them after the show, they just leave! but we've got a great show for you tonight. my girl nia long is joining us! [cheers and applause] yes! so let's get right into it! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] let's start with the war in ukraine. we are coming up on 11 months

and the kremlin gremlin invaded, and now the ukrainian military is getting some major reinforcements. ♪ ♪ >> the announcement came this morning. the united states and germany will both be sending tanks to ukraine. >> ukraine has been desperate to get tanks as russia prepares for a spring offensive in this morning it looks like more than a dozen german tanks will be on their way soon, with as many as 100 to follow. with the u.s. expected to send more than 30 abrams tanks. ukraine wants the advanced german tanks as soon as possible. as for those abrams tanks, the only issue is they will not likely arrive for at least a year. >> wanda: a year? come on, u.s.! ukraine is fighting for its life and america is like all right, the delivery window is from june to december, make sure your home!"

[laughter] i tell you, that damn louis dejoy has really messed up the post office! he's got to go! [applause] now, the reason it took so long to send these tanks if that germany didn't want to send tanks alone, they wanted another country to send tanks with them because, you know, it's not a great look just when it's german tanks rolling across europe. kind of makes people nervous. [laughter] i think it should have been sweden. yeah. and they send tanks to ukraine and russia. okay, hear me out, hear me out. and then sweden that thing you do where you send the tanks in parts with a diagram for assembling them! [applause] yeah. see? c, that would bring the countries together because no one could assemble that shit on their own.

you know, ukraine would be like "hey, russia, do you have an extra one of those wooden pegs things?" going on. if the fda has some good news for babies and if there are any babies out there watching... what you doing? go to bed! and also, your food is about to taste a lot less like pennies. >> in tonight's health wash ohmic watch we have important information about ab food. the fda today proposed new levels for lead in baby food, cutting the allowable level by about 25% to 20 parts per billion or less. that would apply to baby foods with fruits, vegetables, and dry cereals, but not serial path and teething biscuits, which have been found to have some of the highest lead levels. the author of a 2019 report that from dangerous levels of lead in nearly 95% of manufactured baby food says the fda's proposals don't go far enough to protect children, but at least now you

know. >> wanda: would at least now know? [laughter] wait a minute, is that a thing? is this how you break bad news to people know? hey, memo that bump i thought was a spider bite? well, it's herpes, but at least now you know. [applause] for more on this news from the fda, we sent our correspondence out in the field, so let's go live to desi lydic and dulce sloan. [cheers and applause] desi, let's start with you. the story is crazy, how does baby food even get lead in it? >> no one knows, wanda. it could be from the soil, it could be from an old paint in the processing plant, it could be the guy at the end of the assembly line who sprinkles lead into all the jars.

[laughter] >> wanda: you telling me they got lead bae down there? [laughter] that's probably where the lead is coming from. >> it's impossible to say. but this regulation is necessary, wanda. lead is harmful to babies and they shouldn't eat it. unless they keep screaming forward and it's like fine, who gives a shit, habit, whatever makes this tantrum stop. parenting is obligated. >> wanda: okay, let's turn to dulce. i guess it's a good thing the fda is taking action on this for babies. >> man, [bleep] babies! [applause] i'm in a supermarket in jackson, mississippi, trying to buy bottled water, because look at the water they got down here! the government needs to fix this

problem! why do babies get priority? [applause] why do babies get priority? i'm the one paying american taxes! >> wanda: i mean, well, people love babies, come on, they are cute. >> i'm cute! babies? hit or miss. i mean, you've seen them. you try to be nice, but the baby was a gremlin. [laughter] listen, the fact -- how is this helping babies? they are not getting rid of the lead, they're just lowering the amount. how about we don't eat any harmful chemicals? that sounds like a good idea, right? >> dulce, i wish. it's just not possible. lead is in the soil, mercury is in the ocean, animals are full of plastic. it's called the ecosystem. >> wanda: desi has got a point, dulce. i mean, chemicals are ever

everywhere. >> especially everywhere black people live! [applause] i mean, my first boyfriend was exposed to so many chemicals he glowed in the dark. >> wanda: i never heard of that before, are you sure that was the chemicals? >> it's hard to say, he had a lot going on. >> wanda: i see. so, desi, is this the best the fda can do, just try to make sure babies aren't eating too much lead? >> wanda, it's not a bad strategy. if babies are going to spend their lives eating chemicals, we may as will get them started early to build up an immunity! you know? i mean, that's why i've decided to more lead. personally i'm just starting now. >> wanda: okay, i don't think you should -- >> here's how i see it, if i start now, than the this time next year i should be able to eat a whole car battery and be fine. >> that's not a bad idea. mean, you know, i guess i can

try -- >> wanda: dulce, dulce. >> that's good! i saw jesus. >> this lead is not bad! really good -- i will tell you what, wanda. i will tell you what else. >> wanda: desi? desi? >> yeah. >> wanda: what were you gonna say? >> oh, just that if babies and humans can comma together, it's fervor america great. [laughter] [applause]

>> lord, she done lost her damn mind! i'm just -- i'm just glad that nothing happened to me, you know what i mean? just out here being healthy, this water wasn't that bad! you all want some? it's good! >> wanda: dulce, your glowing! big thank you, i have a new skincare routine! >> wanda: i hope the insurance here is good. desi lydic and dulce sloan, everyone! when we come back, roy wood jr. visits cop city, you don't want to sit!

culminating in last week's shooting. police don't usually target protesters like this in america, but if they go after celebrity journalists next, good thing i got rid of my phone in the woods so the police can't track me. oh, shit, how my supposed to get out of here? >> wanda: thank you, roy. all right, stay tuned, because when we come back, my friend nia long will be joining me on the show, so don't go away!

granny. >> it's exhausting. so sometimes the off-camera stuff, i know the tennis ball thing, i did that with martin lawrence. i mean -- with "big momma's house." same kind of concept. he was there. he was there for everything the shot. >> wanda: wow! >> no prosthetic makeup in this one. so he was there and he was wonderful and i was so excited to finally be old enough to play his wife.

device. if so it's either an iphone, a ring cam, you know, secret phone that is like planted onset somewhere. so every role that i've learned about, you know, film and television i had to throw out the window because there were no overs, there was no -- it was just shoot and don't ask questions because if you ask questions you will be more confused. so i just had to trust the process. >> wanda: it's great to see, you know, a black woman in this type of role. you know, it's like taking over a drama thing. maybe you can like take over the john wick movie. >> i'm ready! what's go! >> wanda: it will be like john wick is like they killed her edges! and now -- and she wants revenge! >> yes! no more laced front! as long as i can wear this coat i will play whatever character. >> wanda: you are fancy!
