yeah, see ya. [screams] what! [screams] [on the verge of tears] narrator (on pc): [non-english speech] i hope you got sound on everything. i'd love a dvd of that. [horns honking] ♪ ♪ >> announcer: from new york city, the only city in america, it's the show that invented news. this is "the daily show" with your host, jordan klepper! [cheers and applause]

♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jordan: welcome to "the daily show!" i'm jordan klepper. and this is pretty exciting, everyone! this is the first time the show has let me sit down in five years. we've got a great show for you tonight, including an interview with aoc! [cheers and applause] but there is a lot to talk about. so let's get into the headlines! [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ it is a day in america, so we are talking about guns. this weekend was the national nra convention, also known as "cargo pants comic-con." or the "westminster step-dad show." no people like to stereotype nra members as gone obsessed wax

jobs who want to arm little babies, and the thing about stereotypes is sometimes, they are spot on. >> i've got three kids, two son-in-laws, and did you know that i'm also a grandmother? not just once, but twice. have two beautiful grandchildren. little miss addie, who is almost two, and branch, who's just a few months old. now, addie, who, you know, soon will need them, i want to reassure you, she already has a shotgun and she already has a rifle. and she's got a little pony named sparkles, too, so the girl is set up. >> jordan: wow. that is a governor of south dakota bragging about her 2-year-old grand daughter owning guns. when my kid was little, i was covering outlets, locking cabinets, and cutting grapes and in half because it might be a choking hazard. kirsti noem is like, "here's a shotgun. you're on watch tonight. sic semper tyrannus." i know liberals and conservatives don't agree on

much. but can we agree that you should not own a gun if you don't know how to poop in a potty? [cheers and applause] although, it is adorable that she has a pony named sparkles. in fact, if you'll excuse me for a second, i need to address sparkles directly. sparkles, this will not end well for you. these people are clearly insane. run while you still can. there is no time for goodbyes. go! go, my friend! go! [cheers and applause] look, to be clear, i'm not bringing up kristi noem just to make fun of her grandkids. i would never do that. they've got guns. i'm bringing up kristi noem because she gave us a great insight into what creates the worldview of an nra member. >> my dad taught us

life lessons. he taught us common sense and often, those were taught during our hunting trips. for instance, i remember being only about nine or ten years old and we had hunted all day, miles and miles from camp in the high country in the bighorn mountains when my dad turned to me and he said "kristi, hunt your way back to camp. i'm going to go around this ridge and i'll meet you there at dark." and he disappeared over the ridge. now, to a ten-year-old girl, this was terrifying. and as strange noises came and darkness fell, i had to rely on my instincts and my horse to find my way back to our tent. now years later, mom shared with me that my dad had followed me at a safe distance all the way back to camp. to make sure that i got there safe. now before you get all warm and fuzzy on him, i also want to tell you that he made bear noises the whole time he was following me. [laughter] scratching trees and growling at me, so you know. >> jordan: [laughs]

what an adorable story about alcoholism. excuse me one second. seriously, sparkles, this family is [bleep] nuts, get out of there! trust no one. sic semper tyrranus. [cheers and applause] the real purpose of an nra convention is a detail fund family stories of childhood abandonment. no. it is to explain why all the gun violence of the last year had nothing to do with guns. in the past, they played video games, rap music, and for a brief period in the '90s, though rachel. it could be anything. well, not anything. it can't be guns. anything else. this year was no different. >> you want to do something? you can ban social media in kids under the age of 15 or 16 before you take guns away. >> this is a mental health

problem. >> the motivations of the trans activists. >> this is a cultural problem. >> bring back the family. >> this is a spiritual problem. >> the american media. speak of genetically engineered cannabis. >> jordan: weed, really? when i get high, the only thing i want to my secure is a bag of onions. if you are blaming gun violence on weed, people are name checking things they don't understand on the news. it is we had! it is chatgpt! it is "love is blind" crashing netflix. is that a thing? it is a thing! [cheers and applause] this isn't just the nra deflecting. they are stoking these fears. >> fears of rampant crime, trans people, wokeness, mutant doobie's. it's all coming to get you. you know what happens when you combine a culture of fear and guns? you get the story that just came out of kansas city, where a kid trying to pick up his siblings

knocked on the wrong door and got shot and wounded by the homeowner. that kid was not shot by weed or social media. he was caught by shot by a scared person with a gun. this is the climate that the nra stokes. they they are the irresponsible, loud mouth, making bare noises, scratching on trees, so you feel scared enough to go and get yourself a [bleep] gun. [cheers and applause] you know what? it is my first night. enough about gun violence. let's move on to something more lighthearted. the corrosive rock of our judicial branch. of course, i'm talking about clarence thomas, -- [boos] yeah, big fans, i can tell. you know him. he is the supreme court justice who's taken more free vacations then all the bravo housewives combined. last week, we learned that thomas had secretly accepted luxury trips from right-wing billionaire harlan crow. that's his actual name, not his "game of thrones" cosplay

character. now, we are finding out that back in 2014, harlan crow bought a house in two vacant lots from clarence thomas for $130,000. that is outrageous. i'm shocked and my in america there are places where you can buy a house and two vacant lots for $130,000. i'm mad about the corruption but i have to admit, that is a [bleep] steal. on top of that, clarence thomas' mom is living in that house rent free and harlan crow is paying for hundreds of dollars of renovations, all that clarence thomas should have disclosed by law, although, in his defense, the law is complicated. and he is only a supreme court justice. [applause] for more on the legal nuances of this story, we turn to supreme court expert ronny chieng. [cheers and applause] ronny!

[cheers and applause] ronny! where are you right now? >> where am i? where do think i am? i'm at clarence thomas's mom's house! >> jordan: that's the house? >> well, technically this is the pool house. they built it last week. obviously, they are going to do a gut reno because it looks like shit. >> jordan: that is insane, ronny, the revelations about money flowing to a supreme court justice, frankly, they are shocking. >> oh, really, jordan, you are shocked? have your precious norms been violated? "oh, no, somebody, help! justice thomas and harlan crow bent over and double-teamed jordan klepper's innocent principles!" >> jordan: stop it, stop it. stop it. i'm a professional news person. i don't have principles. >> you know what is really shocking here? this billionaire is reaching so much money, buying

clarence thomas houses and flights to vote conservative? newsflash! clarence thomas is already conservative! it's like bribing nick cannon to hit it raw. he was gonna do that anyway! [cheers and applause] save your money! jordan, you know who i do blame for this? >> jordan: harlan crow's parents for giving him an evil villain name? >> yes, but no! i blame these dumb-assed, whiny liberals. if clarence thomas can be bought, then why aren't you buying him? you gave beto o'rourke money to come in third in a student council you could have built raise. clarence thomas's mom a new garage, a zen garden, and a heli-pool. >> jordan: you mean a helipad? >> no, a heli-pool. it's a pool for helicopters, so you can land straight in the water instead of walking there like a peasant. maybe abortion would still be

legal if liberals bought a pool for clarence thomas's mom's helicopter. is that so crazy? >> jordan: yes! it's crazy! ronny, you don't fix corruption with more corruption! what is a message you are sending when you let money influence decision-making? >> jordan, i will give you $1,000 if you agree with me right now. >> jordan: i would never betray my integrity for $1,000. maybe five. >> how about three? >> jordan: three, deal. ronny chieng is right, everyone. [cheers and applause] all right, when we come back, my interview with alexandria ocasio-cortez. so don't go away. [cheers and applause]

(ooh, new nuggets!) (so tender.) (does he not dip his nuggets in sauce?) (mmm, these don't even need sauce.) (that's crazy.) try new kentucky fried chicken nuggets. you've never had nuggets like these. that's finger lickin' good.

on brand for where i am from. [laughs] >> jordan: there is a lot of discussion around what progressives can do about violence in the big city. >> what the data has showed us is that if you respond to violence as a public health issue instead of as an incarceration issue, violence decreases. and that is what we are doing here at jacoby hospital. >> jordan: are there cops here at the hospital that are addressing the issue? >> hell no. [laughs] >> jordan: okay. >> listen -- and they are a security presence and police presence that a standard at any hospital but that is not what this program is about. in the traditional response to an incidence of violence, a shooting or a stabbing, you may go to the e.r. real quick and get patched up and then you go straight to the precinct. what we decided to do is that we said, hey, let's shift the response and see what happens when we make the central response a hospital instead of a jail. >> jordan: when a patient comes to the e.r. with a gunshot wound, the stand up to violence team works with the victim and members of the community to prevent violent retaliation. you are essentially talking

about preventative medicine here. >> it is. it absolutely is. >> jordan: in america, it's not exactly our thing. >> we are not known for that. >> jordan: we are more of a reactive medicine society. >> you know, we have caseworkers, we have social workers, we have therapists, and we also have people who themselves were once incarcerated. some of the most effective people in this work are the former gang members, former -- people who formerly spent time at rikers. >> jordan: i can hear how fox news would spin this as aoc tries to defund the police and fund gang members. >> if i spent my time worrying about what fox news said, i would -- i mean, i wouldn't be here. >> jordan: we are in new york city and you're talking about funding violence prevention outside of the police. and yet, eric adams has just increased police wages by 28%. is that misplaced? >> i think so. we are now at a point where officially, most officers are paid more than a teacher with a

master's degree serving the same kids involved in the same incidents. we are defunding safety, defunding our public schools, defunding our public pools, defunding our parks, defunding our libraries, when we are taking all of those resources and demanding that every single department, except the militarized one, be cut, we are sending a message about who and what we care about. >> jordan: here in a hospital, you get the vibes, have you ever considered a career in the medical profession? >> it is funny you ask that. when i went to college, i went in as a premedical student. >> jordan: really? >> i wanted to be an ob-gyn actually. but you know, life takes us where it takes us. >> jordan: i considered going into the medical profession. i thought i could play a handsome doctor on tv. >> [laughs] >> jordan: didn't pan out. why we were on the subject of national embarrassments come i had to as a congresswoman about

clarence thomas and his bff, nazi swag collector harlan crow. >> i wanted to talk about clarence thomas. you said you would even draft articles of impeachment for the things he has done. has there been any quid pro quo? and i said quid pro quo partially because it took me a while to learn what could pro cope met back in the ukraine days and it feels apropos of now. i don't think i used apropos correctly. >> i think that quid pro quo is as far that doesn't even need to be met. the justice as required by law to disclose something like that. and he has not been. >> jordan: can you empathize, though? beyonce came through here, wanted to take you on a sweet vacation? would you say yes and let her show you her nazi memorabilia? >> tell someone about it! don't put bey's name on it. >> jordan: i'm saying that she invested in nazi memorabilia to show that she hates nazi memorabilia. >> that whole thing is just -- i mean, birds are. you also don't keep the linens around. >> jordan: which one was to

mark the nazi limits? >> yeah, who does that. >> jordan: if you had a billion dollars and bought everything, you probably eventually get to nazi linens? >> this is the distraction of the whole issue. >> jordan: you are right. we are just focused on that as opposed all the money that is going to clarence thomas. although if you are billionaire, can't billionaires have friends? >> they a can. supreme court justices are required come if they are receiving money from people -- they should not be receiving money from people. this is what we pay salaries to public servants. if they want to live that kind of lifestyle, then they can resign from the court. they can retire. >> jordan: i want to talk about the courtyard is looking as if the supreme court will rule -- possibly conflicting rulings around mifepristone. who do you think will write the final ruling that will take the rights away from him and? will be the guy who cried over beer or the guy with the body with nazi memorabilia? >> my hope is that we do not get to that point.

but we also has to face the reality that the supreme court has chosen to give up huge swaths of their own legitimacy. chief justice roberts, clarence thomas, brett kavanaugh, the republican party, and them giving up trying to take seriously the legitimacy, the standards, the integrity of the court, they have given up a very large degree of their authority. >> jordan: the new news in florida this week is a six-week abortion ban. how do women approach that or fight back against something like that that is happening in florida? >> of course, there is the standard, like, vote, and mobilize. but i want to put that aside for a second. we do not have to accept tyranny. and this is a form of tyranny. it is a form of violence.

people will die because of this decision. and it will be by a large -- the men, who signed these laws that are killing the women that will die by them. and we have a responsibility to help one another, whether that is supporting organizations that mail mifepristone, which has a significantly reduced risk, certainly, safer than medications like viagra. but ultimately, we cannot continue to accept people in power who will abuse others for their own gain. >> jordan: indictment week was last week. it might also be a month from now too. we could have a lot of indictment makes. >> [laughs] >> jordan: how do you think new yorkers treated former president donald trump? >> i think they treated him like a florida man. he don't belong to us no more, okay? [laughs] you are not from queens anymore. he is a citizen of mar-a-lago. >> jordan: you said they treated him as such. >> yeah, why wouldn't we?

>> jordan: do you think people were behaving when he was booked as a claims? >> may be george santos and marjorie taylor greene were. but not me. kick it back to laguardia. >> jordan: kick it back to laguardia. [laughter] which is in your district? >> it is in my district and so his records. so i have to go and come every single day, watching people get treated far worse for doing far less, and then, you know, it is like this red carpet that gets rolled out. i mean, if you hurt one person, you get ten years in prison, but if you her to millions of people, you get your name on a building. >> jordan: congresswoman, thanks for talking with me. >> of course, thanks for having me. >> jordan: stay tuned. because when we come back, betty gilpin will be joining me on the show. don't go away.

[cheers and applause] [laughter] i watch a clip like that, there is a lot going on, there's a lot going on in the show.

>> so much going on. >> jordan: in fact, they told us, they were like, there's a lot of spoilers. you can't talk about certain things. >> so many things you can't talk about, impossible to promote. i'm not used to doing something so plot-heavy. usually, the plot of things i do are like, when is she going to sob or have sex, and that is kind of the plot twists for that episode. >> jordan: screenwriting 101. >> yeah, exactly. this plot is like a rubik's cube had sex with a haunted calculator. >> jordan: [laughs] that's about right. in a nutshell, spoiler-free nutshell, essentially, you are a nun who is part of the resistance fighting an all-knowing a.i. >> yes. it is a society not unlike our own, but one where in a.i. or an algorithm like siri or alexa, called mrs. davis, has kind of taken over, is in everyone's ear, purports to be benevolent, and there is a small faction of society, myself, a nun, included, that thinks she or it is evil and not to be trusted.

>> jordan: now what is your relationship with a.i.? are you fearful of it? you are a wonderful writer as well as an actress. >> thanks. >> jordan: do you look like something like chatgpt, do you think it is coming for your jobs? >> it is really scary. the internet in general, it is weird. i have a 2.5-year-old. i try to limit her screen time and i snatch phones away from her like it is poison and then i myself can't pee without watching millie bobby brown take a lie detector test because i am so addicted, i'm addicted to the thing that i'm telling my daughter is poison. so i don't know. i have to get right with that before she is on the grid of understanding. but in terms of a.i., i think our show, "mrs. davis" on peacock, april 20th, is kind of asking the same question that we are asking now, which is, are you our savior, or are you our downfall, to a.i.? and even when we were filming, chatgpt, six months ago, wasn't as much a part of the headline

as it is now. i don't know. it is really scary. >> jordan: it is scary. i feel like this show, it kind of asks that question or looks at, when you look at guidance, do you turn to technology or do you turn to god? like, are you a god believer or are you an elon musk believer? >> right, right. >> jordan: sort of, where do you fall on the line? have you picked a side yet? one's got rockets. >> [laughs] yeah. i mean, i myself am not a person of faith but i do think -- this show has made me think a lot about, you know, church and the internet being these two sort of institutional responses to the same human question, sort of, asking why, and wondering, and wanting to -- wandering and wondering and wanting to connect with each other and i think we often use church and the internet to do the opposite of what they were probably built for, which is to connect and wonder, and we use it to disconnect and to provide all of

the answers in your echo chamber. and i think -- i look at my daughter, and i hope that we are just the generation driving without seat belts, using this to disconnect and get dumber. maybe they can use it to connect and get smarter. but i don't know. probably not.
