What The Hell Happened This Week? - Week of 4/18/2022 | The Daily Show

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] by now you've all heard about how school systems across the u.s are banning critical race theory and if you're still not sure what critical race theory is don't worry neither are the people banning it now the states of florida has announced that it's officially begun its purge of all things crt but some of the targets have taken people by surprise the florida department of education is making waves after rejecting 41 percent of submitted math textbooks because of touchy and prohibited subjects the state says more than 50 of those books include references to critical race theory among other things like common core and therefore are prohibited under the new standards crt teachings they were banned from florida's classrooms last year orange county classroom teachers association president wendy dormel says she's baffled i can't imagine what is in a math textbook that would indoctrinate a child i'd really love to see some of these rejected books and see what they highlighted yeah so would i because i mean this makes no florida is banning math textbooks because the state says that they teach critical race theory and i'll i'll be honest i don't even understand how that works i don't like i get finding critical race theory in history books or social studies but meth how how well think about it trevor algebra is just a bunch of numbers that rejected their slave names and now go by x [Applause] how yeah trevor also numbers can be very triggering for white people think about it whenever a black man dunks on a white man what's on his shirt that's right numbers and don't get me started on the violence inherent in math i'll never forget the day 789 scarred me for life i'll be honest man i don't know what florida is trying to do here you know but any sane person can agree this is getting out of control i mean it was bad before but this is getting out of control because now it just feels like the state sees critical race theory everywhere in everything you know it's almost like a like a hypochondriac it's like this milkshake is critical race theory what yeah look it's trying to tell us that the white part is keeping the brown man down well maybe the chocolate just needs to work harder maybe you need to relax my man also think about this let's let's play with the logic if they were trying to sneak crt into the schools why would they do it with math math textbooks would be the worst place to do it because who remembers anything they learned in math huh do you remember how to use a hypotenuse huh do you if i said nobody leaves the studio no one until you show me how hypotenuse works we're dying here people we're all dead they're going to find corpses nobody remembers math from school nobody even liam neeson his particular set of skills did not include hypotenuse yeah he's like i will find you and i will kill you they're like well first you have to solve a math problem ah it's fine i'll find another daughter you know i actually wish i actually wish there was crt in math textbooks i actually do yeah because then we could have solved racism by now just by cheating and going to the back of the book with all the answers in it you know just be at the back of me like what is a black batman oh my god why didn't i think of that all right but let's move on from that madness in florida to something that's affecting all of us inflation thanks to inflation practically every company is raising their prices right now yeah for instance here in new york a lot of dollar pizza places are now charging a dollar 25. yeah no no you you think it's minor but it's actually a nightmare because now you either have to carry around an extra quarter with you or you got to give the guy two dollars and now you're carrying around three quarters all day huh what am i supposed to do with that huh do you see slot machines out of the streets of new york huh you're killing me but everyone's raising prices everyone even amazon they just announced that they're charging an extra five percent inflation fee to its merchants who will presumably pass that extra cost onto the customers which i'm sorry people is [ __ ] right because amazon made 33 billion dollars in profit last year if there's any company that can do like just a little to absorb the cost of inflation it's them you know amazon if you're trying to save money next time i buy a toothbrush maybe don't package it in a cardboard box the size of a minivan huh maybe some you can say something [Applause] have you seen the size of the boxes and i got giant boxwood tiny thing now i'm going to take time off to fold it put in my recycling and i'm sad because i thought someone bought me a car now now get this according to a new report and this is really sinister man some companies aren't just raising prices to keep up with inflation no these slick [ __ ] are using inflation as an excuse to gouge their customers and make even more profits than before because you see they know they can get away with it right now think about it a year ago if you saw that the price of something shut up out of nowhere you'd get mad at the company but now when you're paying 100 for detergent you just think it's inflation and you curse joe biden it's brilliant it's brilliant and here's how you know here's how you know that companies don't have to raise their prices they don't have to because one company is refusing to and they're still getting rich you go to the supermarket you'll hook just around and you know that nearly all products are getting more expensive except arizona iced tea the beverage is staying 99 cents a bottle regardless of the rising inflation cost the company's founder and chairman says he is not budging on price on principle the company is privately owned the owner is absorbing the higher cost of everything including the aluminum that the can that the ice tea is in and they're making cuts in other areas don voltagio arizona's 70 year old founder and chairman told the los angeles times quote i don't want to do what the bread guys and the gas guys and everybody else are doing consumers don't need another price increase from a guy like me yeah yeah that's exactly what i'm talking about you see you don't have to squeeze every last dollar out of your customers this guy's keeping his product 99 cents despite inflation and he even puts it on the can so the store can't mark it up yeah as opposed to florida iced tea which does not put its price on the can because those numbers are critical race theory and you know i like it's so rare to see a company that's just like you know what we make enough money yeah we don't need our customers to suffer i bet snapple could do that too if they didn't waste so much money researching those dumb facts i guess i'm here to fill my body with a month's worth of sugar not to learn and put information on the inside i got a sugar higher and let me tell you something if this arizona iced tea company can do this then a company like amazon has no excuse yeah in fact you know what i think you know what i think i think we should all boycott amazon yeah and only order only order like three things a day instead of five yeah make them feel the pain and obviously if you need something if you need something you should still order it i mean no matter what like no i mean there's no need to run out of like bubble bath bombs that goes without saying but aside from that total boycott of more than three things per day yeah i should put activist in my bio [Applause] [Music] for two years now if you've wanted to travel like train plane or dong-shaped spaceship there's one thing you needed to have one a ticket obviously and two you needed to wear a mask well yesterday a federal judge decided that it's time to take our masks off this morning a site we haven't seen in more than a year travelers maskless on planes and walking through airports after a major reversal a federal judge in florida striking down the mass mandate on public transportation the biden administration saying masks are no longer required on planes trains buses and transportation hubs now united american delta southwest jet blue and alaska airlines confirming they will no longer make passengers mask up it's fantastic news queens we are the champions played on loop from behind the sacramento international airport's southwest ticketing counter today and you can see some staff still choosing to wear a face covering others did not i love it i like seeing everybody's face you forget what people look like oh you know i'm actually so happy for that lady you know yeah but but i will say if you forget what your friends and family look like in the time that you're at the airport you need to get that checked yeah or you're spending too much time at the airport what are you doing oh another delay who are you but that's right people as of yesterday mosques are no longer required on flights in america and not just flights amtrak has said you don't have to wear mask on its trains right uber has announced that you don't have to wear masks in their cars but you do still have to smile politely when the driver tells you what he thinks about politics and various cities have said you no longer have to wear masks on their subways or their buses right although here in new york the mta is standing firm they've said you still have to wear a mask on the new york city subway yeah which has nothing to do with covid it's just an extra layer of protection for when you fall asleep and you wake up to find a stranger licking you very common on the f train but from now on when you travel in most places masks are optional which a lot of people are happy about right which makes sense because let's be honest people traveling with masks sucks right your face gets sweaty all right you can't pretend that somebody else's breath that stinks it always feels like someone's using a tiny dull sore on the back of your ears just to cut them off there's a lot of reasons to not like masks is what i'm saying but what a lot of people are unhappy about is how and when this rule was changed you see when they first put in the mask mandates right when they first put it in place they told us when the change would go into effect so people could prepare but for some reason this rule change happened in the middle of people's flights a mid-flight announcement for travelers across the country tonight cheers up in the air as airline crews got word that the national mask mandate was struck down flight attendants on one southwest flight collecting the masks from people excited to ditch them for employees [Applause] will no longer enforce the federal mandate requiring mass in all u.s airports and onboard aircraft have so many questions first of all why are people cheering like that people are cheering like they just said you can take two bags of chips instead of one what hell yeah i'm glad i paid another 300 for economy plus yeah and also that flight attendant who are singing what was that it was like the worst version of the lion king [Applause] that celebration looked like mardi gras in the sky and all types of people were celebrating black wild old young everyone actually if you zoom in on that picture you can wait would you zoom in a little bit more a little closer now enhance enhance oh yeah yeah everyone was celebrating [Applause] it's a big deal so yes many people were celebrating on planes you know they were happy about the mass change but many other passengers were silently pissed off which i totally get because look i don't care what you think of mosques you have to admit it is insane to change a safety rule in the middle of a flight people just as a general rule nothing should change mid-flight ever nothing i don't want the cost changing all right i don't want the cabin pressure changing i definitely don't want my seat changing yeah so that you can sit next to your wife look man you're smothering her ellen okay she booked separate seats for a reason read the signs this is why your marriage is in trouble the point is did you get sad for a fake ellen one of you was like oh alan look man the point is a lot of people only booked that flight in the first place because they felt safe knowing that everyone had to wear masks okay you can't just flip that while people are already on the plane you got to give people a chance to decide if this is something they want to do it's crazy you know like like it's a safety this would be like if a roller coaster decided to change its safety policies when you're already on the ride attention passengers a judge has ruled that we no longer need the safety bars enjoy your ride mommy mommy mommy [Laughter] [Applause] that was a true story so look if you were angry that the rule changed mid-flight i think you have every right to be right we wore masks for what two years on planes i think people could have waited one more day one more day you know people were acting like they were suffocating in their seats oh yes yes i'll have a coke please now because mosques in america have somehow turned into a political battle a lot of people weren't just angry at the judge who made this ruling or at the airlines who instantly allowed the change no a lot of people online are angry at the flight attendants and at the pilots who are celebrating the change but look i don't agree with it and i'll tell you why people forget that flight attendants weren't just happy about the mosques coming off because of politics no a lot of them were happy because of the way people react to mosques and the fact that it has turned their everyday lives basically into ufc fights over wearing a mask on a plane have overwhelmingly made up the number of unruly passengers on flights thousands since the start of the pandemic yeah two years of that i don't even know what was going on like all those people's masks made of cocaine what was going on there you know it's actually amazing that humans can invent jet airplanes to fry fly around the planet you know but then inside those technological marvels we're just wild animals because nobody nobody should be acting that way over a mosque the only time it's appropriate to have that level of emotion on a flight is if the plane is crashing right or if the in-flight entertainment is stuck on mobius i mean then then you can throw punches you throw those punches but that's for the flight attendants they already have to deal with so much [ __ ] i get why they are happy think of all the other things they have to do huh doing overhead tetris with our giant bags and they're helping parents with screaming kids they're giving people barf bags and they have to collect the bath bags back yeah so forgive them if they're happy that they no longer have to be the bouncers of the sky okay they're humans here's what i think people need to understand about this when it comes to wearing masks not everyone is having the same experience that you are remember that yeah you hate the mask because it makes you break out someone else likes the mask because they're immunocompromised and acne is the least of their problems and some people don't really care yeah so they'll wear it if they have to and they won't if they don't that's the truth and i'm just saying i can see this from everyone's side from moscow's side from anti-moscow's side even covet side you know yeah no no if you if you want to infect people that's your truth that's your truth because i can understand why people are happy that they no longer have to spend a six-hour flight feeling like a broke-ass bane and i also get why people want to keep wearing masks my hope is that we can get to a point where we're not villainizing each other over a tiny piece of cloth what are we doing huh it's not sustainable for people to have so much hate for each other like this oh i hate you wearing the mat take it off yeah i hate you i hate you no i don't have power to change what the airlines did no one empowered to do what the judge did we are not those people you know we should be saving our anger for the real enemy all those people who think that a tuna sandwich is appropriate to eat on a plane that's who we fight together n95 isn't going to save you from that [Applause] [Music] netflix today the streaming giant saw their shares drop lower than your grandma when they play september at a wedding and when you're a company worth 150 billion dollars with 200 million subscribers your crash makes everyone panic shares of streaming giant netflix cratering after the company reported losing subscribers for the first time in more than a decade that stock is losing about a quarter of its value in pre-market trading it was already down more than 40 percent year to date netflix saying more than 200 000 subscribers left the service in the first three months of the year now observers are asking if viewers will have to binge watch their favorite netflix show with ads in between it's something ceo reed hastings hasn't ruled out allowing consumers who would like to have a lower price and are advertising tolerant get what they want makes a lot of sense damn netflix is in trouble which is so surprising because me and the 43 people i share my account with we're still watching it all the time we watch all the time like i thought they were doing well and and you know how you know netflix is in trouble is because they're even considering ads yeah they're gonna have like a separate ad section of netflix if you don't want to pay the full thing and you realize for years netflix has hated ads yeah the idea of they treated ads the same way french people treat everything yeah oh what are you breathing oxygen uh what a loser where do you live on earth you're not leaving now now there are many reasons why netflix subscriptions are down right password sharing uh inflation uh reggie john paige leaving bridgeton yeah no i'm sorry you want us to play 15 bucks a month without that ass i don't think so i don't think so 12.99 at best and now netflix executives are being forced to consider multiple options only problem is knowing netflix they're just going to scroll through those options for like 45 minutes before they give up and just put on seinfeld you know if you ask me if you ask me there's no reason to panic right there's people like to panic stock market this stuff but remember this was always bound to happen right remember the netflix reason the reason netflix became netflix in the first place is because it was the only thing out there but now there are tons of streaming services people want to know is this the one that's worth my money you know does it have the widest variety of options like what if someone's looking for the champions league and picard and 1883 plus rugrats and paw patrol for the kids i mean only paramount plus has that full range and quality and most importantly they keep me employed so that seems like a pretty good deal to me yeah look man the point is the point is the king of streaming is struggling right now and i really hope that they make it through i honestly do i like netflix because without netflix there's no netflix and chill [Music] and that would be a disaster we need the pretense of watching netflix for six minutes before we start the sex yeah otherwise what are you gonna text people do you want to come over for sex how would that even work [Music] all right let's make like a retired dentist and move to florida as you know america's flaccid penis recently passed the don't say gay law you covered your face like you've never seen you've seen that you're like oh that's the first time you've looked at it before and you said it was flaccid so they passed the don't say gay law which puts limits on how schools can talk about sex and gender issues and this has upsets a lot of people including the folks at the walt disney company because so many of their creative staff are lgbtq yeah if you're surprised how can you be surprised like what do you think why do you think disney's always killing off straight parents they hate breeders think about it it's a conspiracy so disney denounced the bill and then florida governor rhonda sanctus he denounced disney and now the feud is escalating even further the feud between florida governor ron desantis and disney is growing yesterday he asked the state legislature to repeal a 1967 law allowing disney to operate a private government for its properties in the state including disney world disney's special self governance which covers 40 square miles allows the company to provide many of its own services like fire departments road construction and building and zoning the move could leave disney on the hook for millions of dollars a year in local taxes and with less autonomy over its property this state is governed by the interest of the people of the state of florida it is not based on the demands of california corporate executives oh yes the census so sassy look at you with your one hand huh just doing like a little one hand trump we're not gonna be told what to do not at all but yeah the governor of florida is using the power of the government listen to me now he's using the power of the government to punish disney because they don't agree with his politics yeah and can we can we just admit that most republicans are not even republicans anymore right because for like 100 years the whole thing has been that there's nothing worse than the government telling businesses what to do and now they're going to use the law to punish corporations for their opinions all because they think that disney's gotten too woke yeah and minnie's had a few abortions the first few years [Music] sorry was i oh she told me that in confidence i'm nikki didn't know i'm sorry guys yeah i mean i i thought corporations were people or in disney's case rodents the size of people and it's especially weird to hear these republicans now saying corporations are getting too many special deals we need to have stiffer regulations and make them pay more taxes more taxes that's what rhonda sanchez is saying now for a corporation so basically conservatives are so freaked out about wokeness that is turning them into liberals yeah it is in fact in fact if you think about it if liberals if liberals are smart they should start harnessing this and like hyping up oil companies you know yeah aoc should just come out and be like exxon mobil is such a good ally they support black lives matter they always use people's preferred pronouns and then all of a sudden republicans be like what destroy eggs on tear them down cover them with solar panels we got to end this wokeness now i will say this i will say this run the sanctus aside aside i do think it's a little weird that disney gets all these special perks where it's basically its own country do you understand how crazy that is like i never knew that they were allowed to run their own government basically you know the only thing i did know is that they have their own jail yeah no i i didn't know and this is this is true in disney world if you get in trouble they have a little jail that they hold you in until they sort out the issue yeah it's their own jurisdiction they own everything i've actually been in there but it was only because i jumped off the ride in the middle like in the africa part of it's a small world i thought i saw some of my friends it was a misunderstanding it could have happened to anyone like sophie were like ah see and then i jumped and there's a whole thing but still man it's pretty ballsy of his anxious to pick a fight with mickey mouse mickey is one of florida's largest employers and he never turns the other cheek oh boy ron desantis claims to be a conservative but right now he's acted like a liberal [ __ ] he's raising taxes on a beloved florida corporation say hello to 50 turkey legs he's using big government to silence our small family business i guess it's a socialist world after all you didn't hear this from me but when ron desantis went into the haunted mansion this loser straight up [ __ ] himself no joke he got so scared from a children's ride he made a big old dookie ride his pants huh ron desantis is the dumbest [ __ ] i know and i'm friends with a guy named dopey ron desantis wrong for florida wrong for america pooped his pants i'm mickey mouse and i'll cut a [ __ ] wow mickey does not play around [Applause] [Music] as you know as you know nothing yo [Applause] there are now more streaming services than hot takes about elon musk right there's everything there's there's netflix there's hulu there's paramount plus there's hbo max there's paramount plus and of course everyone's favorite paramount plus and so last month seeing the gap in the market cnn launched its own streaming service called cnn plus and this was a big deal in fact they said it would be the future of news and if that's the case the future's looking bleak less than a month after launching cnn plus announced today the streaming service is shutting down it launched march 29th warner brothers discovery networks made that decision though saying it was about quality and quote customers will be best served with a simpler streaming choice last week cnbc reported that the streaming service had less than 10 000 views a day about 300 million dollars has been invested so far in cnn plus the plan according to my sources was to put a billion dollars into it over the course of four years hoping to hit profit after four years wow did they say that less than 10 000 views a day you could have just been on tech talk that's wild cnn plus was such a disaster they'll have to send anderson cooper to cover it in a tight black t-shirt this is so insane the craziest part of the story is that they said they spent 300 million dollars on this thing 300 million dollars what did you do with that did you like clone wolf blitz or something no cause if you did that i'd actually watch that show yeah i would i've got breaking news no i've got breaking news [Applause] but you want to know what the worst part about the cnn plus thing is is that i can't make jokes about all the shows on it because nobody knows what they are yeah it's not fair it's not like you're gonna understand a joke about the cnn plus show jake tappers book club because you don't even know if that's a real show but it is or is it no i'm kidding it's fake it's fake ah you believe me it's actually real you see you don't know that's my choice you don't know it is a real show oh it was a real show all right but let's move on to a different spectacular disaster rudy giuliani former aide to donald trump and lawyer who makes all his clients look innocent in comparison since his role in the attempt to overthrow the 2020 election giuliani has largely disappeared from public view like a snail retreating into its shell but way more disgusting and if there's one thing america loves it's a big comeback and last night rudy got his a little bit of controversy on the mass singer last night personal lawyer to former president donald trump and former new york city mayor rudy giuliani popped out of a giant rooster suit while singing a rendition of bad to the bone [Music] but as he revealed himself this is what happened judge ken john stormed off the stage apparently didn't like it saying i'm done yeah rudy giuliani just got voted off the masked singer which means he's about to spend the next five years claiming that he actually won the mask and i guess history history was made last night because for the first time in the master singer's history a contestant took off their mask and everyone's like no no put it back on put it back down put it on we don't want to get put back on [Applause] it's also weird how rudy has the time to be on a game show but he's too busy to testify in front of congress [Music] like maybe they should have just tricked them right congress should have just like made it seem like it was the most thing and combine the whole thing pop him in the giant costume and then shoot him in front of the janitor committee let's do it yeah that's the game show america needs bernie sanders would be sitting there like oh based on his other disregard for democracy i'm going to guess the rooster is rudy giuliani let's take up the map and see see who we are it was him i told you it was him i could see that they're melting through the mask i could see it before we go nearly 4 000 homes have been destroyed and more than 40 000 people have been displaced by the floods and the mudslides happening in south africa now gift of the givers is a south african based disaster relief organization that are on the ground helping those people who are affected by the floods so if you want to help them in the work that they're doing to act fast and to save lives then please donate at the link below anything you can give will help [Music]
