Planes. Greta thunberg is joining us, everybody. cheers and applause also on tonights show, vaping will be illegal. Lewis black is here to save the future. And one of the worlds biggest drug dealers is finally paying up. So lets catch up on todays headlines. Lets kick it off with some big news out of washington because the vaping industry may be about to go up in smoke. President trump will propose banning all flavored ecigarettes after the c. D. C. Reported at least six people may have died from vapingrelated illnesses. Vaping has become a very big business, as i understand it, like a giant business in a very short period of time. But we cant allow people to get sick, and we cant have our youth be so affected. And im hearing it. And thats how the first lady got involved. Shes got a son together that is a a beautiful young man. And she feels very, very strongly about it. laughter trevor shes got a son . laughter you mean the son she made with you . laughter how on earth does trump forget that he has a son . Hes like the worlds worst dad. Its like him and darth vader, you know. laughter no, actually, thats wrong. At least darth vader claimed his son. If trump was the dark lord he would be like, luke, she is your mother. laughter but, look, you cant fault trump for not being super eager to claim responsibility for his son. I mean, the dude has been burned twice. Lets be honest, you know. But back to the story, back to the story. The Trump Administration is planning to ban all flavored ecigarettes, which i think is a great move. Because clearly these companies have been targeting kids, right. I mean, just listen to the flavors. Youve got mango, jelly bean, birthday cake. Those are clearly for kids, right. Adults dont flavor their drugs. Like, i watched narcos, there was never a moment where someone was like, let me sample your product, man. Ah, yeah, butterscotch, i like it. laughter moving on. While 10 democrats are gearing up for tomorrows third democratic president ial debate, one candidate who will not be on the stage has figured out a way to have his voice heard. In the race for the white house, president ial candidate tim ryan is trying a new approach to reach voters, through the Music Streaming Service spotify. Ryan released a policy album that people can listen to. It has 10 tracks that include his stand on gun control, immigration, and Climate Change. Its titled on spotify a new and better agenda. Trevor okay, okay. Tim ryan has released a policy album on spotify . Ehhh laughter yeah. I mean, it might be a good way to connect with voters, but its going to mess up somebodys date night. Yeah, because what if shuffle is on your spotify, you have somebody over, youre trying to set a romantic mood, you know, and all of a sudden the music is playing. Ill make love to you then all of a sudden t it be my policy regarding the something if this blew up and tim ryan had to quit politics because hes now the biggest music star. laughter reporter is like tim ryan, are you going to be at the next debate . No, man, im going to be opening for cardi b. Beo stage like, new york, make some noise if you like student alone deferments. Mcdonalds plans to speed up the drivethrough. It acquired apprente. It specializes in conversationation voicebased technology. It understands different accents and mcdonalds expects to allow more accurate ordering through the drivethrough. Trevor yes, mcdonalds is going to use computers to take our orders at the drivethrough because they say a. I. Will be more efficient. Honestly, i dont know how i feel about a robot at the drivethrough. What are you going to explain. I want to see the manager. And the terminator comes out. Is there a problem here . No, sir, i wanted this roach in my fries. But i do appreciate mcdonalds trying to speed up service for people with accents. Thats a cool thing. The thing is i dont think accents were the problem at the drivethrough. You know whats slowing it down. Its the picky assholes who slow down things. Can i get a number one with no. Drinks and no fries. And instead of burger get the chicken mcnugget. Thats the number 5. Just order the number 5. No, i prefer the number one. And i amend it, okay. No matter what, im in favor of mcdonalds increasing their line efficiency because that means it will give President Trump more time to spend with his wifes son. All right, thats it for the headlines. Lets move on to our stop story. cheers and applause the opioid crisis. Over the course of two decades, millions of americans have become addicted to these painkillers. And after years of people demanding that someone be held accountable, the Drug Companies are finally starting to pay a price. There is word tonight of a settlement involving thousands of lawsuits tied to the opioid crisis. Oxycontin maker Purdue Pharma has reached an agreement with 20 states and about 2,000 local governments over its role in the deadly epidemic. The company will pay up to 12 billion over time, with 3 billion coming from the Sackler Family. They own Purdue Pharma, and will also give up control of the company. Trevor you know, ill be honest with you. Im torn about this story. Yes, im happy that the Opioid Companies will have to pay, but at the same time, they misled sick people about how addictive their drugs were. They also lobbied to lift limits on how many opioids doctors could prescribe. And then now that theyve made billions of dollars off an epidemic that caused countless deaths, they just get to be like, how about we give you some of that money back and well call it even. I think its bullshit. Ill be honest. Its like somebody broke into your house, stole your stuff, and got busted, and they say, how about we break off 100 even. Thats my wallet. Okay, 120, 120 but i get to keep the library card, okay . Even though this opioid crise has been in the news the past few years, the family who profited most from a lot of this devastation has managed to remain fairly anonymous. But now, were finally meeting the men behind the curtain. For the first time, were now seeing and hearing from dr. Richard sackler, the former chairman and president of Purdue Pharma, respond to questions under oath. Do you know how much the Sackler Family has made off the sale of oxycontin . I dont know. Do you know if its over 10 billion . I dont think so. Do you know if its over 5 billion . I dont know. But fair to say its over 1 billion. It would be fair to say that, yes. Trevor really . Really . This guy is going to act like he doesnt know if he made a billion dollars. Get the bleep out of here, man. See him acting like hes thinking about it, did i. I guess you could say. Hes acting like he had to count up all that change. I did get 10 from grandma. Made 150 from the yard. 1 billion for lying to thousands of americans and killing them with painkillers. Oh, and i got the library card, yeah, the library card. And the sacklers, they arent the only ones facing consequences for their role in fueling the opioid epidemic, right. Everyones favorite baby shampoo company has also been told its time to pay up. Yesterday, an oklahoma judge ruled that opioids ravaged the state and ordered Johnson Johnson to pay 572 million. The judge said that the company intentionally misled the public about the dangers of its drugs. Johnson johnsons stock was up as much as 5 since the company was ordered to pay far less than many investors expected. Trevor yeah, you heard that right. Johnson johnson stock actually went up after they were fined 572 million because they expected the punishment to be much worse. They expected the punishment to be worse. Yeah. And that tells you something. Its like a guy coming out of the shower and his girlfriend is like, ah, you youve got some explaining to do. I was looking through your phone, and who is this puppy you met . It is adorable. laughter you know i love puppies. Why didnt tell me . And the guy is like, oh, yeah, oh, the puppy that im totally not having sex with, yeah, the puppy. laughter so as it stands, these Drug Companies are going to pay a bunch of fines, not even admit responsibility, and no one seems to be going to jail. Which is insane when you think about it. Like, just think about the levels here. Prosecutors want Felicity Huffman to go to jail for cheating in a College Admissions scandal. They w that. But the people responsible for thousand these people are basically very formal drug dealers who are now protected just because theyre a corporation. But if you look at someone like el chapo, whats the major difference . It will be like its more violent. Yes, but fundamentally, hes a drug dealer. They were drug dealers. The feds took his money, and hes spending the rest of his life in prison. So if you think about it, el chapo really only made one big mistake he shouldnt have been a drug lord. He should have been the c. E. O. Of el chapo inc. Well be right back. cheers and applause 60 of women wear the wrong size pad, and can experience leaks. You dont have to with always my fit try the next size up and get up to 20 better coverage day or night because better coverage means better protection always.

We always knew we had a lot of life ahead of us. mom remember this . mom vo thats why we chose a car that we knew would be there for us through it all. male vo welcome to the allnew 2019 subaru forester. The longestlasting, most trusted forester ever. cheers and applause trevor welcome back to the daily show. When a new story falls through the cracks, lewis black catches it for a segment we call back in black. cheers and applause technology its everywhere iphones, tablets. Here in new york city, weve even replaced our old phone booth with giant screens. And ill admit, its a lot harder to take a dump in them. But i usually figure it out. The point is no matter where you look, theres a screen. And i think its great. You know, when i was a kid, all we had to stare at was that thing on my uncle harrys neck. laughter it was mesmerizing. laughter but, surprise, surprise the thing we liked most is as bad for kids as a weekend at jeffrey epsteins. An alarming report that every parent should see how much screen time doctors say is too much. Theres a new danger that doctors are concerned about now. All that screen time is prematurely aging their eyes. And the damage could be permanent. A group of doctors say kids use so much tech that they cannot hold a pen or pencil because they lack the Hand Strength and dexterity. One doctor arguing that all screen time can even turn kids into psychotic junkies. Psychotic junkies come on kids are psychotic junkies laughter with or without phones applause havent you ever been to a chuck e. Cheese . Bring out a pepperoni pie and see who doesnt get the shakes. laughter if kids are just becoming crazy now, then why did i get a vasectomy 30 years ago . But, apparently, kids having too much screen time is a bad thing. So some parents are forcing their children to take a vow of abstinence. Thousands of parents are taking a pledge to wait to give their child a smartphone. More than 20,000 people have signed the wait until 8th pledge, committing to wait until the eighth grade to give their child a cell phone. I saw these kids flooding out at the end of the school day, and all of their heads were down and they were completely oblivious to the world around them. Thats right, kids. Get off your phone and look at the world around you. laughter youre missing all the hate crimes, pollution, and sweet, sweet death by vaping. laughter wait till eighth grade to use a phone . Good luck with that. If you dont introduce these kids to technology immediately, they might as well be amish. If i had a kid laughter if i had a kid, he wouldnt be out back milking a cow. Hed be shackled in his room beta testing his new block jane i. P. O. I dont know what the bleep i just said. But who cares . Im going to be rich applause still, i get why regular parents limit screen time. But what really pisses me off is that the parents most worried about the screens are the ones who gave us those screens in the first place. You might think Silicon Valley movers and shakers are consumed by the technology they create, but a growing number of parents in the Tech Industry are restricting or banning screen time for their kids. Take a look at what some of the people who make those products want their kids to do with them. This private Silicon Valley classroom turned its back on tech. More parents in Silicon Valley are asking nannies to police their childs screen time. In some cases, the addiction is so bad, theyre asked to hide the technology all together, and sign a no phone contract. Hold on a second so these screens are fine for our kids but not for yours you Silicon Valley people dont get to shield their families from the problems they created. In fact, every time they introduce a new brainzapping gizmo, they should have to test it out on their own brats first. laughter hey, kids daddy made something that might cause cancer. Could you stare at it for me . laughter applause these tech pushers need to stand by their own product. Thats why i love the koolaid man. Not only is he koolaid. He carries around an extra jug of koolaid applause just in case he runs out of himself now, thats what i call integrity laughter but its not realistic to expect Silicon Valley to take responsibility for their actions. Thats why, as a public service, i, lewis black, have developed an app to help keep their kids off their phones. Its super hightech. Take a look. Put your goddamn phone down laughter whoa there is a lot of porn on this phone trevor . Trevor lewis black, everyone. Well be right back. cheers and applause therthen he tried tostitoshael scoops and salsa. And he started following them in real life. Hey, mike. Sup. Oh tostitos. Get together already.

Finally, a refreshing lager that you can taste. Barb, i can taste my beer. cheers and applause trevor welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is an amazing 16yearold climate activist whose solitary School Strike for climate outside the Swedish Parliament inspired a global youth movement. Adults keep saying, we owe it to the young people to give them hope. But i dont want your hope. I dont want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear i feel every day. And then i want you to act. Trevor yeah. She recently sailed cheers and applause she recently sailed from britain to new york city in a zeroemissions racing boat to participate in the upcoming Global Climate strike and u. N. Climate action summit. So, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the daily show, greta thunberg. cheers and applause welcome to the daily show. Thank you so much. Trevor and welcome to new york city. You came here on a zeroemissions boat. And part of me thinks thats because you love the climate. The other part of me wonders if thats just your viking heritage. laughter maybe it is. Trevor it might be . Yeah. Trevor tell me why you did that. Why didnt you fly to new york city to come and, you know, speak at the u. N. And, you know, inspire people to move forward in the Climate Change movement . I did it because i have, since a few years, stopped flying because of the enormous impact aviation has on the climate individually, and just to make a stand. And i am one of the very few people in the world who can actually do such a trip. So i thought, why not . Trevor wow. applause i mean, i know i wouldnt do that as a kid. And i wouldnt do it now. laughter but what is inspiring is your determination. And whats inspiring is that it doesnt just affect other young people. Its started to affect older generations in sweden, in germany. People are starting to call it the greta effect, where people are taking more trains. Since you started this movement, they say theyre ashamed to fly unnecessarily in europe. Your mom is an opera singer and she stopped flying, which means she couldnt perform the way she used to. Do you sometimes feel bad she cant perform, or are you more excited that shes not part of, i guess, polluting the planet. I dont care, honestly, about how she performs. laughter applause shes shes doing musicals now. So, i mean, she had to change career, but it wasnt that big. laughter trevor and the planet is the most important thing for you. Yeah. I mean, for all of us, i think it should be. applause trevor why do you think why do you think young people are so focused on Climate Change now . Theres a definite disconnect between older generations and younger generations when talking about the climate. Why do you think that is . I mean, i think it is because we, in a way, feel like it is more a direct threat. Others feel like, i wont be alive then, anyway, so screw it. laughter but we we actually know that these consequences will face us during our lifetime. And it is
