cheers and applause larry thank you very much. Thank you so much. Man what a crowd thank you. Larry Larry Larry Larry larry thank you so much. So kind. Larry larry, larry. Larry thank you so much, guys. I appreciate it. Welcome to the nightly show. Im your host larry wilmore. Im so excited save some of that, because peaches is on the show tonight. cheers and applause so excited. So excited by that. Okay, anyhow, so much to do tonight, a lot to do. Larry, larry, larry, larry. Sorry to interrupt, but i have an announcement to make larry oh, hey, robin. Robin thede, everybody. cheers and applause robin. So, whats going on, robin . Its Harriet Tubman day, larry larry oh, yeah, thats right i forgot. Happy Harriet Tubman day and a happy Harriet Tubman day to you. Larry all right, okay. applause this day is so exciting i mean, when she refused to give up her seat on that bus larry wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, robin. That was rosa parks. Oh, i know. But you know who doesnt . Most people. And i went out to prove it. Im talking to people about Harriet Tubman at manhattans underground railroad. Happy Harriet Tubman day thank you. Yay tell me your favorite thing about Harriet Tubman. Um. Um. Probably when she said, let me people go. I think that was moses. You didnt think that through. Whats your favorite thing about Harriet Tubman . I know she rocked some mean geri curl. You watch the oscars this year . Just for leo. Right, because Harriet Tubman wasnt even nominated. We have to do something about that. I think it was really rude that they snubbed her at the oscars this year. What do you joong maybe its because what she was wearing. Did you know she went by the name Sojourner Truth . Yes, yes, i can. Whats the best way to celebrate Harriet Tubmans. Go to a club and free some trades. Shiefs taking her last breath and then she said . If you liked it, you should have put a ring on it. Thank you, thank you. And thats why Harriet Tubman should be on the 10 bill because people dont know bleep about her. Larry very nice. Robin thede, everybody. Robin thede. All right okay, june will mark the oneyear anniversary of the Supreme Courts landmark decision to legalize gay marriage. cheers and applause larry yes, go for it. June will also mark the fourmonth anniversary of Justice Scalias murder. Incidentally, look at what the cops just dug up in o. J. s yard. Thats right, im saying o. J. Killed justice scalia. Im on the record. He just likes to kill. laughter what he does. So the Supreme Court decision that constitutionally guarantees a right to samesex marriage is nearly nine months old, you guys. So looks like Somebody Just got that first tooth, and though theyre not walking, theyre definitely cruising. Or are they . The republicanled Missouri Senate just approved a proposal. It passed this morning after republicans broke a morethan30hour filibuster led by democrats. Larry since this is missouri, i naturally assumed the proposal must be about changing the state animal to anything besides a mule. I mean, seriously, how is that your animal . But the proposal actually had to do with missouris other top priority oppressing gay people. The proposal would forbid the state of missouri from imposing any penalties on businesses that denied service to samesex couples on religious grounds. Larry so its ok to deny service to two women getting hitched, but you love it so much when two animals of a different species do it, that you made it your state animal applause okay, just wanted to clear that about that. Thats what you like. Now, if theres a state that knows anything about depriving people of their liberties its missouri hashtag ferguson. Just take a look at the wording of the bill. It prohibits the state from imposing a penalty on a religious organization who acts in accordance with a sincere religious belief concerning samesex marriage. Acts in accordance . What exactly does that mean . I feel like the showme state is hiding how they really feel about something. I mean, this language is so vague that heterodonuts can not only refuse to bake donuts for gay weddings. It also means heterodonuts can fire its gay baker because he just got engaged to the gay baker at homodonuts. laughter why gay baker went to work at heterodonuts in the first place, is beyond me. But the heart wants what it wants. As a black man, i can tell you these laws that purport to protect a threatened majority at the expense of a group that has just won its freedom is nothing new. There were a series of laws imposed on newly freed blacks after emancipation, now known as jim crow, not to be confused with series of a laws that forced blacks to listen to Peter Gabriel in the 80s called cameron crowe. laughter thank you very much. But now in missouri, we once again have the dominant culture claiming that theyre the ones being victimized. And the man who introduced this bill, state senator bob onder said, no one should be compelled to make a work with their own hands thats offensive to their beliefs. If no one made things with their hands that was offensive to their beliefs, quiznos would cease to exist. Just saying. So these restrictions have passed the Missouri Senate and will now go forward to the house, where theyre also expected to pass. Now since this missouri bill is supposedly about religious freedom, i wanted to talk to an expert on the issue. Please welcome our lord and savior, jesus christ. Larry larry hey, jesus, hows it going . A black guy in late night. Kudos to comedy central. So cool, man. Even i couldnt make that happen. Larry oh, thanks, jesus. Okay, is there any justification for this bill in missouri attacking gay marriage and making it about religious freedom . Oh, yes, larry, please. These christians are being persecuted at the highest level. I mean, theyre being rounded up, forced into camps, fed to the lions. I am just messing with you, man. Missouri is just a state full of assholes. Assholes. Larry jesus, please, please, i didnt expect that kind of language from you. Un, i was alive during the middle ages. Larry i get it. So you dont think people being forced to serve someone whose values they dont agree with is a form of christians being persecuted . Larry, seriously man, stop it. Christians in america dont even persecute their priests for fondling little boy, all right . Did you guys not see spotlight . Hello. Larry i did. It was a fantastic movie. It was great to have keaton back. Even i was praying for that. Larry lets stay on point. So youre saying this has nothing to do with persecution. Larry, i feel like if anyone knows anything about religious persecution, its this guy, i was literally crucified for my religious beliefs. Larry im not sure if thats the correct analogy. So you think its wrong for a business to deny service to gay customers . Yeah. But dont forget, man. I was a business man. I was a carpenter. I had a pretty sweet shop. Im noting if to lie. People are always focusing on my jesus thing. Larry your jesus thing . Larry, i only jesued for, like, three years, from 30 to 33. I had a pretty good run as a it was more like two and a half years. You know what i mean . Larry i get it. I. I had to make plenty of things with my hands for people i did not agree with. Gl really . This is a true story. Once i carved end tables for a roman who i knew would later try to stone me. Not cool. Larry that is not cool. Youre absolutely right. But you made them anyway because you had love and compassion for all, right . Back in those papers it was all about getting the paper. Stack your money til you need a ladder, as my dawg 2 chainz says. Larry jesus, one final question about this missouri bill. What would jesus do . Seriously. Larry yeah. Youre going to make me answer that bracelet question. Larry i just thought if you want me to answer your to nut dilemma, why dont you look at whats going on in africa. I have a lot on my plate right now. Basic cable. Larry dont even worry about it. Jesus christ, everybody. Well be right back. Getting unlimited data for your family is a struggle.

Hashtags rise and fall, instagrams are deleted, and snapchats disappear in an instant. So to help us keep up, were starting a new segment called hash it out, with Franchesca Ramsey. Franchesca. cheers and applause thanks, larry. Well, its march, and you know what that means its womens History Month. And this past tuesday was also International Womens day. Now, i know what youre thinking isnt that excessive . Do women really need an extra special day in their special womens month . Maybe youre right, but then again, women have periods, carry babies, and make significantly less money than men. cheers and applause so were keeping the bleep day. cheers and applause sadly, no matter how many days we get, women never have it easy. And that holds just as true on twitter. The first big social media freakout this week came when reality tv star Kim Kardashian tweeted out a nude selfie with the caption when youre like, i have nothing to wear l. O. L. Okay. Certainly nothing we havent seen before. No big deal. At least i thought it wasnt, until i checked twitter. Here are a handful of the responses. Youre a mother. Youre a bleep mother. And, of course, my favorite, thats not the way you should carry yourself as a mother and wife. Thats not how she should carry herself as a wife . Shes married to kanye west laughter applause i mean, this is a dude who has lyrics about not wanting to get asshole bleach on his tshirt. Hes not exactly reginald veljohnson. laughter applause cheers sorry, ever since we found out that other guy is a serial rapist, reginalds how the goto tv dad. Secondly, since when does your status as a parent dictate whether or not people can see you naked . A womans sex appeal isnt like an orgy, where once a kid shows up everything has to stop. And twitters woman policing didnt stop with Kim Kardashian. This week, sportscaster erin andrews was awarded 55 million in a civil lawsuit after she was secretly recorded naked during a hotel stay. A woman getting justice for a gross violation of her privacy . Sounds like awesome news to me cheers and applause but, once again, i had to ruin my good mood by reading tweets like these. Erin andrews awarded 55 million . Can someone look through my hotel room peephole please . . . . She looks good in video, nothing embarrassing. Why is she bothered. 55 million. Ridiculous. Anyone wanna film my dick thru a peep hole in a hotel so i can make 55 million bucks real quick . No. No one wants to film that. laughter now, clearly, these people are graduates of Twitter Law School where the motto is just because you dont understand the law doesnt mean you shouldnt have an opinion about it. Erin andrews was awarded that money because her privacy was invaded and then broadcast to 17 Million People online. And now shes got to face twitter asholes who say her security isnt worth millions of dollars . Is anyone else confused here . On the one hand, Kim Kardashians voluntarily shared mombod is sacred and needs protecting. On the other hand, erin andrewss justchillinginahotelminding myownbusinessbod is fine for public consumption. There are more mixed signals here than a Facebook Status about your dead grandma with 100 likes. laughter applause let me spell this out for you. Women are allowed to do whatever the hell they want with their bodies and no one gets to decide otherwise. cheers and applause and no one has a right to your body, no matter who you are, unless you give them permission and that applies in person and on screen.

First up, nightly show contributor holly walker. cheers and applause and nightly show contributor grace parra. cheers and applause and her album rub is out now on i u she music, canadian electronic musician and performance artist, peaches. cheers and applause and for everyone at home, join our conversation right now on twitter nightlyshow using the hashtag tonightly. We talked about this earlier in the show. Kim kardashian posted this need photo of herself earlier this week. Oh larry, of course, anything she does gets a lot of attention. Some people bashed her for setting feminism backwards, while others applauded her being comfortable enough with her body to share it. This is 20 16. Why are we still getting upset with womens body . I think its human nature. One of the first stories in the body is being upset about a womans naked body. That is true. applause larry where do you think all why do you think people are so upset . Is it cothey think she cant be a role mod pel . People were use that word role model. To me theres nothing more role modely than being comfortable with your titties. I think its great. What better lesson to teach your children than love the skin youre in. Larry remember, honey, be comfortable with your titties. Those kids are really close to those titties. You know. Larry do you think a lot of the slamming is just because shes Kim Kardashian . Oh, yeah. Larry because didnt bette midler do that first . Yeah, yeah. Sharon osbourne was in solidarity and tweeted a naked picture, whichis thought was amazing, especially because everything that Sharon Osbourne has been through. And, also, shes not a young, you know, Kim Kardashians body type. So i thought that was really amazing, actually. Larry she had to live with ozzie for all those years. Let it rip now and i think you can be a naked woman and be a role model because if Dame Helen Mirren was showing them titties, like i would very much like try to emulate her. Yeah, yeah. Larry you would try to emulate it . Yeah laughter larry i love that the the dame is one. The Dame Helen Mirren. Dame helin mirren, if you show those titties, i will show my titties, too. Larry that sound like a nightly show challenge upon oh, my god what is her next movie . Who is she playing next . If Kim Kardashian was venus de milo, we wouldnt have a problem with her taking selfies because she wouldnt have arms. laughter larry youve been using a sexuality in your work i mean all the time. How do you deal with the haters . There are haters out there. Yeah, let me know, because im about to go naked. You steam roll them. You just keep going and, you know, if you dont have haters then you dont youre not doing anything. Oh applause . So its really complicated for women because not only do we have to deal with being objectified, but then deal with being empowered and then deal with being called a bitch for being empowered or whatever it is. applause but, also, recognize that actually, men have never had to deal with that, that objectification. It just doesnt work that way. Larry and men always speaking of men no, because men have the power. They always do what they wanted to do and its your job to get over it. And now women are doing whati n the bleep they want and its your job to get over it. Its mott nigh job to get over it. Like beyonce said its your job to deal with it. The madonna whore complex forever. The idea that you are either a whore somebody who is a shute, shute, 2 x 4 i had to think about that. Larry i really want to know what your childhood was like. I really do. I never heard that one. Or youre a madonna, and you are, you know, like this virginal creature. So i think we have to get rid of both of those and become whoredonnas, and embrace both sides. Thats what it is. We have to accept women as whole people, right. I think we need to get. cheers and applause but i think that the cob accept the of whore itself is horrible because we dont call men whoers as we would call men. If a woman has a strong sexual desire and likes to have sex thats okay. Why does she have to be a whore. Larry holly, if a woman wants to show her titties on the nightly show, why ydoes she have to be a whore . Thats exactly right. Justin bieber also tweeted a naked photo of himself and this didnt happen. Because nobody wants to see
