Well, next to me here is flamingo chick number three for the season. So, this little guy is 12 days old now. The really exciting thing about this guy is
potentially he's a new generation for us. The chick that we raised three seasons ago has paired up with the female that laid this egg, so, we'll have to do some DNA testing
to confirm, but, yeah, potentially that's really exciting, and we've got a new generation of flamingos.
So, this is flamingo chick hand-rearing formula. So, there's all sorts of different vitamins
and things in there, there's fish and prawns, some egg yolk and a lot of human baby food as well. What we don't want is for this guy to completely imprint on us, so, we try and not talk to him as much as we can and when we're here feeding him, we'll just play him adult noises. This little guy is getting fed six times a
day.
Today he's up to 30mls per feed, so it's quite a lot for a little bird and then that increases every day, so, they really do get a lot of
food in the first month or so. As with most youngsters, he doesn't like being cleaned. So, now that he's all fed and relatively
happy, he's quieted down a bit now, we'll go and check the other two out. So, these are obviously the older two, who
are looking much more like flamingos now than their younger cousin over there.
So, this big guy is almost two months old now, and the little guy here is about six weeks old and as you can see on the big guy, he's starting to get his pink feathers through, so he's looking more and more like a flamingo every day. Of course, there's a big size difference now between these guys and the little one, so we might have to wait until the little one has grown up a wee bit before we integrate these guys all into the exhibit. So, in the next month or so, we'll start getting the three of them over to start meeting some adults..

Trumps Lawyers Want Him to Refuse an Interview in Russia Inquirytick tock news
Lawyers for President Trump have advised him
against sitting down for a wide-ranging interview with the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller
III, according to four people briefed on the matter, raising the specter of a monthslong
court battle over whether the president must answer questions under oath. His lawyers are concerned that the president,
who has a history of making false statements and contradicting himself, could be charged
with lying to investigators. Their stance puts them at odds with Mr.
Trump,
who has said publicly and privately that he is eager to speak with Mr. Mueller as part
of the investigation into possible ties between his associates and Russias election interference,
and whether he obstructed justice. Mr. Trumps decision about whether to speak
to prosecutors, expected in the coming weeks, will shape one of the most consequential moments
of the investigation.
Refusing to sit for an interview opens the
possibility that Mr. Mueller will subpoena the president to testify before a grand jury,
setting up a court fight that would drastically escalate the investigation and could be decided
by the Supreme Court. Rejecting an interview with Mr. Mueller also
carries political consequences.
It would be certain to prompt accusations
that the president is hiding something, and a court fight could prolong the special counsel
inquiry, casting a shadow over Republicans as Novembers midterm elections approach
or beyond into the presidents re-election campaign. But John Dowd, the longtime Washington defense
lawyer hired last summer to represent Mr. Trump in the investigation, wants to rebuff
an interview request, as do Mr. Dowds deputy, Jay Sekulow, and many West Wing advisers,
according to the four people.
The lawyers and aides believe the special
counsel might be unwilling to subpoena the president and set off a showdown with the
White House that Mr. Mueller could lose in court. Continue reading the main story

They are convinced that Mr. Mueller lacks the legal standing to question Mr.
Trump about
some of the matters he is investigating, like the presidents role in providing a misleading
response last summer to a New York Times article about a meeting Mr. Trumps son Donald Trump
Jr. Had with Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton. The advisers have also argued that on other
matters like the allegations that the president asked James B.
Comey, then the F.B.I.
Director, to end the investigation into the former national security adviser Michael T.
Flynn the president acted within his constitutional authority and cannot be questioned about acts
that were legal. One of the few voices arguing for cooperating
with Mr. Mueller is Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer whom Mr. Trump also brought on to deal
with Mr.
Muellers investigation. Since Mr. Cobb was hired in July, he has argued
that the White House should do everything possible to cooperate with Mr. Muellers
investigation.
But Mr. Dowd has taken the lead on dealing
with the special counsel about an interview and has been discussing the matter with Mr.
Muellers office since December. Others close to Mr. Trump have also cautioned
him against a freewheeling interview.
Marc E. Kasowitz, the presidents longtime
personal lawyer from New York who initially dealt with the special counsel after Mr. Mueller
took over the Russia investigation last May, has also consistently said that the president
should not agree to the interview. Chris Christie, the former governor of New
Jersey who led the presidential transition team until just after the election, bluntly
said last week that Mr.
Trump should reject a request to be questioned. I dont think the president of the United
States, unless there are credible allegations which I dont believe there are should
be sitting across from a special counsel, he said on ABCs Good Morning America. Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and
an informal adviser to Mr. Trump, echoed that advice.
The idea of putting Trump in a room with
five or six hardened, very clever lawyers, all of whom are trying to trick him and trap
him, would be a very, very bad idea, Mr. Gingrich said last month on Fox and Friends. Presidents have often agreed to speak with
federal prosecutors who are investigating their actions or those close to them. But President Richard M.
Nixon refused to
turn over to the special prosecutor investigating him tapes of incriminating conversations with
aides. The matter eventually went before the Supreme
Court, which ruled in 1974 that the president, like every American, was not above the law
and had to comply with the special prosecutors request. The upshot of the Nixon tapes case was
that any president is going to have an extremely hard time resisting a request from a law enforcement
officer, said Neal K. Katyal, an acting solicitor general in the Obama administration
and a partner at the law firm Hogan Lovells.
In general, he added, presidents
do sit for interviews or respond to requests from prosecutors because they take their constitutional
responsibility to faithfully execute the laws seriously, and running away from a prosecutor
isnt consistent with faithfully executing the laws. Mr. Trumps penchant for bravado has been
a factor that his lawyers must contend with. The president has bragged to some aides that
he would be able to clear himself if he talked to Mr.
Muellers team. Im looking forward to it, actually,
Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House last month, though he added, almost as an
afterthought, that an interview would be subject to my lawyers, and all of that. When pressed, he also said he would be willing
to be questioned under oath.
Questioning by Mr. Mueller would not be under
oath, though lying to federal investigators is a crime. Despite his penchant for exaggerations and
falsehoods in public remarks, Mr. Trump has appeared far more aware of the legal risk
of making false statements when he has been deposed in civil cases related to his businesses.
In one deposition related to a libel case
that Mr. Trump brought against the journalist Tim OBrien, Mr. Trump admitted more than
two dozen times under oath that he had lied in the past about a range of subjects. Mr.
Trump ultimately lost the case. Since last summer, the White House has been
in what Mr. Cobb has called total cooperation mode. He has issued few, if any, objections
as Mr.
Muellers team interviewed senior White House officials and reviewed reams of
emails and other internal documents. The White House was operating on a strategy
that, since Mr. Trump had nothing to hide, full cooperation was the best chance to bring
the investigation to a quick, decisive end. Mr.
Cobb had told the president and the public
that the Mueller inquiry would be over by the end of 2017, or soon after. But a month into 2018, it remains unclear
when Mr. Mueller will wrap up the bulk of his work. Privately, people close to the president have
conceded that assuring Mr.
Trump that the investigation would end by a certain date
was primarily aimed at keeping him from antagonizing Mr. Mueller on his Twitter feed or in interviews..

Trumps Latest Coffee Boy Steve Bannon - Between the Scenes The Daily Show
- Steven Bannon. So I don't know if you've
seen this book has come out, or they've released
excerpts from a book that is going to come out where basically the
Trump campaign allowed a journalist to hang out
with them for months, right? The Trump presidency they
allowed him in the White House and this guy just hung out
and he was just in the room apparently and no
one thought about it and they just carried
on with their lives. (Audience laughing) And then now he's like, all right so I wrote a book. (Audience laughing) And the people are
like wait, what? He's like yeah, I wrote a book.
And they're like where did
you write the book from? He's like oh I was in the room. And they're like wait. Wait is that why you
were in the room? He's like yeah, why did you
think I was in the room? (Audience laughing) I mean we don't know. We just have people in the room.
We don't know. And now there's a
book that's coming out and I mean some of
it seems salacious, don't get me wrong but
there are some parts of it where you go like oh I
can see this happening and now Steve Bannon
came out like in the book he's made these statements and Trump has come
out and slammed him. What I find interesting
about Donald Trump is his go-to attack for any
person that goes against him and his campaign is
basically straight up, I don't know who this is. (Audience laughing) That's what he did
with Steve Bannon.
He's like, "Steven
Bannon didn't help me. I don't know him. He had a tiny role." He was your chief strategist
in the White House. And you're like, "He was like tiny, like didn't
even do anything major." (Audience laughing) I can tell you now if one
of Trump's son turns on him, he will disavow him so.
He'll be like, "Wasn't
even my sperm." (Audience laughing) "Didn't come from me.".

Whoa! Good evening and welcome
to 'The Kapil Sharma Show.' The day isn't a lucky one today. Jacqueline was here,
Jacqueline Fernandez. She needed some money. I only had Rs.
10, 000
And she asked for Rs. 8000. Actually,
my mood is a little off today. Because Mr.
Sidhu
is unwell today. Get well soon, Mr. Sidhu,
we miss you. But to cheer up my mood we have invited an old
friend of ours here.
You all know her very well. In the world of laughter, she
is known as The Laughter Queen. A man can go crazy after
listening to her laugh! With a resounding
round of applause please welcome
Archana Puran Singh. Whoa! - A huge round of applause for Archana Puran Singh.
"You called me" "and I came over running." So sweet! We have been
friends for so long. We have done a lot of
shows on this very channel. And today, you are here. Looking at you,
I feel my uncle is here! No matter if what we said
was good or not..
- Yes. ... We used to shoot
all night long. And I am delighted to see you
here again.
- Thank you. Please welcome. The throne is yours today.
- Thank you. Okay, let me tell you all Ms.
Archana and Sony TV have
an old bond. - Yes. The telecast of movie
'Sooryavansham' on Setmax and Archana's presence of SonyTV. Cannot be stopped by anyone.
She can appear on
any SonyTV show. Wherever SonyTv shows are shot she goes to check if
there's an empty spot. The other day, she entered
the sets of 'Indian Idol.' They said, "Ma'am, you can't
sit here. Do you how to sing?" She replied, "Does
Anu Malik know?" They said, "But he knows
how to play an instrument." She said, "Ask my husband
Parmeet how well I play!" You have started again, I see! By the way, do you remember
all we used to say on the show? Ms.
Archana stays
in Madh Island. You have to catch a ferry
to come across. - Yes. Sometimes,
the shooting is too early.
But she reaches early
even if there is traffic as she takes the ferry. So, once she was on the ferry
and the ferry ticket was Rs. 20. She replied that she
forgot her purse at home.
But she was told she has
to purchase the ticket. So, she just jumped into
the water and got two fish out. And said, "Here are two fish
for Rs. 150, Return my change." Your stories from Madh Island
are unforgettable.
- Yes. Do you remember? Once,
this man was on a motor boat. And she was in a row boat with
wooden paddles. - Really? She was rowing the boat with
one paddle by herself.
- Okay. The guy on the motor boat said, "Such a popular actress
and is traveling by this boat?" He said that and left
but she got enraged. She dropped the paddle,
inserted her hands in the water and captured two alligators,
used them as propellers and overtook the motor boat. I have learnt a valuable
lesson from you, ma'am, No matter how dire the condition laugh whole-heartedly
and always stay happy.
You-You might know
this or might not she is so jovial that when
she was born, with due respect she was laughing
to such an extent.. The people who came to bless her
by singing and dancing said they will
charge Rs. 11, 000. Her parents said, "You charge
Rs.
1 Lakh, just take her away! I'am so happy to see you, ma'am.
- Thank you. I love you so much.
- I love you too. Ms. Archana,
since you are here today we have invited a handsome
guest for you.
Today's guest on the show is a gentleman, who is
good-looking, amiable and risky. Please welcome the very handsome
Sidharth Malhotra and the very beautiful
and the very talented and my second true love
and almost my wife Jacqueline Fernandez. Okay! Thank you so much,
thanks a lot! Thank you so much for so much
love. - You were amazing.
You were amazing, Kapil!
- Hey! - Yes! You danced wonderfully,
my goodness! - Yes. - You did? I made the dance look lively! Let's have a huge round
of applause for Jacqueline and Sidharth Malhotra. What's up? Welcome to both of you,
Sidharth and Jacqueline. Thank you.
- Hug me, both of you.
You go first, Jacqueline. Welcome..
- Yes! Thank you. So, this beautiful
couple's movie is releasing it's called 'A Gentleman.'
- Yes. Good-looking, amiable and risky.
- Absolutely.
And this man has hit the jackpot
by the grace of God. He is romancing
Jacqueline in the movie and that too, in a double role. And I get to meet
her every 3-4 months only for a few seconds when
her movie up for release and we have to suffice with
this for the entire year. So, actually,
I am the gentleman.
But she also makes the lead
actor work too hard at the action sequences
and dance numbers. Being good-looking and amiable
isn't enough for her. - Okay. She wants a little extra.
- Extra! Actually, Sidharth, I wanted
to know.
- Yes. How can a good-looking
and amiable guy.. - Yes. ...
Be risky? - Why not?
After a few shots of whisky! So, when we watch the preview
of 'A Gentleman' - Right. What does it disclose?
I will tell you. This beautiful girl here doesn't want a good-looking, amiable man Correct.
- Who works in a 9-5 job. Do you know?
I also don't work a 9-5 job.
I work from 9-10,
that too, I missed some. Why did you have it confess
your love to me in riddles? Actually, Kapil, we are
a married couple. - Hey! When did this happen?
- We got married. When? - Next year.
I mean, last year! If you would have
gotten married last year something would have
happened by next year! All that is forgotten! You have forgotten me after
marriage.
- I forgot it all. Okay, Jacqueline's birthday
is on the 11th of August. Happy birthday.
- Thank you. Belated happy birthday.
- Thank you.
Okay, that's enough!
It's done. - No, actually.. It's belated, so the embrace has
to be longer. - Right! So, 11th of August in numerology
is the number 2.
And my birthday is
on the 2nd of April. That's also 2. "Two and Two is Four.." Do you know what that means?
- No. Do you know the multiplication
tables? Two..
- Four.
- Two times, yes, four. - Six. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
- Yes. How you sing?
Because our math is too weak so, we memorise the tune.
- Oh! "Two times two is four.."
- Oh! "Two times four is eight."
Like that.
Is this not how
you memorise them? No.
- You belong to educated homes. You have breakfast with
butter to sharpen your brain. Our brain doesn't work as
we have leafy vegetables. Sidharth, that's how it's done
in North India.
- Indeed. How did you memorise
math tables in Delhi? In the same way. B-But we
used to say in English too. Show me how,
I am very curious to know.
"Two times two.."
- You go, why should I? "Two times two is four."
- Yes. Four times four is?
- "Four times two is four!" Four?
- What four! I mean.. If kids hear me
recite the table my dignity will be ruined.
- Yes. I have an itchy hand.
But last year,
I went to my school and my math teacher was there,
waiting for me. I felt very happy. Come.
- Come. Okay, Sidharth here considers Karan Johar as his mentor.
Karan is the one
who launched him. So, before signing a movie,
he takes Karan's advice. But when Karan did
'Bombay Velvet' did he discuss it with you? I think he didn't
consult anyone! Even after doing the movie,
he isn't discussing it. I asked him about it.
He said he started
detesting it so much that he removed the velvet
from his couch as well. - Off! I was like really? I don't know if this is a rumour
or the truth, Jacqueline. Yes?
- Are you married? I received this email.. 'Dear Jacqueline Sharma.' Jacqueline Sharma!
- Jacqueline Sharma? 'I wanted to address
you as Fernandez' 'but I don't know the spelling.' 'Dear, since you
have married my son' 'all the people are wondering
when you will arrive here.' 'Dear, you sometimes
go to Sri Lanka' 'sometimes to America,
sometimes for your shooting.' 'When will you
come to Amritsar?' 'In case you have forgotten' 'I am sending a photograph
as proof.' Where is the photograph
she sent? Please, show it.
Hey.. That's you!
- Married and all! Oh, that's my mother! "Mother.. Dear mother." People keep harassing mom
about her daughter-in-law. She is unable to bear
this torture.
She is in hiding. She is unable to go to Amritsar or come to Mumbai.
- I'm extremely busy, sorry. She found some relatives
in Panipat and is hiding there. But mom..
Jacqueline remembers that we are married.
- Yes, a married couple. It might be fake but it's
fun to think about it. Okay, this is all fun and games. But in real life, if Jacqueline
happens to marry me..
- Yes. We won't get our marriage
certificate done in my city. But why?
- Because they can't spell her name.. Fernandez? That's your surname.
They won't be able to write
'Jacqueline'! Jacqueline, has
anybody given you a nickname apart from 'Jacky'? She had a nickname when
she was a kid. She used to feel happy
to hear that. And, what is that? Hyena. Hyena? They used to tease her
with this name because she used
to laugh like one.
She would laugh even more
after hearing her nickname. Let's try that now.
Hyena.. - Hyena. Like this..
- That's cute!
- It's one of its kind. This can
get a lot more loud! If I don't think of
good jokes.. I will just.. Hyena.
Sidharth, you have done the
entire movie with her. - Yes.. Being an Indian, did you ask her
which part of Sri Lanka produces such beautiful women? What special
coconut does she eat? And does she face
problems like we do? Have you ever heard
of furuncles? Oh, God! Kapil!
- Really.. I'm just..
What is that? Furuncle.. I mean.. You get infection..
- Okay. And it leaves a painful
swelling there..
Haven't you really
heard of it? Never. You get infection...
And what happens then? He's talking about boils..
- It's a kind of infection. Are you sure you have
never heard of it? No? That's so beautiful! Have you heard
of unhealthy belches? But how are
they connected to Sri Lanka? No, I know that there is
no connection between them. Listen..
Just because
you are a beautiful superstar.. Have you faced these
kind of problems? Oh! I got you. Belches.. - I don't know
about the other one you said..
No, this is something
very intense.. I mean.. Sour.. How do I tell her
what belch is..
Burp..
- Burp? I can burp.
- Show him. So beautiful! It is something
like picturising romance.. Can you do that? What? Do you think that's
how Indians burp? Right.. - We have many
kinds of people here.
Every state has its unique
style of burping. The style of South Indians
is different from the style of those in Punjab.. And again, Rajasthan
has its own style.. When they burp,
they spit out sand..
Trust me.. But she is sensitive. Even if she feels
like sneezing.. She won't let anyone know
it even in a conference.
Have you ever seen
Ms. Archana sneezing? She can't just sneeze like
any normal person. Let me show you.
- Oh! Ms. Archana I want to tell you something
about Sidharth.
- Go ahead. He is a very clever guy. The songs of his last
two movies were super hit. "That beautiful girl
took away my heart.." Okay? And what was
the other one? It's 'Kaala Chashma..'
- 'Kaala Chashma..' So, Badshah's rap in both
of those songs was very good.
They danced on it very well. He learned all of those
now. He's now doing everything
on his own. Yes! Wow!
- 'Bandook Meri Laila'.
He is playing a double role
and doing rap too. I fear that in his next film he will even play the role
of Jacqueline. Actually, we didn't get
any rapper.. So..
Ms. Archana,
Jacky's English is very fluent. And she is working in India
for so many years now. The chemistry between
you two is very good, isn't it? Yes, it is.
Then you have to ask these
questions to her. - Okay. You shouldn't show this
to her. These words are in English.
She has to translate
them in Hindi. Now that you are
an Indian girl.. You are married
to a Punjabi boy. Jacqueline Sharma.
It's very easy.
Here's goes the first one.. Red chilli. That's called 'Laal Mirchi'. Wow! It sounds like my
Hindi test.
I feel like I'm
in my tuition classes. Turmeric. Haldi. That's nice! Very nice! Cinnamon.
Hold on.. Is it 'Cheeni'? You are close.. 'Dal cheeni'? - Yes!
- Very nice! - Yes. Go, girl! I've tasted 'Kaju Curry'
prepared by Jacky.
It was really tasty.
- But when? Do you remember
that Farah's show? Yes. 'Kaju Curry'..
- Yes, it was so tasty.. It's a Sri Lankan dish.
- These rich people make these. We make ordinary Pakora curry.
- I made it myself.
We make onion Pakoras. You know Pakora curry?
- She's ready. Which one?
- Pakora curry. Pakora, No.
- No.. Curry..
- You know Pakora? Bread with Pakoras in it.
- Yes. Pakora Onion..
- Frying. Yes.
Take a big knife.
Cut it very fast.. - Okay. And then, slice it
again from the other side. Take some gram flour..
- Yes.
- Chilli powder.. - Yes. Salt.. - Yes.
- Take a frying pan.
Take lots of oil.
- Lots of oil.. Put them..
They'll start splattering.. And.. They will start splattering.
- Splattering..
Okay. Then..
Then.. He's boiling. - Okay.
- He's boiling? - Boiling..
He's cursing. He's abusing.
- Angry. - Why? And finally, he's dead! Because he became red. Then, take out one first.
Then, all of them, one by one.
And then, take some gram
flour again. Mix it with water. You'll have to mix it
with your hand. And then, wipe your hand.
The Pakoras in them..
As if you make them every day!
- Put them in the frying pan again.
- Okay. Again, it's boiling. Then, serve them. Five siblings
fight to get two Pakoras each.
This is our story.
- That was some story! That's the only curry we know.
- Oh! And look at these rich people.
Cashew curry. - Yes. I got to know what
cashew are quite late. The cashew nuts.
- Introduce..
- Yes. Hello, this is Kapil.
This is a cashew nut. So, what did
you use to have earlier? Peanuts.
- Rotis with Dal. Rotis with Dal?
- Yes.
I took my mom to KBC once. So, I was playing
KBC with Mr. Bachchan. We were chit-chatting.
Mr. Bachchan saw my mom.
And he asked mom about what all she'd
eaten that I became like this. And mom said,
she had just Dal and 'Phulkas'. So sweet..
- 'Dal-Phulka'
is actually, Rotis with Dal. Rotis with Dal..
- You're going to kill me today by talking only about the food.
I'm so hungry. I think you may have
kept a bowl under your table.. I wish.
It's not there.
Why do you think her
table is covered like that? Do we have that?
We do have a table here but it is not covered..
- Yes.. She keeps a bowl
and a stove under the table. There's a small cylinder too.
Like, when she laughs out loud I just told you
about our rice and curry, right? So, she will laugh out loudly and take out the rice
from the vessel.. Oh..
She will have half
the amount in one go! But she's so sweet.
I love you, Ms. Archana. Grandpa!
Grandpa.. Oh!
- Welcome..
Grandpa! Hi Sidharth, Jacqueline!
- Hi. - How are you? Good! - Hi.. Good.. I've never seen a person
greet anyone like this.
Like this! Greet people normally,
like this.. Who greets people
with that expression? Can't you say
anything on the face? Do you want me to?
- Yes. Get lost from here! I won't leave like that! I'll leave with a procession. Say it directly that you
want to marry an orchestra guy.
That tabla artist
has a huge crush on you. Kapil.. He gives his tabla a hard hit
whenever you arrive. Look at that.
Do it again! That's like it!
- I see.
Kapil!
- Yes? I've been unable to find
grandpa since morning. Do it!
- And on top of that.. Hey, stop it now.. Grandpa is nowhere
to be seen since morning.
Have you seen my grandpa,
Jacqueline? No, I haven't. Sorry. Even her
grandma never saw him. She has run away
on the very first day! No..
- Why do you expect her
to see him? He had been out for a
walk and he hasn't returned yet! Go to the kitchen. If you
don't find a big bowl there assume that he's
gone out to have lunch. Look, don't talk nonsense
about my grandpa. He's a thorough gentleman.
He's not a thorough gentleman,
but a dental man. His teeth are
in such a sorry state. The doctor opined that he had
to uproot the decaying teeth. And he told the doctor
that he had nurtured them well and he cannot let
go of them so easily.
She is just pretending here. There is one Pani Puri
vendor there.. - Yes.. She urges him to
serve him the Pani Puris without wearing gloves
as they taste better like that.
You just want to
insult me here, right? I was chit-chatting with them.
You disturbed us. I am quite an impressive girl.
What's your problem? No, you have caught a cold.
You were coughing so loudly last night
that I couldn't sleep. All right then, you
give me the medicine. Wow! It's available only in Agra.
Please get some
for me when you go there. She is closely related to Agra.
- I see.. - That's what.. Sarla, I love you.
For how long.. For how long
will I have to tolerate him? I just want
a gentleman now.. Oh! - What are your intentions,
Sarla Gulati? - Sarla? I intend to become
Sarla Malhotra from Sarla Gulati. I see..
How do you intend
to do that? Is your mother
getting married again? Excuse me! My mom is happy as she is. But I am destined
to be a Malhotra. I see! - No, it
must be your ailment.. You..
Archana ma'am, now that you
are here let me tell you.. - No.. - Let's
see here.. - There he goes..
She wears
nice dresses here and yet, she keeps taunting me
and keeps fighting with me. She was fine over there, right? In Comedy Circus? She used to wear a crown
and don a moustache and used to appear
like 'Ravan'. Here, we provide heels
and beautiful dresses. Did you feel good by donning
a moustache, back there? What? What is wrong with you,
today? I will speak the truth, today.
I have to search for
grandpa. Or else, I would give you
a befitting reply. Sidharth and Jacqueline,
I'll go and fine grandpa. I don't know
his whereabouts.
I'll see you later. Look at her gesture.. Normally it is like,
I'll meet you later. She cannot stop herself
from doing it.
I'll take your leave. In this manner.. First, I'll go and search
for grandpa. Mr.
Kapil Sharma, I'll
see the end of you. This would continue.. Sidharth, I have heard that
you have struggled a lot after coming to Mumbai.
- Yes. Three of you used to stay
at one room.
Yes, when I had come to
Mumbai I used to share my apartment with people. So there was
a one bedroom apartment. Okay. And three of us used to stay
in it.
Okay. So we had divided the bedroom
into three parts. I used to stay in one section
and the other two sections were occupied by two other
boys. For several months,
there were no curtains inside that room.
My friends had a huge painting
in their room I used to keep
it there. - Okay. And when there used to be
a special female friend.. Yes..
They used to hide the painting
as soon as possible. All right. I did not have a curtain
or anything for cover so.. So was this a struggle or
was it fun? He also plays a lot of games.
Sidharth plays basketball,
tennis and rugby. Jacqueline has a penchant
for horse riding. She has joined a club. Yes.
Horse riding.
- She is into horse riding. All these games require
prior investment. Have you ever tried,
bird-fly away? Crow-fly away?
- Yes. Because there is no investment.
And neither there is a bird
or a crow. Just like, cockroach-fly away. Yes. Yes.
Yes.
Do you wish to play? Yes.
- Okay. The one who loses,
will have to dance. Okay. All right.
- Yes! Ready?
Keep it here.
- Accepted. Bird, fly away.
Crow, fly away. Donkey, fly away. What is that? Can one see donkeys flying
in Sri lanka? Donkey! She got confused.
Say it in English.
- Okay. Okay. Sparrow, fly away. Crow, fly away.
Donkey, fly away. Donkey? Donkeys don't fly. Well, he lifted his leg. There is some problem.
- Yes? I don't know the names
of too many animals in English.
Does anybody in the audience
know to play this game? Say it, fast!
Who is it? Stand up.
Are you not ashamed of yourself? Even after growing up,
you play such games. Do you know the names
of animals and birds? Yes, ma'am. I know.
- What is your name? Kuldeep.
- There is no bird by that name. Come here.
Sit with us.
- Come.. - Yes. Crow, fly away. Cock, fly away.
Mosquito, fly away. Kite, fly away. Goat, fly away. No! No! I was saying..
I was saying.. Did you made the cock, fly? Yes, we did.
- When did you do that? I have done that a lot. I was about to say that
if you get it wrong.. And within that time,
he said that.
Kapil!
Kapil, the goat.. Did the goat fly? Okay.
What do you want me to do? Pole dancing. Jacqueline has done pole
dancing to this song called 'Chandralekha'
in the picture. Jacqueline has done it
really well.
- Yes. Someone get a pole. Yay! You made the goat fly, right? Come here. Come here.
Come here and dance. Wow!
He is very good. I was bad.
But you were worse. What kind of dance
is this? You were looking
like a guard.
Someone has come
in the society. Very good.
- Pal, you trapped me. Very good. Make sure you don't fly
goats, from next time.
Thank you, Kuldeep.
- Thank you.. Thank you. Yo, Bro! Wow!
- Come on! Wow!
What's up? How are you? Hey! What?
What do you want? Sit down! Sit down! Baccha, why are you wearing
this suit? I will wear it.
Why will I not wear it? I have got all decked up. From where did you get this tie? My uncle has come
from the village.
The tie has also come along
with him. Oh, my!
- She wished to see Bombay and hence, I have brought her
for sight-seeing in Bombay. Tie, roam around!
Roam around, Tie. That was just a joke.
The thing is I keep cracking
jokes. In reality, there was a match
between India and Australia a few days back. It was a tie. So I brought a tie
from there.
Ms. Jacqueline, I feel like
shaking hands with you. Don't do it at any cost.
Don't do it. He is touching you
using the hands with which he cleans
the poop of his buffalo.
Show me a buffalo
who produces 'Palak Paneer'. You are correct. - What
are you going to do here, today? I have got ready. Because I have to go
give an interview.
Oh..
- Wow! Go. Why have you
come here? I don't have
an interview. What should I give..
- What to give.. I came to know that
you take interviews while you all
give interviews.
If you have an extra
interview then give it to me. Is this an interview
or a sweet, to give and take? Interview is nothing
these days. Nowadays people
gives and takes kisses. What are you saying?
Who takes and gives kiss? Mr.
Sid is here. He stole a kiss
from Aliya in the last movie and gave it back
to Jacqueline in this one. However,
I lack experience, sir. Doesn't people go
for interviews? Yes.
What is needed
to be said? I have no idea.
Will you teach me how to appear
for an interview? Have your brought
your bio-data? I keep my bio-data
in my pocket, sir. Is it?
- Yes. Yes.
Ask me. What is your name? Archana Puran Singh.
It's written
Baccha, in here. When you know to read
why do you ask such nonsense? Oh! It's an interview. What a man? What is your weakness? No, I don't have
any weakness. However, my uncle
has some weakness.
He has trouble
in kneeling down. He has got weak
knee bones. His knees are weak
that's why he has trouble in kneeling down. Well said.
Sir, you are wastage. Baccha, your dairy
business is flourishing. Why do you want
to stop it? The thing is, sir.
I have a farm. However, the job
is very monotonous.
All my buffaloes
are bored of seeing my face
everyday. Yes. Everytime I go in there,
they turn their faces away and says, No.. So, I want to try
something new in life.
I am thinking
of reshaping this nation. How would you change it? Listen, firstly,
I am thinking of bringing change
to the manufacturing industry. Sir, you must have seen
that when you manufacture Jalebi Yes..
- Jalebi.. You keep coiling it up
like round..
It is very monotonous. Everyone makes
the same thing. No one uses
their creativity. I will change the shape.
I will make the Jalebis
straight. Wow! Then people will say,
'Look, what a simple Jalebi.' 'Wed it to Laddoo.' Something of this sort
would happen. I will connect an egg
to a 4G network in order to increase it's speed
in making an omelette. I will tell you why
is it so.
A hen lays egg on time
but then why is an 'om-late'? 'Om-late!'
- 'Om-late.' It has to go faster. I have got another plan.
- Okay. Well! Our cars run
on petrol. - Yes.
I am already half way
through a plan in order to run cars
without petrol. What is it?
- What's the plan? I will construct bridges
in the city. All the bridges will be
designed like this.. The cars will
go like this..
There won't be
a need of petrol. If the cars goes this way
and how will they go up? You do know that
my plan is still half? Half plan! Why should I take up
all the responsibilities? Construct the rest
of the plan yourself. Think higher. If that's not possible,
then nothing is possible.
Things such as these
will continue. I am thinking
of climbing the Mount Everest. What will you do
climbing it? I will climb down
from the other side. I don't have to
fry 'Papads' over there.
What to do?
Time pass. However, there was
an instance in your film which I watched. You said that
you like boys who take risks. There is no such man
in this world other than me who take take risks.
- Why? Yesterday, I ate
a banana.
What's the risk in that? Try snatching a banana
from the hands of a monkey. It will jump
and slap you so hard that it's future
will be stamped on your cheeks. Then you will know. However, Ms.
Jacqueline,
if you agree, I should say both of us should
circumambulate the fire for seven times. Baccha, that's too much. Well! Let's lessen it.
Circumambulate for four time. Siddharth, the actions
which you've done in the film..
Yes.. You can do it here too. What's the need
for some action? Instead some
dance steps.. Yes..
Would you like
to teach me some? Do you want to learn
'Chandralekha', the new song? Okay..
- Oh.. Oh..
Like this.. Oh, I enjoyed it.
Thank you. Yes, Bro..
Cheers..
- Thank you very much. You danced
really well.. - Baccha.. Baccha, how can you leave
like this? You have to crack a joke.
Jokes.. I roam around
with a jar full of jokes. I always keep it ready. So, my joke is ready.
Why does a dog wriggle
it's tail? It is because.. Wouldn't it be weird
if a tail wriggle it's dog? I didn't understand. Crack it
to her in English. - Yes.
A dog.
- Yes. - Wags tail. - Yes. Why does a dog wriggle
it's tail? Why does it wriggle? Wouldn't it be weird
if a tail wriggle it's dog? It will be weird.
Yes, it will be funny. I got you.
- It will be funny. Well! Applause.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
- It was a pleasure meeting you all.
Thank you. It was nice to meet you.
We will meet again. Cheers. Cheers..
- Yes..
Yes..
- See you later.. She is hot. Thank you. Grandpa.
- Yes.
You have started this
as well? Yes, you can come
and watch me sometime. He hurls questions
even before a man enters. He doesn't let me talk. Oh, Lord!
Stop me for sometime.
How are you?
- Sir, I am good.. Hi..
- How are you? - Mr. Kapil. Come, sit here..
- No, it's okay..
How are you? Are you feeling cold?
You've wrapped a muffler? No, I'm fine..
Hello, Jackie! - Hello! Hello,
Fernandes! - Hello! How are you? I heard that
song of yours - Which one? 'Get me a pair
of golden earrings'. I got it for you. Oh.. Thank you..
- Sit properly.
You can dance..
- Sit here. Okay, sit.. Whenever you need any help..
Regarding your songs.. Whenever you need help don't
hesitate to call me.
I can get anything for you. Grandpa, Ms. Sarla
is searching for you. Where are you coming from? Are you not feeling cold? I will tie it tightly,
you might be feeling cold.
Where are you coming from? Remove it. Or else..
- Is it? I will..
Actually.. I hope your neck doesn't
fall down. You stay here.
I am fine.
I am fine. Jacqueline, this is.. I told you about this grandpa. He will disturb you for not more
than two to three minutes.
He will exit after this. Is it?
What do you mean? Who are you to tell
Jacqueline about me? It sounds like someone else
is telling Archana which razor is good. Grandpa, you know about
Ms. Archana right? I know she is always moody
and when she comes in a car she throws attitude at us.
But..
But.. W-We're college friends. Hi, Archana!
- Hello! We both are friends anyway. I recollected looking
at the photo.
- You don't seem.. Jacqueline, I am meeting you
after a very long time. The first time I saw you,
Sri Lanka was this small. It's not Sri Lanka which
would be small.
But it is Jacqueline who
would be small. She was this small. You just shut up. I have seen in a map.
It is this small.
It is this small. It is small.
- Small? It is very tiny. Grandpa, talk to her
with some respect. Jacqueline knows Judo.
I know Ludo. What is the big deal in it? There is a difference between
Judo and Ludo. Do you know that? What difference does it make? Though you are a professional
at playing Ludo. You have to come back when snake
bites you at 99th position.
Did you get it? Nonsense! I am sorry. I'm sorry, if you don't mind
I'm feeling pressurised. Oh, God! I will make a move.
- Yes, mister. Good luck for your movie.
- Yes..
I will be right back.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Okay, bye. Bye.
- Bye! Bye.
- Bye! There are so many
of our friends here. They have few questions
to ask you.
Who is going to ask
the first question? Hi, Kapil sir.
- Hello! Hi, Jacqueline ma'am.
- Hello! Hi, Siddharth sir.
- Hello! I have a question
for Jacqueline ma'am. You ask first, then we shall
talk about it. I will call the police
if you say anything to her. I have seen your promos
on TV recently.
I've noticed that you have
and eye for risky boys. I wanted to say that
I am risky too. Wow!
Okay! What do you want to say? You might not know, I travel
in trains without a ticket. Oh!
That's very risky.
What an achievement! Leave that aside. I ride bikes,
with my both hands in the air. That makes you a crazy man. How is it risky? If you say,
I can climb mountains too.
Mountains! Why does she want
you to climb? Because she like risky boys. Yes, so what do you want? Don't answer. Oh! What can you do for Jacqueline
standing there in this moment? I don't know about
the later part.. I can dance with her.
I can do that too. This is not something to enjoy. Can you jump from there?
- From where? I can do it.
I can do it. You can do it?
- Hey, no..
Are you sure? It is not called jumping,
it's called falling down. It's not even considered
as falling down. It is considered
as killing yourself. Please come.
What is your name?
- Sujith! Sujith! Sujith, the winning moment
is when you fall down. Sujith! Sujith! Sujith, seriously?
- Don't do it. Forget about falling down,
ma'am is right here. Do something else
to impress her.
Frog jumping!
- Frog jumping! Frog jumping with Kapil. You have to sit like this
and imagine that you are sitting on a chair. Fine? Not like that.. Don't bend too much.
You have to sit like this. Like a squat. Yes! Stay there. Sit down.
Sit down.
There is no need of music. You keep sitting. Is there anyone else here? No, why did you stand? You keep sitting there. Go a bit more low.
Oh, God!
- This is fine. You sit here while
I talk to audience. First..
Do it.. From there..
Do this..
You have to sit and do it.
- He did it.. - Bend lower. Impressed!
Impressed! I am impressed.
I am impressed a lot. Fine, do this.
This is very easy.
Even kids can do it. Do this and show it. I'm asking you to do
simpler things than jumping. You have to do it quickly.
Like this.
Fine? You are so sweet.
Thank you, Srijith. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You are very risky.
Thank you, Srijith. Is there anyone else? Yes, please. Siddharth sir, I'm a very huge
fan of yours. Sir, black spectacles
suit you more.
But my friends say that
it suits me as well. So, can I dance with you sir?
Please. Even my friends say that
black suits me. You do it too.
Did you bring the black shades?
- Yes. Oh!
- You have brought two. Oh! The black shades
suits you a lot. This mic suits me a lot.
Give it to me.
Thank you. 'Black glasses looks
nice on you.' 'Looks nice on your white face.' 'Black glasses looks
nice on you.' 'Looks nice on your white face.' 'When you walk on roads.' 'Baby you put boys
hearts on fire.' 'And when you see us.' 'You show fake tantrums,
you liar.' - Liar! 'Black glasses looks nice
on your white face.' 'As the black moles look
nice on your chin.' 'With your style you must kill.' 'At least ten to twelve boys
in a day.' 'There are many like you.' 'There can't be anyone like me.' 'There are many like you.' 'You are rural.' 'I am beautiful than Katrina.' 'I'm fed up of listening
to your whines.' 'I'm fed up of listening
to your whines.' 'Black glasses suit me.' Oh, my!
- Black glasses.. Thank you, Meenal.
Please come. Thank you, Meenal.
See you.
Thank you.
Bye! Superb!
You've danced very well. Is there anyone else? Yes! Yes, Mounika. Why are you laughing? Is Mounika not your name?
- No, Sir. I am Jayshree.
- Hail Lord.
Hi, Siddharth sir.
- Hello! Hi, Jacqueline ma'am.
- Hello! I am a big fan of yours. And I am coming from Gujarat. I was just listening to the most
popular song of yours. 'Chitiyan Kaliyan' I have written a smaller version
of the song in Gujarati.
Just for you.
- Wow! How?
How? Please sing it.
- Love you, Jayshree. Most welcome, ma'am. This is for you. Thank you, Jayshree.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much. Beautiful voice!
And you are so cute. The rhyming was messed up
in the end, right. Your white wrists..
It belongs to you..
Let's go for a movie.
It's a request. I will request. Thank you, Mounika. Thank you, Jayshree.
Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much for coming.
- Thank you. God bless! He has used a gun lot of times
in his movies. To check his target test,
we have called a volunteer.
You have to throw the rings. The rings are actually
quite bigger. Jacqueline, you both
have to try. One by one.
This area is yours.
This area belongs to Siddharth. What will I get if I throw
it here? He is your man. Okay!
- Keep some distance. Distance! From here, Jacqueline.
Come, Jacqueline. This..
This is your mark. Okay, ready?
Ready? Let's go..
Whoever gets.. Green is yours
and red is his.
Ready! Oh, no! Hold it tight.
Hold it tight. Wow! Yes!
Wow! Both of their scores
are balanced. One more.
One more. Take your time.
I couldn't figure out
who threw the most rings. Is it a tie?
- It's a tie. I won.
- It's a tie. Now you can go to washroom.
So, the match is tied
between these both. The gentleman movie will be
shown on this screen. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Siddharth and Jacqueline,
the audience who came here we shall gift everyone
a beautiful mobile phone. Wow! You have to decide
who entertained you the most or whom you thought is fun. Our audience can also decide. Who is it? The whole dance.
- Whole dance.
Whole dance. The first one who came.. That means I will keep the gift. Are you sure?
- Yes.
They should show us
one more dance. Sujith was also good. Sujith! Which song? Which song will you dance on? Nobody is there.. You have three options.
Jacqueline. - Yes.
- This is for your fan. He has danced a lot.
His shirt came off. His pant went below the waist.
- That's when you express yourself while
dancing.
He.. Congratulations. A big hand for Sidharth
and Jacqueline. Thank you.
Thank you so much.. Best wishes to both of you. All the very best for all your future projects. Thank you..
Can we just say bye..
- Keep smiling.. Keep watching
The Kapil Sharma Show. Thank you so much
to all of you. Thank you so much for coming.
Thank you...
to 'The Kapil Sharma Show.' The day isn't a lucky one today. Jacqueline was here,
Jacqueline Fernandez. She needed some money. I only had Rs.
10, 000
And she asked for Rs. 8000. Actually,
my mood is a little off today. Because Mr.
Sidhu
is unwell today. Get well soon, Mr. Sidhu,
we miss you. But to cheer up my mood we have invited an old
friend of ours here.
You all know her very well. In the world of laughter, she
is known as The Laughter Queen. A man can go crazy after
listening to her laugh! With a resounding
round of applause please welcome
Archana Puran Singh. Whoa! - A huge round of applause for Archana Puran Singh.
"You called me" "and I came over running." So sweet! We have been
friends for so long. We have done a lot of
shows on this very channel. And today, you are here. Looking at you,
I feel my uncle is here! No matter if what we said
was good or not..
- Yes. ... We used to shoot
all night long. And I am delighted to see you
here again.
- Thank you. Please welcome. The throne is yours today.
- Thank you. Okay, let me tell you all Ms.
Archana and Sony TV have
an old bond. - Yes. The telecast of movie
'Sooryavansham' on Setmax and Archana's presence of SonyTV. Cannot be stopped by anyone.
She can appear on
any SonyTV show. Wherever SonyTv shows are shot she goes to check if
there's an empty spot. The other day, she entered
the sets of 'Indian Idol.' They said, "Ma'am, you can't
sit here. Do you how to sing?" She replied, "Does
Anu Malik know?" They said, "But he knows
how to play an instrument." She said, "Ask my husband
Parmeet how well I play!" You have started again, I see! By the way, do you remember
all we used to say on the show? Ms.
Archana stays
in Madh Island. You have to catch a ferry
to come across. - Yes. Sometimes,
the shooting is too early.
But she reaches early
even if there is traffic as she takes the ferry. So, once she was on the ferry
and the ferry ticket was Rs. 20. She replied that she
forgot her purse at home.
But she was told she has
to purchase the ticket. So, she just jumped into
the water and got two fish out. And said, "Here are two fish
for Rs. 150, Return my change." Your stories from Madh Island
are unforgettable.
- Yes. Do you remember? Once,
this man was on a motor boat. And she was in a row boat with
wooden paddles. - Really? She was rowing the boat with
one paddle by herself.
- Okay. The guy on the motor boat said, "Such a popular actress
and is traveling by this boat?" He said that and left
but she got enraged. She dropped the paddle,
inserted her hands in the water and captured two alligators,
used them as propellers and overtook the motor boat. I have learnt a valuable
lesson from you, ma'am, No matter how dire the condition laugh whole-heartedly
and always stay happy.
You-You might know
this or might not she is so jovial that when
she was born, with due respect she was laughing
to such an extent.. The people who came to bless her
by singing and dancing said they will
charge Rs. 11, 000. Her parents said, "You charge
Rs.
1 Lakh, just take her away! I'am so happy to see you, ma'am.
- Thank you. I love you so much.
- I love you too. Ms. Archana,
since you are here today we have invited a handsome
guest for you.
Today's guest on the show is a gentleman, who is
good-looking, amiable and risky. Please welcome the very handsome
Sidharth Malhotra and the very beautiful
and the very talented and my second true love
and almost my wife Jacqueline Fernandez. Okay! Thank you so much,
thanks a lot! Thank you so much for so much
love. - You were amazing.
You were amazing, Kapil!
- Hey! - Yes! You danced wonderfully,
my goodness! - Yes. - You did? I made the dance look lively! Let's have a huge round
of applause for Jacqueline and Sidharth Malhotra. What's up? Welcome to both of you,
Sidharth and Jacqueline. Thank you.
- Hug me, both of you.
You go first, Jacqueline. Welcome..
- Yes! Thank you. So, this beautiful
couple's movie is releasing it's called 'A Gentleman.'
- Yes. Good-looking, amiable and risky.
- Absolutely.
And this man has hit the jackpot
by the grace of God. He is romancing
Jacqueline in the movie and that too, in a double role. And I get to meet
her every 3-4 months only for a few seconds when
her movie up for release and we have to suffice with
this for the entire year. So, actually,
I am the gentleman.
But she also makes the lead
actor work too hard at the action sequences
and dance numbers. Being good-looking and amiable
isn't enough for her. - Okay. She wants a little extra.
- Extra! Actually, Sidharth, I wanted
to know.
- Yes. How can a good-looking
and amiable guy.. - Yes. ...
Be risky? - Why not?
After a few shots of whisky! So, when we watch the preview
of 'A Gentleman' - Right. What does it disclose?
I will tell you. This beautiful girl here doesn't want a good-looking, amiable man Correct.
- Who works in a 9-5 job. Do you know?
I also don't work a 9-5 job.
I work from 9-10,
that too, I missed some. Why did you have it confess
your love to me in riddles? Actually, Kapil, we are
a married couple. - Hey! When did this happen?
- We got married. When? - Next year.
I mean, last year! If you would have
gotten married last year something would have
happened by next year! All that is forgotten! You have forgotten me after
marriage.
- I forgot it all. Okay, Jacqueline's birthday
is on the 11th of August. Happy birthday.
- Thank you. Belated happy birthday.
- Thank you.
Okay, that's enough!
It's done. - No, actually.. It's belated, so the embrace has
to be longer. - Right! So, 11th of August in numerology
is the number 2.
And my birthday is
on the 2nd of April. That's also 2. "Two and Two is Four.." Do you know what that means?
- No. Do you know the multiplication
tables? Two..
- Four.
- Two times, yes, four. - Six. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
- Yes. How you sing?
Because our math is too weak so, we memorise the tune.
- Oh! "Two times two is four.."
- Oh! "Two times four is eight."
Like that.
Is this not how
you memorise them? No.
- You belong to educated homes. You have breakfast with
butter to sharpen your brain. Our brain doesn't work as
we have leafy vegetables. Sidharth, that's how it's done
in North India.
- Indeed. How did you memorise
math tables in Delhi? In the same way. B-But we
used to say in English too. Show me how,
I am very curious to know.
"Two times two.."
- You go, why should I? "Two times two is four."
- Yes. Four times four is?
- "Four times two is four!" Four?
- What four! I mean.. If kids hear me
recite the table my dignity will be ruined.
- Yes. I have an itchy hand.
But last year,
I went to my school and my math teacher was there,
waiting for me. I felt very happy. Come.
- Come. Okay, Sidharth here considers Karan Johar as his mentor.
Karan is the one
who launched him. So, before signing a movie,
he takes Karan's advice. But when Karan did
'Bombay Velvet' did he discuss it with you? I think he didn't
consult anyone! Even after doing the movie,
he isn't discussing it. I asked him about it.
He said he started
detesting it so much that he removed the velvet
from his couch as well. - Off! I was like really? I don't know if this is a rumour
or the truth, Jacqueline. Yes?
- Are you married? I received this email.. 'Dear Jacqueline Sharma.' Jacqueline Sharma!
- Jacqueline Sharma? 'I wanted to address
you as Fernandez' 'but I don't know the spelling.' 'Dear, since you
have married my son' 'all the people are wondering
when you will arrive here.' 'Dear, you sometimes
go to Sri Lanka' 'sometimes to America,
sometimes for your shooting.' 'When will you
come to Amritsar?' 'In case you have forgotten' 'I am sending a photograph
as proof.' Where is the photograph
she sent? Please, show it.
Hey.. That's you!
- Married and all! Oh, that's my mother! "Mother.. Dear mother." People keep harassing mom
about her daughter-in-law. She is unable to bear
this torture.
She is in hiding. She is unable to go to Amritsar or come to Mumbai.
- I'm extremely busy, sorry. She found some relatives
in Panipat and is hiding there. But mom..
Jacqueline remembers that we are married.
- Yes, a married couple. It might be fake but it's
fun to think about it. Okay, this is all fun and games. But in real life, if Jacqueline
happens to marry me..
- Yes. We won't get our marriage
certificate done in my city. But why?
- Because they can't spell her name.. Fernandez? That's your surname.
They won't be able to write
'Jacqueline'! Jacqueline, has
anybody given you a nickname apart from 'Jacky'? She had a nickname when
she was a kid. She used to feel happy
to hear that. And, what is that? Hyena. Hyena? They used to tease her
with this name because she used
to laugh like one.
She would laugh even more
after hearing her nickname. Let's try that now.
Hyena.. - Hyena. Like this..
- That's cute!
- It's one of its kind. This can
get a lot more loud! If I don't think of
good jokes.. I will just.. Hyena.
Sidharth, you have done the
entire movie with her. - Yes.. Being an Indian, did you ask her
which part of Sri Lanka produces such beautiful women? What special
coconut does she eat? And does she face
problems like we do? Have you ever heard
of furuncles? Oh, God! Kapil!
- Really.. I'm just..
What is that? Furuncle.. I mean.. You get infection..
- Okay. And it leaves a painful
swelling there..
Haven't you really
heard of it? Never. You get infection...
And what happens then? He's talking about boils..
- It's a kind of infection. Are you sure you have
never heard of it? No? That's so beautiful! Have you heard
of unhealthy belches? But how are
they connected to Sri Lanka? No, I know that there is
no connection between them. Listen..
Just because
you are a beautiful superstar.. Have you faced these
kind of problems? Oh! I got you. Belches.. - I don't know
about the other one you said..
No, this is something
very intense.. I mean.. Sour.. How do I tell her
what belch is..
Burp..
- Burp? I can burp.
- Show him. So beautiful! It is something
like picturising romance.. Can you do that? What? Do you think that's
how Indians burp? Right.. - We have many
kinds of people here.
Every state has its unique
style of burping. The style of South Indians
is different from the style of those in Punjab.. And again, Rajasthan
has its own style.. When they burp,
they spit out sand..
Trust me.. But she is sensitive. Even if she feels
like sneezing.. She won't let anyone know
it even in a conference.
Have you ever seen
Ms. Archana sneezing? She can't just sneeze like
any normal person. Let me show you.
- Oh! Ms. Archana I want to tell you something
about Sidharth.
- Go ahead. He is a very clever guy. The songs of his last
two movies were super hit. "That beautiful girl
took away my heart.." Okay? And what was
the other one? It's 'Kaala Chashma..'
- 'Kaala Chashma..' So, Badshah's rap in both
of those songs was very good.
They danced on it very well. He learned all of those
now. He's now doing everything
on his own. Yes! Wow!
- 'Bandook Meri Laila'.
He is playing a double role
and doing rap too. I fear that in his next film he will even play the role
of Jacqueline. Actually, we didn't get
any rapper.. So..
Ms. Archana,
Jacky's English is very fluent. And she is working in India
for so many years now. The chemistry between
you two is very good, isn't it? Yes, it is.
Then you have to ask these
questions to her. - Okay. You shouldn't show this
to her. These words are in English.
She has to translate
them in Hindi. Now that you are
an Indian girl.. You are married
to a Punjabi boy. Jacqueline Sharma.
It's very easy.
Here's goes the first one.. Red chilli. That's called 'Laal Mirchi'. Wow! It sounds like my
Hindi test.
I feel like I'm
in my tuition classes. Turmeric. Haldi. That's nice! Very nice! Cinnamon.
Hold on.. Is it 'Cheeni'? You are close.. 'Dal cheeni'? - Yes!
- Very nice! - Yes. Go, girl! I've tasted 'Kaju Curry'
prepared by Jacky.
It was really tasty.
- But when? Do you remember
that Farah's show? Yes. 'Kaju Curry'..
- Yes, it was so tasty.. It's a Sri Lankan dish.
- These rich people make these. We make ordinary Pakora curry.
- I made it myself.
We make onion Pakoras. You know Pakora curry?
- She's ready. Which one?
- Pakora curry. Pakora, No.
- No.. Curry..
- You know Pakora? Bread with Pakoras in it.
- Yes. Pakora Onion..
- Frying. Yes.
Take a big knife.
Cut it very fast.. - Okay. And then, slice it
again from the other side. Take some gram flour..
- Yes.
- Chilli powder.. - Yes. Salt.. - Yes.
- Take a frying pan.
Take lots of oil.
- Lots of oil.. Put them..
They'll start splattering.. And.. They will start splattering.
- Splattering..
Okay. Then..
Then.. He's boiling. - Okay.
- He's boiling? - Boiling..
He's cursing. He's abusing.
- Angry. - Why? And finally, he's dead! Because he became red. Then, take out one first.
Then, all of them, one by one.
And then, take some gram
flour again. Mix it with water. You'll have to mix it
with your hand. And then, wipe your hand.
The Pakoras in them..
As if you make them every day!
- Put them in the frying pan again.
- Okay. Again, it's boiling. Then, serve them. Five siblings
fight to get two Pakoras each.
This is our story.
- That was some story! That's the only curry we know.
- Oh! And look at these rich people.
Cashew curry. - Yes. I got to know what
cashew are quite late. The cashew nuts.
- Introduce..
- Yes. Hello, this is Kapil.
This is a cashew nut. So, what did
you use to have earlier? Peanuts.
- Rotis with Dal. Rotis with Dal?
- Yes.
I took my mom to KBC once. So, I was playing
KBC with Mr. Bachchan. We were chit-chatting.
Mr. Bachchan saw my mom.
And he asked mom about what all she'd
eaten that I became like this. And mom said,
she had just Dal and 'Phulkas'. So sweet..
- 'Dal-Phulka'
is actually, Rotis with Dal. Rotis with Dal..
- You're going to kill me today by talking only about the food.
I'm so hungry. I think you may have
kept a bowl under your table.. I wish.
It's not there.
Why do you think her
table is covered like that? Do we have that?
We do have a table here but it is not covered..
- Yes.. She keeps a bowl
and a stove under the table. There's a small cylinder too.
Like, when she laughs out loud I just told you
about our rice and curry, right? So, she will laugh out loudly and take out the rice
from the vessel.. Oh..
She will have half
the amount in one go! But she's so sweet.
I love you, Ms. Archana. Grandpa!
Grandpa.. Oh!
- Welcome..
Grandpa! Hi Sidharth, Jacqueline!
- Hi. - How are you? Good! - Hi.. Good.. I've never seen a person
greet anyone like this.
Like this! Greet people normally,
like this.. Who greets people
with that expression? Can't you say
anything on the face? Do you want me to?
- Yes. Get lost from here! I won't leave like that! I'll leave with a procession. Say it directly that you
want to marry an orchestra guy.
That tabla artist
has a huge crush on you. Kapil.. He gives his tabla a hard hit
whenever you arrive. Look at that.
Do it again! That's like it!
- I see.
Kapil!
- Yes? I've been unable to find
grandpa since morning. Do it!
- And on top of that.. Hey, stop it now.. Grandpa is nowhere
to be seen since morning.
Have you seen my grandpa,
Jacqueline? No, I haven't. Sorry. Even her
grandma never saw him. She has run away
on the very first day! No..
- Why do you expect her
to see him? He had been out for a
walk and he hasn't returned yet! Go to the kitchen. If you
don't find a big bowl there assume that he's
gone out to have lunch. Look, don't talk nonsense
about my grandpa. He's a thorough gentleman.
He's not a thorough gentleman,
but a dental man. His teeth are
in such a sorry state. The doctor opined that he had
to uproot the decaying teeth. And he told the doctor
that he had nurtured them well and he cannot let
go of them so easily.
She is just pretending here. There is one Pani Puri
vendor there.. - Yes.. She urges him to
serve him the Pani Puris without wearing gloves
as they taste better like that.
You just want to
insult me here, right? I was chit-chatting with them.
You disturbed us. I am quite an impressive girl.
What's your problem? No, you have caught a cold.
You were coughing so loudly last night
that I couldn't sleep. All right then, you
give me the medicine. Wow! It's available only in Agra.
Please get some
for me when you go there. She is closely related to Agra.
- I see.. - That's what.. Sarla, I love you.
For how long.. For how long
will I have to tolerate him? I just want
a gentleman now.. Oh! - What are your intentions,
Sarla Gulati? - Sarla? I intend to become
Sarla Malhotra from Sarla Gulati. I see..
How do you intend
to do that? Is your mother
getting married again? Excuse me! My mom is happy as she is. But I am destined
to be a Malhotra. I see! - No, it
must be your ailment.. You..
Archana ma'am, now that you
are here let me tell you.. - No.. - Let's
see here.. - There he goes..
She wears
nice dresses here and yet, she keeps taunting me
and keeps fighting with me. She was fine over there, right? In Comedy Circus? She used to wear a crown
and don a moustache and used to appear
like 'Ravan'. Here, we provide heels
and beautiful dresses. Did you feel good by donning
a moustache, back there? What? What is wrong with you,
today? I will speak the truth, today.
I have to search for
grandpa. Or else, I would give you
a befitting reply. Sidharth and Jacqueline,
I'll go and fine grandpa. I don't know
his whereabouts.
I'll see you later. Look at her gesture.. Normally it is like,
I'll meet you later. She cannot stop herself
from doing it.
I'll take your leave. In this manner.. First, I'll go and search
for grandpa. Mr.
Kapil Sharma, I'll
see the end of you. This would continue.. Sidharth, I have heard that
you have struggled a lot after coming to Mumbai.
- Yes. Three of you used to stay
at one room.
Yes, when I had come to
Mumbai I used to share my apartment with people. So there was
a one bedroom apartment. Okay. And three of us used to stay
in it.
Okay. So we had divided the bedroom
into three parts. I used to stay in one section
and the other two sections were occupied by two other
boys. For several months,
there were no curtains inside that room.
My friends had a huge painting
in their room I used to keep
it there. - Okay. And when there used to be
a special female friend.. Yes..
They used to hide the painting
as soon as possible. All right. I did not have a curtain
or anything for cover so.. So was this a struggle or
was it fun? He also plays a lot of games.
Sidharth plays basketball,
tennis and rugby. Jacqueline has a penchant
for horse riding. She has joined a club. Yes.
Horse riding.
- She is into horse riding. All these games require
prior investment. Have you ever tried,
bird-fly away? Crow-fly away?
- Yes. Because there is no investment.
And neither there is a bird
or a crow. Just like, cockroach-fly away. Yes. Yes.
Yes.
Do you wish to play? Yes.
- Okay. The one who loses,
will have to dance. Okay. All right.
- Yes! Ready?
Keep it here.
- Accepted. Bird, fly away.
Crow, fly away. Donkey, fly away. What is that? Can one see donkeys flying
in Sri lanka? Donkey! She got confused.
Say it in English.
- Okay. Okay. Sparrow, fly away. Crow, fly away.
Donkey, fly away. Donkey? Donkeys don't fly. Well, he lifted his leg. There is some problem.
- Yes? I don't know the names
of too many animals in English.
Does anybody in the audience
know to play this game? Say it, fast!
Who is it? Stand up.
Are you not ashamed of yourself? Even after growing up,
you play such games. Do you know the names
of animals and birds? Yes, ma'am. I know.
- What is your name? Kuldeep.
- There is no bird by that name. Come here.
Sit with us.
- Come.. - Yes. Crow, fly away. Cock, fly away.
Mosquito, fly away. Kite, fly away. Goat, fly away. No! No! I was saying..
I was saying.. Did you made the cock, fly? Yes, we did.
- When did you do that? I have done that a lot. I was about to say that
if you get it wrong.. And within that time,
he said that.
Kapil!
Kapil, the goat.. Did the goat fly? Okay.
What do you want me to do? Pole dancing. Jacqueline has done pole
dancing to this song called 'Chandralekha'
in the picture. Jacqueline has done it
really well.
- Yes. Someone get a pole. Yay! You made the goat fly, right? Come here. Come here.
Come here and dance. Wow!
He is very good. I was bad.
But you were worse. What kind of dance
is this? You were looking
like a guard.
Someone has come
in the society. Very good.
- Pal, you trapped me. Very good. Make sure you don't fly
goats, from next time.
Thank you, Kuldeep.
- Thank you.. Thank you. Yo, Bro! Wow!
- Come on! Wow!
What's up? How are you? Hey! What?
What do you want? Sit down! Sit down! Baccha, why are you wearing
this suit? I will wear it.
Why will I not wear it? I have got all decked up. From where did you get this tie? My uncle has come
from the village.
The tie has also come along
with him. Oh, my!
- She wished to see Bombay and hence, I have brought her
for sight-seeing in Bombay. Tie, roam around!
Roam around, Tie. That was just a joke.
The thing is I keep cracking
jokes. In reality, there was a match
between India and Australia a few days back. It was a tie. So I brought a tie
from there.
Ms. Jacqueline, I feel like
shaking hands with you. Don't do it at any cost.
Don't do it. He is touching you
using the hands with which he cleans
the poop of his buffalo.
Show me a buffalo
who produces 'Palak Paneer'. You are correct. - What
are you going to do here, today? I have got ready. Because I have to go
give an interview.
Oh..
- Wow! Go. Why have you
come here? I don't have
an interview. What should I give..
- What to give.. I came to know that
you take interviews while you all
give interviews.
If you have an extra
interview then give it to me. Is this an interview
or a sweet, to give and take? Interview is nothing
these days. Nowadays people
gives and takes kisses. What are you saying?
Who takes and gives kiss? Mr.
Sid is here. He stole a kiss
from Aliya in the last movie and gave it back
to Jacqueline in this one. However,
I lack experience, sir. Doesn't people go
for interviews? Yes.
What is needed
to be said? I have no idea.
Will you teach me how to appear
for an interview? Have your brought
your bio-data? I keep my bio-data
in my pocket, sir. Is it?
- Yes. Yes.
Ask me. What is your name? Archana Puran Singh.
It's written
Baccha, in here. When you know to read
why do you ask such nonsense? Oh! It's an interview. What a man? What is your weakness? No, I don't have
any weakness. However, my uncle
has some weakness.
He has trouble
in kneeling down. He has got weak
knee bones. His knees are weak
that's why he has trouble in kneeling down. Well said.
Sir, you are wastage. Baccha, your dairy
business is flourishing. Why do you want
to stop it? The thing is, sir.
I have a farm. However, the job
is very monotonous.
All my buffaloes
are bored of seeing my face
everyday. Yes. Everytime I go in there,
they turn their faces away and says, No.. So, I want to try
something new in life.
I am thinking
of reshaping this nation. How would you change it? Listen, firstly,
I am thinking of bringing change
to the manufacturing industry. Sir, you must have seen
that when you manufacture Jalebi Yes..
- Jalebi.. You keep coiling it up
like round..
It is very monotonous. Everyone makes
the same thing. No one uses
their creativity. I will change the shape.
I will make the Jalebis
straight. Wow! Then people will say,
'Look, what a simple Jalebi.' 'Wed it to Laddoo.' Something of this sort
would happen. I will connect an egg
to a 4G network in order to increase it's speed
in making an omelette. I will tell you why
is it so.
A hen lays egg on time
but then why is an 'om-late'? 'Om-late!'
- 'Om-late.' It has to go faster. I have got another plan.
- Okay. Well! Our cars run
on petrol. - Yes.
I am already half way
through a plan in order to run cars
without petrol. What is it?
- What's the plan? I will construct bridges
in the city. All the bridges will be
designed like this.. The cars will
go like this..
There won't be
a need of petrol. If the cars goes this way
and how will they go up? You do know that
my plan is still half? Half plan! Why should I take up
all the responsibilities? Construct the rest
of the plan yourself. Think higher. If that's not possible,
then nothing is possible.
Things such as these
will continue. I am thinking
of climbing the Mount Everest. What will you do
climbing it? I will climb down
from the other side. I don't have to
fry 'Papads' over there.
What to do?
Time pass. However, there was
an instance in your film which I watched. You said that
you like boys who take risks. There is no such man
in this world other than me who take take risks.
- Why? Yesterday, I ate
a banana.
What's the risk in that? Try snatching a banana
from the hands of a monkey. It will jump
and slap you so hard that it's future
will be stamped on your cheeks. Then you will know. However, Ms.
Jacqueline,
if you agree, I should say both of us should
circumambulate the fire for seven times. Baccha, that's too much. Well! Let's lessen it.
Circumambulate for four time. Siddharth, the actions
which you've done in the film..
Yes.. You can do it here too. What's the need
for some action? Instead some
dance steps.. Yes..
Would you like
to teach me some? Do you want to learn
'Chandralekha', the new song? Okay..
- Oh.. Oh..
Like this.. Oh, I enjoyed it.
Thank you. Yes, Bro..
Cheers..
- Thank you very much. You danced
really well.. - Baccha.. Baccha, how can you leave
like this? You have to crack a joke.
Jokes.. I roam around
with a jar full of jokes. I always keep it ready. So, my joke is ready.
Why does a dog wriggle
it's tail? It is because.. Wouldn't it be weird
if a tail wriggle it's dog? I didn't understand. Crack it
to her in English. - Yes.
A dog.
- Yes. - Wags tail. - Yes. Why does a dog wriggle
it's tail? Why does it wriggle? Wouldn't it be weird
if a tail wriggle it's dog? It will be weird.
Yes, it will be funny. I got you.
- It will be funny. Well! Applause.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
- It was a pleasure meeting you all.
Thank you. It was nice to meet you.
We will meet again. Cheers. Cheers..
- Yes..
Yes..
- See you later.. She is hot. Thank you. Grandpa.
- Yes.
You have started this
as well? Yes, you can come
and watch me sometime. He hurls questions
even before a man enters. He doesn't let me talk. Oh, Lord!
Stop me for sometime.
How are you?
- Sir, I am good.. Hi..
- How are you? - Mr. Kapil. Come, sit here..
- No, it's okay..
How are you? Are you feeling cold?
You've wrapped a muffler? No, I'm fine..
Hello, Jackie! - Hello! Hello,
Fernandes! - Hello! How are you? I heard that
song of yours - Which one? 'Get me a pair
of golden earrings'. I got it for you. Oh.. Thank you..
- Sit properly.
You can dance..
- Sit here. Okay, sit.. Whenever you need any help..
Regarding your songs.. Whenever you need help don't
hesitate to call me.
I can get anything for you. Grandpa, Ms. Sarla
is searching for you. Where are you coming from? Are you not feeling cold? I will tie it tightly,
you might be feeling cold.
Where are you coming from? Remove it. Or else..
- Is it? I will..
Actually.. I hope your neck doesn't
fall down. You stay here.
I am fine.
I am fine. Jacqueline, this is.. I told you about this grandpa. He will disturb you for not more
than two to three minutes.
He will exit after this. Is it?
What do you mean? Who are you to tell
Jacqueline about me? It sounds like someone else
is telling Archana which razor is good. Grandpa, you know about
Ms. Archana right? I know she is always moody
and when she comes in a car she throws attitude at us.
But..
But.. W-We're college friends. Hi, Archana!
- Hello! We both are friends anyway. I recollected looking
at the photo.
- You don't seem.. Jacqueline, I am meeting you
after a very long time. The first time I saw you,
Sri Lanka was this small. It's not Sri Lanka which
would be small.
But it is Jacqueline who
would be small. She was this small. You just shut up. I have seen in a map.
It is this small.
It is this small. It is small.
- Small? It is very tiny. Grandpa, talk to her
with some respect. Jacqueline knows Judo.
I know Ludo. What is the big deal in it? There is a difference between
Judo and Ludo. Do you know that? What difference does it make? Though you are a professional
at playing Ludo. You have to come back when snake
bites you at 99th position.
Did you get it? Nonsense! I am sorry. I'm sorry, if you don't mind
I'm feeling pressurised. Oh, God! I will make a move.
- Yes, mister. Good luck for your movie.
- Yes..
I will be right back.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Okay, bye. Bye.
- Bye! Bye.
- Bye! There are so many
of our friends here. They have few questions
to ask you.
Who is going to ask
the first question? Hi, Kapil sir.
- Hello! Hi, Jacqueline ma'am.
- Hello! Hi, Siddharth sir.
- Hello! I have a question
for Jacqueline ma'am. You ask first, then we shall
talk about it. I will call the police
if you say anything to her. I have seen your promos
on TV recently.
I've noticed that you have
and eye for risky boys. I wanted to say that
I am risky too. Wow!
Okay! What do you want to say? You might not know, I travel
in trains without a ticket. Oh!
That's very risky.
What an achievement! Leave that aside. I ride bikes,
with my both hands in the air. That makes you a crazy man. How is it risky? If you say,
I can climb mountains too.
Mountains! Why does she want
you to climb? Because she like risky boys. Yes, so what do you want? Don't answer. Oh! What can you do for Jacqueline
standing there in this moment? I don't know about
the later part.. I can dance with her.
I can do that too. This is not something to enjoy. Can you jump from there?
- From where? I can do it.
I can do it. You can do it?
- Hey, no..
Are you sure? It is not called jumping,
it's called falling down. It's not even considered
as falling down. It is considered
as killing yourself. Please come.
What is your name?
- Sujith! Sujith! Sujith, the winning moment
is when you fall down. Sujith! Sujith! Sujith, seriously?
- Don't do it. Forget about falling down,
ma'am is right here. Do something else
to impress her.
Frog jumping!
- Frog jumping! Frog jumping with Kapil. You have to sit like this
and imagine that you are sitting on a chair. Fine? Not like that.. Don't bend too much.
You have to sit like this. Like a squat. Yes! Stay there. Sit down.
Sit down.
There is no need of music. You keep sitting. Is there anyone else here? No, why did you stand? You keep sitting there. Go a bit more low.
Oh, God!
- This is fine. You sit here while
I talk to audience. First..
Do it.. From there..
Do this..
You have to sit and do it.
- He did it.. - Bend lower. Impressed!
Impressed! I am impressed.
I am impressed a lot. Fine, do this.
This is very easy.
Even kids can do it. Do this and show it. I'm asking you to do
simpler things than jumping. You have to do it quickly.
Like this.
Fine? You are so sweet.
Thank you, Srijith. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You are very risky.
Thank you, Srijith. Is there anyone else? Yes, please. Siddharth sir, I'm a very huge
fan of yours. Sir, black spectacles
suit you more.
But my friends say that
it suits me as well. So, can I dance with you sir?
Please. Even my friends say that
black suits me. You do it too.
Did you bring the black shades?
- Yes. Oh!
- You have brought two. Oh! The black shades
suits you a lot. This mic suits me a lot.
Give it to me.
Thank you. 'Black glasses looks
nice on you.' 'Looks nice on your white face.' 'Black glasses looks
nice on you.' 'Looks nice on your white face.' 'When you walk on roads.' 'Baby you put boys
hearts on fire.' 'And when you see us.' 'You show fake tantrums,

nice on your chin.' 'With your style you must kill.' 'At least ten to twelve boys
in a day.' 'There are many like you.' 'There can't be anyone like me.' 'There are many like you.' 'You are rural.' 'I am beautiful than Katrina.' 'I'm fed up of listening
to your whines.' 'I'm fed up of listening
to your whines.' 'Black glasses suit me.' Oh, my!
- Black glasses.. Thank you, Meenal.
Please come. Thank you, Meenal.
See you.
Thank you.
Bye! Superb!
You've danced very well. Is there anyone else? Yes! Yes, Mounika. Why are you laughing? Is Mounika not your name?
- No, Sir. I am Jayshree.
- Hail Lord.
Hi, Siddharth sir.
- Hello! Hi, Jacqueline ma'am.
- Hello! I am a big fan of yours. And I am coming from Gujarat. I was just listening to the most
popular song of yours. 'Chitiyan Kaliyan' I have written a smaller version
of the song in Gujarati.
Just for you.
- Wow! How?
How? Please sing it.
- Love you, Jayshree. Most welcome, ma'am. This is for you. Thank you, Jayshree.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much. Beautiful voice!
And you are so cute. The rhyming was messed up
in the end, right. Your white wrists..
It belongs to you..
Let's go for a movie.
It's a request. I will request. Thank you, Mounika. Thank you, Jayshree.
Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much for coming.
- Thank you. God bless! He has used a gun lot of times
in his movies. To check his target test,
we have called a volunteer.
You have to throw the rings. The rings are actually
quite bigger. Jacqueline, you both
have to try. One by one.
This area is yours.
This area belongs to Siddharth. What will I get if I throw
it here? He is your man. Okay!
- Keep some distance. Distance! From here, Jacqueline.
Come, Jacqueline. This..
This is your mark. Okay, ready?
Ready? Let's go..
Whoever gets.. Green is yours
and red is his.
Ready! Oh, no! Hold it tight.
Hold it tight. Wow! Yes!
Wow! Both of their scores
are balanced. One more.
One more. Take your time.
I couldn't figure out
who threw the most rings. Is it a tie?
- It's a tie. I won.
- It's a tie. Now you can go to washroom.
So, the match is tied
between these both. The gentleman movie will be
shown on this screen. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Siddharth and Jacqueline,
the audience who came here we shall gift everyone
a beautiful mobile phone. Wow! You have to decide
who entertained you the most or whom you thought is fun. Our audience can also decide. Who is it? The whole dance.
- Whole dance.
Whole dance. The first one who came.. That means I will keep the gift. Are you sure?
- Yes.
They should show us
one more dance. Sujith was also good. Sujith! Which song? Which song will you dance on? Nobody is there.. You have three options.
Jacqueline. - Yes.
- This is for your fan. He has danced a lot.
His shirt came off. His pant went below the waist.
- That's when you express yourself while
dancing.
He.. Congratulations. A big hand for Sidharth

Thank you so much.. Best wishes to both of you. All the very best for all your future projects. Thank you..
Can we just say bye..
- Keep smiling.. Keep watching
The Kapil Sharma Show. Thank you so much
to all of you. Thank you so much for coming.
Thank you...

The collapse of Venezuela, explained
Venezuela was once the richest country in
Latin America. It has the largest known oil reserves in the
world. And its democratic government was once praised
world wide. But today, Venezuelas democratic institutions
and its economy are in shambles.
The country has the highest inflation in the
world, making food and medicine inaccessible to most Venezuelans. Over the last four years, its GDP has fallen
35%, which is a sharper drop than the one seen during the Great Depression in the US. The countrys murder rate has surpassed
that of the most dangerous cities in the world. These conditions have sparked months of protests
against the president, Nicolas Maduro.
And its easy to see why: the country has
become measurably worse since his election in 2013. A poll showed that about 80% of Venezuelans
want Maduro removed from office. But instead, the opposite has happened: Maduro
has consolidated his power bringing the country closer to authoritarian rule. Maduros political ambition became evident
in December 2015.
Two years after he became president, a coalition
of opposition parties called the Democratic Unity Roundtable or MUD, won a two-thirds
majority in the National Assembly, putting Maduros rule at risk. In response, Maduro quickly forced out several
Supreme Court justices and filled the positions with cronies loyal to him. In March 2016, the court ruled to strip the
opposition-led National Assembly of its powers -- a move that sparked massive protests across
the country. The ruling was reversed a few days later,
but the damage was done -- protests continued to grow and have left about 100 dead and thousands
injured so far.
Despite the violence and public outcry, Maduro
held a vote in July to elect a new governing body called the National Constituent Assembly,
which would have the power to rewrite Venezuelas constitution and replace the National Assembly. And leave virtually non opposition to Maduro's rule. With Maduro's recent vote, Venezuelans didnt have
a say in whether the assembly should exist. They only had the option to elect its members.
But when Maduros predecessor, Hugo Chavez
proposed a constitutional rewrite in 1999, he first called for a referendum to propose
the election of the assembly. After most Venezuelans voted yes, they elected
a new National Constituent Assembly. See, unlike Maduro, Chavez was a charismatic
and beloved leader. In the 90s, he burst onto television sets
across the country.
He blamed government corruption and Venezuelas
elite for the economic inequality. His populist message resonated with the countrys
poor who eventually helped bring him to power. The key moment in his presidency came in 2004 when oil prices surged. Venezuelas petroleum- dependent economy started booming and Chavez went on to spend billions from the profits on social-welfare programs for the poor.
He subsidized food, improved the educational
system, built an enviable healthcare system and reduced poverty by more than half. These programs certainly helped the poor, but they served a purpose for Chavez as well. In order to be re-elected, he needed to keep
millions of poor Venezuelans happy. So he rigged the economy to do just that...
He didnt scale back Venezuelas dependence
on oil and his unrestrained spending led to a growing deficit. Which meant all these programs would be impossible
to sustain if oil prices fell. After Chavezs death, when Maduro took office
as his handpicked successor, thats exactly what happened:
Oil prices plummeted in 2014 and Maduro failed to adjust. Hyperinflation has made medicines and food,
that was once subsidized, unaffordable for Venezuelas poor, who now make up about
82% of the population.
Like Chavez, Maduro has also rigged the economy
to keep himself in power, but this time its not benefitting the poor.
Hes exploited a complex currency system, put in place by Chavez. Maduros set the official exchange rate
at 10 bolivars per US dollar. But only his friends and allies have access
to this rate. In reality, the venezuelan currency has become
basically worthless.
Most Venezuelans get their dollars on the
black market, where the rate is about 12,000 bolivar per dollar. The military, which got complete control of
the food supply from Maduro in 2016, is reportedly profiting off of this currency crisis. They import food at Maduros special currency
rate and sell it on the black market for a massive profit. So military generals and political allies,
crisis has offered a lucrative opportunity which has helped Maduro stay in power.
But he cant rely on that support alone... ...Which brings us back to Maduros recent
power grab. The opposition boycotted the vote, but Maduro
held the vote for the new constitutional assembly anyway, and won a majority. "Protests on the streets of Venezuela turned deadly after President Nicolas Maduro declares victory.
The violence on Sunday very real The bomb went off near some motorcycle police wounding several. Election day clashes between protesters claiming at least 10 more lives. At least one candidate has been murdered, shot to death. Maduro's government is trying to create the illusion of public support.
Thegovernment claimed about 8 million people,
or 40% of the country, voted. But experts put that number much lower, at
just 3 million people. The international community including Peru,
Canada, Spain, Mexico and Argentina condemned the election. The US imposed financial sanctions on Maduro
and members of his government.
But Maduros assembly, filled with loyalists,
convened anyway and it swiftly removed attorney general Luisa Ortega, leader of the opposition. Armed groups reportedly arrested several other
opposition leaders too. Whether the group will rewrite the constitution
or postpone the next presidential election remains to be seen. For now, Maduro has unprecedented power over
a country that continues to spiral out of control..

Surviving in the Siberian Wilderness for 70 Years (Full Length)
[MUSIC PLAYING] AGAFIA LYKOV: [SPEAKING RUSSIAN] JOHN MARTIN: Agafia Lykov is one
of Russia's Old Believers, an ultra-orthodox sect of
Christianity that still exists in small communities around
the world today. Fearing oppression and death
at the hands of Stalin, Agafia's father Karp fled with
his family into the Sayan Mountains of Siberia in 1936. Agafia was born into this harsh
wilderness in 1944. The Lykov family lived
undisturbed for 40 years, building a life in an
environment where the winter temperatures commonly dipped
to minus 30, the summer growing season is short,
and bears and wolves roam in abundance.
However, food was
always scarce. And in 1961, Agafia's mother
Akulina starved herself to death so that her children would
have enough food to eat. The area they settled in is
currently over 160 miles from the nearest town. In summer, it's possible to
reach the Lykov's cabin by a seven-day canoe trip.
In winter, while we had heard
rumors of a treacherous snowmobile route, it is
virtually inaccessible by anything other than
helicopter. In 1978, a team of Russian
geologists spotted the Lykov's hillside farm from
their helicopter. They later hiked in
to meet them. It was the first contact with
outsiders that the Lykovs had in over 40 years, and
it marked the end of their isolation.
Since that initial visit, the
Lykovs have become famous in Russia as the family of Siberian
hermits who didn't know that World War
II took place. They also suffered unspeakable
tragedy when the three elder children all died within weeks
of each other, presumably from pneumonia contracted from a
visit by the geologists. Agafia's father Karp later died
in 1988, 27 years to the day after his wife
passed away. Despite sporadic visitors over
the years, Agafia lived alone until 1997, when one of the
geologists, a man named Yerofei Sedov, moved to a cabin
down the hill from her.
So now, 35 years after their
first contact, Agafia is the only Lykov left, living the same
way she has since she was born and the only way she knows
how, off the land, in one of the most inhospitable
environments on Earth. Our journey to meet Agafia began
with a 10-hour red-eye flight from New York
to Moscow. Arriving in the morning, we met
up with Gleb Lisichkin, the editor of Vice Russia, who
would act as our host and translator. We then hopped on another flight
to the city of Abakan, which is right in the middle of
the country, just north of the Mongolian border.
Abakan is the capital the
Khakassia region, and with 165,000 residents is modern,
but by no means a teeming metropolis. We then met Igor, an employee
of the Parks Department, who would be accompanying
us to see Agafia. JOHN MARTIN: We used this time
to check out the town. Whew.
Ouch. The call finally came, so we
jumped in a van and drove several hours south to
the Shushenskoye. JOHN MARTIN: However, by the
time we arrived some severe weather came and grounded our
helicopter for another night. The unexpected delay gave us
time to buy some things that were on Agafia's wish list,
namely a goat and rooster.
On the third morning, the
weather had slightly cleared, and we were able to board
the helicopter. Despite some technical
difficulties, which made us second guess our choice of
aircraft, by that afternoon we were finally in the air on the
final leg of our journey. As civilization dropped away and
the taiga grew, we made an unexpected stop in a
snow-covered field to pick up Sergei, a Parks Department
official who spends most of his time living in the mountains
and has grown to know Agafia over his
years there. Siberia is a region in the
middle of Russia, covering about 5 million square miles, an
area nearly one and a half times larger than the
United States.
The area is sparsely populated,
with few major cities like Abakan, and is
mostly comprised of large swaths of untouched land called
taiga, a subarctic forest known for extreme
cold and massive amounts of wildlife. It was into this taiga that
Agafia's father led his family in 1937. We landed on the frozen river,
unloaded our gear and gift animals, and went to meet
Agafia and Yerofei. -[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] JOHN MARTIN: The helicopter left
and would only return in several days time if the
weather was good.
Hiking out wouldn't
be an option. AGAFIA LYKOV: [SPEAKING RUSSIAN] SERGEI KHLEBNIKOV:
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] AGAFIA LYKOV: [SPEAKING RUSSIAN] IGOR EGOROV: [SPEAKING RUSSIAN] AGAFIA LYKOV: [SPEAKING RUSSIAN] IGOR EGOROV: [SPEAKING RUSSIAN] AGAFIA LYKOV: [SPEAKING RUSSIAN] JOHN MARTIN: Despite
being 70 years old, Agafia is energetic. She gardens, fishes, forages,
cuts and stacks firewood all by herself. But it does take a lot to keep
up with her daily chores.
So she put Gleb to work. SERGEI KHLEBNIKOV:

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN] JOHN MARTIN: Agafia has
lived her entire life in the remote taiga. Aside from a handful of times
going into the city, she's never left. She has survived, alone and off
the land, with untarnished optimism and even taking care
of another person in this harshest of environments.
Despite the sporadic intrusion
of the outside world in the form of visitors, government,
media, and falling rocket debris, Agafia's daily life
remains mostly unchanged. Her continued existence proves
that it's possible for humans to live alone in environments
as difficult as this. There were once many Old
Believers living in the Siberian wilderness. And as we flew over the vast,
empty taiga, it was not hard to imagine that somewhere there
may well be more people like Agafia.

Why NY Daily News Employee Disagrees With Paper's Endorsement
TODAY THE NEW YORK
DAILY NEWS ENDORSED HILLARY. CLINTON. FOR THE PRESIDENCY, I SAY THAT
YOU SHOULD READ THEIR EDITORIAL. BECAUSE IT IS BOTH POSITIVE FOR
HILLARY CLINTON, IT IS ALSO ONE.
OF THE MOST ANTI-BERNIE SANDERS
PIECES I HAVE EVER READ. A LOT. OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT,
INCLUDING SHAWN KING WHO IS A. WRITER FOR THE SITE.
HE TOOK
ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE CLAIMS. THEY MADE IN THAT EDITORIAL AND
WROTE HIS OWN PIECE WHICH IS NOW. ALSO ON THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS. OUR REPORTER JORDAN CAUGHT UP
WITH HIM TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS.
HERE IS SOME OF THAT. >> BERNIE WAS RIGHT WITH WHAT HE
SAID ABOUT HOW BIG BANKS COULD. BE BROKEN UP. THERE WAS A
FUNDAMENTAL MISUNDERSTANDING.
HERE ABOUT WHO HAS THE POWER TO. DO THAT. NOT THAT BERNIE WAS
WRONG, BUT BERNIE WAS ACTUALLY. RIGHT, ACCORDING TO
ROBERT WRIGHT.
THE PRESIDENT HAS THE POWER. >> THERE YOU SEE SHAWN KING
TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE THINGS. THAT WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE
EDITORIAL, THAT BEING WHAT THEY. THOUGHT WAS IN AN ADEQUATE
PERFORMANCE ON THE PART OF.
BERNIE SANDERS WHEN IT COMES TO
SOME OF HIS ANSWERS THAT HE GAVE. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE NEW. YORK DAILY NEWS. IT HAS BEEN
DISSECTED AND DIGESTED BY EVERY.
MEDIA OUTLET OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS. I PERSONALLY. THINK THE EXPECTATIONS AFTER THE
FACT THAT THE MEDIA HAS PLACED. ON BERNIE SANDERS, IN TERMS OF
THE LEVEL OF DETAIL HE WAS.
SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE FOR. TECHNICAL POLICY, AND ONE
PORTION OF ONE ANSWER, IS. ABSOLUTELY INSANE. BUT THEY TOOK
IT VERY SERIOUSLY AND THEY SAY.
THAT IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS
THEY HAVE TO VOTE FOR HILLARY. CLINTON. WHICH I FIND IRONIC. HILLARY
CLINTON ALSO SAYS THAT SHE WOULD.
BE WILLING TO BREAK UP BIG
BANKS. DID SHE HAVE A BIG. SITDOWN INTERVIEW WITH THE DAILY. NEWS? DID SHE PROVIDE IN-DEPTH
DETAILS ABOUT HOW SHE WOULD DO.
THAT? NO. THAT NO EVIDENCE IS
ENOUGH FOR THE NEW DAILY NEWS TO. ENDORSE HER. >> I KNOW WE HAVE MORE FROM
SHAWN KING, HE IS A BAD ASS.
HE MAKES A LOT OF REALLY
GOOD STATEMENTS. >>HERE IS MORE ABOUT HIS VIEW OF
BERNIE SANDER'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE. SPECIFICS WHEN IT COMES TO
BERNIE SANDERS. >>I WAS FLABBERGASTED AT THE
NOTION, AND I SEE THIS IN MY.
PIECE, PEOPLE WERE MAKING IT
OUT LIKE SHE HE HAD NO IDEA. WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. >> RIGHT. >>HE LIVES AND BREATHES THESE
ISSUES AND HAS DONE SO FOR OVER.
30 YEARS. IT WAS A SHORT
INTERVIEW, A 45 MINUTE. INTERVIEW, WHERE I THINK HE HAD A TON OF. GROUND HE WANTED TO COVER.
I SAY
THAT WITH COMPASSIONATE EARS, LIKE, I HEARD THE INTERVIEW WAS
RUSHED. HAD HE KNOWN THAT HE WAS. GOING TO GET KILLED ON IT ON THE
BACKEND, HE WOULD'VE SPENT THE. WHOLE INTERVIEW UNPACKING, YOU.
DO THIS AND DO THAT. HE IS KNOWN FOR BEING A GUY
THAT IS INTO THE MINUTIA. >>THAT IS TRUE. >>THE FINAL PIECE WE WANT TO
SHOW YOU FROM JORDAN'S TALK.
WITH SHAWN KING HAS TO DO
WITH HIS POSITION AS THIS. ACTIVIST WHO DISAGREES WITH THE
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, BUT. ACTUALLY WORKS THERE FULL-TIME. >> I AM A YOUNG TURK INSIDE OF
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS.
THIS IS IN. ESSENCE. I GET A LOT OF FREEDOM
TO TALK ABOUT REVOLUTIONARY. THOUGHTS AND MOVEMENTS AND.
STRUGGLES, BUT BY AND LARGE, IT
IS GOING TO BE INDEPENDENT. MEDIA SOURCES THAT DRIVE
THIS CONVERSATION. >> YES. I MEAN, THAT IS PRETTY
COURAGEOUS TO SAY ESPECIALLY.
WHEN YOU ARE IN SOME WAYS
CRITICIZING THE VERY PUBLICATION. YOU ARE WORKING FOR. THAT IS. EXACTLY WHAT A YOUNG TURK WOULD
DO.
THAT IS WHAT CENK DID WITH. MSNBC, THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE
WHEN IT COMES TO CALLING OUT ANY. TYPE OF MEDIA ORGANIZATION. I
RESPECT SHAWN KING'S WORK.
I. HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HIS WORK FOR
A WHILE. I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW, I THINK IT'S GREAT. WITH THAT.
SAID, THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME INTEREST IN. MAKING BERNIE SANDERS LOOK BAD.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK OF. BERNIE SANDERS, OR THE MEDIA
COVERING HIM, THERE IS A VERY. SIMPLE WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER.
OR NOT A CANDIDATE HAS THOUGHT
THROUGH HIS POLICIES OR EVEN. WHETHER OR NOT HE IS ON THE
RIGHT SIDE OF AN ISSUE. ALL YOU. HAVE TO DO IS LOOK ON HIS
WEBSITE.
WE HAVE THESE. DISCUSSIONS ABOUT POLICIES ALL
THE TIME. WHILE HE IS GETTING. CRITICIZED, YOU CAN JUST GO TO.
HIS WEBSITE AND SEE EXACTLY HOW
HE WOULD FIND THE HIGHER. EDUCATION PROGRAM HE HAS IN
MIND, HOW HE WOULD GO AFTER BIG. BANKS. HE IS SO DETAILED ON HIS.
OWN WEBSITE THAT MAKING IT SEEM
LIKE HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS. TALKING ABOUT IS JUST LUDICROUS.
THAT IS RIDICULOUS. HE IS A VETERAN
POLITICIAN. HE HAS BEEN IN THE.
SENATE FOR DECADES. >>75 YEARS. >> HE HAS BEEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE
OF THESE ISSUES FOR A LONG TIME. HE IS VERY EDUCATED AND AWARE OF
WHAT THESE ISSUES ARE AND HOW WE.
NEED TO FIX THEM. THE SPIN
MACHINE CAN CONTINUE SPINNING, BUT THE MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE
THE MOST AWARE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT. THE TRUTH IS WHICH IS WHY YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT DETERRED. FROM BERNIE SANDERS SIMPLY
BECAUSE THE NEW YORK DAILY.
NEWS WANTED TO MAKE
HIM LOOK BAD. >> I READ HIS RESPONSE WHY HE
DOESN'T AGREE. IT'S JUST CRAP. I.
AM NOT SAYING THE NEW DAILY NEWS
IS CRAP, ALTHOUGH THEIR. HEADLINES ARE CRAP. I AM SURE
THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT PEOPLE. THAT WORK THERE, BUT THAT.
PARTICULAR EDITORIAL SUCKS. IT
DOESN'T SUCK BECAUSE IT ENDORSES. HILLARY CLINTON OR IS AGAINST
BERNIE SANDERS, IT SUCKS BECAUSE. IT READS LIKE EITHER A PERSON
WITH MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES.
OR TWO PEOPLE WERE
FIGHTING OVER A KEYBOARD AND. GOING BACK-AND-FORTH EVERY OTHER. PARAGRAPH. IT LAYS OUT A VIEW OF
WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA.
THE. ECONOMY IS RIGGED AGAINST THE. WORKERS, OUR INCOME IS
NOT RISING, IT DOES ALL OF THIS. BEFORE LEADING IT TO HOW HILLARY.
CLINTON IS THE PERSON THAT
RECOGNIZES THAT MORE THAN BERNIE. SANDERS. THEN IT GOES THROUGH-
MOST OF THE EDITORIAL IS NOT. ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON,
IT'S ABOUT BERNIE SANDERS.
IT. GOES THROUGH EACH OF HIS
POSITIONS AND THEN TALKS ABOUT. HOW HE IS WRONG, AND DESPITE
THEM UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEMS, EVERY ONE OF THEIR OPPOSITIONS
TO BERNIE SANDERS POLICIES IS. BASED ON SOME INSANE RIGHT-WING.
FRAMING OF WHAT REGULATION DOES,
WHAT TAXATION ACCOMPLISHES, ALL. OF THAT. THEN IT IS NOT EVEN
INTERNALLY CONSISTENT TO THAT. DEGREE BECAUSE THEY SAY BERNIE
SANDERS WOULD PUT TOO MANY TAXES.
ON AMERICANS. AND THEN THEY SAY
WE ARE VOTING FOR HILLARY. CLINTON BECAUSE SHE WILL TAX THE
WEALTHY IN AMERICA. IT'S THE.
SAME BACK-AND-FORTH ON HEALTHCARE.
EVERYTHING THAT THEY ATTACK. BERNIE SANDERS ON, THEY THEN
TAKE HILLARY CLINTON'S SIDE, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THEY. HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY DETAILS
FROM HER ON HOW SHE WILL PAY FOR. THAT.
EVERYBODY GOES CRAZY OVER. THE FUNDING OF BERNIE'S FOUR
YEARS OF PUBLIC FREE COLLEGE. HOW IS HILLARY CLINTON GOING TO
PAY FOR HER EDUCATION? I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE SHE HAS
NEVER BEEN ASKED ABOUT IT. >> FOR ANYONE WHO GOES TO HER
WEBSITE AND READS HER POLICY.
IDEAS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE
REASON WHY SHE IS NOT GOING TO. HAVE A HARD TIME PAYING FOR IT
IS BECAUSE THERE IS LITERALLY NO. CHANGE IN HOW THE SYSTEM IS SET. UP RIGHT NOW.
HER DEBT
FORGIVENESS PLAN ACTUALLY ENDS. UP BEING EARNED INCOME AFTER
THOSE 20 YEARS THAT SHE. SPECIFIES. SO YOU GET TAXED BY
THE IRS.
IF YOU HAVE $150,000 OF. STUDENT LOAN DEBT, AND ALL OF A. SUDDEN YOU GET FORGIVEN AND YOU
GET A 1099 FOR THAT AMOUNT, YOU. ARE FUCKED.
THAT IS NOT A GOOD
SYSTEM OF DEALING WITH STUDENT. LOAN DEBT IN THIS COUNTRY.
INSTEAD OF GOING THE FEDERAL. GOVERNMENT ROUTE IN THE FORM OF
A FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN, YOU WILL. OWE THE IRS IN THE FORM OF A TAX.
DEBT. AGAIN, IT IS NOT ABOUT WHETHER
OR NOT WE CAN PAY FOR PROGRAMS. THE PROGRAMS ARE FULL OF SHIT. WORRY ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO
PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS.
INCREMENTAL CHANGE OR
NO CHANGE AT ALL. >> A BIG PORTION OF THAT IS SHE
IS GOING TO EVALUATE YOUR FAMILY. AND SEE HOW MUCH YOUR FAMILY CAN. CONTRIBUTE.
THEY TOLD MY FAMILY
HOW MUCH THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE. IN REALITY WHAT MY FAMILY. COULD CONTRIBUTE WAS ZERO WHICH
IS WHY I HAVE SO MUCH STUDENT. LOAN DEBT.
AS I HAVE RIGHT NOW. THAT IS NOT
A SOLUTION. IT'S JUST PLUGGING. IN RANDOM VARIABLES ABOUT HOW MUCH
PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO.
CONTRIBUTE. THAT IS NOT A
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WE HAVE..
DAILY NEWS ENDORSED HILLARY. CLINTON. FOR THE PRESIDENCY, I SAY THAT
YOU SHOULD READ THEIR EDITORIAL. BECAUSE IT IS BOTH POSITIVE FOR
HILLARY CLINTON, IT IS ALSO ONE.

RUSHED. HAD HE KNOWN THAT HE WAS. GOING TO GET KILLED ON IT ON THE
BACKEND, HE WOULD'VE SPENT THE. WHOLE INTERVIEW UNPACKING, YOU.
DO THIS AND DO THAT. HE IS KNOWN FOR BEING A GUY
THAT IS INTO THE MINUTIA. >>THAT IS TRUE. >>THE FINAL PIECE WE WANT TO
SHOW YOU FROM JORDAN'S TALK.
WITH SHAWN KING HAS TO DO
WITH HIS POSITION AS THIS. ACTIVIST WHO DISAGREES WITH THE
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, BUT. ACTUALLY WORKS THERE FULL-TIME. >> I AM A YOUNG TURK INSIDE OF
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS.
THIS IS IN. ESSENCE. I GET A LOT OF FREEDOM
TO TALK ABOUT REVOLUTIONARY. THOUGHTS AND MOVEMENTS AND.
STRUGGLES, BUT BY AND LARGE, IT
IS GOING TO BE INDEPENDENT. MEDIA SOURCES THAT DRIVE
THIS CONVERSATION. >> YES. I MEAN, THAT IS PRETTY
COURAGEOUS TO SAY ESPECIALLY.
WHEN YOU ARE IN SOME WAYS
CRITICIZING THE VERY PUBLICATION. YOU ARE WORKING FOR. THAT IS. EXACTLY WHAT A YOUNG TURK WOULD
DO.
THAT IS WHAT CENK DID WITH. MSNBC, THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE
WHEN IT COMES TO CALLING OUT ANY. TYPE OF MEDIA ORGANIZATION. I
RESPECT SHAWN KING'S WORK.
I. HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HIS WORK FOR
A WHILE. I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW, I THINK IT'S GREAT. WITH THAT.
SAID, THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME INTEREST IN. MAKING BERNIE SANDERS LOOK BAD.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK OF. BERNIE SANDERS, OR THE MEDIA
COVERING HIM, THERE IS A VERY. SIMPLE WAY TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER.
OR NOT A CANDIDATE HAS THOUGHT
THROUGH HIS POLICIES OR EVEN. WHETHER OR NOT HE IS ON THE
RIGHT SIDE OF AN ISSUE. ALL YOU. HAVE TO DO IS LOOK ON HIS
WEBSITE.
WE HAVE THESE. DISCUSSIONS ABOUT POLICIES ALL
THE TIME. WHILE HE IS GETTING. CRITICIZED, YOU CAN JUST GO TO.
HIS WEBSITE AND SEE EXACTLY HOW
HE WOULD FIND THE HIGHER. EDUCATION PROGRAM HE HAS IN
MIND, HOW HE WOULD GO AFTER BIG. BANKS. HE IS SO DETAILED ON HIS.
OWN WEBSITE THAT MAKING IT SEEM
LIKE HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS. TALKING ABOUT IS JUST LUDICROUS.
THAT IS RIDICULOUS. HE IS A VETERAN
POLITICIAN. HE HAS BEEN IN THE.
SENATE FOR DECADES. >>75 YEARS. >> HE HAS BEEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE
OF THESE ISSUES FOR A LONG TIME. HE IS VERY EDUCATED AND AWARE OF
WHAT THESE ISSUES ARE AND HOW WE.
NEED TO FIX THEM. THE SPIN
MACHINE CAN CONTINUE SPINNING, BUT THE MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE
THE MOST AWARE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT. THE TRUTH IS WHICH IS WHY YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT DETERRED. FROM BERNIE SANDERS SIMPLY
BECAUSE THE NEW YORK DAILY.
NEWS WANTED TO MAKE
HIM LOOK BAD. >> I READ HIS RESPONSE WHY HE
DOESN'T AGREE. IT'S JUST CRAP. I.
AM NOT SAYING THE NEW DAILY NEWS
IS CRAP, ALTHOUGH THEIR. HEADLINES ARE CRAP. I AM SURE
THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT PEOPLE. THAT WORK THERE, BUT THAT.
PARTICULAR EDITORIAL SUCKS. IT
DOESN'T SUCK BECAUSE IT ENDORSES. HILLARY CLINTON OR IS AGAINST
BERNIE SANDERS, IT SUCKS BECAUSE. IT READS LIKE EITHER A PERSON
WITH MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES.
OR TWO PEOPLE WERE
FIGHTING OVER A KEYBOARD AND. GOING BACK-AND-FORTH EVERY OTHER. PARAGRAPH. IT LAYS OUT A VIEW OF
WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA.
THE. ECONOMY IS RIGGED AGAINST THE. WORKERS, OUR INCOME IS
NOT RISING, IT DOES ALL OF THIS. BEFORE LEADING IT TO HOW HILLARY.
CLINTON IS THE PERSON THAT
RECOGNIZES THAT MORE THAN BERNIE. SANDERS. THEN IT GOES THROUGH-
MOST OF THE EDITORIAL IS NOT. ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON,
IT'S ABOUT BERNIE SANDERS.
IT. GOES THROUGH EACH OF HIS
POSITIONS AND THEN TALKS ABOUT. HOW HE IS WRONG, AND DESPITE
THEM UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEMS, EVERY ONE OF THEIR OPPOSITIONS
TO BERNIE SANDERS POLICIES IS. BASED ON SOME INSANE RIGHT-WING.
FRAMING OF WHAT REGULATION DOES,
WHAT TAXATION ACCOMPLISHES, ALL. OF THAT. THEN IT IS NOT EVEN
INTERNALLY CONSISTENT TO THAT. DEGREE BECAUSE THEY SAY BERNIE
SANDERS WOULD PUT TOO MANY TAXES.
ON AMERICANS. AND THEN THEY SAY
WE ARE VOTING FOR HILLARY. CLINTON BECAUSE SHE WILL TAX THE
WEALTHY IN AMERICA. IT'S THE.
SAME BACK-AND-FORTH ON HEALTHCARE.
EVERYTHING THAT THEY ATTACK. BERNIE SANDERS ON, THEY THEN
TAKE HILLARY CLINTON'S SIDE, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THEY. HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY DETAILS
FROM HER ON HOW SHE WILL PAY FOR. THAT.
EVERYBODY GOES CRAZY OVER. THE FUNDING OF BERNIE'S FOUR
YEARS OF PUBLIC FREE COLLEGE. HOW IS HILLARY CLINTON GOING TO
PAY FOR HER EDUCATION? I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE SHE HAS
NEVER BEEN ASKED ABOUT IT. >> FOR ANYONE WHO GOES TO HER
WEBSITE AND READS HER POLICY.
IDEAS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE
REASON WHY SHE IS NOT GOING TO. HAVE A HARD TIME PAYING FOR IT
IS BECAUSE THERE IS LITERALLY NO. CHANGE IN HOW THE SYSTEM IS SET. UP RIGHT NOW.
HER DEBT
FORGIVENESS PLAN ACTUALLY ENDS. UP BEING EARNED INCOME AFTER
THOSE 20 YEARS THAT SHE. SPECIFIES. SO YOU GET TAXED BY
THE IRS.
IF YOU HAVE $150,000 OF. STUDENT LOAN DEBT, AND ALL OF A. SUDDEN YOU GET FORGIVEN AND YOU
GET A 1099 FOR THAT AMOUNT, YOU. ARE FUCKED.
THAT IS NOT A GOOD
SYSTEM OF DEALING WITH STUDENT. LOAN DEBT IN THIS COUNTRY.
INSTEAD OF GOING THE FEDERAL. GOVERNMENT ROUTE IN THE FORM OF
A FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN, YOU WILL. OWE THE IRS IN THE FORM OF A TAX.
DEBT. AGAIN, IT IS NOT ABOUT WHETHER
OR NOT WE CAN PAY FOR PROGRAMS. THE PROGRAMS ARE FULL OF SHIT. WORRY ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO
PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS.
INCREMENTAL CHANGE OR
NO CHANGE AT ALL. >> A BIG PORTION OF THAT IS SHE
IS GOING TO EVALUATE YOUR FAMILY. AND SEE HOW MUCH YOUR FAMILY CAN. CONTRIBUTE.
THEY TOLD MY FAMILY
HOW MUCH THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE. IN REALITY WHAT MY FAMILY. COULD CONTRIBUTE WAS ZERO WHICH
IS WHY I HAVE SO MUCH STUDENT. LOAN DEBT.
AS I HAVE RIGHT NOW. THAT IS NOT
A SOLUTION. IT'S JUST PLUGGING. IN RANDOM VARIABLES ABOUT HOW MUCH
PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO.
CONTRIBUTE. THAT IS NOT A
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WE HAVE..
Who Was the YouTube ShooterNYT News
The YouTube shooter,
Nasim Aghdam, was widely known on
Iranian social media as Nasim Sabz, which
means Green Nasim, because of her advocacy for
animal rights, healthy living and veganism. Her specific style of videos
made her relatively famous among Irans growing
YouTube and Instagram influencers. For instance, one showing
a rabbit where she explains the differences
between vegetarianism and being vegan. In another video,
she explains the benefits of eating a papaya.
One of her most
well-known videos here is one where shes
wearing a revealing purple dress. Dont believe what
you see, is a message appearing in the video screen. Im being discriminated,
and filtered on YouTube, and Im not the only one. And if you go and
check my videos, you see that my
new videos hardly get views.
She also criticizes YouTube,
and makes a physical protest, a year ago, by going on the
streets, posting what she claims to be a picture of herself
holding up a sign saying, YouTube dictatorship. And then there is a video that
gives more insight, if you will, into the life of Ms. Aghdam. She had fled her native
Iran decades ago.
In that video, she explains
that even though she was a member of
the Baha'i faith, which is a persecuted
faith in Iran, she doesnt really like
life in the United States. And she literally says:
In Iran they kill you by axe. But in the United States
they kill you with cotton, an Iranian expression
for saying that she is dying a slow death
in the United States. She was also repeatedly being
teased online for her comments.
Many Iranian users
in social media would ridicule her, would
tell her that shes crazy. And in one video she
actually explains that she's doing very well, and that it's actually the people who are making those comments
who are mentally ill. She also criticizes Instagram,
by saying that her followers are all real. She actually has several
Instagram accounts.
She also had a Telegram channel. Before she attacked
the YouTube office, and subsequently
killed herself, one of her last posts there
is a childhood photo of herself posing between flowers,
with one flower stuck in her hair..

Watch Highlights From Zuckerberg's Testimony, Day 2NYT News
You and your co-founders started
a company in your dorm room thats grown to be one of
the biggest and most successful businesses in the entire world. While Facebook has
certainly grown, I worry it may not have matured. I think its time to
ask whether Facebook may have moved too fast
and broken too many things. Who do you think owns an
individuals presence online? Who owns their virtual you? Is it you or is it
them? Congresswoman, I believe that everyone
owns their own content online.
And thats the first line
of our terms of service, if you read it, says that. After this new algorithm was implemented, that there
was a tremendous bias against conservative
news and content and a favorable bias
towards liberal content. Was there a directive
to put a bias in and first are you
aware of this bias that many people have looked
at and analyzed and seen? Congressman, this is a
really important question. There is absolutely no
directive in any of the changes that we make to have
a bias in anything that we do.
Well, you have a long
history of growth and success. But you also have a
long list of apologies. In 2003, it started at Harvard. I apologize for any harm
done as a result of my neglect.
2006: We really
messed this one up. 2007: We simply did a bad job. I apologize for it. This is proof to me that
self-regulation simply does not work.
Are you aware of other
third-party information mishandlings that have not been disclosed? Congresswoman, no, although we are currently going through
the process of investigating every single app So youre not sure? That had access
to a large amount of data. All right, but I only have four minutes. Was your data included in the data sold to the
malicious third parties? Your personal data? Yes. If you don't,
youre not listening to us on the phone, who is, and do you
have specific contracts with these companies
that will provide data that is being
acquired verbally through our phones
or now through things like Alexa or other products? Congressman, were not collecting
any information verbally on the microphone, and we dont
have contracts with anyone else who is.
Facebook has
detailed profiles on people who have never
signed up for Facebook. Yes or no? Congressman, in general,
we collect data from people have not signed up for
Facebook for security purposes to prevent the kind of
scraping that you were just referring to. As C.E.O., You didnt know
some key facts. You didnt know about major court
cases regarding your privacy policies against your company.

Russell Peters - Adventures in Saudi Arabia - This Is Not Happening - Uncensored
- I made fun of them for--women
weren't allowed to drive to drive in Saudi Arabia,
and I was going in on it. I'm like, "Well, maybe you
should let the women drive, 'cause you guys drive like
shit," you know, "And that"--so I was like, "Oh,
my God. "This is payback.
I'm gonna lose my head, and they're gonna blame fucking
ISIS or some shit," right? [Dark electronic music] - Oh! Ahh! Ugh! Oh! Ahh! Augh! [Cheers and applause] Super stoked to get this guy. Everybody fucking loves him.
One of the biggest comics
in the world, to be honest. Please give it up for
Mr. Russell Peters, everybody. [Cheers and applause] - I've been doing stand-up
for 27 years, so when you're doing it
this long and you start to progress,
things in your life change.
Like, my situation changed from
being this broke brown kid in Canada to a doing-okay kid
in L.A. Now, right? Or old-ass man,
but whatever. And I get to go around
the world. That's the beauty of
what I do for a living is I get to go around the world,
and I go to places that the American media
tells you not to go to because they want you
to be scared and keep your moustache
like that.
[Laughter] So recently I was in
the Middle East. I can't say which country
because I signed an NDA, but... [Laughter] But I was there. I did a show in
this place in the Middle East.
Well, I can say this. I was in Saudi Arabia, and--
and it was very different. I'd never been to Saudi Arabia
before, because I was always scared to
go to Saudi Arabia. Everybody was like, "Saudi
Arabia." I'm like, "Fuck you." And that's based on watching the
news in America, and I'm like, "Well, you better not go
to Saudi Arabia "or they'll tie you
to two different camels and they'll make them run away,"
you know what I mean? That's all you ever hear about
Saudi Arabia is that torture and beheadings
and they'll kill you and watch what you say.
That's all true. [Laughter] But--but you don't see it. In the Middle East,
it's very quiet. It's like, "No, don't tell
anyone what we do.
Just..." So anyway, I do the show there,
great--had a great time. There's 10,000 princes is Saudi
Arabia, so there's a lot of fucking
royalty just running around Saudi Arabia. So I do a show. I'm tripped out because
when I get onstage, the audience is segregated.
Not--not like this. Not like hipsters on one side
and, you know, like-- but it's, like, it's women on
one side and men on the other. And--because they're not allowed
to be together. And I was like, "Why can't
the women be together with the men?" And this is the honest
answer I got.
I thought it was
fucking hilarious. I go, "Hey, why can't the women
and the men be together?" "'Cause they'll go crazy,
want to fuck everybody." I'm like--
[laughs] You're--it's not the men that
are gonna go crazy, just so you're aware of this. These women are lunatics
apparently, and they're just
gonna fuck everybody, right? So I go, "All right.
Good plan." Right? And so we do the show, and then one of the other
princes who was a little more
higher up, I guess, in the prince hierarchy,
hears about the show and tells the other prince--
I guess, who's his cousin--and he goes, "I want a private show with
Russell." And then he comes to me at
the--they have this little after-party for me, and you
would think, like-- you're like,
"All right." You know, 'cause it's
Saudi Arabia, you're gonna be like,
"There's mad bitches. They got the doors closed." Fucking two chicks
in the whole room, and they're, like, sisters of
somebody in there, right? You're like, "Ah, come on, guy." And then there's guys--
guys are dancing with guys.
It's not--it's weird. It's not, like--
but it's not like here. You know, 'cause over--here in
America, we've lost the idea of what dancing is, you know? White people have won
the dancing war. I mean, let's be honest.
Like, when you go to, like,
an EDM thing, everybody's just jumping up
and down, and nobody's dancing anymore. That means white people won. [Laughter] And it's either that
or you're just fucking ass fucking everybody all night,
know what I mean? [Laughter] So when I say the guys are
dancing on each other, they're not like,
"Hey, bro, do it." You know, like,
they're just-- I'm not exaggerating. There was a dude doing
a dance-- [laughs] It looked like a camel.
That's what--that's what his
dance--his dance was this. [Laughter] He was fucking--I was like,
"Is that how you pick up chicks over here?" "One hump or two?"
You know? And then--
[laughter] So anyway the other prince calls
this prince and he's like, "Private show tomorrow,"
and then my brother, who's my manager, is like,
"All right, well, "let me talk to him, and then we can sort the details
out." And I go--I go, "I'm scared
about this, 'cause we're already here, and, you know, we already
don't know enough about these people, but..." And then he
comes over, and he talks to him, and he's like, "Oh, shit.
That's a lot of money." [Laughter] So I go, "Uh, yeah, we'll do
that show, right?" And then my brother goes, "Okay,
well, we're gonna need lights. "We're gonna need the cameraman.
We're gonna need the DJs. We're gonna need
the opening act." And he's like, "No.
Just Russell." And I'm like, "Oh, fuck.
All right." And he goes,
"Has to be private event." And I go, "All right.
Well, can you give me
any information?" "No information." I'm like,
"Well, how many people?" He goes, "It's a very small
party for the prince." And I'm like, "Okay." And I'm thinking small,
all right? Private thing. Maybe 50 to 100 people, right? I've done worse. 27 Years of stand-up,
I've done shows where there's two people
in the audience. I literally put the mic down
and just sat with them.
I was like,
"All right, listen. "It's--it's fucking stupid
for me to try and-- uh, what do you do?" You know, so... So... So I go, "How many people?" And they go, "Maybe 10 to 12." I'm like, "Oh, come on, guy,"
right? "This is ridiculous." And then my brother goes,
"Doo-doo-doo," and I go, "That's a lot of money.
Yeah, you're right.
Let's--let's do it." So I go to the palace the next
day, right? And I get there, and they put us
in, like, a waiting room, and then this guy comes in,
he goes, "Mr. Peters, please." And my brother and I--'cause,
you know, obviously he's got the same last name--we both get
up, and he goes, "No, no. You stay.
Just him." And--and I'm thinking, "Great,
I'm gonna get beheaded or some shit," right? 'Cause I talked mad shit the
night before, right? I mad fun of them for--women
weren't allowed to drive in Saudi--it's illegal for women
to drive in Saudi Arabia, and I was going in on it. I'm like, "Well, maybe you
should let the women drive, 'cause you guys drive like
shit," you know, "And that"--so I was like, "Oh,
my God.
"This is payback.
I'm gonna lose my head, and they're gonna blame fucking
ISIS or some shit," right? So--so I go into this room,
and it's a little-ass room with a 110-inch TV,
and I walk in, and I figure 'cause the TV--
say this is the TV behind me-- I walk in the room and I'm like,
"All right, I guess "I'll just stand in front of
this TV and do my little jokes for these 11 people
that are here." And I walk in, and then the
prince is sitting in the middle of the room, and he gets up, and
he goes, "Hey, thanks for coming." He doesn't sound like how you're
thinking. He's not like, "Please, please,
entertain my friends," you know. He's like, "Hey, thanks for
coming," and I'm like, "What the fuck is happening
right now?" [Laughter] Like, Ashton Kutcher's gonna
come out. Ha-ha!
You've been punked! You know.
And then-- so he goes--he goes, "Sit down.
Russell, please sit down." So I sit down, and I just start
making fun of everybody in the room.
Literally, like, I'm like, "You,
bam, you, bam," and then--and then the prince
is, like, feeding my lines. "That guy owns camels." And I'm like--and I'm like,
"You, fucking camel guy," and... "How's it going?"
And then-- I don't know if that's the
greeting or the dance, right? So... You know, the prince,
I'm making fun of him.
I start making fun
of the prince. I got a little fucking
carried away. And I knew when I was getting
carried away 'cause everybody went, "Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm." [Laughter] "Mm-mm. Everybody else,
no problem, but him? Mm-mm." And there's--then the prince
says to me--there's a guy sitting beside me, and he goes,
"Hey, Russell, that guy has one of the only brown diamonds
in the world." And I go, "What the fuck
is a brown diamond?" He goes, "Show him, show him." The guy takes off his ring
and he's got this little tiny-ass brown diamond
on a ring, right? And I go, "Oh, cool," and I go
to put it on my hand, and it wouldn't go past
my pinkie nail.
And I'm like, how
small are your hands? [Laughter] And I look at the prince
and I go, "This guy's got
child-like hands." And the prince starts laughing,
and then as a joke, I grab the guy's wrist, right? And I have friends that are
magicians, and they taught me how to take a watch off
somebody's wrist, so I grab his wrist, and I unlock his watch,
and I pull it off, and I go, "How small are your wrists?" And then I go, "Oh, wow.
Nice watch." I go, "What is that, a Richard
Mille?" He goes, "No, it's Hublot." And I go, "Oh, nice. I go, "Here." He goes, "Oh, keep it." And I'm like, "Okay, buddy," so
I put--I put the watch on, and I'm doing--I start talking
again, and about ten minutes later, I go,
"Hey, man, here's your watch." He goes, "No, no.
I give to you." And I'm like,
"What the fuck?" [Laughter] So I start getting comfortable,
right? 'Cause now I feel like
I've done my job. Everybody's laughed in this
room, and then the prince goes, "Come on, let's eat." And I go, "All right,
let's eat." So we go to this other room to
eat, and I'm sitting there, and I go, "Hey, man, where's the
guy that gave me the watch?" He goes, "Oh, he left." And I go, "But I've got his
watch." And he goes, "He gave it to
you." And I go, "All right." And he goes, "That's how it is
in Saudi Arabia. "If you like something we have,
and you say, 'I like that,' We have to give it to you." And I go, "Wow." [Laughter] "This it the best palace I've
ever been in." Didn't work.
Doesn't work on
real estate apparently. I should've complimented
the Rolls-Royce they sent to pick me up in though. - Whoo!
- God damn it, I fucked that one up, right? So--so I start, you know,
the prince is really cool, so I start talking to him. I'm like, "Yo, did you know
Osama bin Laden?" 'Cause he was from Saudi Arabia.
And I go, "Hey, did you know
Osama bin Laden?" He goes, "Well, I didn't know
him, but I know is family." I go, "Really?"
He goes, "Yeah." I mean, he was much older
than I am. I go, "Oh, yeah, I guess
that makes sense." He goes, "Yeah, but his family
is a very prominent family here in Saudi Arabia." They're--they built
Saudi Arabia. They were the construction
company that built it. He goes, "He went crazy.
"He went that way
and the family was this way, "and he was mad at Saudi Arabia
and he was mad at his family, so he went a little
fucking cuckoo." And then I was like,
"That's amazing," 'cause he's very--if you think
about the breakdown of Osama bin Laden,
he's very similar to Donald Trump. [Laughter] He's--he's the spoiled brat billionaire son of a developer who's fucking mad at everybody,
you know what I mean? - Oh, my God. [Laughter] [cheers and applause] So I go--I go--he goes, "Yeah, his family's very nice,
actually." And I go, "Really?" He goes, "Do you want to meet
his brother?" And I'm like, "Fuck yeah,
I do!" I was like, "I so want to meet
his brother!" So... So goes, "Okay," and he
says to some guy...
[Speaking gibberish] Random, like, "Oh, I don't know
what he's saying, but okay, sure," right? And then--so the next day I get
this call at my hotel and they send the car--
the prince sends a car for me, and I go, "What's this for?" He goes, "Oh, you said you
wanted to go see Saudi Arabia, so he sent a car so you can go
around and see everything." And he walks out with me,
and he's on his phone, and he's like, "Uh-huh, uh-huh." And he goes, "Hey, Russell, do you still want to meet
Osama's brother?" [Laughter] And I'm like, "Fuck yeah, I do!" And he goes, "Okay.
One second. Here."
And I go, "What's this?" And I won't say what--the guy's
first name, 'cause, you know, that'll give it away, but--but
it says blank "bin Laden" on the phone, right? And I'm like--I go,
"What's this?" He goes,
"It's Osama's brother." And I go, "Holy shit." So I go, "Uh, hello?" And he goes--
this is exactly-- here's what you're expecting,
right? Osama bin Laden's brother to get
on the phone, be like... [In deep voice] "Russell, what
are you doing, infidel?" Right?
So-- [laughter] I go, "Hello?" And this is what I hear
on the other end. "Hey, Russell."
I go...
[Laughter] "What the fuck is going on
here?" [Laughter] He goes, "Yeah, it's--yeah, I'm
blah, blah, blah bin Laden." I go, "Yeah, and I see that
on the phone." He goes,
"First of all, let me tell you, a big fan of your stuff,"
and I'm like, "What the-- what the good fuck is going
on over here?" Right? And he's like, "How long are you
in town for?" I go, "I'm leaving today." He goes,
"Yeah, I'm flying back tonight. "Oh, man, I'm gonna miss you. "Hey, stay in touch with me. Take my number." And I'm like, "What?" "Yeah, take my number." And I go, "All right." And I go, "Just so you know,
your name's going in as Dave Smith on my phone." [Laughter and applause] Thank you, guys.
You were great.
[Cheers and applause] .
weren't allowed to drive to drive in Saudi Arabia,
and I was going in on it. I'm like, "Well, maybe you
should let the women drive, 'cause you guys drive like
shit," you know, "And that"--so I was like, "Oh,
my God. "This is payback.
I'm gonna lose my head, and they're gonna blame fucking
ISIS or some shit," right? [Dark electronic music] - Oh! Ahh! Ugh! Oh! Ahh! Augh! [Cheers and applause] Super stoked to get this guy. Everybody fucking loves him.
One of the biggest comics
in the world, to be honest. Please give it up for
Mr. Russell Peters, everybody. [Cheers and applause] - I've been doing stand-up
for 27 years, so when you're doing it
this long and you start to progress,
things in your life change.
Like, my situation changed from
being this broke brown kid in Canada to a doing-okay kid
in L.A. Now, right? Or old-ass man,
but whatever. And I get to go around
the world. That's the beauty of
what I do for a living is I get to go around the world,
and I go to places that the American media
tells you not to go to because they want you
to be scared and keep your moustache
like that.
[Laughter] So recently I was in
the Middle East. I can't say which country
because I signed an NDA, but... [Laughter] But I was there. I did a show in
this place in the Middle East.
Well, I can say this. I was in Saudi Arabia, and--
and it was very different. I'd never been to Saudi Arabia
before, because I was always scared to
go to Saudi Arabia. Everybody was like, "Saudi
Arabia." I'm like, "Fuck you." And that's based on watching the
news in America, and I'm like, "Well, you better not go
to Saudi Arabia "or they'll tie you
to two different camels and they'll make them run away,"
you know what I mean? That's all you ever hear about
Saudi Arabia is that torture and beheadings
and they'll kill you and watch what you say.
That's all true. [Laughter] But--but you don't see it. In the Middle East,
it's very quiet. It's like, "No, don't tell
anyone what we do.
Just..." So anyway, I do the show there,
great--had a great time. There's 10,000 princes is Saudi
Arabia, so there's a lot of fucking
royalty just running around Saudi Arabia. So I do a show. I'm tripped out because
when I get onstage, the audience is segregated.
Not--not like this. Not like hipsters on one side
and, you know, like-- but it's, like, it's women on
one side and men on the other. And--because they're not allowed
to be together. And I was like, "Why can't
the women be together with the men?" And this is the honest
answer I got.
I thought it was
fucking hilarious. I go, "Hey, why can't the women
and the men be together?" "'Cause they'll go crazy,
want to fuck everybody." I'm like--
[laughs] You're--it's not the men that
are gonna go crazy, just so you're aware of this. These women are lunatics
apparently, and they're just
gonna fuck everybody, right? So I go, "All right.
Good plan." Right? And so we do the show, and then one of the other
princes who was a little more
higher up, I guess, in the prince hierarchy,
hears about the show and tells the other prince--
I guess, who's his cousin--and he goes, "I want a private show with
Russell." And then he comes to me at
the--they have this little after-party for me, and you
would think, like-- you're like,
"All right." You know, 'cause it's
Saudi Arabia, you're gonna be like,
"There's mad bitches. They got the doors closed." Fucking two chicks
in the whole room, and they're, like, sisters of
somebody in there, right? You're like, "Ah, come on, guy." And then there's guys--
guys are dancing with guys.
It's not--it's weird. It's not, like--
but it's not like here. You know, 'cause over--here in
America, we've lost the idea of what dancing is, you know? White people have won
the dancing war. I mean, let's be honest.
Like, when you go to, like,
an EDM thing, everybody's just jumping up
and down, and nobody's dancing anymore. That means white people won. [Laughter] And it's either that
or you're just fucking ass fucking everybody all night,
know what I mean? [Laughter] So when I say the guys are
dancing on each other, they're not like,
"Hey, bro, do it." You know, like,
they're just-- I'm not exaggerating. There was a dude doing
a dance-- [laughs] It looked like a camel.
That's what--that's what his
dance--his dance was this. [Laughter] He was fucking--I was like,
"Is that how you pick up chicks over here?" "One hump or two?"
You know? And then--
[laughter] So anyway the other prince calls
this prince and he's like, "Private show tomorrow,"
and then my brother, who's my manager, is like,
"All right, well, "let me talk to him, and then we can sort the details
out." And I go--I go, "I'm scared
about this, 'cause we're already here, and, you know, we already
don't know enough about these people, but..." And then he
comes over, and he talks to him, and he's like, "Oh, shit.
That's a lot of money." [Laughter] So I go, "Uh, yeah, we'll do
that show, right?" And then my brother goes, "Okay,
well, we're gonna need lights. "We're gonna need the cameraman.
We're gonna need the DJs. We're gonna need
the opening act." And he's like, "No.
Just Russell." And I'm like, "Oh, fuck.
All right." And he goes,
"Has to be private event." And I go, "All right.
Well, can you give me
any information?" "No information." I'm like,
"Well, how many people?" He goes, "It's a very small
party for the prince." And I'm like, "Okay." And I'm thinking small,
all right? Private thing. Maybe 50 to 100 people, right? I've done worse. 27 Years of stand-up,
I've done shows where there's two people
in the audience. I literally put the mic down
and just sat with them.
I was like,
"All right, listen. "It's--it's fucking stupid
for me to try and-- uh, what do you do?" You know, so... So... So I go, "How many people?" And they go, "Maybe 10 to 12." I'm like, "Oh, come on, guy,"
right? "This is ridiculous." And then my brother goes,
"Doo-doo-doo," and I go, "That's a lot of money.
Yeah, you're right.
Let's--let's do it." So I go to the palace the next
day, right? And I get there, and they put us
in, like, a waiting room, and then this guy comes in,
he goes, "Mr. Peters, please." And my brother and I--'cause,
you know, obviously he's got the same last name--we both get
up, and he goes, "No, no. You stay.
Just him." And--and I'm thinking, "Great,
I'm gonna get beheaded or some shit," right? 'Cause I talked mad shit the
night before, right? I mad fun of them for--women
weren't allowed to drive in Saudi--it's illegal for women
to drive in Saudi Arabia, and I was going in on it. I'm like, "Well, maybe you
should let the women drive, 'cause you guys drive like
shit," you know, "And that"--so I was like, "Oh,
my God.
"This is payback.
I'm gonna lose my head, and they're gonna blame fucking
ISIS or some shit," right? So--so I go into this room,
and it's a little-ass room with a 110-inch TV,
and I walk in, and I figure 'cause the TV--
say this is the TV behind me-- I walk in the room and I'm like,
"All right, I guess "I'll just stand in front of
this TV and do my little jokes for these 11 people
that are here." And I walk in, and then the
prince is sitting in the middle of the room, and he gets up, and
he goes, "Hey, thanks for coming." He doesn't sound like how you're
thinking. He's not like, "Please, please,
entertain my friends," you know. He's like, "Hey, thanks for
coming," and I'm like, "What the fuck is happening
right now?" [Laughter] Like, Ashton Kutcher's gonna
come out. Ha-ha!
You've been punked! You know.
And then-- so he goes--he goes, "Sit down.
Russell, please sit down." So I sit down, and I just start
making fun of everybody in the room.
Literally, like, I'm like, "You,
bam, you, bam," and then--and then the prince
is, like, feeding my lines. "That guy owns camels." And I'm like--and I'm like,
"You, fucking camel guy," and... "How's it going?"
And then-- I don't know if that's the
greeting or the dance, right? So... You know, the prince,
I'm making fun of him.
I start making fun
of the prince. I got a little fucking
carried away. And I knew when I was getting
carried away 'cause everybody went, "Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm." [Laughter] "Mm-mm. Everybody else,
no problem, but him? Mm-mm." And there's--then the prince
says to me--there's a guy sitting beside me, and he goes,
"Hey, Russell, that guy has one of the only brown diamonds
in the world." And I go, "What the fuck
is a brown diamond?" He goes, "Show him, show him." The guy takes off his ring
and he's got this little tiny-ass brown diamond
on a ring, right? And I go, "Oh, cool," and I go
to put it on my hand, and it wouldn't go past
my pinkie nail.
And I'm like, how
small are your hands? [Laughter] And I look at the prince
and I go, "This guy's got
child-like hands." And the prince starts laughing,
and then as a joke, I grab the guy's wrist, right? And I have friends that are
magicians, and they taught me how to take a watch off
somebody's wrist, so I grab his wrist, and I unlock his watch,
and I pull it off, and I go, "How small are your wrists?" And then I go, "Oh, wow.
Nice watch." I go, "What is that, a Richard
Mille?" He goes, "No, it's Hublot." And I go, "Oh, nice. I go, "Here." He goes, "Oh, keep it." And I'm like, "Okay, buddy," so
I put--I put the watch on, and I'm doing--I start talking
again, and about ten minutes later, I go,
"Hey, man, here's your watch." He goes, "No, no.
I give to you." And I'm like,
"What the fuck?" [Laughter] So I start getting comfortable,
right? 'Cause now I feel like
I've done my job. Everybody's laughed in this
room, and then the prince goes, "Come on, let's eat." And I go, "All right,
let's eat." So we go to this other room to
eat, and I'm sitting there, and I go, "Hey, man, where's the
guy that gave me the watch?" He goes, "Oh, he left." And I go, "But I've got his
watch." And he goes, "He gave it to
you." And I go, "All right." And he goes, "That's how it is
in Saudi Arabia. "If you like something we have,
and you say, 'I like that,' We have to give it to you." And I go, "Wow." [Laughter] "This it the best palace I've
ever been in." Didn't work.
Doesn't work on
real estate apparently. I should've complimented
the Rolls-Royce they sent to pick me up in though. - Whoo!
- God damn it, I fucked that one up, right? So--so I start, you know,
the prince is really cool, so I start talking to him. I'm like, "Yo, did you know
Osama bin Laden?" 'Cause he was from Saudi Arabia.
And I go, "Hey, did you know
Osama bin Laden?" He goes, "Well, I didn't know
him, but I know is family." I go, "Really?"
He goes, "Yeah." I mean, he was much older
than I am. I go, "Oh, yeah, I guess
that makes sense." He goes, "Yeah, but his family
is a very prominent family here in Saudi Arabia." They're--they built
Saudi Arabia. They were the construction
company that built it. He goes, "He went crazy.
"He went that way
and the family was this way, "and he was mad at Saudi Arabia
and he was mad at his family, so he went a little
fucking cuckoo." And then I was like,
"That's amazing," 'cause he's very--if you think
about the breakdown of Osama bin Laden,
he's very similar to Donald Trump. [Laughter] He's--he's the spoiled brat billionaire son of a developer who's fucking mad at everybody,
you know what I mean? - Oh, my God. [Laughter] [cheers and applause] So I go--I go--he goes, "Yeah, his family's very nice,
actually." And I go, "Really?" He goes, "Do you want to meet
his brother?" And I'm like, "Fuck yeah,
I do!" I was like, "I so want to meet
his brother!" So... So goes, "Okay," and he
says to some guy...
[Speaking gibberish] Random, like, "Oh, I don't know
what he's saying, but okay, sure," right? And then--so the next day I get
this call at my hotel and they send the car--
the prince sends a car for me, and I go, "What's this for?" He goes, "Oh, you said you
wanted to go see Saudi Arabia, so he sent a car so you can go
around and see everything." And he walks out with me,
and he's on his phone, and he's like, "Uh-huh, uh-huh." And he goes, "Hey, Russell, do you still want to meet
Osama's brother?" [Laughter] And I'm like, "Fuck yeah, I do!" And he goes, "Okay.
One second. Here."
And I go, "What's this?" And I won't say what--the guy's
first name, 'cause, you know, that'll give it away, but--but
it says blank "bin Laden" on the phone, right? And I'm like--I go,
"What's this?" He goes,
"It's Osama's brother." And I go, "Holy shit." So I go, "Uh, hello?" And he goes--
this is exactly-- here's what you're expecting,
right? Osama bin Laden's brother to get
on the phone, be like... [In deep voice] "Russell, what
are you doing, infidel?" Right?
So-- [laughter] I go, "Hello?" And this is what I hear
on the other end. "Hey, Russell."
I go...
[Laughter] "What the fuck is going on
here?" [Laughter] He goes, "Yeah, it's--yeah, I'm
blah, blah, blah bin Laden." I go, "Yeah, and I see that
on the phone." He goes,
"First of all, let me tell you, a big fan of your stuff,"
and I'm like, "What the-- what the good fuck is going
on over here?" Right? And he's like, "How long are you
in town for?" I go, "I'm leaving today." He goes,
"Yeah, I'm flying back tonight. "Oh, man, I'm gonna miss you. "Hey, stay in touch with me. Take my number." And I'm like, "What?" "Yeah, take my number." And I go, "All right." And I go, "Just so you know,
your name's going in as Dave Smith on my phone." [Laughter and applause] Thank you, guys.
You were great.
[Cheers and applause] .
