ANNOUNCER: Coming
to you from New
3
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:07,608
York City, the only city in
America, it's The Daily Show.
4
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:12,179
Tonight, Colorado considers
legalizing mushrooms,
5
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:17,284
Twitter is full of
fakes, and Jordan Peele.
6
00:00:17,384 --> 00:00:21,154
This is The Daily
Show with Trevor Noah.

00:00:21,255 --> 00:00:28,262

8
00:00:36,403 --> 00:00:37,771
Hey, what's going
on, everybody?
9
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:38,772
Welcome to The Daily Show.
10
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:39,773
I'm Trevor Noah.
11
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,608
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
12
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:43,210
Thank you for coming
out in person.
13
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:44,578
Thank you for being here.
14
00:00:44,678 --> 00:00:46,613
Thank you so much for being
here Thank you for being here.
15
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:47,614
Take a seat, everybody.
16
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:48,615
Let's do it.
17
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:49,683
Take a seat.
18
00:00:49,783 --> 00:00:50,851
Take a seat.
19
00:00:50,951 --> 00:00:52,386
We've got a fun show
lined up for you tonight.
20
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:54,888
The midterms are
getting people high.
21
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:57,491
Sean Penn just won
the war in Ukraine.
22
00:00:57,591 --> 00:01:00,928
And thanks to Elon Musk,
now you can be Elon Musk.
23
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:03,130
Plus, the one and
only Jordan Peele
24
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:05,065
is joining us on
the show, everybody!
25
00:01:05,098 --> 00:01:06,400
So let's do this, people.
26
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,735
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
27
00:01:08,836 --> 00:01:12,072
[music playing]
28
00:01:12,172 --> 00:01:17,377
[cheering]
29
00:01:17,477 --> 00:01:19,847
All right, people, I'm
going to be honest.
30
00:01:19,947 --> 00:01:21,248
With all the news
happening right now,
31
00:01:21,348 --> 00:01:25,085
I don't think we have enough
space in today's show.
32
00:01:25,152 --> 00:01:26,453
And I tried-- I
tried everything.
33
00:01:26,553 --> 00:01:27,454
I promise you.
34
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:29,122
I even put the news
in the laundry,
35
00:01:29,223 --> 00:01:30,123
hoping it would shrink.
36
00:01:30,224 --> 00:01:31,825
But then it just
came out cleaner
37
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:32,960
and smelling like lavender.
38
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:36,663
And we still don't have
enough time for it all.
39
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:39,099
Fortunately, not
enough time is just
40
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:41,335
enough time for a segment
we call Ain't Nobody
41
00:01:41,435 --> 00:01:42,336
Got Time for That.
42
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:45,205
[music playing]
43
00:01:45,305 --> 00:01:46,607
[cheering]
44
00:01:46,707 --> 00:01:49,009
All right, let's kick
things off with the midterm
45
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:51,478
elections, a night so
disappointing for Republicans,
46
00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:53,947
Mitch McConnell is flying
his jowls at half mast.
47
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:55,482
[laughter]
48
00:01:55,582 --> 00:01:58,185
As of right now, there
are several big races that
49
00:01:58,285 --> 00:01:59,820
are still too close to call.
50
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,657
For instance, will Republican
Adam Laxalt hold onto his lead
51
00:02:03,757 --> 00:02:05,058
in the Nevada Senate race?
52
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:08,061
Will Lauren Boebert squeak
one out in Colorado?
53
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:10,063
Will election denier
Kari Lake accept
54
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:12,466
the results if she loses
the Arizona governor's race?
55
00:02:12,566 --> 00:02:15,202
Or will she try to hang whoever
Arizona's Mike Pence is?
56
00:02:15,302 --> 00:02:16,837
Nobody knows.
57
00:02:16,937 --> 00:02:19,373
And one reason it's so
hard to predict the results
58
00:02:19,473 --> 00:02:22,509
is that Americans cast ballots
in so many different ways.
59
00:02:22,609 --> 00:02:24,211
And they all come in
differently and
60
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:25,779
separately, right?
61
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:29,349
Democrats tend to vote
early by mail or dropbox.
62
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:32,986
Republicans show up on Election
Day or use military ballots.
63
00:02:33,086 --> 00:02:35,689
And Herschel Walker
votes the way he fathers
64
00:02:35,789 --> 00:02:37,157
his children, absentee.
65
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:41,428
But there is one
unfinished race
66
00:02:41,528 --> 00:02:44,798
that's not all that close,
and it's a real trip.
67
00:02:44,898 --> 00:02:47,367
We are still watching
proposition 122,
68
00:02:47,467 --> 00:02:48,802
which appears likely to pass.
69
00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:51,438
And if it does, Colorado
would essentially legalize
70
00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:52,906
psychedelic mushrooms.
71
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:55,242
Passing the proposition
would decriminalize
72
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:56,877
personal possession right away.
73
00:02:56,977 --> 00:02:59,413
And then it would allow
licensed medical facilities
74
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:02,816
to administer the natural
medicine starting in 2024.
75
00:03:02,916 --> 00:03:04,184
Yeah, that's right.
76
00:03:04,284 --> 00:03:07,087
After being one of the first
states to legalize marijuana,
77
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:08,589
Colorado is now one
of the first states
78
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:10,057
to legalize mushrooms.
79
00:03:10,157 --> 00:03:11,058
And I think it's great.
80
00:03:11,158 --> 00:03:12,292
I think it is.
81
00:03:12,392 --> 00:03:15,162
Yeah, because instead of
creating a drug underworld,
82
00:03:15,262 --> 00:03:17,431
Colorado is bringing everything
out into the open, you know?
83
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:18,432
You can legalize it.
84
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:19,433
You can regulate it.
85
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:20,701
It's like those
parents who give
86
00:03:20,801 --> 00:03:22,069
their kids wine with dinner.
87
00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:23,403
You know?
88
00:03:23,504 --> 00:03:25,606
They're just like, yeah, I'd
rather they be drunk in front
89
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:27,374
of me because it's safer.
90
00:03:27,474 --> 00:03:29,610
And also it's funny to watch
them bumping into things.
91
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:32,946
Go, look at you, Tyler.
92
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:33,914
And I know right now--
93
00:03:34,081 --> 00:03:35,549
I know right now
there are some people
94
00:03:35,649 --> 00:03:37,818
seeing this law going into
effect, and they're panicking.
95
00:03:37,918 --> 00:03:39,553
They're like, shrooms
are going to be legal?
96
00:03:39,653 --> 00:03:40,621
What?
97
00:03:40,721 --> 00:03:42,122
And I'm like, but,
hey, hey, just relax.
98
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,624
Relax.
99
00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:45,192
Breathe.
100
00:03:45,292 --> 00:03:47,294
You're going to be just fine.
101
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:52,299
Just drink more water and
listen to some Enya, OK?
102
00:03:52,399 --> 00:03:57,104
Enya, Enya, Enya--
it's a weird name.
103
00:03:57,171 --> 00:03:58,105
I'm freaking out again!
104
00:03:58,172 --> 00:04:00,240
[shouts]
105
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:02,242
But, personally, I'm
all for drug laws
106
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:03,777
getting less restrictive.
107
00:04:03,877 --> 00:04:06,113
And if they do officially
legalize shrooms,
108
00:04:06,213 --> 00:04:08,482
I'm also excited for
their next ballot measure.
109
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:10,584
Why are my hands so big?
110
00:04:10,684 --> 00:04:11,618
[laughter]
111
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:12,953
Now if we had more
time, we could
112
00:04:13,053 --> 00:04:14,087
talk about whether
the acceptance
113
00:04:14,188 --> 00:04:16,423
of recreational drug use
can lead to increased
114
00:04:16,523 --> 00:04:18,192
understanding of the
therapeutic value
115
00:04:18,292 --> 00:04:20,894
of psychedelics or how
weird it is that drugs are
116
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:23,497
like the one illegal thing we
get to vote on to make legal,
117
00:04:23,597 --> 00:04:24,698
you know?
118
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:26,733
Like, why don't we legalize
jaywalking, or even
119
00:04:26,834 --> 00:04:28,068
better, jaydriving?
120
00:04:28,168 --> 00:04:29,703
Why do the pedestrians
have the sidewalks
121
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:31,371
all to themselves, huh?
122
00:04:31,471 --> 00:04:32,806
But we don't have the
time for any of that.
123
00:04:32,906 --> 00:04:35,609
Because while the US is
abandoning the war on drugs,
124
00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:38,512
Ukraine is still fighting
its war with Russia.
125
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:40,814
And its leader just
got some really
126
00:04:40,914 --> 00:04:43,083
strange military assistance.
127
00:04:43,183 --> 00:04:45,252
REPORTER: The actor
Sean Penn, most often
128
00:04:45,352 --> 00:04:47,287
doing the unpredictable,
he did it again,
129
00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:50,190
this time loaning his Oscar
to the president of Ukraine.
130
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:51,525
But it comes with a condition.
131
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:53,894
Video posted online
shows Penn handing
132
00:04:53,994 --> 00:04:56,096
the Oscar to Ukrainian
President Zelensky.
133
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:59,099
He said Zelensky can
keep it until Ukraine
134
00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:00,801
wins the war against Russia.
135
00:05:00,901 --> 00:05:02,636
Penn has visited
Ukraine several times
136
00:05:02,736 --> 00:05:04,638
since the fighting
began last February.
137
00:05:04,738 --> 00:05:07,207
If I know this
is here with you,
138
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,710
then I'll feel better and
stronger for the fight.
139
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:13,413
So great, great
honor, but until we win.
140
00:05:13,514 --> 00:05:15,649
When you win, bring
it back to Malibu.
141
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:17,184
- Correct, great.
- Yes.
142
00:05:17,284 --> 00:05:18,285
OK.
143
00:05:18,385 --> 00:05:25,392
[laughter]
144
00:05:31,565 --> 00:05:35,302
I don't even know how to
process this information.
145
00:05:35,402 --> 00:05:37,337
Am I on mushrooms?
146
00:05:37,437 --> 00:05:38,805
Is it happening already?
147
00:05:38,906 --> 00:05:40,574
Like, I really--
I don't get it.
148
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:45,679
How does the Oscar help
Zelensky fight the war?
149
00:05:45,779 --> 00:05:47,481
He just wants to
use it as a weapon?
150
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:49,116
I mean, if that's the
case, at least give him two
151
00:05:49,216 --> 00:05:51,718
so he can use them like
nunchucks, like on a chain,
152
00:05:51,818 --> 00:05:52,920
you know?
153
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:54,621
And it would be strange
enough if he just gave him
154
00:05:54,721 --> 00:05:55,756
an Oscar to help win the war.
155
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:58,292
But he wants Zelensky
to return it?
156
00:05:58,392 --> 00:05:59,426
That was the weird part for me.
157
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:02,162
He's like, make sure you
bring this back to me.
158
00:06:02,262 --> 00:06:03,363
That's a lot of responsibility.
159
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:05,432
The man is already running
a war against Russia.
160
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:07,201
Now he's going to
make sure that nothing
161
00:06:07,301 --> 00:06:09,536
happens to Sean Penn's Oscar.
162
00:06:09,636 --> 00:06:11,271
Just like air raid
sirens are going off.
163
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:12,606
They're like,
quickly, sir, quickly,
164
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:13,674
everyone get to the bunker.
165
00:06:13,774 --> 00:06:14,708
He's like, I'm coming.
166
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:16,210
I just need to find
Sean Penn's Oscar.
167
00:06:16,310 --> 00:06:18,278
[shouts] He needs it back!
168
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:20,514
He needs it back!
169
00:06:20,614 --> 00:06:21,715
The only way I think
this could work
170
00:06:21,815 --> 00:06:24,151
is if Zelensky gave
the Oscar to Putin.
171
00:06:24,251 --> 00:06:26,420
And then while Putin gave
the acceptance speech,
172
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,455
the music just played
him off, and then he
173
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:29,523
had to leave Ukraine.
Oh, wait.
174
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:30,524
I wasn't finished.
175
00:06:30,624 --> 00:06:31,525
OK, good night.
176
00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:33,827
Goodbye, everybody.
177
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:35,395
I actually hope
that Zelensky is
178
00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:38,131
a fan of Sean Penn's movies.
179
00:06:38,232 --> 00:06:39,967
Because we don't know
what else happened there.
180
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:42,436
It might have gotten
really awkward.
181
00:06:42,536 --> 00:06:45,672
You know, Sean Penn is like,
here, I want you to have
182
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:50,143
my Best Actor Oscar for Milk.
183
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:55,282
(IMITATING ZELENSKY) Yes,
yes, one of my favorite film.
184
00:06:55,382 --> 00:06:58,485
I remember watching
it and thinking,
185
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,587
wow, that is lot of milk.
186
00:07:00,687 --> 00:07:02,689
[laughter]
187
00:07:02,789 --> 00:07:07,027
No way you can
drink all that milk.
188
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:10,163
Powerful story.
189
00:07:10,264 --> 00:07:11,932
Now, if we had
more time, we could
190
00:07:12,032 --> 00:07:14,434
talk about the other major
development in the war, which
191
00:07:14,535 --> 00:07:18,105
is that Russia was just forced
into another embarrassing
192
00:07:18,205 --> 00:07:19,873
retreat from a major
Ukrainian city,
193
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,108
probably because
they heard Ukraine
194
00:07:21,208 --> 00:07:22,176
has Sean Penn's Oscar now.
195
00:07:22,276 --> 00:07:23,377
But we don't have
the time for that.
196
00:07:23,477 --> 00:07:25,112
Because right now
the one thing being
197
00:07:25,212 --> 00:07:28,582
mismanaged worse than Putin's
war is Elon Musk's websites.
198
00:07:28,682 --> 00:07:30,217
Well, Twitter has
officially debuted
199
00:07:30,317 --> 00:07:31,685
it's verified blue checkmarks.
200
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:34,154
And the feature is already
causing a lot of confusion.
201
00:07:34,254 --> 00:07:37,357
Subscribers who pay the $8
monthly fee are now entitled
202
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,294
to some additional perks,
namely the blue check mark
203
00:07:40,394 --> 00:07:42,796
previously reserved
for verified accounts.
204
00:07:42,896 --> 00:07:44,731
The problem is
some of those users
205
00:07:44,831 --> 00:07:46,800
are using their
newly-acquired verification
206
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:49,536
to impersonate celebrities
and other public figures.
207
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:51,705
REPORTER: Someone pretending
to be LeBron James
208
00:07:51,805 --> 00:07:53,807
tweeted, I am
officially requesting
209
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:55,275
a trade from the Lakers.
210
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:57,477
An account that appeared to
be from the pharmaceutical
211
00:07:57,578 --> 00:08:00,214
company Eli Lilly
announced that all insulin
212
00:08:00,314 --> 00:08:01,381
would now be free.
213
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:04,151
Meanwhile, a user
impersonating George W. Bush
214
00:08:04,251 --> 00:08:06,687
declared, I miss
killing Iraqis.
215
00:08:06,787 --> 00:08:09,756
And a fake account for Nintendo
simply tweeted a picture
216
00:08:09,857 --> 00:08:11,925
of Mario giving the finger.
217
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:13,126
[laughter]
218
00:08:13,227 --> 00:08:15,262
Oh, no.
219
00:08:15,362 --> 00:08:18,065
Because anyone can
buy verification,
220
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:20,534
they're now impersonating
famous people.
221
00:08:20,634 --> 00:08:23,470
Who could have
seen this coming?
222
00:08:23,570 --> 00:08:24,471
What?
223
00:08:24,571 --> 00:08:25,606
Everyone?
224
00:08:25,706 --> 00:08:26,707
Wow.
225
00:08:26,807 --> 00:08:31,478
Where were you guys
$44 billion ago?
226
00:08:31,578 --> 00:08:32,713
Look, I'm going to
be honest, and I'm
227
00:08:32,813 --> 00:08:33,814
going to be blunt here.
228
00:08:33,914 --> 00:08:36,817
Elon Musk is running
Twitter into the ground.
229
00:08:36,917 --> 00:08:38,752
And it's the best
Twitter's ever been.
230
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:39,786
[laughter]
231
00:08:39,887 --> 00:08:40,954
Are you kidding me?
232
00:08:41,054 --> 00:08:43,323
[cheering]
233
00:08:43,423 --> 00:08:45,425
Fake LeBron leaving
LA, Mario flipping
234
00:08:45,526 --> 00:08:49,162
the bird, George Bush telling
us how he really feels.
235
00:08:49,263 --> 00:08:53,300
The thing is an absolute train
wreck, and I'm here for it.
236
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,235
The only reason we know that
that wasn't the real Mario
237
00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:57,504
was because Mario would
never flip someone the bird.
238
00:08:57,604 --> 00:08:58,639
He's Italian.
239
00:08:58,739 --> 00:08:59,640
Come on.
240
00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:01,008
Yeah, he'd probably
do this, right?
241
00:09:01,074 --> 00:09:02,009
Or this.
242
00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:03,043
He's like, (ITALIAN
ACCENT) hey,
243
00:09:03,143 --> 00:09:04,444
Koopa, tell your mother
I said hello, huh?
244
00:09:04,545 --> 00:09:06,280
[laughter]
245
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:07,281
But who knows?
246
00:09:07,381 --> 00:09:08,415
Who knows?
247
00:09:08,515 --> 00:09:10,184
Maybe all of this
verified real, fake people
248
00:09:10,284 --> 00:09:12,286
on Twitter chaos is actually
part of Elon's plan.
249
00:09:12,386 --> 00:09:14,354
Yeah, maybe this is what
he's doing on purpose.
250
00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:16,690
Soon, no one will a real
account from a fake account.
251
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:18,325
And then he'll be
like, guys, did you
252
00:09:18,425 --> 00:09:21,795
see someone impersonated me and
spent $44 billion on Twitter?
253
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:23,197
That was crazy.
254
00:09:23,297 --> 00:09:25,365
Well, I'm just going to take
my money and be on my way.
255
00:09:25,465 --> 00:09:26,433
OK, bye-bye now.
256
00:09:26,533 --> 00:09:27,901
Bye-bye.
257
00:09:28,035 --> 00:09:29,169
Now, if we had
the time, we could
258
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:31,171
discuss how this
verified fiasco
259
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:32,172
isn't just hurting Twitter.
260
00:09:32,272 --> 00:09:34,041
It's also damaging
Tesla's stock.
261
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:36,777
Or we could definitely
talk about how Rihanna just
262
00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:39,112
said on Twitter that
she wanted me to perform
263
00:09:39,213 --> 00:09:40,547
with her at the Super Bowl.
264
00:09:40,647 --> 00:09:42,683
And, no, it's not a fake
account because she even asked
265
00:09:42,783 --> 00:09:44,718
for my Social Security number.
266
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:46,153
But we don't have the
time for any of that.
267
00:09:46,253 --> 00:09:47,788
Because while Twitter
is faking celebrities,
268
00:09:47,888 --> 00:09:51,058
a real celebrity is in
trouble for faking his life.
269
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:54,461
Vogue is suing rappers
Drake and 21 Savage
270
00:09:54,561 --> 00:09:56,597
for using a fake
cover story to promote
271
00:09:56,697 --> 00:09:58,866
their new album, Her Loss.
272
00:09:58,966 --> 00:10:00,701
So back in
October, Drake shared
273
00:10:00,801 --> 00:10:03,770
what appeared to be a Vogue
magazine cover featuring
274
00:10:03,871 --> 00:10:07,441
himself and 21 Savage with the
caption, "Me and My Brother,"
275
00:10:07,541 --> 00:10:09,710
on the newsstand tomorrow,
thanking Vogue editors
276
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:10,777
for their support.
277
00:10:10,878 --> 00:10:12,212
Well, apparently,
they did not like this
278
00:10:12,312 --> 00:10:14,781
because the publishers--
they filed a complaint
279
00:10:14,882 --> 00:10:17,284
in federal court this
week, saying the stunt
280
00:10:17,384 --> 00:10:20,320
was an infringement of
the company's trademark.
281
00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:24,191
So far, no comment on the
lawsuit from Drake or
282
00:10:24,291 --> 00:10:25,359
21 Savage.
283
00:10:25,459 --> 00:10:26,493
Yeah, that's right.
284
00:10:26,593 --> 00:10:30,898
Vogue is suing Drake and
21 Savage for $4 million
285
00:10:30,998 --> 00:10:33,967
for photoshopping
themselves onto the cover
286
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:37,304
of the magazine,
which, to be honest,
287
00:10:37,404 --> 00:10:40,207
I don't know if Vogue
has a case here.
288
00:10:40,307 --> 00:10:42,609
You can clearly tell that
this was a fake cover.
289
00:10:42,709 --> 00:10:44,878
I mean, Vogue lighting
Black people properly,
290
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:45,979
this is clearly not real.
291
00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:47,247
[laughter]
292
00:10:47,347 --> 00:10:49,449
We'll know it's parody.
293
00:10:49,550 --> 00:10:51,752
But the beef is very real.
294
00:10:51,852 --> 00:10:53,820
The biggest name
in magazines is
295
00:10:53,921 --> 00:10:55,689
going up against the
biggest name in hip hop.
296
00:10:55,789 --> 00:10:56,924
That's no joke.
297
00:10:57,024 --> 00:10:58,158
This hasn't
happened since Tupac
298
00:10:58,258 --> 00:10:59,526
got shot by Reader's Digest.
299
00:10:59,626 --> 00:11:01,295
That shit was no game.
300
00:11:01,395 --> 00:11:03,497
Now, just for context,
this Vogue cover
301
00:11:03,597 --> 00:11:05,399
wasn't the only fake
promotion Drake and 21 Savage
302
00:11:05,499 --> 00:11:06,400
have been doing, right?
303
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:08,068
He also released
a fake interview
304
00:11:08,101 --> 00:11:11,672
with Howard Stern, a fake SNL
performance, a fake appearance
305
00:11:11,772 --> 00:11:14,408
on NPR, like Tiny
Desk, which is a little
306
00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:17,611
weird because he's Drake.
307
00:11:17,711 --> 00:11:20,247
He doesn't have to fake any
of these things, you know?
308
00:11:20,347 --> 00:11:21,348
It's so weird to me.
309
00:11:21,448 --> 00:11:22,716
It's like, Drake, if
you want to be on NPR,
310
00:11:22,816 --> 00:11:25,853
I'm pretty sure
you can be on NPR.
311
00:11:25,953 --> 00:11:27,788
This would be like Obama
photoshopping himself
312
00:11:27,888 --> 00:11:29,256
at a Buffalo Wild Wings.
313
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:30,457
You know?
314
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:32,092
It's just like, (IMITATING
OBAMA) look, Michelle,
315
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:33,527
it almost looks like
I was actually there.
316
00:11:33,627 --> 00:11:35,128
How cool would that be?
317
00:11:35,229 --> 00:11:36,163
But, man, you're the president.
318
00:11:36,263 --> 00:11:37,965
You can go to a
Buffalo Wild Wings!
319
00:11:38,098 --> 00:11:42,636
[applause]
320
00:11:42,736 --> 00:11:45,405
Now, if we had the time, we
could talk about how Vogue has
321
00:11:45,506 --> 00:11:48,642
inadvertently given Drake and
21 Savage way more than $4
322
00:11:48,742 --> 00:11:50,644
million worth of
publicity by suing them,
323
00:11:50,744 --> 00:11:52,012
making this the most
successful marketing
324
00:11:52,112 --> 00:11:53,614
campaign ever for their brand.
325
00:11:53,714 --> 00:11:55,516
But we don't have time
to talk about that.
326
00:11:55,616 --> 00:11:57,451
Because we have some
brands who would like
327
00:11:57,551 --> 00:11:59,186
to tell you about some
very real products
328
00:11:59,286 --> 00:12:00,153
they'd like to sell you.
329
00:12:00,254 --> 00:12:01,255
We'll be right back.
330
00:12:01,355 --> 00:12:05,058
[cheering]
331
00:12:10,935 --> 00:12:16,073
[cheering]
332
00:12:16,173 --> 00:12:18,409
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
333
00:12:18,509 --> 00:12:21,345
Tomorrow is Veterans
Day in America.
334
00:12:21,445 --> 00:12:24,115
And to commemorate it, we look
at a group of veterans who
335
00:12:24,215 --> 00:12:27,218
sometimes get looked over
in another edition of Ronny
336
00:12:27,318 --> 00:12:29,553
Chieng teaches
you about Asians.
337
00:12:29,653 --> 00:12:31,989
[music playing]
338
00:12:32,089 --> 00:12:32,990
[bell]
339
00:12:33,090 --> 00:12:35,126
Hello, class,
thanks for coming.
340
00:12:35,226 --> 00:12:36,594
Although you really
had no choice,
341
00:12:36,694 --> 00:12:38,162
since if you don't come
to school in America,
342
00:12:38,262 --> 00:12:39,864
your parents get arrested.
343
00:12:39,964 --> 00:12:41,365
Today we're going
to learn about some
344
00:12:41,465 --> 00:12:43,968
of the great Asian
veterans in US history.
345
00:12:44,068 --> 00:12:46,403
Because Asians have
served in the US military
346
00:12:46,504 --> 00:12:49,907
for almost as long as America
has fought in wars, which
347
00:12:50,007 --> 00:12:51,742
is basically the whole time.
348
00:12:51,842 --> 00:12:55,146
America loves war so much,
it wants to have its babies,
349
00:12:55,246 --> 00:12:57,515
and then send those babies
to go fight in the next war.
350
00:12:57,615 --> 00:13:00,084
Anyway, first up is
Augustin Feliciano,
351
00:13:00,184 --> 00:13:06,423
who fought in the War of
1812, which happened in--
352
00:13:06,524 --> 00:13:09,393
see now, let's see here--
oh, huh, the teacher's guide
353
00:13:09,493 --> 00:13:12,363
doesn't actually say,
so nice going, morons.
354
00:13:12,463 --> 00:13:14,298
Feliciano was the
first Filipino
355
00:13:14,398 --> 00:13:15,933
to serve in the US Navy.
356
00:13:16,033 --> 00:13:18,836
But before he sailed with the
Navy, he sailed with pirates.
357
00:13:18,936 --> 00:13:20,137
That's right.
358
00:13:20,237 --> 00:13:24,575
American history has Asian
veterans and Asian pirates.
359
00:13:24,675 --> 00:13:26,710
I'm blowing your
frickin' mind today.
360
00:13:26,811 --> 00:13:29,447
What's next, Asian werewolves?
361
00:13:29,547 --> 00:13:31,415
No, that's beneath us.
362
00:13:31,515 --> 00:13:34,552
Let's fast forward to America's
Civil War, the first one,
363
00:13:34,685 --> 00:13:36,253
not the one currently
happening every day
364
00:13:36,353 --> 00:13:37,455
in your Twitter feed.
365
00:13:37,555 --> 00:13:39,423
The Civil War is where
Chinese-American soldiers
366
00:13:39,523 --> 00:13:40,991
began to make their mark.
367
00:13:41,091 --> 00:13:42,960
Of the roughly 200
Chinese-Americans
368
00:13:43,060 --> 00:13:45,996
living in the Eastern US
at the time, 58 of them
369
00:13:46,096 --> 00:13:47,131
served in the war.
370
00:13:47,231 --> 00:13:49,533
That's 58 out of 200.
371
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:53,104
Can you calculate the
percentage from that number?
372
00:13:53,204 --> 00:13:54,105
It's easy.
373
00:13:54,205 --> 00:13:55,272
You just cross out the zeros.
374
00:13:55,372 --> 00:13:56,440
You move the
decimal point over.
375
00:13:56,540 --> 00:13:58,242
You flip the whole thing.
You multiply by 100.
376
00:13:58,342 --> 00:14:00,478
And you plug your [bleep]
phone and use a calculator.
377
00:14:00,578 --> 00:14:03,814
Math is easy, especially
for me, a teacher.
378
00:14:03,914 --> 00:14:06,717
One of the most distinguished
Chinese Civil War vets
379
00:14:06,817 --> 00:14:08,219
was Joseph Pierce.
380
00:14:08,319 --> 00:14:10,955
He rose in the ranks to
corporal, the highest rank
381
00:14:11,055 --> 00:14:13,324
of any Chinese-American
in the Union Army,
382
00:14:13,424 --> 00:14:15,793
which I can also
relate to because I
383
00:14:15,893 --> 00:14:18,462
am the highest ranking
Asian at The Daily Show.
384
00:14:18,562 --> 00:14:22,366
Though, sadly, I do not have
as many confirmed kills.
385
00:14:22,466 --> 00:14:24,168
And, yeah, there
were white soldiers
386
00:14:24,268 --> 00:14:27,671
in the 1800s who were taking
orders from an Asian guy.
387
00:14:27,738 --> 00:14:31,008
Because those
guys were #allies.
388
00:14:31,108 --> 00:14:34,044
And they didn't even need to
brag about it on Instagram.
389
00:14:34,145 --> 00:14:36,680
All right, Julia, we get it.
390
00:14:36,714 --> 00:14:38,415
You taught your dog Cantonese.
391
00:14:38,516 --> 00:14:41,085
But not every veteran
got what they deserve.
392
00:14:41,185 --> 00:14:43,354
Edward Day Cohota was
a Chinese immigrant
393
00:14:43,454 --> 00:14:45,222
adopted by an
American ship captain
394
00:14:45,322 --> 00:14:46,524
who found the
Civil War, and then
395
00:14:46,690 --> 00:14:48,292
served for another 26 years.
396
00:14:48,392 --> 00:14:51,562
But get this-- America still
refused to make him a citizen.
397
00:14:51,695 --> 00:14:52,797
Do you believe that?
398
00:14:52,897 --> 00:14:54,899
I mean, this guy risked
his life in the military
399
00:14:54,999 --> 00:14:56,467
for almost 30 years.
400
00:14:56,567 --> 00:14:58,836
Most citizens never do
anything close to that.
401
00:14:58,936 --> 00:15:00,471
They automatically
get citizenship
402
00:15:00,571 --> 00:15:02,606
just by getting pooped
out of their mom's butt.
403
00:15:02,706 --> 00:15:03,607
That's right.
404
00:15:03,707 --> 00:15:05,376
I threw in some
sex ed for free.
405
00:15:05,476 --> 00:15:06,377
You're welcome.
406
00:15:06,477 --> 00:15:08,379
Let's move on to
World War I and one
407
00:15:08,479 --> 00:15:11,482
of its greatest Asian-American
heroes, Lau Sing Kee.
408
00:15:11,649 --> 00:15:14,552
He was a runner, which means he
ran messages to the front line
409
00:15:14,652 --> 00:15:16,954
all while dodging gunfire
and flamethrowers.
410
00:15:17,054 --> 00:15:18,055
That's right.
411
00:15:18,155 --> 00:15:21,025
This guy risked his
life to send messages.
412
00:15:21,125 --> 00:15:23,494
I hope this makes you
grateful for texting.
413
00:15:23,661 --> 00:15:27,031
In fact, I wish this was still
how we had to send messages.
414
00:15:27,131 --> 00:15:28,199
You'd probably
think twice if you
415
00:15:28,299 --> 00:15:30,101
had to run across a
battlefield to get someone
416
00:15:30,201 --> 00:15:32,136
a picture of your dick.
417
00:15:32,236 --> 00:15:34,438
Now let's turn to
World War II, which
418
00:15:34,538 --> 00:15:37,341
saw Asian-American heroes
like Daniel Inouye, who fought
419
00:15:37,441 --> 00:15:40,678
in the 442nd Regiment, a
unit made up completely
420
00:15:40,711 --> 00:15:44,248
of soldiers of Japanese descent
and one of the most decorated
421
00:15:44,348 --> 00:15:47,284
regiments in military history.
422
00:15:47,384 --> 00:15:48,986
During a combat
mission in France,
423
00:15:49,086 --> 00:15:51,455
Inouye escaped death when
a bullet to his chest
424
00:15:51,555 --> 00:15:54,225
was blocked by two
silver dollars.
425
00:15:54,325 --> 00:15:57,161
Try doing that with
Bitcoin, you crypto bitches.
426
00:15:57,261 --> 00:16:00,331
Daniel Inouye is why I
carry two silver dollars in
427
00:16:00,431 --> 00:16:04,368
my breast pocket at all times.
428
00:16:04,468 --> 00:16:05,369
Wait.
429
00:16:05,469 --> 00:16:06,871
Where are they?
430
00:16:06,971 --> 00:16:09,173
Oh, yeah, I got that
vending machine Coke.
431
00:16:09,273 --> 00:16:12,276
OK, nobody shoot me until I can
get to the bullion exchange.
432
00:16:12,376 --> 00:16:14,211
Even after his
military service,
433
00:16:14,311 --> 00:16:17,715
Inouye went on to serve
50 years in Congress.
434
00:16:17,815 --> 00:16:19,950
So congrats to him on
finding the only job
435
00:16:20,050 --> 00:16:21,552
worse than combat.
436
00:16:21,652 --> 00:16:23,287
But maybe the
biggest Asian badass
437
00:16:23,387 --> 00:16:26,490
to come out of World War II
was captain Nieves Fernandez,
438
00:16:26,657 --> 00:16:29,960
a Filipino schoolteacher who
became a guerrilla warfare
439
00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:32,129
fighter and led a
squadron that killed
440
00:16:32,229 --> 00:16:34,732
over 200 Japanese soldiers.
441
00:16:34,832 --> 00:16:35,966
You hear that, class?
442
00:16:36,066 --> 00:16:38,936
Schoolteachers can become
guerrilla assassins.
443
00:16:39,036 --> 00:16:41,439
Do not mess with us.
444
00:16:41,539 --> 00:16:43,541
Ow, goddamn, that's sharp.
445
00:16:43,674 --> 00:16:45,709
The last veteran we're
going to learn about today
446
00:16:45,810 --> 00:16:49,046
is a living legend, and not
how that term is usually used,
447
00:16:49,146 --> 00:16:51,816
like if your friend Jake wins
a stupid flip cup tournament.
448
00:16:51,916 --> 00:16:55,085
I mean, an actual
legend, Tammy Duckworth.
449
00:16:55,186 --> 00:16:57,855
She served as a Blackhawk
helicopter pilot in Iraq
450
00:16:57,955 --> 00:17:00,291
until 2004, when
her aircraft was hit
451
00:17:00,391 --> 00:17:02,293
by a rocket-propelled grenade.
452
00:17:02,393 --> 00:17:05,062
She lost her legs and
partial use of her right arm.
453
00:17:05,162 --> 00:17:08,265
For her sacrifice, she was
honored with a Purple Heart.
454
00:17:08,365 --> 00:17:09,834
I don't know why it's purple.
455
00:17:09,934 --> 00:17:13,204
I guess whoever designed
it was a huge Prince fan.
456
00:17:13,304 --> 00:17:15,239
But her service didn't
end with the military.
457
00:17:15,339 --> 00:17:17,007
She went on to
become the first Thai
458
00:17:17,108 --> 00:17:20,544
American woman and disabled
woman elected to Congress.
459
00:17:20,644 --> 00:17:22,279
She also became the
first woman to bring
460
00:17:22,379 --> 00:17:24,215
a baby onto the Senate floor.
461
00:17:24,315 --> 00:17:26,317
Although it definitely
wasn't the first diaper.
462
00:17:26,417 --> 00:17:28,419
Those dudes are old as shit.
463
00:17:28,519 --> 00:17:31,989
So, class, in conclusion,
from now on, when you think
464
00:17:32,089 --> 00:17:34,058
of Asians in American
history, don't just
465
00:17:34,158 --> 00:17:35,926
think of railroads
and that [bleep] guy
466
00:17:36,026 --> 00:17:38,529
from Breakfast at Tiffany's
who isn't actually Asian.
467
00:17:38,662 --> 00:17:40,764
Think of Tammy
Duckworth, Lau Sing
468
00:17:40,865 --> 00:17:45,202
Kee, and Nieves Fernandez,
who Kill Billed half an army.
469
00:17:45,302 --> 00:17:48,305
Speaking of which, I got to
go tend to this neck wound.
470
00:17:48,405 --> 00:17:50,107
Knowing how cheap these
school districts are,
471
00:17:50,207 --> 00:17:52,376
I probably have lead poisoning.
472
00:17:52,476 --> 00:17:54,245
Class dismissed.
473
00:17:54,345 --> 00:17:55,813
[cheering]
474
00:17:55,913 --> 00:17:57,014
Thank you so much
for that, Ronny.
475
00:17:57,114 --> 00:17:58,682
All right, stay tuned,
because when we come back,
476
00:17:58,783 --> 00:18:01,051
the one and only Jordan
Peele will be joining
477
00:18:01,152 --> 00:18:02,052
me right here on the show.
478
00:18:02,153 --> 00:18:03,254
You don't want to miss it.
479
00:18:03,354 --> 00:18:06,490
[cheering]
480
00:18:08,325 --> 00:18:12,596
[cheering]
481
00:18:12,696 --> 00:18:14,631
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
482
00:18:14,732 --> 00:18:17,668
My guest tonight is an
Academy Award winner,
483
00:18:17,768 --> 00:18:20,637
who created the hit films Get
Out, Us, and, most
484
00:18:20,738 --> 00:18:22,206
recently, Nope.
485
00:18:22,306 --> 00:18:26,243
He's here to talk about his new
Spotify original audio horror
486
00:18:26,343 --> 00:18:28,612
series called Quiet Part Loud.
487
00:18:28,712 --> 00:18:30,681
Please, welcome Jordan Peele.
488
00:18:30,781 --> 00:18:33,617
[cheering]
489
00:18:33,717 --> 00:18:40,724
[music playing]
490
00:18:52,403 --> 00:18:53,570
That feels good.
491
00:18:53,670 --> 00:19:00,644
That feels-- that feels
absolutely wonderful.
492
00:19:01,879 --> 00:19:04,081
Feels appropriate.
493
00:19:04,181 --> 00:19:05,082
You think so?
494
00:19:05,182 --> 00:19:06,817
Feels appropriate.
495
00:19:06,917 --> 00:19:08,819
That's what we're going-- it's
just going to be half an hour
496
00:19:08,919 --> 00:19:09,820
of applause for you.
497
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,722
That's overwhelming.
498
00:19:11,822 --> 00:19:13,023
That's an
overwhelming response.
499
00:19:13,123 --> 00:19:14,091
That's what you deserve.
500
00:19:14,191 --> 00:19:15,092
That's how you
make people feel.
501
00:19:15,192 --> 00:19:16,427
That's what you deserve.
502
00:19:16,527 --> 00:19:17,828
No, that's what you deserve,
my friend, and I mean that.
503
00:19:17,928 --> 00:19:20,264
[cheering]
504
00:19:20,364 --> 00:19:21,432
I mean this honestly.
505
00:19:21,532 --> 00:19:22,633
I mean this honestly.
506
00:19:22,733 --> 00:19:26,003
You know, I was scrolling
on my TV the other day.
507
00:19:26,103 --> 00:19:27,838
And, you know, I was
bouncing around everything
508
00:19:27,938 --> 00:19:30,374
between, like, YouTube,
and then going to Netflix,
509
00:19:30,474 --> 00:19:31,942
and then bouncing,
like, different apps
510
00:19:32,042 --> 00:19:34,712
and watching-- it's amazing
to see the impact that you
511
00:19:34,812 --> 00:19:36,080
have had on the culture.
512
00:19:36,180 --> 00:19:39,650
Obviously-- no, really,
with Key and Peele,
513
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:42,086
some of the funniest
moments and ideas
514
00:19:42,186 --> 00:19:44,354
still existing on TikTok,
kids loving them today,
515
00:19:44,455 --> 00:19:46,690
and then you move into, like,
what you did with Keanu,
516
00:19:46,790 --> 00:19:48,292
and then the new
range of movies.
517
00:19:48,392 --> 00:19:49,460
I do want to understand this.
518
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,594
JORDAN PEELE: OK.
519
00:19:50,694 --> 00:19:52,129
You're one of the
funniest people out there.
520
00:19:52,229 --> 00:19:53,964
You were for a very
long time putting out
521
00:19:53,997 --> 00:19:55,032
some of the funniest content.
522
00:19:55,132 --> 00:19:58,335
And now it's just
like scary shit.
523
00:19:58,435 --> 00:19:59,803
[laughter]
524
00:19:59,970 --> 00:20:00,804
Is this for balance?
525
00:20:00,971 --> 00:20:03,207
What happened?
526
00:20:03,307 --> 00:20:05,109
Is it weird that
I think it's funny?
527
00:20:05,209 --> 00:20:06,243
[laughter]
528
00:20:06,343 --> 00:20:07,378
Is it?
529
00:20:07,478 --> 00:20:11,081
You know, I think the
comedy part of my career
530
00:20:11,181 --> 00:20:12,416
is still going.
531
00:20:12,516 --> 00:20:13,784
I think it's still active.
532
00:20:13,917 --> 00:20:14,752
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
533
00:20:14,918 --> 00:20:16,520
And part of that--
534
00:20:16,620 --> 00:20:19,690
I talk about it as sort of like
the difference between comedy
535
00:20:19,790 --> 00:20:21,792
and horror is the music.
536
00:20:21,925 --> 00:20:23,193
And it really does--
537
00:20:23,293 --> 00:20:24,561
it does feel like that.
538
00:20:24,661 --> 00:20:25,696
When we--
539
00:20:25,796 --> 00:20:27,297
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
540
00:20:27,398 --> 00:20:28,298
[laughter]
541
00:20:28,399 --> 00:20:29,299
What are you--
542
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,801
Now I'm picturing
the scene in Get
543
00:20:30,934 --> 00:20:33,070
Out where the guy's running--
544
00:20:33,170 --> 00:20:34,638
like, you know when he's
running at the camera,
545
00:20:34,738 --> 00:20:36,407
and he's like head on.
But now I'm picturing like--
546
00:20:36,507 --> 00:20:37,408
[harmonizing circus music]
547
00:20:37,508 --> 00:20:38,642
[laughter]
548
00:20:38,742 --> 00:20:39,643
I mean--
549
00:20:39,743 --> 00:20:41,111
Just like Benny
Hill, and it's funny.
550
00:20:41,211 --> 00:20:42,112
It's funny.
551
00:20:42,212 --> 00:20:43,313
And it's very funny.
552
00:20:43,414 --> 00:20:44,982
And I could have done that.
553
00:20:45,082 --> 00:20:46,850
I was at the finish
line with that film.
554
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:47,951
- [laughs]
- I could have gone either way.
555
00:20:48,018 --> 00:20:49,720
It would have been
a very different film.
556
00:20:49,820 --> 00:20:51,522
But thank you
for saying that.
557
00:20:51,622 --> 00:20:53,957
Yeah, no, I love comedy.
558
00:20:54,058 --> 00:20:58,095
It became very complex
somehow, making comedy
559
00:20:58,195 --> 00:21:00,297
in this world as it
is complex, I think,
560
00:21:00,397 --> 00:21:02,132
making anything or getting
anything accomplished
561
00:21:02,232 --> 00:21:03,167
in this world right now.
562
00:21:03,267 --> 00:21:04,568
It feels like you
were the only person
563
00:21:04,668 --> 00:21:08,372
who wasn't surprised about the
filmmaker you would turn into.
564
00:21:08,472 --> 00:21:09,473
And I think it's
because you came
565
00:21:09,573 --> 00:21:10,674
from this world of sketch.
566
00:21:10,774 --> 00:21:12,976
And sketch always seems
unplanned and unprepared.
567
00:21:13,077 --> 00:21:14,511
It seems off the cuff.
568
00:21:14,611 --> 00:21:16,413
But there's so much
work that goes into it.
569
00:21:16,513 --> 00:21:20,084
And now you've turned into--
or rather you've been revealed
570
00:21:20,184 --> 00:21:23,320
to us as this film maker.
571
00:21:23,420 --> 00:21:24,922
Like, when I was
watching Nope, you're
572
00:21:24,988 --> 00:21:26,457
sitting in that movie theater.
573
00:21:26,557 --> 00:21:28,192
Nobody knows what's
going to happen,
574
00:21:28,292 --> 00:21:29,927
why it's going to happen,
how it's going to happen.
575
00:21:29,993 --> 00:21:31,428
You successfully
got people to not
576
00:21:31,528 --> 00:21:33,130
spoil any of the plot points.
577
00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:34,698
I don't know how you did that.
578
00:21:34,798 --> 00:21:36,633
Because people who saw, they're
like, have you seen Nope?
579
00:21:36,734 --> 00:21:38,168
I was like, no, I haven't.
How is it?
580
00:21:38,268 --> 00:21:39,203
They're like, mm.
581
00:21:39,303 --> 00:21:40,204
Nope.
582
00:21:40,304 --> 00:21:41,672
[laughter]
583
00:21:41,772 --> 00:21:42,806
Yeah, yeah.
584
00:21:42,940 --> 00:21:44,675
But you create, like--
you create a feeling.
585
00:21:44,775 --> 00:21:45,776
Thank you.
586
00:21:45,943 --> 00:21:49,646
Well, I just have this
love of my audience.
587
00:21:49,747 --> 00:21:52,182
And I think what my
audience has been telling
588
00:21:52,282 --> 00:21:54,685
me and responding to
is that very thing is
589
00:21:54,785 --> 00:21:57,821
something that they
love and that they're
590
00:21:57,955 --> 00:21:59,289
going to show up for it.
591
00:21:59,390 --> 00:22:04,962
And so when-- and
you say I knew.
592
00:22:04,995 --> 00:22:07,131
When I made-- when
I wrote Get Out,
593
00:22:07,231 --> 00:22:09,666
I didn't even know if they
would let me direct it.
594
00:22:09,767 --> 00:22:10,667
I didn't--
595
00:22:10,768 --> 00:22:11,802
TREVOR NOAH: For real?
596
00:22:11,902 --> 00:22:15,906
Yeah, that's how much
has changed in my life.
597
00:22:16,006 --> 00:22:17,808
You know, I was trying
to push this thing.
598
00:22:17,908 --> 00:22:20,978
And so I-- luckily, I
found a wonderful home and
599
00:22:21,078 --> 00:22:22,713
wonderful producers for it.
600
00:22:22,813 --> 00:22:26,550
But when I made Nope,
then I was like,
601
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:28,552
OK, now hold on a second.
602
00:22:28,652 --> 00:22:31,255
They're going to let
me direct a film.
603
00:22:31,355 --> 00:22:33,490
They're going to let
me direct a big movie.
604
00:22:33,590 --> 00:22:34,491
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
605
00:22:34,591 --> 00:22:36,326
And so there's a
responsibility there.
606
00:22:36,427 --> 00:22:37,628
Is there a pressure?
607
00:22:37,728 --> 00:22:40,464
Do you ever feel the weight
of your own pressure?
608
00:22:40,564 --> 00:22:43,734
Because Get Out is one
of the greatest movies
609
00:22:43,834 --> 00:22:44,768
that has ever been made.
610
00:22:44,935 --> 00:22:46,537
From that moment
onwards, everyone
611
00:22:46,637 --> 00:22:50,207
is expecting you to create
the greatest movie ever made.
612
00:22:50,307 --> 00:22:51,575
There's always going
to be that pressure.
613
00:22:51,675 --> 00:22:52,643
There's always going
to be the criticism.
614
00:22:52,743 --> 00:22:53,944
There's always going
to be the critics.
615
00:22:54,044 --> 00:22:56,413
Do you feel that as well,
or do you find yourself just
616
00:22:56,513 --> 00:22:57,948
making what you want to make?
617
00:22:57,981 --> 00:23:00,217
Well, you know, a lot
of people hate Get Out.
618
00:23:00,317 --> 00:23:01,218
And there's a certain--
619
00:23:01,318 --> 00:23:02,219
TREVOR NOAH: Who
are these people?
620
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:03,220
Well, they're out there.
621
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,555
[laughter]
They are out there.
622
00:23:04,655 --> 00:23:05,622
TREVOR NOAH: Oh, wow, OK.
623
00:23:05,723 --> 00:23:09,693
I get-- I still get
hate from that era.
624
00:23:09,793 --> 00:23:11,495
I mean, there's a lot of
people that don't like
625
00:23:11,595 --> 00:23:15,232
the agency that it brought--
626
00:23:15,332 --> 00:23:16,233
Interesting.
627
00:23:16,333 --> 00:23:17,601
--me and other people.
628
00:23:17,701 --> 00:23:18,902
I truly feel that.
629
00:23:19,002 --> 00:23:22,005
And so, you know--
630
00:23:22,106 --> 00:23:23,574
and in Key and Peele as well.
631
00:23:23,674 --> 00:23:26,276
You realize people
are going to respond.
632
00:23:26,377 --> 00:23:28,912
But there's always going to
be people who don't respond,
633
00:23:29,012 --> 00:23:30,214
and that's OK.
634
00:23:30,314 --> 00:23:32,950
That's part of the adventure
of doing something risky,
635
00:23:33,050 --> 00:23:34,518
doing something
you're not supposed
636
00:23:34,618 --> 00:23:36,920
to do is that you're going
to be pissing people off.
637
00:23:36,954 --> 00:23:37,921
But that's OK.
638
00:23:38,021 --> 00:23:39,189
TREVOR NOAH: I wonder
if some people are
639
00:23:39,289 --> 00:23:40,924
pissed off at what you
illuminate in the stories
640
00:23:40,958 --> 00:23:42,059
that you tell.
641
00:23:42,159 --> 00:23:44,194
Because it's one thing
to create a horror movie.
642
00:23:44,294 --> 00:23:46,830
It's one thing to create
thrill and suspense.
643
00:23:46,930 --> 00:23:51,668
It's another thing to weave
into that story everything
644
00:23:51,769 --> 00:23:54,338
that we're experiencing
in real life, you know?
645
00:23:54,438 --> 00:23:55,939
There are themes of race.
646
00:23:56,006 --> 00:23:58,442
There are themes of gender.
647
00:23:58,542 --> 00:24:00,411
There are themes--
like, everything
648
00:24:00,511 --> 00:24:01,945
is encapsulated in a story.
649
00:24:02,012 --> 00:24:04,181
It's like you went and went,
what if there's racism,
650
00:24:04,281 --> 00:24:05,949
and what if there's
sexism, and what if there's
651
00:24:05,983 --> 00:24:07,284
also a monster, which seems--
652
00:24:07,384 --> 00:24:08,285
[laughter]
653
00:24:08,385 --> 00:24:09,286
You know?
654
00:24:09,386 --> 00:24:10,954
Which is very
much the real world.
655
00:24:11,055 --> 00:24:13,590
It's, once again, a
documentary, but no.
656
00:24:13,690 --> 00:24:17,661
I-- yeah, you know,
I mean, this one
657
00:24:17,761 --> 00:24:21,498
wanted to be about this idea
that was sort of forming
658
00:24:21,598 --> 00:24:23,167
in my head that
there's some people,
659
00:24:23,267 --> 00:24:25,169
there are some
things in this world
660
00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:27,137
that are these bad miracles.
661
00:24:27,237 --> 00:24:32,609
These are these things that
are so entertaining that we're
662
00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:34,244
blinded to the danger of them.
663
00:24:34,344 --> 00:24:35,579
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
664
00:24:35,679 --> 00:24:39,383
And so I wanted to make a
film about the human response
665
00:24:39,483 --> 00:24:41,919
to these things and
how we interact with it
666
00:24:42,019 --> 00:24:44,588
and how we will
chase it off a cliff.
667
00:24:44,688 --> 00:24:45,923
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
668
00:24:46,023 --> 00:24:47,091
You do that with
everything though.
669
00:24:47,191 --> 00:24:49,760
Because when they told
me you had a podcast,
670
00:24:49,927 --> 00:24:51,462
I thought you were going
to be interviewing people
671
00:24:51,562 --> 00:24:52,730
or there's going to
be a conversation.
672
00:24:52,830 --> 00:24:55,999
They're like, no, he
made a horror podcast.
673
00:24:56,100 --> 00:24:57,000
So--
674
00:24:57,101 --> 00:24:58,936
I was like, but
that's not possible.
675
00:24:59,036 --> 00:25:00,070
And then they send
it to me, and I
676
00:25:00,170 --> 00:25:02,840
was like, oh, this is
terrifying because I
677
00:25:02,940 --> 00:25:04,675
just have to use my ears.
678
00:25:04,775 --> 00:25:05,743
We actually have a clip.
679
00:25:05,843 --> 00:25:06,677
Here, we can play a
little bit for you.
680
00:25:06,777 --> 00:25:07,678
Just listen to it.
681
00:25:07,778 --> 00:25:08,645
Even close your
eyes if you want.
682
00:25:08,746 --> 00:25:09,680
Listen.
683
00:25:09,780 --> 00:25:11,315
OPERATOR: 911, what
is your emergency?
684
00:25:11,415 --> 00:25:14,151
RICK: I-- I-- I need to
report a-- an accident.
685
00:25:14,251 --> 00:25:15,953
This guy-- he's hurt his head.
686
00:25:16,053 --> 00:25:16,954
There's a lot of blood.
687
00:25:17,054 --> 00:25:18,288
OPERATOR: Is he
still breathing, sir?
688
00:25:18,389 --> 00:25:19,656
RICK: Uh, I'm not sure if he--
689
00:25:19,757 --> 00:25:20,791
[gasping]
690
00:25:20,891 --> 00:25:22,960
Yes, yes, he's definitely
still breathing.
691
00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:25,262
His head-- his head
looks like it's cracked.
692
00:25:25,362 --> 00:25:27,097
Jesus, there's
blood everywhere.
693
00:25:27,197 --> 00:25:29,133
OPERATOR: That's
what heads do, Rick.
694
00:25:29,233 --> 00:25:30,134
RICK: I'm sorry.
695
00:25:30,234 --> 00:25:31,135
What?
696
00:25:31,235 --> 00:25:33,437
OPERATOR: (CREEPY VOICE) Bleed.
697
00:25:33,537 --> 00:25:34,438
[distant creepy laugh]
698
00:25:34,538 --> 00:25:35,906
[phone tone]
699
00:25:35,973 --> 00:25:38,108
[applause]
700
00:25:38,208 --> 00:25:45,015
So think, important to say,
directed by Mimi O'Donnell,
701
00:25:45,115 --> 00:25:46,316
brilliantly directed.
702
00:25:46,417 --> 00:25:49,186
This was something all of
us at Monkeypaw Productions
703
00:25:49,286 --> 00:25:50,587
were very excited
about, like, trying
704
00:25:50,687 --> 00:25:53,690
to make the scariest
horror podcast of all time.
705
00:25:53,791 --> 00:25:54,692
And--
706
00:25:54,792 --> 00:25:55,926
TREVOR NOAH: Do you
know what people
707
00:25:55,993 --> 00:25:57,094
normally use podcasts for?
708
00:25:57,194 --> 00:25:58,362
[laughter]
709
00:25:58,462 --> 00:25:59,363
Are you familiar--
710
00:25:59,463 --> 00:26:00,364
It's sort of like
you're driving.
711
00:26:00,464 --> 00:26:01,565
You're on, like, a drive.
712
00:26:01,665 --> 00:26:04,535
You know, some people
play podcasts go to sleep.
713
00:26:04,635 --> 00:26:05,602
I've heard of this.
714
00:26:05,703 --> 00:26:07,071
And then this slides
into your playlist.
715
00:26:07,171 --> 00:26:08,672
You know, and
this is something
716
00:26:08,772 --> 00:26:11,742
we talk about in horror
all the time, which
717
00:26:11,875 --> 00:26:13,944
is this idea that it's
the things you don't
718
00:26:14,044 --> 00:26:15,245
see that are the scariest.
719
00:26:15,345 --> 00:26:16,714
TREVOR NOAH: It is
terrifying because you've
720
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,883
created this podcast that is
essentially-- it sounds real.
721
00:26:19,983 --> 00:26:23,687
It sounds like an actual
conspiracy theorist.
722
00:26:23,787 --> 00:26:27,057
And we're following him and his
journey of creating this radio
723
00:26:27,157 --> 00:26:29,893
show that sort of sets
in a pre-Trump world.
724
00:26:29,927 --> 00:26:32,162
And he's talking about
everything that's happening.
725
00:26:32,262 --> 00:26:33,664
He's digging into conspiracies.
726
00:26:33,764 --> 00:26:36,700
And it feels too real, Jordan.
727
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,603
And this is brilliant,
and Tracy Letts wonderfully
728
00:26:39,703 --> 00:26:41,472
plays this character.
729
00:26:41,572 --> 00:26:44,908
And this whole Faustian
thing, it ends up being--
730
00:26:45,008 --> 00:26:47,911
I'm not going to give
away what is going on.
731
00:26:47,978 --> 00:26:49,012
But then--
- Whatever it is.
732
00:26:49,113 --> 00:26:49,980
Yeah.
733
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,916
But there's
something of-- yeah.
734
00:26:53,016 --> 00:26:53,917
Because--
735
00:26:54,017 --> 00:26:54,918
Yeah.
736
00:26:55,018 --> 00:26:56,820
--as discussed, we need to--
737
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,357
but it's a story that needs
to be told in the sound medium
738
00:27:00,457 --> 00:27:05,496
because there is a sound
element to this parasite.
739
00:27:05,596 --> 00:27:08,866
And it's scary.
740
00:27:08,899 --> 00:27:10,134
I say this all the time.
741
00:27:10,234 --> 00:27:12,603
When you tell your stories--
and this is something that I
742
00:27:12,703 --> 00:27:15,105
feel you've always done--
whether it's in a sketch,
743
00:27:15,205 --> 00:27:17,708
whether it's in a movie,
and now even in a podcast,
744
00:27:17,875 --> 00:27:21,211
it feels like you are
commenting on the aspects
745
00:27:21,311 --> 00:27:24,348
of the world that we oftentimes
take for granted or ignore.
746
00:27:24,448 --> 00:27:26,750
Because they're almost
seamlessly happening to us.
747
00:27:26,884 --> 00:27:27,885
And you take them.
748
00:27:27,951 --> 00:27:29,086
You amplify them.
749
00:27:29,186 --> 00:27:31,155
And then it becomes a horror
we can't look away from.
750
00:27:31,255 --> 00:27:32,956
Like, why do you think
it's important for us
751
00:27:33,057 --> 00:27:35,359
to focus on those moments,
to focus on what's
752
00:27:35,459 --> 00:27:36,727
happening in real life?
753
00:27:36,894 --> 00:27:38,762
Well, it is.
754
00:27:38,896 --> 00:27:41,365
It's important for
us to pay attention
755
00:27:41,465 --> 00:27:44,168
to the real-life monsters.
756
00:27:44,268 --> 00:27:47,805
And I think it's important to--
757
00:27:47,905 --> 00:27:51,642
and it's important for
us to feel fear as it is.
758
00:27:51,742 --> 00:27:53,610
So much of this--
759
00:27:53,711 --> 00:27:56,513
so much of this
doomscrolling and stuff,
760
00:27:56,613 --> 00:28:00,184
it really is about us--
761
00:28:00,284 --> 00:28:02,352
the fact that fear
is something we bury.
762
00:28:02,453 --> 00:28:03,921
Fear is something
that we don't like.
763
00:28:04,021 --> 00:28:05,389
We don't like that feeling.
764
00:28:05,489 --> 00:28:09,026
We will convert it into
ang-- other things.
765
00:28:09,126 --> 00:28:10,027
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah, yeah.
766
00:28:10,127 --> 00:28:12,062
And so, anyway--
767
00:28:12,162 --> 00:28:13,564
TREVOR NOAH: And so it
numbs us as we scroll.
768
00:28:13,664 --> 00:28:14,665
Yeah.
- Yes.
769
00:28:14,765 --> 00:28:17,301
So-- yeah.
770
00:28:17,401 --> 00:28:19,470
[laughter]
771
00:28:19,570 --> 00:28:21,939
Did I answer-- did I answer
the question with that?
772
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:23,173
I--
773
00:28:23,273 --> 00:28:25,175
Well, can I just say,
I've loved everything
774
00:28:25,275 --> 00:28:26,176
that you've created.
775
00:28:26,276 --> 00:28:29,747
I enjoy how original
your art is.
776
00:28:29,847 --> 00:28:33,917
I also really appreciate
how you work with the talent
777
00:28:34,017 --> 00:28:34,918
that you work with.
778
00:28:35,018 --> 00:28:36,153
I mean, Keke Palmer--
779
00:28:36,253 --> 00:28:37,488
people have been
loving her forever.
780
00:28:37,588 --> 00:28:38,822
[cheering]
781
00:28:38,922 --> 00:28:41,425
To see her in the movie, to
see what you did with her--
782
00:28:41,525 --> 00:28:44,595
obviously, Daniel-- we've
loved him since forever.
783
00:28:44,695 --> 00:28:46,764
You don't just create a story.
784
00:28:46,864 --> 00:28:48,298
You also create stars.
785
00:28:48,399 --> 00:28:50,034
You also give people
an opportunity
786
00:28:50,134 --> 00:28:51,035
to shine on the screen.
787
00:28:51,135 --> 00:28:53,103
And I would love
to know what you
788
00:28:53,203 --> 00:28:56,273
look for in these performers
that you think will--
789
00:28:56,373 --> 00:28:57,775
I mean, as it
does-- successfully
790
00:28:57,875 --> 00:29:00,110
convey the feelings that you're
trying to get to the people?
791
00:29:00,210 --> 00:29:02,112
Well, you know, first
of all, I'm also--
792
00:29:02,212 --> 00:29:05,282
I'm trying to hitch my wagon
to these moving trains, right?
793
00:29:05,382 --> 00:29:07,451
I'm trying to find
people who are
794
00:29:07,551 --> 00:29:11,355
ready to do their
greatest role, you know,
795
00:29:11,455 --> 00:29:12,823
and in that perfect place.
796
00:29:12,923 --> 00:29:14,758
So I very much--
797
00:29:14,925 --> 00:29:17,661
I'm so thankful
that the Daniels
798
00:29:17,761 --> 00:29:20,664
and the Kekes of the world
will come out and do it.
799
00:29:20,764 --> 00:29:22,099
But I'm also
looking for somebody
800
00:29:22,199 --> 00:29:26,403
who is really smart
enough to take
801
00:29:26,503 --> 00:29:27,504
over the character for me.
802
00:29:27,604 --> 00:29:29,807
I do the work to build
this character up
803
00:29:29,940 --> 00:29:31,175
to a certain point.
804
00:29:31,275 --> 00:29:34,812
And then I need somebody to
come in and become the expert.
805
00:29:34,945 --> 00:29:37,848
So I can ask them,
how does Emerald feel?
806
00:29:37,948 --> 00:29:39,717
And she can answer
that question.
807
00:29:39,817 --> 00:29:41,285
We can kind of move from there.
808
00:29:41,385 --> 00:29:44,154
And so, you know, I
have the privilege
809
00:29:44,254 --> 00:29:46,623
of working with
people like Daniel
810
00:29:46,724 --> 00:29:50,294
and like Keke, who are just
the best actors in the world.
811
00:29:50,394 --> 00:29:51,829
And then we have the
privilege of enjoying
812
00:29:51,962 --> 00:29:53,230
everything that you
all create together,
813
00:29:53,330 --> 00:29:54,431
the privilege of
having on the show.
814
00:29:54,531 --> 00:29:55,432
Thank you, my friend.
815
00:29:55,532 --> 00:29:56,567
Absolute, absolute joy.
816
00:29:56,667 --> 00:29:58,502
Thank you again.
817
00:29:58,602 --> 00:30:00,070
Jordan Peele, everybody.
818
00:30:00,170 --> 00:30:01,205
We're going to
take a quick break.
819
00:30:01,305 --> 00:30:03,107
But we'll be right
back after this.
820
00:30:03,207 --> 00:30:06,577
[cheering]
821
00:30:10,447 --> 00:30:11,681
Well, that's our
show for tonight.
822
00:30:11,782 --> 00:30:12,783
Charlamagne is up next.
823
00:30:12,883 --> 00:30:14,985
Now here it is,
your moment of zen.
824
00:30:15,085 --> 00:30:17,254
Why did Dr. Oz lose?
825
00:30:17,354 --> 00:30:20,757
Well, it looks like,
according to the exit polling,
826
00:30:20,857 --> 00:30:23,627
it's because Fetterman won.
