00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:03,270
ANNOUNCER: Coming
to you from New
3
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:07,641
York City, the only city in
America, it's The Daily Show.
4
00:00:07,741 --> 00:00:12,045
Tonight, hanging
out with Mike Pence,
5
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:17,184
the world's oldest young
people, and Danai Gurira.
6
00:00:17,284 --> 00:00:21,088
This is The Daily
Show with Trevor Noah.
7
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:28,195
[cheering]
8
00:00:36,503 --> 00:00:38,338
What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to The Daily Show.
9
00:00:38,438 --> 00:00:39,306
I'm Trevor Noah.
10
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:40,774
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
11
00:00:40,874 --> 00:00:42,743
Thank you for coming
out in person.
12
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:44,211
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for coming.
13
00:00:44,311 --> 00:00:45,212
Thank you for coming.
14
00:00:45,312 --> 00:00:46,813
Thank you for
coming, everybody.
15
00:00:46,914 --> 00:00:48,182
We've got a great
show for you tonight.
16
00:00:48,282 --> 00:00:49,183
Take a seat.
17
00:00:49,283 --> 00:00:50,551
Let's get into this.
18
00:00:50,651 --> 00:00:53,187
America denies the
election deniers.
19
00:00:53,287 --> 00:00:56,790
Lewis Black exposes young
people who are secretly old.
20
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:59,026
And if you don't like
crowds, well, you might
21
00:00:59,126 --> 00:01:00,527
be living on the wrong planet.
22
00:01:00,627 --> 00:01:01,828
So let's do this, people.
23
00:01:01,929 --> 00:01:03,764
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
24
00:01:03,864 --> 00:01:06,667
[cheering]
25
00:01:06,767 --> 00:01:10,537
[music playing]
26
00:01:10,637 --> 00:01:12,773
All right, before we get
into the big stories,
27
00:01:12,873 --> 00:01:15,976
let's catch up on a few other
things going on in the world,
28
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:19,213
starting with Taylor Swift.
29
00:01:19,313 --> 00:01:22,716
This morning, tickets went
on sale for the singer's
30
00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:25,252
first tour in four years.
31
00:01:25,352 --> 00:01:29,756
And so many fans rushed
onto the Ticketmaster site
32
00:01:29,857 --> 00:01:33,293
that it immediately crashed.
33
00:01:33,393 --> 00:01:35,395
And no one could get tickets.
34
00:01:35,495 --> 00:01:37,197
Yeah, Ticketmaster
did Taylor Swift
35
00:01:37,297 --> 00:01:39,600
so wrong-- she's already put
out three albums about them.
36
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:40,868
[laughter]
37
00:01:40,968 --> 00:01:42,102
They're going to
learn their lesson.
38
00:01:42,169 --> 00:01:45,472
[applause]
39
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:50,611
And, look, I know everyone
thinks getting these tickets
40
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:53,247
is the most important
thing in the world,
41
00:01:53,347 --> 00:01:54,348
but it's really not.
42
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:55,349
All right?
43
00:01:55,449 --> 00:01:57,718
If you don't get
them, just relax.
44
00:01:57,818 --> 00:01:59,253
Log off, you know?
45
00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:01,922
Just give the site, like,
a chance to cool down
46
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:03,257
and repair itself.
47
00:02:03,357 --> 00:02:05,058
And then, you know,
don't bother--
48
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:06,860
[laughter]
49
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,061
You-- you just chill.
50
00:02:08,161 --> 00:02:09,897
Ah, all right, I got mine.
You can go back on.
51
00:02:10,063 --> 00:02:10,964
You can go back on.
52
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:12,065
You do whatever you want.
53
00:02:12,099 --> 00:02:15,502
[applause]
54
00:02:15,602 --> 00:02:18,372
In labor news,
Amazon is reportedly
55
00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:22,543
planning to lay off up to
10,000 employees this week.
56
00:02:22,643 --> 00:02:25,345
Yeah, the largest job cuts
in the company's history.
57
00:02:25,445 --> 00:02:27,080
And I don't even know
how this is possible.
58
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,382
Right?
59
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:32,085
Me and everyone I know buy
something on Amazon every day,
60
00:02:32,186 --> 00:02:34,087
and then returns it the next
day when we realize we didn't
61
00:02:34,121 --> 00:02:35,088
actually need it anymore.
62
00:02:35,122 --> 00:02:37,157
How are they not making money?
63
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:38,625
And I feel for all
the Amazon workers
64
00:02:38,725 --> 00:02:39,927
who are getting laid off.
65
00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:41,962
But the silver lining is
at least you can steal
66
00:02:42,095 --> 00:02:43,897
great shit on the way out.
67
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,832
Yeah, no, at most offices,
you can only take what, like,
68
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:46,834
a stapler.
69
00:02:46,934 --> 00:02:48,135
But if you get
fired from Amazon,
70
00:02:48,235 --> 00:02:50,971
you've got, like,
seven air fryers.
71
00:02:51,104 --> 00:02:52,406
Just walking out of
the warehouse like,
72
00:02:52,506 --> 00:02:57,211
my Prime Day came early!
73
00:02:57,311 --> 00:03:00,681
Oh, in international
news, Europe
74
00:03:00,781 --> 00:03:05,786
is on high alert tonight
after Russian missiles aimed
75
00:03:05,886 --> 00:03:10,390
at Ukraine hit Poland instead.
76
00:03:10,490 --> 00:03:16,597
Yeah, which apparently could
trigger a full NATO response.
77
00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:18,131
Honestly, like, why
do these world wars
78
00:03:18,232 --> 00:03:19,700
always got to start in Poland?
79
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,635
It's like the Waffle House
parking lot of Europe.
80
00:03:21,735 --> 00:03:23,570
[laughter]
81
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:25,172
And, look, I don't
want to scare anyone.
82
00:03:25,272 --> 00:03:27,341
I don't want to scare anyone.
83
00:03:27,441 --> 00:03:30,244
But this could be the
beginning of World War III.
84
00:03:30,344 --> 00:03:31,345
I don't want to
scare you though.
85
00:03:31,445 --> 00:03:33,247
I'm not saying it will be.
It could be.
86
00:03:33,347 --> 00:03:36,383
So, remember, this is a good
time to just, like, spend time
87
00:03:36,483 --> 00:03:38,685
with your family, you know?
88
00:03:38,785 --> 00:03:42,956
Put down your phones.
89
00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:45,092
And just spend some--
four more tickets!
90
00:03:45,125 --> 00:03:46,193
Yes, suckers!
91
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:47,995
[applause]
92
00:03:48,095 --> 00:03:51,865
I'm going to be the
front row by myself.
93
00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:53,200
All right.
94
00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:54,701
All right, let's move on to
some of the biggest stories
95
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:57,237
of the day, starting with
the latest on the midterms,
96
00:03:57,337 --> 00:04:00,541
which, yes, the votes are
somehow still being counted.
97
00:04:00,641 --> 00:04:03,143
I think election officials
are using their finger--
98
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:04,311
I don't know.
99
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:06,046
The point is we
need to be patient.
100
00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:07,781
But it's becoming
increasingly clear
101
00:04:07,881 --> 00:04:10,050
that the American people-- or
at least the half of them who
102
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:12,686
actually voted-- have
delivered a split decision,
103
00:04:12,786 --> 00:04:15,756
with Democrats taking the
Senate and Republicans all but
104
00:04:15,856 --> 00:04:18,158
certain to win control
of the House, which means
105
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:19,693
that in order for
America to succeed,
106
00:04:19,793 --> 00:04:23,397
Democrats and Republicans
will have to work together.
107
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:25,933
So America will not succeed.
108
00:04:26,066 --> 00:04:28,302
[laughter]
109
00:04:28,402 --> 00:04:32,840
[applause]
110
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:35,843
It's kind of a weird situation
for America to be in.
111
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:37,678
Having a split
Congress is like being
112
00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:42,382
raised by two parents who don't
see eye to eye on anything.
113
00:04:42,482 --> 00:04:45,085
Like, one parent wants you
to take ballet lessons.
114
00:04:45,152 --> 00:04:46,753
And the other parent
thinks ballet lessons
115
00:04:46,854 --> 00:04:50,390
are a communist plot
to turn you trans.
116
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:52,392
And neither parent wants you
to ask questions about who
117
00:04:52,492 --> 00:04:53,527
killed Jeffrey Epstein.
118
00:04:53,627 --> 00:04:56,797
But the midterms weren't
just about who runs DC.
119
00:04:56,897 --> 00:04:59,533
It turns out they were also
about who runs the states.
120
00:04:59,633 --> 00:05:02,236
And in Arizona, a
closely-watched governor's
121
00:05:02,336 --> 00:05:04,204
race has finally been called.
122
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:06,773
REPORTER: This morning,
another major symbolic defeat
123
00:05:06,874 --> 00:05:09,309
for former President Donald
Trump in the midterms,
124
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:12,446
Democrat Katie Hobbs narrowly
beating Republican Kari
125
00:05:12,546 --> 00:05:14,081
Lake for Arizona Governor.
126
00:05:14,181 --> 00:05:17,117
Lake had been one of Mr.
Trump's most prominent allies
127
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:19,753
in the midterms and one of
the staunchest supporters
128
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:22,055
of his false claims,
denying the results
129
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:23,524
of the 2020 election.
130
00:05:23,624 --> 00:05:26,059
Lake continuing to
question her own race's
131
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:28,495
results last night,
tweeting, "Arizonans
132
00:05:28,595 --> 00:05:30,597
know BS when they see it."
133
00:05:30,697 --> 00:05:32,799
Yes, apparently, they do.
134
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,067
Oh.
135
00:05:34,101 --> 00:05:35,068
They do.
136
00:05:35,102 --> 00:05:41,175
[cheering]
137
00:05:41,275 --> 00:05:43,944
But I guess in the least
surprising plot twist ever,
138
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:46,613
a woman who ran on a platform
of denying election results
139
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:49,082
is now denying her
election results.
140
00:05:49,116 --> 00:05:52,452
And, in a way, I bet she's
relieved that she lost.
141
00:05:52,553 --> 00:05:54,388
Yeah, because if
she won, then what?
142
00:05:54,488 --> 00:05:56,089
She would have had
to deny herself.
143
00:05:56,156 --> 00:05:59,259
It would have
shattered her reality.
144
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:01,528
It would be like TLC meeting
a scrub and liking him.
145
00:06:01,628 --> 00:06:03,030
[laughter]
146
00:06:03,063 --> 00:06:04,298
What?
147
00:06:04,398 --> 00:06:05,799
It turns out a scrub is a
guy who can get love from me?
148
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:07,067
What?
149
00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:08,068
You know what?
150
00:06:08,168 --> 00:06:10,537
I'm going to go chase
some waterfalls.
151
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:12,206
Anyway, this is a
lot for Kari Lake.
152
00:06:12,306 --> 00:06:14,741
So, please-- please,
let's give her some
153
00:06:14,842 --> 00:06:17,377
space as she goes
through the five
154
00:06:17,477 --> 00:06:20,247
stages of Republican grief--
155
00:06:20,347 --> 00:06:25,586
denial, denial, denial,
pooping in Nancy
156
00:06:25,686 --> 00:06:28,856
Pelosi's office, and denial.
157
00:06:28,956 --> 00:06:33,594
[applause]
158
00:06:33,694 --> 00:06:35,495
But, remember--
remember, the reason
159
00:06:35,596 --> 00:06:36,763
this result has
big implications
160
00:06:36,864 --> 00:06:38,398
is because with Kari losses--
161
00:06:38,498 --> 00:06:40,968
with Kari Lake's loss,
rather, every election denier
162
00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:42,903
running for governor
or secretary of state
163
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:46,106
in a swing state has
now lost their races,
164
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:49,476
which is huge for
democracy-- a huge victory.
165
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:52,212
[applause]
166
00:06:52,312 --> 00:06:53,247
You know?
167
00:06:53,347 --> 00:06:55,082
This is just like in
those horror films
168
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:56,583
where they kill the
monster, and then
169
00:06:56,683 --> 00:06:57,851
he never comes back again.
170
00:06:57,951 --> 00:06:59,887
You did it, Democrats!
171
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:01,121
Now leave the knife
on the counter
172
00:07:01,221 --> 00:07:03,023
and go take a sexy
shower upstairs.
173
00:07:03,056 --> 00:07:04,091
Yeah.
174
00:07:04,191 --> 00:07:05,158
But enough about the midterms.
175
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:06,426
Enough about that.
176
00:07:06,527 --> 00:07:08,195
The campaign is over, and
it's time for the parties
177
00:07:08,295 --> 00:07:09,596
to govern.
178
00:07:09,696 --> 00:07:10,564
I'm shitting you.
179
00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:12,366
That's not going to happen.
180
00:07:12,466 --> 00:07:13,500
It's actually time
for the parties
181
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,935
to campaign for
the next election.
182
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:16,503
I don't know why, but
America loves campaigning.
183
00:07:16,603 --> 00:07:17,871
It's like you
campaign to campaign,
184
00:07:18,038 --> 00:07:18,872
campaign to campaign.
185
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:20,240
It never ends.
186
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:22,843
It's like seeing someone who's
only interested in foreplay.
187
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:24,411
You like that?
You ready?
188
00:07:24,511 --> 00:07:25,646
Yeah?
189
00:07:25,746 --> 00:07:27,214
Well, let's put your clothes
back on and start again.
190
00:07:27,314 --> 00:07:28,549
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
191
00:07:28,649 --> 00:07:29,550
What's your name?
192
00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:32,553
Oh, yeah, let's do that again.
193
00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:34,588
Anyway, as everyone
prepares themselves
194
00:07:34,688 --> 00:07:36,490
for what the 2024 race
will be like with Trump,
195
00:07:36,590 --> 00:07:38,091
there's one party--
196
00:07:38,192 --> 00:07:40,894
there's one part that will
be different this time.
197
00:07:41,061 --> 00:07:43,130
And that is one of Trump's
biggest ass lickers
198
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:46,066
is going to be leaving
his ass very dry.
199
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:49,102
REPORTER: Nearly two years
after a mob of Donald Trump's
200
00:07:49,203 --> 00:07:51,071
supporters attacked
the Capitol,
201
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:53,941
disrupting the transfer
of power and chanting,
202
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:54,942
hang Mike Pence--
203
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:56,844
["hang mike pence" chant]
204
00:07:56,944 --> 00:07:58,612
--Trump's once
loyal vice president
205
00:07:58,712 --> 00:08:01,815
is finally telling his story
about what happened that day.
206
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:04,384
The president's
words were reckless.
207
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:08,222
And his actions were reckless.
208
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:10,691
The president's words
that day at the rally
209
00:08:10,791 --> 00:08:12,726
endangered me and my
family and everyone
210
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:14,061
at the Capitol building.
211
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:17,531
Given all that you witnessed
in the Capitol on that day,
212
00:08:17,631 --> 00:08:18,599
this is a pretty
straightforward
213
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:20,367
question, a yes or no.
214
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:22,102
Do you believe that
Donald Trump should
215
00:08:22,202 --> 00:08:23,403
ever be president again?
216
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:27,474
David, I think that's
up to the American people.
217
00:08:27,574 --> 00:08:30,577
But I think we'll have
better choices in the future.
218
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:32,346
Hell yeah.
219
00:08:32,446 --> 00:08:35,249
Good for Mike Pence,
telling Donald Trump,
220
00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:37,818
you almost got me
and my family killed,
221
00:08:37,918 --> 00:08:41,255
which is why I am now
prepared to say that it's
222
00:08:41,355 --> 00:08:43,423
possible there are
better alternatives
223
00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:45,492
to you in the next election.
224
00:08:45,592 --> 00:08:49,062
Although that decision will
be up to the American people.
225
00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:50,464
You tell him, Mike Pence!
226
00:08:50,564 --> 00:08:52,366
Ooh, you tell him.
227
00:08:52,466 --> 00:08:53,367
Woo!
228
00:08:53,467 --> 00:08:58,372
[applause]
229
00:08:58,472 --> 00:09:00,340
For real, though, man,
it's a simple question.
230
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,711
Do you support Trump or not?
231
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:08,048
I can't believe Mike Pence is
the one leaving us hanging.
232
00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:09,917
And I know-- I know why
he's doing this, right?
233
00:09:10,017 --> 00:09:11,051
I know why he's doing it.
234
00:09:11,151 --> 00:09:12,553
He doesn't want to go
too hard against Trump
235
00:09:12,653 --> 00:09:15,756
because he's still hoping
to win over Trump's voters
236
00:09:15,856 --> 00:09:19,593
if he runs for president,
which is so delusional.
237
00:09:19,693 --> 00:09:23,197
Trump's people were the
ones who wanted to kill him.
238
00:09:23,297 --> 00:09:24,831
[laughter]
239
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:26,366
The only reason they
would elect him president
240
00:09:26,466 --> 00:09:28,802
is so that they know for
sure where he lived why.
241
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:31,171
Would they vote for you?
242
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:32,306
And even if that
strategy works,
243
00:09:32,406 --> 00:09:33,841
it still makes him
a punk-ass bitch.
244
00:09:33,941 --> 00:09:35,275
[laughter]
245
00:09:35,375 --> 00:09:36,276
It does.
246
00:09:36,376 --> 00:09:37,845
[cheering]
247
00:09:37,945 --> 00:09:40,380
I'm sorry, but this--
248
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,516
this is not the type
of man you want leading
249
00:09:42,616 --> 00:09:44,651
the United States, all right?
250
00:09:44,751 --> 00:09:46,453
You can't even say
the thing out loud.
251
00:09:46,553 --> 00:09:48,255
If Pence was president,
forget China.
252
00:09:48,355 --> 00:09:49,857
Canada would be invading.
253
00:09:49,957 --> 00:09:51,525
Yeah, it's like,
oh, sorry, sorry.
254
00:09:51,625 --> 00:09:52,559
We going to take Oregon, eh?
255
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:53,594
Oh, it just seems so easy.
256
00:09:53,694 --> 00:09:56,830
Sorry, sorry, eh?
257
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,867
But let's move on to some
international news right now.
258
00:10:00,067 --> 00:10:01,568
If you're going
through a breakup,
259
00:10:01,668 --> 00:10:03,504
your friends might be
telling you that there
260
00:10:03,604 --> 00:10:04,805
are lots of people out there.
261
00:10:04,905 --> 00:10:06,039
And they're right.
262
00:10:06,139 --> 00:10:09,409
In fact, they're more right
today than ever before.
263
00:10:09,510 --> 00:10:12,579
The UN says there'll be a new
milestone in human development
264
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,215
as the world population is
expected to hit 8
265
00:10:15,315 --> 00:10:16,650
billion today.
266
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:18,952
The agency adds that
this unprecedented growth
267
00:10:19,052 --> 00:10:20,754
is due to improvements
in public health,
268
00:10:20,854 --> 00:10:24,124
medicine, and high levels of
fertility in some countries.
269
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:27,661
This is staggering when you
consider that 100 years ago,
270
00:10:27,761 --> 00:10:30,697
according to the UN, the
global population was 2 billion
271
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:31,698
or under.
272
00:10:31,798 --> 00:10:32,866
Now it's 8 billion.
273
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:36,537
Hell yeah, 8 billion
people, everybo--
274
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:39,940
8 billion people on Earth.
275
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,643
I didn't need the
UN to tell me this.
276
00:10:42,743 --> 00:10:44,278
I could already tell there
were 8 billion people
277
00:10:44,378 --> 00:10:45,479
because every
single one of them
278
00:10:45,579 --> 00:10:47,514
was ahead of me for Taylor
Swift tickets in line.
279
00:10:47,614 --> 00:10:49,950
[laughter]
280
00:10:50,050 --> 00:10:52,886
[applause]
281
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:55,055
And I'm proud.
282
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:58,125
I am proud of all of us people.
283
00:10:58,225 --> 00:11:00,194
Because say what you want
about the human race.
284
00:11:00,294 --> 00:11:01,595
But one thing is for sure.
285
00:11:01,695 --> 00:11:04,064
We're [bleep].
286
00:11:04,097 --> 00:11:08,335
Yeah, congratulations to
everyone for smashing.
287
00:11:08,435 --> 00:11:10,337
And, yes, some people are
working harder than others.
288
00:11:10,437 --> 00:11:12,072
But the rest of us
deserve some credit too.
289
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:17,444
[laughter]
290
00:11:17,544 --> 00:11:19,179
I kind of wish
that the UN didn't
291
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:22,850
even announce this because it
feels like bragging, you know?
292
00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:24,585
Yeah, like, I feel
like COVID is going
293
00:11:24,685 --> 00:11:27,087
to see that we hit a
new population milestone
294
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,856
and be like, well, I
saw them hit 8 billion,
295
00:11:28,956 --> 00:11:29,823
and I took that personal.
296
00:11:29,923 --> 00:11:31,091
I saw that.
297
00:11:31,158 --> 00:11:33,694
I was like, I might come back.
298
00:11:33,794 --> 00:11:36,096
And, by the way, I get
now why the United Nations
299
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:38,298
never actually does anything.
300
00:11:38,398 --> 00:11:40,834
Yeah, people are like, can you
maybe stop the war in Ukraine?
301
00:11:40,934 --> 00:11:43,237
And they're like, sorry,
we're kind of busy.
302
00:11:43,337 --> 00:11:49,176
7,200,000,001,
7,200,000,002, 7 billion--
303
00:11:49,276 --> 00:11:51,745
And a lot of people are
worried that 8 billion people
304
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:54,715
is too much and that
we need some way
305
00:11:54,815 --> 00:11:56,850
to control overpopulation.
306
00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:58,452
Although I find it
interesting that those people
307
00:11:58,552 --> 00:12:01,121
never think of themselves
as part of the problem.
308
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:02,489
Yeah, there's always
people who are like,
309
00:12:02,589 --> 00:12:03,624
Earth is too crowded.
310
00:12:03,724 --> 00:12:05,359
We got to get rid of
some of these people.
311
00:12:05,459 --> 00:12:07,127
You're like, how about you?
You're people.
312
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:08,262
No, not me.
313
00:12:08,362 --> 00:12:09,530
I meant like China
or something.
314
00:12:09,630 --> 00:12:10,531
Come on.
315
00:12:10,631 --> 00:12:11,832
What are you talking about?
316
00:12:11,932 --> 00:12:13,734
And, honestly, I don't
think it's a problem.
317
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:14,868
Yeah, I think it's a myth.
318
00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:16,770
I think we can handle
the Earth's population
319
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:18,872
if we just do a better job of
distributing its
320
00:12:18,972 --> 00:12:20,340
resources, right?
321
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,075
But-- but--
322
00:12:22,176 --> 00:12:24,344
[applause]
323
00:12:24,444 --> 00:12:28,315
If we are going to
reduce the population,
324
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:31,084
I think the smartest
way to do it is just
325
00:12:31,118 --> 00:12:33,253
to get rid of identical twins.
326
00:12:33,353 --> 00:12:34,721
No, because it's a waste.
327
00:12:34,821 --> 00:12:36,490
It's a complete waste, right?
328
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:39,893
We already have one of you.
329
00:12:39,993 --> 00:12:41,662
Yeah, it's like having two
copies of the same picture
330
00:12:41,762 --> 00:12:42,663
on your phone.
331
00:12:42,763 --> 00:12:43,964
Just delete one, easy.
332
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:44,965
And, please, wait.
333
00:12:45,098 --> 00:12:46,733
Don't-- don't twist my words.
334
00:12:46,834 --> 00:12:48,135
Don't get it twisted.
335
00:12:48,235 --> 00:12:50,504
I don't want to hear identical
twins being like, oh, Trevor,
336
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:53,207
are you saying you're
going to kill my brother?
337
00:12:53,307 --> 00:12:55,275
No, I'm not saying that.
338
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:56,610
I'm saying you have to.
339
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:59,479
[laughter]
340
00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:02,316
[applause]
341
00:13:02,416 --> 00:13:03,851
All right, that's it
for the headlines.
342
00:13:03,951 --> 00:13:05,619
But before we go
to a break, let's
343
00:13:05,719 --> 00:13:06,820
check in on the
weather with the one
344
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,722
and only Desi Lydic, everybody.
345
00:13:08,822 --> 00:13:14,061
[cheering]
346
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:18,232
Desi, good to have you back.
347
00:13:18,332 --> 00:13:22,336
Seasons are changing, so what's
the weather looking like?
348
00:13:22,436 --> 00:13:23,337
I don't know, Trevor.
349
00:13:23,437 --> 00:13:24,805
It's cold.
350
00:13:24,905 --> 00:13:25,806
It's cold outside.
351
00:13:25,906 --> 00:13:26,807
It's cold in here.
352
00:13:26,907 --> 00:13:28,075
You can't escape it.
353
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:29,610
Although your nipples
are trying to.
354
00:13:29,710 --> 00:13:31,845
I can see them
through your shirt.
355
00:13:31,945 --> 00:13:33,614
Desi, why would you
tell the people that?
356
00:13:33,714 --> 00:13:34,615
You know why?
357
00:13:34,715 --> 00:13:36,083
You know why, Trevor?
358
00:13:36,116 --> 00:13:38,118
Because it's the truth, OK?
359
00:13:38,218 --> 00:13:40,954
And if there's one thing that
we learned from the midterms,
360
00:13:41,088 --> 00:13:44,124
it's the power of
telling the truth.
361
00:13:44,224 --> 00:13:47,561
The candidates who lied about
the election-- they lost.
362
00:13:47,661 --> 00:13:50,230
And the ones who
told the truth won.
363
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:53,834
So from now on, I am addicted
to telling the truth--
364
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:58,272
and also shoplifting, which
I needed to say because I'm
365
00:13:58,372 --> 00:14:00,607
now telling the truth.
366
00:14:00,707 --> 00:14:02,609
Now I feel like I shouldn't
be wearing that watch that you
367
00:14:02,709 --> 00:14:03,777
got me for my birthday.
368
00:14:03,877 --> 00:14:04,778
Oh, no, no, don't worry.
369
00:14:04,878 --> 00:14:05,779
I didn't shoplift that.
370
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:07,548
I found it in Ronny's
dressing room.
371
00:14:07,648 --> 00:14:09,750
[laughter]
372
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:11,051
Here's another truth.
373
00:14:11,084 --> 00:14:14,188
Katie Hobbs's victory
wasn't just a win for truth.
374
00:14:14,288 --> 00:14:16,056
It was a win for women.
375
00:14:16,123 --> 00:14:19,826
Now there are a record
12 women governors
376
00:14:19,927 --> 00:14:21,395
serving at the same time.
377
00:14:21,495 --> 00:14:24,097
[cheering]
378
00:14:24,198 --> 00:14:25,132
12.
379
00:14:25,232 --> 00:14:26,133
TREVOR NOAH: That's amazing.
380
00:14:26,233 --> 00:14:29,736
12 out of 50--
381
00:14:29,837 --> 00:14:33,373
that's almost half of half.
382
00:14:33,473 --> 00:14:36,176
And only one of them almost
got kidnapped last year.
383
00:14:36,276 --> 00:14:37,578
We're doing it, ladies!
384
00:14:37,678 --> 00:14:39,446
[cheering]
385
00:14:39,546 --> 00:14:41,315
Yeah.
386
00:14:41,415 --> 00:14:44,618
Yeah, hopefully, what
happened in Arizona leads
387
00:14:44,718 --> 00:14:46,520
to more politicians
telling the truth.
388
00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:47,754
Yeah, exactly.
389
00:14:47,855 --> 00:14:49,823
I mean, we even saw Mike Pence
coming around to the
390
00:14:49,923 --> 00:14:51,191
truth today.
391
00:14:51,291 --> 00:14:54,361
I mean, he won't admit that
his body is 70% mayonnaise yet.
392
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:57,531
But he did come out and
say that he doesn't like
393
00:14:57,631 --> 00:15:00,467
when people try to hang him.
394
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:04,104
So brave of him to speak his
truth while promoting a book,
395
00:15:04,204 --> 00:15:05,739
you know?
396
00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:07,107
This just goes to
show that people
397
00:15:07,207 --> 00:15:08,709
need to stand up
to their bullies
398
00:15:08,809 --> 00:15:11,078
and tell them the truth.
399
00:15:11,178 --> 00:15:15,716
Speaking of which, Trevor, you
got anything you want to say
400
00:15:15,816 --> 00:15:17,050
to me, you little bitch?
401
00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:18,619
[laughter]
402
00:15:18,719 --> 00:15:19,753
No-- no, ma'am.
DESI LYDIC: Huh?
403
00:15:19,853 --> 00:15:20,754
No.
404
00:15:20,854 --> 00:15:21,922
DESI LYDIC: No?
- No.
405
00:15:22,055 --> 00:15:23,257
- No?
- My underwear's still torn.
406
00:15:23,357 --> 00:15:24,258
No.
407
00:15:24,358 --> 00:15:26,059
[laughter]
408
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:27,561
That's what I
[bleep] thought.
409
00:15:27,661 --> 00:15:29,062
That's what I [bleep] thought.
410
00:15:29,162 --> 00:15:30,063
Look--
411
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:32,199
[laughter]
412
00:15:32,299 --> 00:15:34,768
My buddy, I'm the bully here.
413
00:15:34,868 --> 00:15:36,136
I laugh at you.
414
00:15:36,236 --> 00:15:37,404
I'm sorry.
415
00:15:37,504 --> 00:15:40,440
Look, I-- I just want to
say, as long as we're telling
416
00:15:40,541 --> 00:15:43,510
the truth, I'm going to tell
one of the hardest truths
417
00:15:43,610 --> 00:15:46,113
of all right here
on the air tonight
418
00:15:46,213 --> 00:15:48,949
in front of 8 billion people.
419
00:15:49,082 --> 00:15:51,451
I assume they all watch.
420
00:15:51,552 --> 00:15:57,824
Trevor, I don't know
how to do the weather.
421
00:15:57,925 --> 00:15:58,825
I don't.
422
00:15:58,926 --> 00:16:00,027
I really don't.
423
00:16:00,127 --> 00:16:01,895
[applause]
424
00:16:02,029 --> 00:16:03,030
Thank you.
425
00:16:03,096 --> 00:16:04,031
They get it.
426
00:16:04,064 --> 00:16:06,800
Thank you.
427
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:09,536
I don't know what a
low-pressure system is.
428
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:12,072
I don't know how
tornadoes work.
429
00:16:12,172 --> 00:16:13,774
What even is a windchill?
430
00:16:13,874 --> 00:16:16,743
Does it make us cold, or
is it the wind that's cold?
431
00:16:16,844 --> 00:16:18,912
I don't know.
432
00:16:19,046 --> 00:16:24,284
Well, as long as we're
all telling truths, Desi,
433
00:16:24,384 --> 00:16:27,454
we all knew you
couldn't do the weather.
434
00:16:27,554 --> 00:16:29,690
[laughter]
435
00:16:29,790 --> 00:16:31,058
What did you
say to me, bitch?
436
00:16:31,158 --> 00:16:32,059
Nothing, nothing.
437
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:33,060
Desi Lydic, everyone.
438
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,161
Thank you for the
weather, Desi.
439
00:16:34,261 --> 00:16:35,395
Thank you so much.
440
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:36,396
Fantastic weather.
441
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:37,497
I appreciate you so much.
442
00:16:37,598 --> 00:16:39,199
All right, when we
come back, Lewis Black
443
00:16:39,299 --> 00:16:41,535
is going to expose young people
who are faking being old.
444
00:16:41,635 --> 00:16:42,536
So don't go away.
445
00:16:42,636 --> 00:16:45,973
[cheering]
446
00:16:57,994 --> 00:16:58,895
[applause]
447
00:16:58,995 --> 00:17:01,798
[cheering]
448
00:17:01,898 --> 00:17:03,933
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
449
00:17:04,033 --> 00:17:06,402
When a news story falls
through the cracks,
450
00:17:06,502 --> 00:17:13,509
Lewis Black catches it for a
segment we call Back in Black.
451
00:17:18,314 --> 00:17:20,750
As a man in the
entertainment industry,
452
00:17:20,850 --> 00:17:23,753
I do everything I can
to cling to youth,
453
00:17:23,853 --> 00:17:26,689
like a 60-year-old
Tom Cruise clinging
454
00:17:26,789 --> 00:17:29,525
to the side of a helicopter.
455
00:17:29,625 --> 00:17:33,496
Oh, and don't tell the casting
people at Eurphoria that I'm
456
00:17:33,596 --> 00:17:36,466
not actually in my early 20s.
457
00:17:36,566 --> 00:17:40,903
I'm up for a juicy role as
Zendaya's little brother.
458
00:17:41,004 --> 00:17:43,573
Wish me luck.
459
00:17:43,673 --> 00:17:46,109
But lately I've been
noticing a new trend.
460
00:17:46,209 --> 00:17:49,846
Young people are starting
to act like older people.
461
00:17:49,946 --> 00:17:52,148
It's subtle, but
once you notice it,
462
00:17:52,248 --> 00:17:55,018
you start seeing it
everywhere, especially
463
00:17:55,118 --> 00:17:57,787
if you're at dinner at 4 PM.
464
00:17:57,887 --> 00:18:01,290
It's the early bird
special for young folks.
465
00:18:01,391 --> 00:18:04,627
The elderly have long been the
butt of jokes about early bird
466
00:18:04,727 --> 00:18:07,964
dining, but now, a younger
generation is embracing
467
00:18:08,064 --> 00:18:09,499
the early bird special.
468
00:18:09,599 --> 00:18:12,235
The busier times used
to start at 8:00 PM,
469
00:18:12,335 --> 00:18:15,304
but nowadays it definitely
starts on the earlier side.
470
00:18:15,405 --> 00:18:17,106
A pizza joint
in lower Manhattan
471
00:18:17,206 --> 00:18:20,376
is also booking tables
earlier and earlier.
472
00:18:20,476 --> 00:18:23,413
Just look at all these
early bird reservations.
473
00:18:23,513 --> 00:18:26,282
With so many people working
from home during the pandemic,
474
00:18:26,382 --> 00:18:28,618
employees are eager to
get out of their homes
475
00:18:28,718 --> 00:18:31,821
as soon as the workday
ends, which is definitely
476
00:18:31,921 --> 00:18:34,057
contributing to the shift.
477
00:18:34,157 --> 00:18:36,659
Are you shitting me?
478
00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:41,431
Young people stealing all
the early bird reservations?
479
00:18:41,531 --> 00:18:43,800
Seniors need those spots.
480
00:18:43,933 --> 00:18:48,304
They have to be in bed by
7:30 or else all their organs
481
00:18:48,404 --> 00:18:52,075
slide into their ankles.
482
00:18:52,175 --> 00:18:53,676
This has to end though.
483
00:18:53,776 --> 00:18:57,780
Old people eating early is
part of the social contract.
484
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,883
Old people get the
early restaurant spots,
485
00:19:00,983 --> 00:19:03,486
and in exchange,
young people get
486
00:19:03,586 --> 00:19:07,690
to not watch old people eat.
487
00:19:07,790 --> 00:19:09,359
It's about privacy!
488
00:19:09,459 --> 00:19:11,527
Old people don't walk
into your bedroom
489
00:19:11,627 --> 00:19:15,365
and watch you have
energetic, robust sex.
490
00:19:15,465 --> 00:19:18,201
They watch through the
window, because they
491
00:19:18,301 --> 00:19:22,038
respect boundaries.
492
00:19:22,138 --> 00:19:24,107
And it's one thing
for young people
493
00:19:24,207 --> 00:19:27,543
to claim seniors
restaurant reservations,
494
00:19:27,643 --> 00:19:31,180
but now they're claiming
something even more sacred.
495
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,583
The discounts.
496
00:19:33,683 --> 00:19:35,918
One surprising trend
now among young people,
497
00:19:35,952 --> 00:19:38,921
signing up for
benefits from the AARP.
498
00:19:38,955 --> 00:19:41,658
The Wall Street Journal finding
20-somethings as new card
499
00:19:41,758 --> 00:19:44,027
carriers in an effort
to snag discounts
500
00:19:44,127 --> 00:19:46,195
amid inflation,
showing it's not just
501
00:19:46,295 --> 00:19:48,064
for the 50 and older crowd.
502
00:19:48,164 --> 00:19:51,768
In my head it was always
something for senior citizens.
503
00:19:51,934 --> 00:19:54,337
28-year-old Marissa Schwartz
says she learned a lot about
504
00:19:54,437 --> 00:19:57,273
AARP benefits through
TikTok, and couldn't help
505
00:19:57,373 --> 00:19:58,641
but join in on the savings.
506
00:19:58,741 --> 00:20:00,176
Contrary to
popular belief, you
507
00:20:00,276 --> 00:20:02,745
can be any age to join AARP.
508
00:20:02,879 --> 00:20:05,948
The benefits are awesome.
509
00:20:06,049 --> 00:20:09,152
Back the [bleep] off!
510
00:20:09,252 --> 00:20:16,259
Old people earn those
AARP memberships!
511
00:20:18,194 --> 00:20:24,901
Those AARP memberships fair
and square by not dying.
512
00:20:24,967 --> 00:20:27,637
And a bad economy is no excuse.
513
00:20:27,737 --> 00:20:31,074
Did I horn in on a
senior citizen discount
514
00:20:31,174 --> 00:20:32,909
to get me through
the Great Depression?
515
00:20:32,975 --> 00:20:34,110
No!
516
00:20:34,210 --> 00:20:36,979
Because I wasn't alive
during the Great Depression,
517
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,214
you assholes.
518
00:20:38,314 --> 00:20:41,451
How old do you think I am?
519
00:20:41,551 --> 00:20:45,755
You're going to blow
my shot at Euphoria!
520
00:20:45,922 --> 00:20:49,993
I just hope these underage
AARP members don't find out
521
00:20:50,093 --> 00:20:52,695
the secret perks of the card.
522
00:20:52,862 --> 00:20:57,967
I don't want to brag, but I
can shoplift as much as I want.
523
00:20:58,067 --> 00:21:00,169
And if I get caught,
I flash this,
524
00:21:00,269 --> 00:21:04,741
and they assume I'm just
senile and let me go.
525
00:21:04,874 --> 00:21:10,980
[laughs]
526
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,516
You thought I was
a deranged man,
527
00:21:13,616 --> 00:21:18,788
but now I've got a free giant
bag of birdseed, suckers!
528
00:21:18,888 --> 00:21:21,357
I don't even have a bird!
529
00:21:21,457 --> 00:21:23,893
All that seed is for me.
530
00:21:23,926 --> 00:21:30,633
Who's the deranged man now?
531
00:21:30,733 --> 00:21:34,070
But I get it, I get it, it's
fun to eat early and get
532
00:21:34,170 --> 00:21:36,139
discounts on catheters.
533
00:21:36,239 --> 00:21:39,342
But there's one,
there's one aspect
534
00:21:39,442 --> 00:21:42,011
of elder culture that
the youth might want
535
00:21:42,111 --> 00:21:44,647
to avoid, getting scammed.
536
00:21:44,747 --> 00:21:47,316
From TikTok to
Instagram, teens are being
537
00:21:47,417 --> 00:21:49,052
victimized on everyday apps.
538
00:21:49,152 --> 00:21:51,554
In fact, a new study
finds some tech savvy
539
00:21:51,654 --> 00:21:54,257
Gen Zers are falling
for online scams
540
00:21:54,357 --> 00:21:56,125
at a higher rate than
their grandparents.
541
00:21:56,225 --> 00:21:58,361
A study from Social
Catfish shows
542
00:21:58,461 --> 00:22:00,296
the top scams
targeting teens are
543
00:22:00,396 --> 00:22:02,598
sextortion plots against boys.
544
00:22:02,699 --> 00:22:05,435
The FBI says scammers
pose as attractive women
545
00:22:05,535 --> 00:22:08,471
on social media and send
nude photos to the victim,
546
00:22:08,571 --> 00:22:10,940
demanding they do the
same and send them money.
547
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,109
Talent scout scams
are on the rise too.
548
00:22:13,209 --> 00:22:17,313
Users on Instagram and TikTok
receive DMs offering modeling
549
00:22:17,413 --> 00:22:18,881
and acting opportunities.
550
00:22:18,915 --> 00:22:21,117
Scammers then ask
for a fee to apply,
551
00:22:21,217 --> 00:22:23,386
but of course, there's
no talent job in sight.
552
00:22:23,486 --> 00:22:25,888
Another common scam is
student loan forgiveness.
553
00:22:25,988 --> 00:22:27,890
Scammers are
creating fake student
554
00:22:27,991 --> 00:22:29,993
loan websites, tricking
people into providing
555
00:22:30,093 --> 00:22:31,327
their bank info.
556
00:22:31,427 --> 00:22:33,329
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
557
00:22:33,429 --> 00:22:40,136
Who's bad at technology now,
you pimply little [bleep]??
558
00:22:41,437 --> 00:22:45,708
But look, if the guy who was
only recently a teen boy,
559
00:22:45,808 --> 00:22:48,678
a wink, I sympathize.
560
00:22:48,778 --> 00:22:51,247
If I had TikTok in
my youth, my brain
561
00:22:51,347 --> 00:22:55,151
would also be a gullible
bowl of horny porridge.
562
00:22:55,251 --> 00:22:58,488
But still, I'm worried about
where this acting older
563
00:22:58,588 --> 00:22:59,489
trend could go.
564
00:22:59,589 --> 00:23:00,857
I mean, what's next?
565
00:23:00,923 --> 00:23:04,394
Stealing all the best rooms
at the retirement community?
566
00:23:04,494 --> 00:23:06,329
Overcrowded bingo halls?
567
00:23:06,429 --> 00:23:11,000
Quitting your steady job behind
a desk before you're even 40?
568
00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:13,870
Can you even imagine
something, doing
569
00:23:13,970 --> 00:23:19,108
something that crazy, Trevor?
570
00:23:19,208 --> 00:23:23,880
[applause]
571
00:23:23,980 --> 00:23:27,617
Anyway, here's something I
came up with that'll help
572
00:23:27,717 --> 00:23:29,686
the kids from getting screwed.
573
00:23:29,786 --> 00:23:31,554
Take a look.
574
00:23:31,654 --> 00:23:33,389
Hi, I'm Lewis Black.
575
00:23:33,489 --> 00:23:36,659
Are you an overconfident
Gen Zer who thinks you're
576
00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:38,061
immune from getting took?
577
00:23:38,161 --> 00:23:41,764
Then you need Lewis
Black's ScamSeeker.
578
00:23:41,898 --> 00:23:44,300
ScamSeeker.
579
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,602
Oh, that's obviously a scam.
580
00:23:46,703 --> 00:23:49,906
Look at her, now look at you.
581
00:23:49,939 --> 00:23:51,074
Not happening.
582
00:23:51,174 --> 00:23:53,643
Danger is everywhere
online, and nobody's
583
00:23:53,743 --> 00:23:55,078
told you that life sucks.
584
00:23:55,178 --> 00:23:57,080
Good things don't just
fall into your lap,
585
00:23:57,180 --> 00:23:59,549
and nothing ever works
out for the best.
586
00:23:59,649 --> 00:24:02,051
This site will forgive my
student loans if I just fill
587
00:24:02,151 --> 00:24:03,419
out my Social Security number.
588
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:04,554
Scam!
589
00:24:04,654 --> 00:24:07,190
You'll be paying those
loans off until death.
590
00:24:07,290 --> 00:24:09,058
Read a newspaper!
591
00:24:09,158 --> 00:24:11,627
What's a newspaper?
592
00:24:11,728 --> 00:24:13,997
Look, today's youth
need a reality check.
593
00:24:14,097 --> 00:24:15,665
Years of self
esteem building is
594
00:24:15,765 --> 00:24:18,368
resulting in dangerous
levels of gullibility.
595
00:24:18,468 --> 00:24:21,104
Wow, for 50 bucks I can
audition for Riverdale.
596
00:24:21,204 --> 00:24:22,405
That's a scam.
597
00:24:22,505 --> 00:24:25,708
You got no talent, you got
no charisma, you're a hack.
598
00:24:25,875 --> 00:24:26,709
Thanks, Lewis.
599
00:24:26,876 --> 00:24:28,077
Shut up!
600
00:24:28,177 --> 00:24:31,381
So sign up for Lewis
Black's ScamSeeker today.
601

602
00:24:32,648 --> 00:24:34,751
So do I just give you
my credit card number?
603
00:24:34,884 --> 00:24:35,785
You know what?
604
00:24:35,885 --> 00:24:37,186
Let me just take that card.
605
00:24:37,286 --> 00:24:43,693
You can trust me,
and so can you.
606
00:24:43,793 --> 00:24:44,894
Lewis Black, everybody.
607
00:24:44,961 --> 00:24:46,896
All right, stay tuned,
because when we come back,
608
00:24:46,963 --> 00:24:48,231
the baddest
bodyguard in Wakanda,
609
00:24:48,331 --> 00:24:50,266
Danai Gurira will be
joining on the show.
610
00:24:50,366 --> 00:24:52,101
You don't want to miss it.
611
00:24:52,201 --> 00:24:55,138
Keep it going for
Lewis, everybody!
612
00:25:00,393 --> 00:25:00,794
[applause]
613
00:25:00,894 --> 00:25:05,632
[cheering]
614
00:25:05,732 --> 00:25:07,801
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
615
00:25:07,901 --> 00:25:10,170
My guest tonight is
an award-winning actor
616
00:25:10,270 --> 00:25:12,305
and Tony-nominated
playwright who
617
00:25:12,405 --> 00:25:15,241
is currently starring in
Black Panther Wakanda Forever.
618
00:25:15,341 --> 00:25:16,242
[grunting]
619
00:25:16,342 --> 00:25:20,580
Oh!
620
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,581
Oh.
621
00:25:21,681 --> 00:25:23,249
You brought a spear in here!
622
00:25:23,349 --> 00:25:26,219
You brought a spear in here.
623
00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:27,787
I like it.
624
00:25:27,887 --> 00:25:30,056
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, put it down, put it,
625
00:25:30,156 --> 00:25:31,257
you'll hurt yourself.
626
00:25:31,357 --> 00:25:32,358
Come on.
627
00:25:32,459 --> 00:25:34,127
It's all right, princess.
628
00:25:34,227 --> 00:25:39,766
Small, small, girl, I am
going to give you two options.
629
00:25:39,866 --> 00:25:44,904
You can come to Wakanda
conscious or unconscious.
630
00:25:45,004 --> 00:25:47,874
You need to be conscious
of the way that you look.
631
00:25:47,974 --> 00:25:51,678
Walking around here all
the ash on your head.
632
00:25:51,778 --> 00:25:52,679
Oh, it's funny.
633
00:25:52,779 --> 00:25:54,047
No, it's not.
634
00:25:54,147 --> 00:25:55,515
Mm-hmm, I told you!
635
00:25:55,615 --> 00:25:57,083
You look good.
636
00:25:57,183 --> 00:25:58,818
Please welcome Danai Gurira.
637
00:25:58,918 --> 00:25:59,819
[applause]
638
00:25:59,986 --> 00:26:06,893
[cheering]
639
00:26:07,894 --> 00:26:09,262
Hey, everybody.
640
00:26:09,362 --> 00:26:12,265
Thank you.
641
00:26:12,365 --> 00:26:17,270
So good to be here.
642
00:26:17,370 --> 00:26:19,539
Danai Gurira, welcome
back to The Daily Show.
643
00:26:19,639 --> 00:26:21,141
Thank you, it's
amazing to be back.
644
00:26:21,241 --> 00:26:23,176
It is amazing
to have you here,
645
00:26:23,276 --> 00:26:27,413
especially on the heels of
yet again, one of the most
646
00:26:27,514 --> 00:26:29,249
successful films to come out.
647
00:26:29,349 --> 00:26:31,451
The last I checked, Black
Panther had grossed I think it
648
00:26:31,551 --> 00:26:34,220
was like $330 or $340 million.
649
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,022
Everybody is loving the movie.
650
00:26:36,122 --> 00:26:37,423
People are loving
you in the movie.
651
00:26:37,524 --> 00:26:38,792
I just watched it
a few days ago,
652
00:26:38,892 --> 00:26:41,494
and I know I'm biased because
you're sitting here with me,
653
00:26:41,594 --> 00:26:44,731
but I think you had some of
the funniest lines in the film.
654
00:26:44,831 --> 00:26:46,800
I also think you had
some of the baddest,
655
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:49,636
like amazing fight
scenes and choreography.
656
00:26:49,736 --> 00:26:50,637
How does it feel?
657
00:26:50,737 --> 00:26:52,372
Because this was
such a long project.
658
00:26:52,472 --> 00:26:53,873
There were so many
ups and downs.
659
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,308
There was a pandemic.
660
00:26:55,408 --> 00:26:57,444
There was the unfortunate
loss of Chadwick.
661
00:26:57,544 --> 00:27:00,814
Everything came together
to create this moment.
662
00:27:00,980 --> 00:27:03,483
Have you taken a moment
to process it all?
663
00:27:03,583 --> 00:27:04,484
Thank you.
664
00:27:04,584 --> 00:27:05,785
Not yet, not yet.
665
00:27:05,885 --> 00:27:09,389
I'm getting there, but it
has been an amazing journey
666
00:27:09,489 --> 00:27:11,724
and a tremendous one
and a painful one
667
00:27:11,825 --> 00:27:15,128
and an intense one, starting
from the beginning when
668
00:27:15,228 --> 00:27:18,798
we tragically lost our brother
and our king, our
669
00:27:18,898 --> 00:27:20,300
leader, Chadwick.
670
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,702
So really, coming back was
all about honoring him.
671
00:27:22,802 --> 00:27:25,839
So really it was, like
Ryan always mentions,
672
00:27:26,005 --> 00:27:29,242
a line my character says,
which is, I gave everything.
673
00:27:29,342 --> 00:27:31,711
Like that basically we
came back with that,
674
00:27:31,811 --> 00:27:34,180
like it was just about
giving all we had to this,
675
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,515
and honoring him.
676
00:27:35,615 --> 00:27:38,017
And so to have it
come to a place
677
00:27:38,051 --> 00:27:39,552
where people are
enjoying it this much
678
00:27:39,652 --> 00:27:43,022
and responding to it this
well, I mean, it just feels,
679
00:27:43,056 --> 00:27:45,125
it feels very full
circle in the sense
680
00:27:45,225 --> 00:27:48,027
that the goal was to honor him
and the way Ryan beautifully
681
00:27:48,128 --> 00:27:50,630
arced it to be
something that honored
682
00:27:50,730 --> 00:27:53,199
him, which involves
I think something
683
00:27:53,299 --> 00:27:55,068
that I think he would
love, which is that it
684
00:27:55,168 --> 00:27:56,469
is a full experience as well.
685
00:27:56,569 --> 00:27:57,771
It really is.
686
00:27:57,871 --> 00:27:58,838
As we walk through our grief
with it at the same time.
687
00:27:58,938 --> 00:27:59,839
It really is.
688
00:27:59,973 --> 00:28:02,976
I notice people
crying in the cinema.
689
00:28:03,042 --> 00:28:04,177
Obviously, people
were cheering,
690
00:28:04,277 --> 00:28:05,378
people were laughing.
691
00:28:05,478 --> 00:28:07,547
But it reminds you of what
you want movies to be,
692
00:28:07,647 --> 00:28:08,548
an experience.
693
00:28:08,648 --> 00:28:11,584
And it was an
authentic experience.
694
00:28:11,684 --> 00:28:16,022
I enjoyed seeing how
both the audience,
695
00:28:16,122 --> 00:28:19,993
and then I felt like the cost
had an experience of catharsis
696
00:28:20,026 --> 00:28:22,295
that everyone got to say
goodbye in a different way.
697
00:28:22,395 --> 00:28:24,097
Everyone got to
go through that.
698
00:28:24,197 --> 00:28:26,800
When you look at this
journey and where it's come,
699
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:28,701
look at how Black
Panther has reshaped
700
00:28:28,802 --> 00:28:29,903
how we see superheroes.
701
00:28:30,003 --> 00:28:31,504
People have talked
about how diversity has
702
00:28:31,604 --> 00:28:33,473
never been the same on screen.
703
00:28:33,573 --> 00:28:37,076
This is the first
woman Black-led film
704
00:28:37,177 --> 00:28:38,578
that Marvel has ever put out.
705
00:28:38,678 --> 00:28:39,646
And it's crushing it.
706
00:28:39,746 --> 00:28:41,214
People are loving it.
707
00:28:41,314 --> 00:28:43,216
It's huge, it's momentous.
708
00:28:43,316 --> 00:28:45,084
Yeah, I mean, that just
means so much to hear,
709
00:28:45,185 --> 00:28:47,187
because I mean, it is really
something that I grew up,
710
00:28:47,287 --> 00:28:49,122
the other big thing is
that it's also African.
711
00:28:49,222 --> 00:28:50,256
Yeah.
712
00:28:50,356 --> 00:28:52,859
And like I grew up next
door to you in Zimbabwe
713
00:28:53,026 --> 00:28:55,395
and I hope was not too
painful to the ear, our Xhosa,
714
00:28:55,495 --> 00:28:57,397
but we're trying,
we're working on it.
715
00:28:57,497 --> 00:28:58,598
No, I appreciate it.
716
00:28:58,698 --> 00:29:00,600
I always laugh with, Ryan
Coogler is the director,
717
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:03,770
I say like, you chose one
of the hardest languages
718
00:29:03,870 --> 00:29:05,472
to just like, Xhosa,
it's like, first of all,
719
00:29:05,572 --> 00:29:07,173
it's an African language,
but it's like, what if we
720
00:29:07,273 --> 00:29:08,374
added clicks into it as well.
721
00:29:08,475 --> 00:29:09,375
I know.
722
00:29:09,476 --> 00:29:10,677
And I think the
Xhosa's really well,
723
00:29:10,777 --> 00:29:14,414
not just with the Xhosa,
but I mean, you've got some,
724
00:29:14,514 --> 00:29:17,083
like you could take
Mayan in the movie,
725
00:29:17,183 --> 00:29:18,151
and that's what makes it.
726
00:29:18,251 --> 00:29:19,986
I'm not going to spoil
the plot for anyone.
727
00:29:20,086 --> 00:29:21,621
So if there's gaps, I'm
doing that on purpose.
728
00:29:21,721 --> 00:29:23,890
But you have a
movie that now isn't
729
00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:27,794
just talking about the African
diaspora around the world.
730
00:29:27,894 --> 00:29:31,131
You're also in this
conversation about where
731
00:29:31,231 --> 00:29:33,533
we've come from as
peoples in South
732
00:29:33,633 --> 00:29:35,235
America and Central America.
733
00:29:35,335 --> 00:29:38,271
And it's all coming together
in a really gripping way.
734
00:29:38,371 --> 00:29:40,039
Well, the beauty of
it is like that aspect
735
00:29:40,140 --> 00:29:41,341
of that shared conversation.
736
00:29:41,441 --> 00:29:42,709
Yes.
737
00:29:42,809 --> 00:29:44,477
That Africa could have with
that part of the world, which
738
00:29:44,577 --> 00:29:47,046
is, we were both, we both went
through a lot of imperialism.
739
00:29:47,147 --> 00:29:48,381
We both went through
colonization.
740
00:29:48,481 --> 00:29:49,382
Yeah.
741
00:29:49,482 --> 00:29:50,784
We both lost,
Indigenous cultures
742
00:29:50,884 --> 00:29:54,387
lost a lot through that
very wretched process.
743
00:29:54,487 --> 00:29:55,555
Right, right.
744
00:29:55,655 --> 00:29:57,590
And so it's actually
this reclaiming that we're
745
00:29:57,690 --> 00:29:59,826
getting to see these
two cultures mirror
746
00:29:59,959 --> 00:30:01,127
each other as they do that.
747
00:30:01,227 --> 00:30:05,565
And Wakanda has kept it and
protected it, and then so
748
00:30:05,665 --> 00:30:06,966
have the Talokaniles.
749
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,968
So it's this beautiful kind
of reflection on each other,
750
00:30:09,002 --> 00:30:10,537
which I just think is
kind of unprecedented
751
00:30:10,637 --> 00:30:11,538
and really, really exciting.
752
00:30:11,638 --> 00:30:12,539
And I think--
753
00:30:12,639 --> 00:30:13,540
It truly is.
754
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,475
Your character shines.
755
00:30:15,575 --> 00:30:17,143
Some of my favorite lines,
genuinely in the movie,
756
00:30:17,243 --> 00:30:18,144
are yours.
757
00:30:18,244 --> 00:30:19,546
Because here's the thing.
758
00:30:19,646 --> 00:30:24,284
We met you as this bad-ass on
screen, kicking ass, running,
759
00:30:24,384 --> 00:30:26,286
I always said, do
you know how bad-ass
760
00:30:26,386 --> 00:30:29,022
you have to be the bodyguards
for the Black Panther?
761
00:30:29,122 --> 00:30:30,390
Do you know what I mean?
762
00:30:30,490 --> 00:30:33,226
That scene in the casino,
that first fight scene
763
00:30:33,326 --> 00:30:34,694
where everyone's just
like, who are you
764
00:30:34,794 --> 00:30:35,695
and what are you doing.
765
00:30:35,795 --> 00:30:36,896
And your character comes back.
766
00:30:36,996 --> 00:30:39,399
The fight scenes are
even more intense.
767
00:30:39,499 --> 00:30:42,135
There's parts where you're
fighting in the water,
768
00:30:42,235 --> 00:30:43,203
and then you're not.
769
00:30:43,303 --> 00:30:44,571
Were you actually
doing that, by the way?
770
00:30:44,671 --> 00:30:46,005
Yes.
771
00:30:46,072 --> 00:30:49,242
I have a little bit of a torn
muscle in my shoulder to prove
772
00:30:49,342 --> 00:30:50,910
it, but it's all good now.
773
00:30:51,010 --> 00:30:52,312
It's healed, it's healed.
774
00:30:52,412 --> 00:30:53,313
So don't fret.
775
00:30:53,413 --> 00:30:55,748
OK, like water
fight scenes and--
776
00:30:55,849 --> 00:30:58,318
Yeah, and the scene, what my
character, yeah, the key thing
777
00:30:58,418 --> 00:31:01,488
that the stuff on the
bridge, all that stuff,
778
00:31:01,588 --> 00:31:03,957
yeah, I had to, because
there's no way I could,
779
00:31:04,057 --> 00:31:05,391
to me, it's like,
how do I do the role
780
00:31:05,492 --> 00:31:07,060
if I'm not doing the role.
She's a warrior.
781
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,261
Right.
782
00:31:08,361 --> 00:31:09,963
And like I was coming
from Walking Dead as well.
783
00:31:10,063 --> 00:31:12,298
So I was used to, in Walking
Dead, it was just like,
784
00:31:12,398 --> 00:31:13,366
get out there and do it.
785
00:31:13,466 --> 00:31:14,968
Go beat, go out there
and beat somebody!
786
00:31:15,001 --> 00:31:15,969
You know?
787
00:31:16,002 --> 00:31:17,170
It's like, get it done.
788
00:31:17,270 --> 00:31:19,139
So like I was used to just
getting out there and just
789
00:31:19,239 --> 00:31:20,406
getting it done.
790
00:31:20,507 --> 00:31:21,708
And that's, and
really acquainting
791
00:31:21,808 --> 00:31:22,776
myself with the weapon.
792
00:31:22,876 --> 00:31:24,978
And we did that so
hard in the first one.
793
00:31:25,078 --> 00:31:26,613
So in the second one,
there was no exception.
794
00:31:26,713 --> 00:31:28,681
I had to do my fights, I
had to learn my fights.
795
00:31:28,782 --> 00:31:31,785
And yeah, it was,
it's a lot of work.
796
00:31:31,885 --> 00:31:33,253
There's no way around the work.
797
00:31:33,353 --> 00:31:36,022
But to me, that's actually
how you become the character.
798
00:31:36,122 --> 00:31:39,659
You can't become Okoye outside
of how she knows how to fight.
799
00:31:39,759 --> 00:31:41,227
And you have to keep doing it--
800
00:31:41,327 --> 00:31:42,762
- It's a part of who she is.
- Exactly.
801
00:31:42,862 --> 00:31:44,164
So it needs to be a
part of who you are.
802
00:31:44,264 --> 00:31:45,698
Like I had to, I had to win.
803
00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:46,699
That was my thing.
804
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,067
Like, I could not win.
805
00:31:48,168 --> 00:31:49,402
This is General
Okoye, this is you.
806
00:31:49,502 --> 00:31:51,171
- Oh, crap, you might be right.
- Yeah.
807
00:31:51,271 --> 00:31:52,572
This is her.
This is her.
808
00:31:52,672 --> 00:31:54,274
Because we see your
character on this journey.
809
00:31:54,374 --> 00:31:55,742
And again, I won't
spoil it, but what
810
00:31:55,842 --> 00:31:58,011
we see on your
character's journey
811
00:31:58,111 --> 00:32:01,614
is her grappling with the idea
that she's not in control.
812
00:32:01,714 --> 00:32:04,350
Her grappling with the idea
that she cannot protect
813
00:32:04,451 --> 00:32:06,019
everybody, including herself.
814
00:32:06,119 --> 00:32:08,521
Her grappling with
the idea of failure,
815
00:32:08,621 --> 00:32:11,524
which is such a personal
experience for anybody
816
00:32:11,624 --> 00:32:13,560
to share, first of all, but
it's also vulnerable to have,
817
00:32:13,660 --> 00:32:17,530
is to go, yeah, I am not what
everybody needed me to be.
818
00:32:17,630 --> 00:32:19,132
And you felt that pain
in your character.
819
00:32:19,232 --> 00:32:20,133
Oh, yeah.
820
00:32:20,233 --> 00:32:21,701
And that's what
I loved about how
821
00:32:21,801 --> 00:32:24,003
Ryan like bifurcated
the grief process
822
00:32:24,104 --> 00:32:25,105
in different characters.
823
00:32:25,205 --> 00:32:26,973
And my character, she
just doesn't really
824
00:32:27,073 --> 00:32:28,274
take care of herself that way.
825
00:32:28,374 --> 00:32:30,743
So to actually, to have
to get confronted with it
826
00:32:30,844 --> 00:32:32,812
that way was the only way
she was really going to be,
827
00:32:32,979 --> 00:32:35,648
because she is so, I have to
take care of everybody else.
828
00:32:35,748 --> 00:32:37,083
I have to make sure
this, she's got
829
00:32:37,183 --> 00:32:38,184
the country on her shoulders.
830
00:32:38,284 --> 00:32:39,586
I've got to keep it
protected and secure.
831
00:32:39,686 --> 00:32:41,421
I got to keep this family
protected and secure
832
00:32:41,521 --> 00:32:42,789
that she feels she's a part of.
833
00:32:42,889 --> 00:32:43,890
Yes.
834
00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:46,893
So the lines are all
blurred between her job
835
00:32:46,993 --> 00:32:49,429
and her personal experiences
of losing her brother
836
00:32:49,529 --> 00:32:51,131
and taking care of his family.
837
00:32:51,231 --> 00:32:54,134
So yeah, it is definitely that
sort of aspect of not being
838
00:32:54,234 --> 00:32:57,470
able to hold
everything down and not
839
00:32:57,570 --> 00:33:00,140
being able to process her pain
and her grief for herself.
840
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,408
Can I just say on
behalf of everybody who
841
00:33:02,509 --> 00:33:04,310
was a massive fan
of the first film,
842
00:33:04,410 --> 00:33:06,012
thank you for what you
put into the second one.
843
00:33:06,112 --> 00:33:07,413
Thank you for
making it the film
844
00:33:07,514 --> 00:33:09,783
that it is, for not
cutting corners,
845
00:33:09,949 --> 00:33:12,385
for enjoying it, for
representing everybody
846
00:33:12,485 --> 00:33:13,453
on and off the screen.
847
00:33:13,553 --> 00:33:14,454
I appreciate you so much.
848
00:33:14,554 --> 00:33:15,455
Thank you for joining
me on the show.
849
00:33:15,555 --> 00:33:16,456
Thank you, always a pleasure.
850
00:33:16,556 --> 00:33:17,557
Such a pleasure having you.
851
00:33:17,657 --> 00:33:18,825
Danai Gurira, everybody.
852
00:33:18,958 --> 00:33:20,326
All right, we're going
to take a quick break,
853
00:33:20,427 --> 00:33:22,028
but we'll be right
back after this.
854
00:33:22,128 --> 00:33:24,264
Thank you, for real.
855
00:33:31,241 --> 00:33:33,143
[cheering]
856
00:33:33,243 --> 00:33:34,344
Well, that's our
show for tonight.
857
00:33:34,444 --> 00:33:35,479
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
858
00:33:35,579 --> 00:33:37,981
But before we go--
before we go, please,
859
00:33:38,081 --> 00:33:42,486
consider donating to Los
Angeles Regional Food Bank.
860
00:33:42,586 --> 00:33:45,022
They collect healthy
food and other products
861
00:33:45,122 --> 00:33:47,157
and distribute them
to people experiencing
862
00:33:47,257 --> 00:33:48,258
nutrition insecurity.
863
00:33:48,358 --> 00:33:49,860
So if you can support
them in their work,
864
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,461
then please donate
at the link below.
865
00:33:51,561 --> 00:33:53,363
Until next time,
stay safe out there.
866
00:33:53,463 --> 00:33:57,100
And, remember, there may be 8
billion people on this planet,
867
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,770
but there's only seven of you.
868
00:33:59,870 --> 00:34:01,838
Now here it is,
your Moment of Zen.
869
00:34:01,938 --> 00:34:03,240
[applause]
870
00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:06,944
When I was trying to get Emma
to date me, first thing I did,
871
00:34:07,044 --> 00:34:08,378
I let the air out of her tires.
872
00:34:08,478 --> 00:34:10,080
As someone who knows white,
suburban women better
873
00:34:10,180 --> 00:34:11,081
than anybody--
874
00:34:11,181 --> 00:34:13,450
There was a woman--
875
00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:16,286
I'm not going to describe
her too in detail,
876
00:34:16,386 --> 00:34:18,555
but she had tattoos, and
she was not attractive.
877
00:34:18,655 --> 00:34:20,223
Something sexy
about that fat seal,
878
00:34:20,324 --> 00:34:21,491
I just can't put
my finger on it.
879
00:34:21,591 --> 00:34:22,492
WOMAN: Yeah, he's got moves.
880
00:34:22,592 --> 00:34:24,928
I haven't seen a
lot of sexy fast food.
881
00:34:25,028 --> 00:34:27,731
Are you talking about
Wendy, the redhead
882
00:34:27,831 --> 00:34:29,766
from the burger joint or--
883
00:34:29,866 --> 00:34:32,002
If my Phillies win, I'm
going to make him get naked.
884
00:34:32,102 --> 00:34:35,405
I just wanted to thank you
for sending us less porn.
885
00:34:35,505 --> 00:34:38,375
If you keep dancing like this,
even I might vote for Hillary.
886
00:34:38,475 --> 00:34:40,844
Charlie Sheen said
when someone asked him
887
00:34:40,877 --> 00:34:43,847
why he had
prostitutes, he goes,
888
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,449
oh, I don't pay them
to have sex with me.
889
00:34:45,549 --> 00:34:46,717
I pay them to leave.
890
00:34:46,850 --> 00:34:50,420
You know, I think I have a
very good ear for sexism.
