00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:03,270
ANNOUNCER: Coming
to you from New
3
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:07,474
York City, the only city in
America, it's The Daily Show.
4
00:00:07,574 --> 00:00:13,046
Tonight, Herschel Walker
builds a wall, Ondi
5
00:00:13,146 --> 00:00:16,884
Timoner, and Gabrielle Union.
6
00:00:16,984 --> 00:00:21,588
This is The Daily
Show with Trevor Noah.
7
00:00:21,688 --> 00:00:28,662
[cheering]
8
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:37,137
What's going on, everybody?
9
00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:38,138
Welcome to The Daily Show.
10
00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:39,907
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
11
00:00:40,007 --> 00:00:41,375
Thank you for coming
out in person.
12
00:00:41,475 --> 00:00:42,376
That's something else.
13
00:00:42,476 --> 00:00:44,344
Good to see you, everyone.
14
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:45,546
We got a great show
for you tonight.
15
00:00:45,646 --> 00:00:46,880
Take a seat.
Take a seat, everybody.
16
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:47,948
Let's get into it.
17
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:49,183
Let's do this thing.
18
00:00:49,283 --> 00:00:50,617
Oh, man, we got a
fun show for you.
19
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:53,587
San Francisco is using
tech to fight crime.
20
00:00:53,687 --> 00:00:55,155
Herschel Walker
is using gibberish
21
00:00:55,255 --> 00:00:56,456
to solve immigration.
22
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:59,459
And Elon Musk is using free
speech to try kill us all.
23
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,694
So let's do this, people.
24
00:01:00,794 --> 00:01:02,596
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
25
00:01:02,696 --> 00:01:09,436
[cheering]
26
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:12,472
All right, before we get
into the big stories,
27
00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:15,309
let's catch up on a few other
things going on in the world,
28
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:19,346
starting with the fact that
today is Spotify Wrapped day.
29
00:01:19,446 --> 00:01:20,347
Yeah.
30
00:01:20,447 --> 00:01:22,349
[cheering]
31
00:01:22,449 --> 00:01:25,185
Yeah, the day that
Spotify looks at our music
32
00:01:25,285 --> 00:01:28,088
and reminds us that
we're all a basic bitch.
33
00:01:28,121 --> 00:01:29,656
[laughter]
34
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:31,925
And, you know, I was thinking,
thank god Tinder doesn't do
35
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:35,229
a year-end wrapup
just to remind
36
00:01:35,329 --> 00:01:36,396
you of all the
terrible decisions
37
00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:38,232
you made on desperate nights.
38
00:01:38,332 --> 00:01:40,434
It's like, wow, I dated a
lot of people with pet snakes
39
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:42,369
this year.
40
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:45,272
In international news, the
United Nations has officially
41
00:01:45,372 --> 00:01:49,910
added the French baguette
to the UNESCO World Heritage
42
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:56,116
list, which is cool, but
it's another reminder
43
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:58,018
that the United Nations
really needs to eat lunch
44
00:01:58,118 --> 00:01:59,887
before making big decisions.
45
00:02:00,053 --> 00:02:01,889
It's like, should we
give Chinese food a seat
46
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:02,890
on the Security Council?
47
00:02:03,056 --> 00:02:05,726
I'm so hungry.
48
00:02:05,826 --> 00:02:07,060
And you would think
that this is great.
49
00:02:07,094 --> 00:02:08,195
I hear some of you clapping.
50
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:09,329
Oh, yeah, I love baguettes.
51
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:12,666
But, remember, now it's
protected by the UN.
52
00:02:12,766 --> 00:02:14,368
Yeah, so now every
time you try and take
53
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:15,969
a bite out of a baguette,
a peacekeeper is going
54
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:17,070
to jump out and kick your ass.
55
00:02:17,104 --> 00:02:20,073
It's like, pow, stop that shit!
56
00:02:20,174 --> 00:02:21,642
Meanwhile, in
presidential news,
57
00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:24,478
Joe Biden's Secret Service
detail had a bit of a scare
58
00:02:24,578 --> 00:02:28,415
recently when five cars
they had rented suddenly
59
00:02:28,515 --> 00:02:31,084
burst into flames
after they were
60
00:02:31,185 --> 00:02:33,887
returned to Hertz rent a car .
61
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:36,089
Yeah, now the good
news is Biden has
62
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:39,226
got full coverage insurance.
63
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:41,228
The bad news is Senate
Republicans blocked it.
64
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:44,231
So he's going to need to borrow
some money from Kamala now.
65
00:02:44,331 --> 00:02:46,533
But my question is, why
is the Secret Service
66
00:02:46,633 --> 00:02:49,803
even renting cars from Hertz?
67
00:02:49,903 --> 00:02:51,839
Am I the only person
who was thrown by that?
68
00:02:51,939 --> 00:02:53,607
Like, what happens if the
SUV they want isn't there?
69
00:02:53,707 --> 00:02:54,808
What?
70
00:02:54,908 --> 00:02:56,844
Now the president is
rocking up to a state dinner
71
00:02:56,944 --> 00:02:57,845
in a Hyundai.
72
00:02:57,945 --> 00:03:00,781
Is that how it's going to work?
73
00:03:00,881 --> 00:03:02,549
Oh, and while we're talking
about things exploding,
74
00:03:02,649 --> 00:03:07,154
experts say the United States
is now facing a shortage
75
00:03:07,254 --> 00:03:10,490
of bomb-sniffing dogs.
76
00:03:10,591 --> 00:03:12,125
Yeah, which probably
explains how
77
00:03:12,226 --> 00:03:15,128
Morbius made it into theaters.
78
00:03:15,229 --> 00:03:17,164
And it makes sense when
you think about it.
79
00:03:17,264 --> 00:03:18,265
You know?
80
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:19,600
Of course, this was
always going to happen.
81
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:21,768
If you had the choice of
being a bomb-sniffing dog
82
00:03:21,869 --> 00:03:24,605
or a drug-sniffing dog,
what would you choose?
83
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:25,839
[laughter]
84
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:26,840
Huh?
85
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:27,841
What would you choose?
86
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:31,545
[applause]
87
00:03:31,645 --> 00:03:32,779
So simple.
88
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,648
Yeah, option A,
you might explode.
89
00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:35,716
Option B, free cocaine.
90
00:03:35,816 --> 00:03:36,683
I mean--
91
00:03:36,783 --> 00:03:40,153
[cheering]
92
00:03:40,254 --> 00:03:43,323
It is hard for us humans,
though, because now
93
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:44,591
you know what this means.
94
00:03:44,691 --> 00:03:47,528
We're going to have to
resort to bomb-sniffing cats.
95
00:03:47,628 --> 00:03:48,595
And their noses are good.
96
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:50,130
They can figure out
where the bombs are.
97
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,599
But they just won't
tell us about it.
98
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:54,134
Yeah.
99
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:56,103
The cat will be there like,
I have nine lives, bitch.
100
00:03:56,203 --> 00:03:57,104
Not my problem.
101
00:03:57,204 --> 00:03:58,105
Meow.
102
00:03:58,205 --> 00:03:59,506
[applause]
103
00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:00,574
All right, let's
move on to some
104
00:04:00,674 --> 00:04:01,775
of the biggest
stories of the day,
105
00:04:01,875 --> 00:04:03,410
starting with the
2022 midterms.
106
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:04,745
And I know what you're
saying right now.
107
00:04:04,845 --> 00:04:06,747
You're like, but, Trevor,
the midterms are over.
108
00:04:06,847 --> 00:04:07,748
I killed them.
109
00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:08,749
I watched them die.
110
00:04:08,849 --> 00:04:11,051
Well, you thought you did.
111
00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:12,352
But you never took a headshot.
112
00:04:12,452 --> 00:04:13,554
And after you
left, the midterms
113
00:04:13,654 --> 00:04:14,755
busted out of the dirt.
114
00:04:14,855 --> 00:04:16,523
And now they're back.
115
00:04:16,623 --> 00:04:19,226
Because down in Georgia
they're just a few days away
116
00:04:19,326 --> 00:04:23,163
from a runoff between incumbent
Senator Raphael Warnock
117
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:24,565
and the reason you're
pulling your son out
118
00:04:24,665 --> 00:04:26,600
of football, Herschel Walker.
119
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:28,202
And we're going to tell
you all about the latest
120
00:04:28,302 --> 00:04:31,438
updates in another
installment of Votedemic 2022.
121
00:04:31,538 --> 00:04:34,341
[music playing]
122
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:38,178
[applause]
123
00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:40,514
There is now less than one week
to go until the Georgia
124
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:41,748
runoff election.
125
00:04:41,849 --> 00:04:43,684
And, once again,
Herschel Walker
126
00:04:43,784 --> 00:04:45,652
is battling controversies.
127
00:04:45,752 --> 00:04:48,722
First of all, he might
not even live in the state
128
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:50,324
that he's trying to represent.
129
00:04:50,424 --> 00:04:53,827
Yeah, according to new
reports, the Georgia home
130
00:04:53,927 --> 00:04:55,562
that he's claimed
as his residence
131
00:04:55,662 --> 00:04:59,132
has actually been
rented out for years.
132
00:04:59,233 --> 00:05:01,535
Yeah, and, apparently, Walker
even admitted in a speech
133
00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:06,540
earlier this year that he lives
in Texas, which I was shocked
134
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,675
about because I did not think
Herschel Walker knew the names
135
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:09,676
of two different states.
136
00:05:09,776 --> 00:05:11,812
This was really impressive.
137
00:05:11,912 --> 00:05:13,680
[applause]
138
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:14,748
And I know.
139
00:05:14,848 --> 00:05:16,350
I know this might
piss some people off.
140
00:05:16,450 --> 00:05:17,451
But when you think
about it, this
141
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:19,052
just proves that
Herschel Walker
142
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:21,455
views Georgians as family.
143
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:23,857
Because he's never around them.
144
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:25,759
And, of course--
of course, there's
145
00:05:25,859 --> 00:05:27,094
the other problem
for Herschel Walker,
146
00:05:27,194 --> 00:05:30,831
which is that every time
he speaks, things go wrong.
147
00:05:30,931 --> 00:05:33,867
For instance, Walker was
recently at a campaign stop,
148
00:05:33,967 --> 00:05:36,603
giving his views on the border.
149
00:05:36,703 --> 00:05:40,707
And in his speech, he's trying
to explain why he will build
150
00:05:40,807 --> 00:05:44,211
Donald Trump's border
wall, but in a way
151
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:45,879
that only Herschel Walker can.
152
00:05:45,979 --> 00:05:50,150
He goes on to debunk his
own argument about a wall,
153
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:51,652
and then takes
us on a wild ride
154
00:05:51,752 --> 00:05:58,759
that somehow involves his dog.
155
00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:18,879
[laughter]
156
00:06:19,046 --> 00:06:21,548
I'm sorry, what?
157
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:25,052
Did this man just win an
argument with himself?
158
00:06:25,152 --> 00:06:26,887
Because he's like, I
think his plan is to what?
159
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:29,256
Build a border wall
so that he can trap
160
00:06:29,356 --> 00:06:30,891
immigrants inside America.
161
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:32,059
Is that what he's doing?
162
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:33,060
(IMITATING WALKER) You
see, once they get in,
163
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:34,061
they can't get out.
164
00:06:34,161 --> 00:06:35,262
Then they've got to
get a job and raise
165
00:06:35,362 --> 00:06:36,730
a family, settle down, and
that's how we get them.
166
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:37,731
Yeah!
167
00:06:37,831 --> 00:06:39,833
[laughter]
168
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:42,302
It's almost like--
it's almost like--
169
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,570
[applause]
170
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:45,472
It's almost like Walker started
out talking about border
171
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:47,508
security, and then ended
up telling everyone
172
00:06:47,608 --> 00:06:50,143
how to break into his house.
173
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:51,378
And, personally,
I don't think he
174
00:06:51,478 --> 00:06:53,947
needs a wall because the
hardest part about breaking
175
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:55,415
into Herschel Walker's
house is figuring out
176
00:06:55,516 --> 00:06:56,717
which state it's in.
(IMITATING WALKER)
177
00:06:56,817 --> 00:06:57,751
[laughs] Joke's on you.
178
00:06:57,851 --> 00:06:59,686
I actually live
in Kansas, Hawaii.
179
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:01,855
[laughs] Yeah.
180
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:04,691
But let's move on to some
news from social media.
181
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:06,260
Ever since Elon
Musk pranked himself
182
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,295
into buying Twitter
for $44 billion,
183
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:10,898
he has been trying to
reshape the entire website
184
00:07:11,031 --> 00:07:13,333
according to what he likes.
185
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:16,036
He's brought back thousands
of suspended accounts.
186
00:07:16,136 --> 00:07:18,305
He's made it easier to
get a blue checkmark.
187
00:07:18,405 --> 00:07:23,177
And now any number you tweet
is automatically changed to 69.
188
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:24,378
Yeah.
189
00:07:24,478 --> 00:07:26,446
You post that your dad
only has three days left.
190
00:07:26,547 --> 00:07:27,781
Now he has 69.
191
00:07:27,881 --> 00:07:28,782
Nice.
192
00:07:28,882 --> 00:07:31,318
[laughs] Rest in
peace, but nice.
193
00:07:31,418 --> 00:07:34,321
But Elon's biggest promise
is that under his leadership
194
00:07:34,421 --> 00:07:37,224
Twitter is completely
open for free speech
195
00:07:37,324 --> 00:07:41,061
no matter how wrong
that speech might be.
196
00:07:41,128 --> 00:07:43,096
REPORTER: A potentially
dangerous new change
197
00:07:43,197 --> 00:07:44,898
on Twitter, the
social media site
198
00:07:45,065 --> 00:07:46,934
is no longer
enforcing its policy
199
00:07:47,067 --> 00:07:48,702
against COVID misinformation.
200
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:51,171
REPORTER: Twitter suspended
more than 11,000 accounts
201
00:07:51,271 --> 00:07:54,975
for breaking the policy
and removed almost 100,000
202
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:58,078
pieces of content
between January of 2020
203
00:07:58,178 --> 00:08:00,247
and September of 2022.
204
00:08:00,347 --> 00:08:02,182
And Musk is
promising to restore
205
00:08:02,282 --> 00:08:06,119
many previously banned Twitter
accounts as soon as this week.
206
00:08:06,220 --> 00:08:08,255
REPORTER: Health experts
are concerned that it could
207
00:08:08,355 --> 00:08:11,024
diminish efforts to stop
the spread of the virus
208
00:08:11,058 --> 00:08:13,660
and could discourage
vaccinations.
209
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,598
OK, look, maybe this is my
vaccine microchip talking,
210
00:08:17,698 --> 00:08:20,234
but I don't think it's
responsible for Twitter
211
00:08:20,334 --> 00:08:21,668
to bring back the
people who are spreading
212
00:08:21,768 --> 00:08:23,604
COVID misinformation.
213
00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:27,274
But, on the other hand-- on
the other hand, it is 2022.
214
00:08:27,374 --> 00:08:29,376
Like, how can you still be
misinformed about COVID?
215
00:08:29,476 --> 00:08:30,344
You know?
216
00:08:30,444 --> 00:08:31,445
Were you just
running around like,
217
00:08:31,545 --> 00:08:32,613
I heard the vaccine
turns you into a lizard.
218
00:08:32,713 --> 00:08:34,147
Mother-Mother-[bleep],, it's
been three years.
219
00:08:34,248 --> 00:08:35,148
Do you see any lizards?
220
00:08:35,249 --> 00:08:36,550
You see any lizards here?
221
00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:38,418
[cheering]
222
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:42,956
They're probably hiding.
223
00:08:43,056 --> 00:08:44,925
And forget COVID for a second.
224
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:47,561
It's crazy that anyone
would go to Twitter
225
00:08:47,661 --> 00:08:50,931
for any medical information.
226
00:08:51,064 --> 00:08:52,833
People should be going to
the doctor for this stuff.
227
00:08:52,933 --> 00:08:55,102
But because no one can
afford a doctor in America,
228
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:57,804
people are out here searching
hashtag #BumpOnMyDick
229
00:08:57,905 --> 00:09:00,174
and hoping to find a cure.
230
00:09:00,274 --> 00:09:01,642
Like, cocaine on
my penis, that's
231
00:09:01,742 --> 00:09:04,278
not what I was looking for.
232
00:09:04,378 --> 00:09:05,412
Anyway, let's move
on to some news
233
00:09:05,512 --> 00:09:06,747
coming out of San Francisco.
234
00:09:06,847 --> 00:09:08,882
Like many big cities, San
Francisco has been struggling
235
00:09:09,016 --> 00:09:10,484
to get crime under control.
236
00:09:10,584 --> 00:09:12,686
And if you're thinking,
oh, it's San Francisco.
237
00:09:12,786 --> 00:09:14,021
What are they
doing, prescribing
238
00:09:14,087 --> 00:09:15,589
all the criminals CBD oil?
239
00:09:15,689 --> 00:09:16,723
No.
240
00:09:16,823 --> 00:09:20,127
I mean, yes, but not just that.
241
00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:23,463
They also have more
hardcore solution.
242
00:09:23,564 --> 00:09:25,432
REPORTER: New this morning,
San Francisco officials
243
00:09:25,532 --> 00:09:27,201
voted to allow
city police to have
244
00:09:27,301 --> 00:09:30,470
remote-controlled robots
that could use deadly force
245
00:09:30,571 --> 00:09:32,039
in extreme situations.
246
00:09:32,105 --> 00:09:34,508
Critics of the decision
say it militarizes
247
00:09:34,608 --> 00:09:35,876
San Francisco's police.
248
00:09:36,043 --> 00:09:38,145
But city supervisor
Rafael Mandelman,
249
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:39,613
who voted in favor
of the robots,
250
00:09:39,713 --> 00:09:41,248
said that the killer
machines would only
251
00:09:41,348 --> 00:09:43,283
be used if lives are at stake.
252
00:09:43,383 --> 00:09:46,753
REPORTER: SFPD said they
don't have prearmed robots.
253
00:09:46,854 --> 00:09:50,591
And they don't plan to arm the
ones they do have with guns.
254
00:09:50,691 --> 00:09:54,294
Assistant Chief David Lazar
said they could deploy robots
255
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:55,896
equipped with explosives.
256
00:09:56,063 --> 00:09:56,897
Wait, wait.
257
00:09:57,064 --> 00:09:58,699
What?
What?
258
00:09:58,799 --> 00:09:59,900
They're not going
to arm the robots.
259
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,901
They're just going to
give them explosives.
260
00:10:01,001 --> 00:10:01,935
That is much worse.
261
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:03,437
[laughter]
262
00:10:03,537 --> 00:10:05,072
Who came out with
that PR statement?
263
00:10:05,172 --> 00:10:06,106
Don't worry, people.
264
00:10:06,206 --> 00:10:07,975
The robots aren't
going to have guns.
265
00:10:08,075 --> 00:10:10,677
They're just going to
be suicide bombers, OK?
266
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:11,879
Calm down.
267
00:10:11,979 --> 00:10:14,314
Everyone's going.
268
00:10:14,414 --> 00:10:15,682
This is such a bad idea.
269
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:19,019
Do you know how often
robots make mistakes?
270
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:22,689
Can you imagine if
Siri had a bomb?
271
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:24,658
Just like, hey,
Siri, play 21 Savage.
272
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:25,826
Now killing your family.
273
00:10:25,926 --> 00:10:27,494
No!
274
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:28,996
No!
275
00:10:29,096 --> 00:10:30,497
Wait, which members
of my family?
276
00:10:30,597 --> 00:10:31,498
But still, no!
277
00:10:31,598 --> 00:10:34,201
But let's talk about it.
278
00:10:34,301 --> 00:10:36,303
Now, to be clear, just so
we're on the same page,
279
00:10:36,403 --> 00:10:39,139
the robots will not
actually be deciding
280
00:10:39,239 --> 00:10:40,541
when to use deadly force.
281
00:10:40,641 --> 00:10:41,775
All right?
282
00:10:41,875 --> 00:10:44,278
There will still be trained
human police officers
283
00:10:44,378 --> 00:10:45,746
on the remote-control trigger.
284
00:10:45,846 --> 00:10:47,147
So don't worry.
285
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:48,982
It's still going to be mostly
Black people that get killed.
286
00:10:49,082 --> 00:10:51,385
And it's wild--
it's wild how cities
287
00:10:51,485 --> 00:10:54,054
can always find money for
high-tech gadgets for cops.
288
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:56,690
But when it comes to
investigating or, like,
289
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:58,792
investing in long-term
solutions that
290
00:10:58,892 --> 00:11:00,060
might actually
fix the problems,
291
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,929
then their pockets are empty.
Have you noticed that?
292
00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:03,130
Yeah.
293
00:11:03,230 --> 00:11:05,065
They're like, oh, yeah,
robot money, we got that.
294
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:06,600
We got that.
295
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,969
People asking, you're like,
wait, you're building robots
296
00:11:09,069 --> 00:11:10,237
that are police with bombs?
297
00:11:10,337 --> 00:11:12,072
Can we do something about,
like, the homeless people?
298
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:13,874
They're like, oh, yeah, the
robots can blow them up too.
299
00:11:13,974 --> 00:11:15,209
Yeah, we can handle that.
300
00:11:15,309 --> 00:11:16,210
It makes no sense.
301
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:17,544
But that's it for
the headlines.
302
00:11:17,644 --> 00:11:18,979
Before we go, let's check in
on the traffic with our very
303
00:11:19,079 --> 00:11:20,180
own Roy Wood, Jr., everybody.
304
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,683
[cheering]
305
00:11:22,783 --> 00:11:23,817
What's happening, Africa?
306
00:11:23,917 --> 00:11:24,918
TREVOR NOAH: It's
craziness, Roy.
307
00:11:25,085 --> 00:11:25,953
Yeah.
308
00:11:26,086 --> 00:11:27,087
TREVOR NOAH:
Absolute craziness.
309
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,088
Yeah.
310
00:11:28,155 --> 00:11:29,089
Good time.
311
00:11:29,156 --> 00:11:30,090
Hello.
312
00:11:30,157 --> 00:11:31,325
Yeah.
313
00:11:31,425 --> 00:11:32,326
Traffic.
314
00:11:32,426 --> 00:11:33,627
Yup, what's happening
in the traffic?
315
00:11:33,727 --> 00:11:34,661
I mean, you see the traffic.
316
00:11:34,761 --> 00:11:35,696
Some people out there.
317
00:11:35,796 --> 00:11:36,697
Some people at home.
318
00:11:36,797 --> 00:11:38,098
They ain't out there.
319
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:39,233
That's how it is.
320
00:11:39,333 --> 00:11:40,767
Hell, they need to get
a robot to do this shit.
321
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:42,569
This what need to be automated.
322
00:11:42,669 --> 00:11:43,837
Also, man, I don't
know why everybody
323
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:45,405
is so worried about
these robot cops, man.
324
00:11:45,506 --> 00:11:47,474
Because truth be told,
this ain't the first time
325
00:11:47,574 --> 00:11:48,509
that this happened.
326
00:11:48,609 --> 00:11:51,378
There was a robot cop
program in Detroit
327
00:11:51,478 --> 00:11:52,679
back in the late '80s.
328
00:11:52,779 --> 00:11:54,581
And it was a robot officer.
329
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:55,949
He took down a
heinous drug dealer
330
00:11:56,116 --> 00:11:57,251
named Clarence Boddicker.
331
00:11:57,351 --> 00:11:59,219
But, ultimately,
the program got
332
00:11:59,319 --> 00:12:01,188
scrapped because the robot
thought he was a real person
333
00:12:01,288 --> 00:12:02,222
on some Pinocchio shit.
334
00:12:02,322 --> 00:12:04,858
So they had to stop that.
335
00:12:04,958 --> 00:12:07,294
[laughter]
336
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:10,330
Roy, that was RoboCop.
337
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:11,331
Yes.
338
00:12:11,431 --> 00:12:13,433
Yes, that was
RoboCop, whose real
339
00:12:13,534 --> 00:12:16,436
name was officer
Alex J. Murphy, who
340
00:12:16,537 --> 00:12:17,638
was shot in the line of duty.
341
00:12:17,738 --> 00:12:19,306
And they turned him
into the RoboCop.
342
00:12:19,406 --> 00:12:20,307
No, no, Roy.
343
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:22,176
Roy, that's not a true story.
344
00:12:22,276 --> 00:12:25,245
That was a movie.
345
00:12:25,345 --> 00:12:26,580
You bullshitting.
346
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:28,215
[laughter]
347
00:12:28,315 --> 00:12:29,516
TREVOR NOAH: It was a movie.
348
00:12:29,616 --> 00:12:31,251
Oh, OK, well, if
you say so, man.
349
00:12:31,351 --> 00:12:32,553
But, anyway, I don't
know why everybody
350
00:12:32,653 --> 00:12:35,556
is assuming that the
robots are going to be bad.
351
00:12:35,656 --> 00:12:36,857
Why do you assume
that the robot
352
00:12:36,957 --> 00:12:38,258
cops are going to be bad?
353
00:12:38,358 --> 00:12:40,227
If anything, the
robot cops will
354
00:12:40,327 --> 00:12:43,330
get all of the-- the-- the
messed up cops off the street.
355
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:45,165
I ain't scared of no robot cop.
You scared.
356
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:46,934
You scared.
TREVOR NOAH: Of the robots?
357
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:47,968
You're scared of a robot cop?
358
00:12:48,101 --> 00:12:49,136
You're not scared
of a robot cop?
359
00:12:49,236 --> 00:12:51,338
No, I'm not scared
of no robot cop, man.
360
00:12:51,438 --> 00:12:53,507
Half of these robots don't
even recognize Black people.
361
00:12:53,607 --> 00:12:56,109
I can't get the sink
faucet to turn on.
362
00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:57,778
TREVOR NOAH: What are
you talking about?
363
00:12:57,878 --> 00:12:59,346
Robots don't
recognize Black people.
364
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:00,814
I can't get water out the sink.
365
00:13:00,914 --> 00:13:02,449
The facial recognition
don't see me.
366
00:13:02,549 --> 00:13:04,451
Bring on the robot
cops because maybe
367
00:13:04,551 --> 00:13:07,120
now Black people will finally
be invisible to the police.
368
00:13:07,221 --> 00:13:08,121
I'm with it.
369
00:13:08,222 --> 00:13:09,223
[cheering]
370
00:13:09,323 --> 00:13:12,659
I'm perfectly fine with that.
371
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:14,394
Black people are
invisible to the police,
372
00:13:14,494 --> 00:13:17,464
and now, finally, we can
commit our crimes in peace
373
00:13:17,564 --> 00:13:18,465
just like like white folks.
374
00:13:18,565 --> 00:13:21,068
[laughter]
375
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,069
But you want the
traffic though.
376
00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:23,070
You want the traffic.
377
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:24,071
Yeah, let's do
the traffic, Roy.
378
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:26,573
Yeah, this thing
with the bomb dogs,
379
00:13:26,673 --> 00:13:30,511
though, this is a question
I feel like nobody's
380
00:13:30,611 --> 00:13:31,678
asking about the bomb dogs.
381
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:34,882
If there is a shortage--
382
00:13:34,982 --> 00:13:39,086
if there is a shortage
of bomb-sniffing dogs,
383
00:13:39,119 --> 00:13:45,459
shouldn't you shut your ass up
about it and not tell anybody?
384
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,394
Shouldn't you not tell anybody?
385
00:13:47,494 --> 00:13:49,196
[applause]
386
00:13:49,296 --> 00:13:51,098
Just shh.
387
00:13:51,131 --> 00:13:52,900
You just can't let
everybody know you ain't
388
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,368
got enough bomb-sniffing dogs.
389
00:13:54,468 --> 00:13:58,105
ISIS at home, watching CBS
like, yes, now is the time.
390
00:13:58,138 --> 00:14:00,040
TREVOR NOAH: [laughs]
391
00:14:00,073 --> 00:14:02,409
Plus, you don't need
a bomb-sniffing dog.
392
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:07,581
You just need people to think
you got a bomb-sniffing dog.
393
00:14:07,681 --> 00:14:09,650
Just put regular
dogs in the airport.
394
00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:11,285
That's all you have to do.
395
00:14:11,385 --> 00:14:13,887
All these dogs up for adoption,
put them in the airport.
396
00:14:14,054 --> 00:14:15,055
TREVOR NOAH: It's
just in the mind?
397
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:17,357
Yes, the illusion
of security,
398
00:14:17,457 --> 00:14:18,592
that's all you've
got to do is make
399
00:14:18,692 --> 00:14:20,093
people think your stuff's--
I got a car.
400
00:14:20,194 --> 00:14:21,094
It ain't got no car alarm.
401
00:14:21,195 --> 00:14:22,863
People walk past my car.
I beep, beep!
402
00:14:22,963 --> 00:14:24,064
I make the noise with my mouth.
403
00:14:24,164 --> 00:14:26,533
[laughter]
404
00:14:26,633 --> 00:14:28,535
That's all you gotta do.
405
00:14:28,635 --> 00:14:32,072
Plus, we ain't got to really
worry about bomb-sniffing dogs
406
00:14:32,172 --> 00:14:34,508
because let you tell it,
the bomb-sniffing dogs
407
00:14:34,608 --> 00:14:37,110
will eventually be replaced
by robot dogs, right?
408
00:14:37,211 --> 00:14:38,478
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah, probably.
409
00:14:38,579 --> 00:14:42,082
And then robot dogs will be
operated by fully robot cops.
410
00:14:42,182 --> 00:14:44,585
And, eventually, one
of those robot cops
411
00:14:44,685 --> 00:14:46,653
will go haywire and
kill a bunch of people
412
00:14:46,753 --> 00:14:47,921
because it needed drugs.
413
00:14:48,088 --> 00:14:50,924
And the only way to
stop a crazy robot cop
414
00:14:51,091 --> 00:14:54,428
is to get a brave robot cop to
jump on the back of that robot
415
00:14:54,528 --> 00:14:56,096
cop and pull off
his access panel,
416
00:14:56,129 --> 00:14:58,232
get into the neural
cortex, pull out the brain,
417
00:14:58,332 --> 00:15:00,467
and bash the brain
on the ground.
418
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,736
[cheering]
419
00:15:02,836 --> 00:15:07,541
That's how you stop
the crazy robot cop.
420
00:15:07,641 --> 00:15:10,711
I feel like that's
the plot of RoboCop 2.
421
00:15:10,811 --> 00:15:11,845
Yes!
422
00:15:11,945 --> 00:15:15,782
Based on the life of
officer Alex J. Murphy!
423
00:15:15,883 --> 00:15:17,885
RoboCop 2 was a brave biopic!
424
00:15:18,051 --> 00:15:19,653
How do you not know
this shit, man?
425
00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:21,288
I thought you was educated.
426
00:15:21,388 --> 00:15:22,289
Man, let me just do
the traffic, man.
427
00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:23,290
You know what?
428
00:15:23,390 --> 00:15:24,491
Actually, we don't
have the time.
429
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:25,526
Roy Wood, Jr., everybody.
- No, no, we got time.
430
00:15:25,626 --> 00:15:26,527
We got time.
- We don't have the time.
431
00:15:26,627 --> 00:15:27,761
You got time.
432
00:15:27,861 --> 00:15:29,062
We should get a
robot to do this.
433
00:15:29,096 --> 00:15:30,230
ROY WOOD, JR.:
Only need a second.
434
00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:31,532
All right, don't go away.
435
00:15:31,632 --> 00:15:32,666
Because when we come back,
we're going to tell you how
436
00:15:32,766 --> 00:15:34,401
you can kill yourself legally.
437
00:15:34,501 --> 00:15:36,136
And Gabrielle Union is
joining us on the show.
438
00:15:36,236 --> 00:15:37,104
So don't go away.
439
00:15:37,204 --> 00:15:40,874
[cheering]
440
00:15:46,814 --> 00:15:53,254
[cheering]
441
00:15:56,357 --> 00:15:58,159
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
442
00:15:58,259 --> 00:16:01,128
My first guest tonight is
an internationally-acclaimed
443
00:16:01,229 --> 00:16:04,632
filmmaker whose latest film
is about her father, who chose
444
00:16:04,732 --> 00:16:08,002
to die at the age of
92, and the California's
445
00:16:08,102 --> 00:16:09,837
End of Life Option Act.
446
00:16:09,937 --> 00:16:12,607
The film is called
Last Flight Home,
447
00:16:12,707 --> 00:16:14,709
and it's streaming
on Paramount Plus.
448
00:16:14,809 --> 00:16:21,816
I want to ask for advice on,
like, how to live your life.
449
00:16:22,884 --> 00:16:29,891
Mm-hmm.
450
00:16:42,904 --> 00:16:45,039
Please, welcome Ondi Timoner.
451
00:16:45,139 --> 00:16:48,009
[music playing]
452
00:16:48,109 --> 00:16:55,116
[cheering]
453
00:16:57,552 --> 00:16:59,020
Ondi Timoner, welcome
to The Daily Show.
454
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,454
Thank you for having me.
455
00:17:00,555 --> 00:17:03,057
You know, the clip that
we play from the movie--
456
00:17:03,157 --> 00:17:04,225
we can only play
a clip because we
457
00:17:04,325 --> 00:17:05,493
can't play the whole
movie-- makes it
458
00:17:05,593 --> 00:17:06,994
seem like this is a sad story.
459
00:17:07,094 --> 00:17:08,429
It even sounds
like a sad story.
460
00:17:08,462 --> 00:17:11,732
If you tell anybody that
somebody made a film
461
00:17:11,832 --> 00:17:15,603
about their father choosing to
end their own life, you'd go,
462
00:17:15,703 --> 00:17:18,239
this is a sad story
that, well, no one
463
00:17:18,339 --> 00:17:19,440
might even want to watch.
464
00:17:19,473 --> 00:17:20,474
Why would I want to?
465
00:17:20,575 --> 00:17:23,244
And yet I feel like
it's an inspiring story.
466
00:17:23,344 --> 00:17:24,612
It's a beautiful story.
467
00:17:24,712 --> 00:17:25,880
It's a funny story.
468
00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:28,950
It's made me see life in a
completely different way.
469
00:17:29,050 --> 00:17:30,918
So let's talk a little
bit about your dad.
470
00:17:31,018 --> 00:17:33,721
I mean, he has lived
quite the life.
471
00:17:33,821 --> 00:17:36,457
There are few human beings
who can say that they have
472
00:17:36,490 --> 00:17:40,228
personally known kings and
princesses, somebody who
473
00:17:40,328 --> 00:17:42,230
started their own
airline essentially,
474
00:17:42,330 --> 00:17:43,531
somebody who's
running an airline,
475
00:17:43,631 --> 00:17:46,100
getting low-cost airlines
for people to fly around,
476
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,735
wanting everybody to
be able to travel,
477
00:17:47,835 --> 00:17:51,539
having this infectious attitude
that lit up every single room.
478
00:17:51,639 --> 00:17:54,041
We see you
chronicling this life.
479
00:17:54,141 --> 00:17:55,810
We see you telling
us the story.
480
00:17:55,910 --> 00:17:58,212
And we also see how
quickly it can change.
481
00:17:58,312 --> 00:17:59,914
Your father was 50--
482
00:18:00,014 --> 00:18:00,915
how--
483
00:18:01,015 --> 00:18:01,949
53.
484
00:18:02,049 --> 00:18:03,584
TREVOR NOAH: 53, and
then had a stroke,
485
00:18:03,684 --> 00:18:04,585
and everything changed.
486
00:18:04,685 --> 00:18:06,521
Yeah he went
in for a massage,
487
00:18:06,621 --> 00:18:08,256
and his neck was manipulated.
488
00:18:08,422 --> 00:18:10,858
And and 10 minutes later--
he was in perfect health.
489
00:18:10,958 --> 00:18:12,560
I mean, he had run 6
miles that morning,
490
00:18:12,660 --> 00:18:14,862
and at the height
of his career.
491
00:18:14,962 --> 00:18:16,197
He had the fastest
growing airline
492
00:18:16,297 --> 00:18:17,431
in the history of the world.
493
00:18:17,532 --> 00:18:19,467
And he led with love.
494
00:18:19,567 --> 00:18:20,868
He led with love and kindness.
495
00:18:20,968 --> 00:18:23,738
And the airline just was
really at its height.
496
00:18:23,838 --> 00:18:25,473
And then he was ousted.
497
00:18:25,573 --> 00:18:27,742
There were no rights for
the disabled at that point.
498
00:18:27,842 --> 00:18:28,743
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
499
00:18:28,843 --> 00:18:30,311
And lost everything
financially
500
00:18:30,444 --> 00:18:31,646
and all his social standing.
501
00:18:31,746 --> 00:18:34,248
But the greatest thing about
dad is he never complained.
502
00:18:34,348 --> 00:18:35,616
He just rooted for all of us.
503
00:18:35,716 --> 00:18:37,885
He was paralyzed for 40 years.
504
00:18:37,985 --> 00:18:40,655
But he suffered with
such grace, you know?
505
00:18:40,755 --> 00:18:43,324
So when he said he
needed to die at the end,
506
00:18:43,457 --> 00:18:45,459
it was something we
all had to get behind.
507
00:18:45,526 --> 00:18:47,061
And thank god for that law.
508
00:18:47,161 --> 00:18:48,496
The law was a gift.
509
00:18:48,596 --> 00:18:50,198
We didn't know there
was a right to die.
510
00:18:50,298 --> 00:18:51,265
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
511
00:18:51,399 --> 00:18:53,901
A medically-assisted
death in California.
512
00:18:54,001 --> 00:18:56,704
It's only in the nine
states in America.
513
00:18:56,804 --> 00:18:58,239
You know, we expected
dad to be there forever.
514
00:18:58,406 --> 00:18:59,240
I don't know.
515
00:18:59,407 --> 00:19:00,775
We just never thought about it.
516
00:19:00,875 --> 00:19:02,510
He always said he'd
be there forever.
517
00:19:02,610 --> 00:19:05,112
And, suddenly, he was
not going to walk again.
518
00:19:05,213 --> 00:19:07,415
He had been put in the
hospital for breathing issues,
519
00:19:07,481 --> 00:19:10,651
and not to do with COVID,
but he was isolated in there.
520
00:19:10,751 --> 00:19:11,719
He was terrified.
521
00:19:11,819 --> 00:19:13,788
And he wanted to go,
and he needed to go.
522
00:19:13,888 --> 00:19:15,923
And my brother found this law.
523
00:19:16,023 --> 00:19:16,891
And it was a gift.
524
00:19:16,991 --> 00:19:19,193
I mean, having
these 15 days, it
525
00:19:19,293 --> 00:19:21,696
allowed us to really
celebrate his life
526
00:19:21,796 --> 00:19:26,000
and to really look
at his achievements
527
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:29,770
and also to help him through
a shame that he deeply held.
528
00:19:29,871 --> 00:19:32,874
My sister, who's a rabbi, came
with these age-old rituals.
529
00:19:32,974 --> 00:19:34,809
And we all kind
of came together.
530
00:19:34,909 --> 00:19:39,180
You know, like, dad was
an exemplary human being.
531
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,649
And he showed us how to
love and how to live.
532
00:19:41,749 --> 00:19:45,553
And so, yeah, it was
terrifying, but also
533
00:19:45,653 --> 00:19:47,421
the most beautiful and
sacred space any of us
534
00:19:47,522 --> 00:19:48,623
had ever been in.
535
00:19:48,723 --> 00:19:50,391
It really is a story
that touches on everything.
536
00:19:50,424 --> 00:19:52,894
Because, as you said,
one part of the story
537
00:19:52,994 --> 00:19:56,764
gets into how much
people with disabilities
538
00:19:56,864 --> 00:19:59,133
lose not just their
income, but their access
539
00:19:59,233 --> 00:20:00,535
to a life of dignity.
540
00:20:00,635 --> 00:20:01,969
You know, your father
experienced that when
541
00:20:02,069 --> 00:20:03,571
he's pushed out of a
company that he was running
542
00:20:03,671 --> 00:20:04,872
successfully because
they didn't like
543
00:20:04,972 --> 00:20:07,575
the optics of a person in
a wheelchair running this
544
00:20:07,675 --> 00:20:08,776
company, even though he could.
545
00:20:08,876 --> 00:20:10,144
We see him lose everything.
546
00:20:10,244 --> 00:20:12,213
We get into that conversation.
547
00:20:12,313 --> 00:20:13,781
Then we get into
the conversations
548
00:20:13,881 --> 00:20:15,683
around the morality.
549
00:20:15,783 --> 00:20:17,852
And it's interesting that
you bring up the fact
550
00:20:17,952 --> 00:20:20,488
that your sister is a
rabbi, and how so many of us
551
00:20:20,588 --> 00:20:22,823
have these ideas of how
your life should end
552
00:20:22,924 --> 00:20:24,125
or shouldn't end.
553
00:20:24,225 --> 00:20:26,460
It's not your decision, but
there's a line in the film
554
00:20:26,561 --> 00:20:28,596
that someone says where
they say, none of us
555
00:20:28,696 --> 00:20:30,565
chooses how to come
into this world,
556
00:20:30,665 --> 00:20:33,834
but we should be allowed to
choose how and when we leave.
557
00:20:33,935 --> 00:20:36,270
And for many people, that's
a controversial statement.
558
00:20:36,437 --> 00:20:38,105
I know that the family
was on a journey.
559
00:20:38,206 --> 00:20:40,208
And I would love to
know, what changed
560
00:20:40,308 --> 00:20:42,443
some people's minds
about your dad
561
00:20:42,543 --> 00:20:44,011
being able to make that choice?
562
00:20:44,111 --> 00:20:49,383
You know, it was dad's spirit
that was just so uplifted
563
00:20:49,483 --> 00:20:53,087
by finally having
agency and power to make
564
00:20:53,187 --> 00:20:55,623
a determination
over his own body
565
00:20:55,723 --> 00:20:57,892
and what would happen
with his own life.
566
00:20:57,992 --> 00:21:01,395
It was just an incredible
shift that happened.
567
00:21:01,495 --> 00:21:02,763
And we all saw it.
568
00:21:02,864 --> 00:21:05,533
And, I mean, I am
very passionate now,
569
00:21:05,633 --> 00:21:08,569
and our whole family is,
that this law be passed
570
00:21:08,669 --> 00:21:09,804
in every state
where it's been--
571
00:21:09,904 --> 00:21:11,606
because I think it's in front
of 22 state legislatures
572
00:21:11,706 --> 00:21:12,607
right now.
573
00:21:12,707 --> 00:21:13,941
It's not a law
here in New York,
574
00:21:14,041 --> 00:21:15,543
but it's a basic human right.
575
00:21:15,643 --> 00:21:17,278
It's a basic human right.
576
00:21:17,411 --> 00:21:19,013
Who should make
that determination?
577
00:21:19,113 --> 00:21:22,283
And even when the film--
578
00:21:22,416 --> 00:21:25,186
I was terrified sharing
my family at this--
579
00:21:25,286 --> 00:21:26,821
their most raw and
vulnerable, but especially
580
00:21:26,921 --> 00:21:27,955
for my sister, who's a rabbi.
581
00:21:28,055 --> 00:21:29,223
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
582
00:21:29,323 --> 00:21:32,727
Because it was against
Jewish law for the millennia.
583
00:21:32,827 --> 00:21:35,496
You know, you can't
end your life.
584
00:21:35,596 --> 00:21:36,831
They've since reversed
that decision.
585
00:21:36,931 --> 00:21:37,832
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
586
00:21:37,932 --> 00:21:39,100
Yeah, they've
reversed that law.
587
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,101
Yeah.
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
588
00:21:40,201 --> 00:21:41,102
Yeah.
589
00:21:41,202 --> 00:21:42,537
[applause]
590
00:21:42,637 --> 00:21:43,671
Reform Judaism has.
591
00:21:43,771 --> 00:21:44,805
Wow.
592
00:21:44,906 --> 00:21:47,074
And the reason they say,
a law without tenderness
593
00:21:47,174 --> 00:21:48,142
is wickedness.
594
00:21:48,242 --> 00:21:50,378
And that when the
rabbis wrote that law,
595
00:21:50,411 --> 00:21:53,047
suffering lasted
maybe five days
596
00:21:53,147 --> 00:21:54,048
with your terminal illness.
597
00:21:54,148 --> 00:21:55,216
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
598
00:21:55,383 --> 00:21:56,817
But now there are
thousands, tens of thousands
599
00:21:56,918 --> 00:21:59,387
of terminally ill patients
who need-- and their families
600
00:21:59,420 --> 00:22:00,788
who should have this right.
601
00:22:00,888 --> 00:22:02,723
It's compassionate.
602
00:22:02,823 --> 00:22:04,125
TREVOR NOAH: It's a
really powerful story.
603
00:22:04,225 --> 00:22:06,260
[applause]
604
00:22:06,394 --> 00:22:09,797
And, like, I can see--
605
00:22:09,897 --> 00:22:11,699
when you watch it,
you can see why
606
00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:14,068
the film is getting Oscar buzz
because it's made so well.
607
00:22:14,168 --> 00:22:15,736
Congratulations,
honestly, because you
608
00:22:15,836 --> 00:22:17,071
bring us into a world where--
609
00:22:17,171 --> 00:22:18,439
Thank you.
610
00:22:18,539 --> 00:22:20,942
Really, you bring us into a
world that's really gripping.
611
00:22:21,042 --> 00:22:23,044
It feels like we're
there with your family.
612
00:22:23,144 --> 00:22:24,445
I feel like I know your family.
613
00:22:24,545 --> 00:22:27,215
Your dad seems like
the wisest human being.
614
00:22:27,315 --> 00:22:28,749
There was, like, no
moment where he goes
615
00:22:28,850 --> 00:22:30,952
like, I don't really know.
616
00:22:31,052 --> 00:22:32,153
He just says things.
617
00:22:32,253 --> 00:22:34,589
He answers so confidently
and also so earnestly
618
00:22:34,689 --> 00:22:35,857
as well and so honestly.
619
00:22:35,957 --> 00:22:39,760
And one of the most amazing
aspects in it for me
620
00:22:39,861 --> 00:22:42,563
is him talking to his wife.
621
00:22:42,663 --> 00:22:45,032
And they're having
this conversation.
622
00:22:45,132 --> 00:22:47,435
And it's so
fascinating to see what
623
00:22:47,535 --> 00:22:50,371
happens when people also have
the chance to say goodbye.
624
00:22:50,471 --> 00:22:51,372
You know?
625
00:22:51,472 --> 00:22:53,040
Where people have
the chance to say,
626
00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:54,709
this is how I wish
for it to end.
627
00:22:54,809 --> 00:22:56,277
I wish to still
have this dignity
628
00:22:56,377 --> 00:22:57,378
and to have this moment.
629
00:22:57,445 --> 00:22:59,747
But talk me through
that before you go,
630
00:22:59,847 --> 00:23:02,383
just that part of
their love story
631
00:23:02,483 --> 00:23:06,521
and witnessing that, which
many children never get to see.
632
00:23:06,621 --> 00:23:08,723
This is a double
happiness heart
633
00:23:08,823 --> 00:23:13,060
that mom bought for dad and
for their one-year anniversary.
634
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,229
And they broke it in half,
and each wore one half.
635
00:23:15,396 --> 00:23:16,230
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
636
00:23:16,397 --> 00:23:18,199
Yeah, so I wear
it for good luck
637
00:23:18,299 --> 00:23:19,233
and just to keep them close.
638
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,234
[applause]
639
00:23:20,401 --> 00:23:21,302
Yeah, yeah.
640
00:23:21,402 --> 00:23:24,038
She's a phenomenal woman.
641
00:23:24,138 --> 00:23:25,506
She's a phenomenal woman.
642
00:23:25,606 --> 00:23:27,408
You know, 54 years
they were together.
643
00:23:27,508 --> 00:23:29,277
17 of those, he
was able-bodied,
644
00:23:29,410 --> 00:23:30,578
and she was jet setting.
645
00:23:30,678 --> 00:23:34,048
And the rest, she
was caregiving.
646
00:23:34,148 --> 00:23:36,117
We were just doing a
Q&A together last night.
647
00:23:36,217 --> 00:23:37,752
She's 84 years old.
She's such a firecracker.
648
00:23:37,852 --> 00:23:38,753
She really is.
649
00:23:38,853 --> 00:23:40,221
She really is.
650
00:23:40,321 --> 00:23:44,292
But, you know, the filmmaking
wasn't really the main event.
651
00:23:44,425 --> 00:23:46,861
The main event was getting
mom to face the fact
652
00:23:46,961 --> 00:23:49,931
that her partner of this many
years was going to be gone
653
00:23:50,031 --> 00:23:51,799
and to really spend
time with him.
654
00:23:51,899 --> 00:23:54,368
And it was hard with all
the hospice workers around
655
00:23:54,402 --> 00:23:57,371
and everyone around to
kind of get her to zero in.
656
00:23:57,405 --> 00:23:59,740
But she finally did
face it at the end.
657
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,008
And she's seen the film.
658
00:24:01,108 --> 00:24:03,778
She watched the film every
day for a year first year
659
00:24:03,878 --> 00:24:04,779
he was gone.
660
00:24:04,879 --> 00:24:05,813
TREVOR NOAH: Are you serious?
661
00:24:05,913 --> 00:24:07,181
Yeah, she watched
it-- she watches it,
662
00:24:07,281 --> 00:24:08,916
like, a few times a week just
to spend time with him now.
663
00:24:09,016 --> 00:24:09,984
- I can see why.
- Yeah.
664
00:24:10,084 --> 00:24:11,219
I can see why.
665
00:24:11,385 --> 00:24:12,887
Honestly, you have captured
a human being in a way
666
00:24:12,987 --> 00:24:14,622
that few films have
captured anybody.
667
00:24:14,722 --> 00:24:16,624
You've told a story that I
think millions of people,
668
00:24:16,724 --> 00:24:19,460
not just in America, but around
the world will connect with.
669
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,595
And congratulations.
670
00:24:20,695 --> 00:24:21,462
Thank you so much for
joining me on the show.
671
00:24:21,562 --> 00:24:22,463
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
672
00:24:22,563 --> 00:24:23,464
Wonderful having you on.
673
00:24:23,564 --> 00:24:25,066
Really appreciate it.
674
00:24:25,166 --> 00:24:26,400
Make sure to catch the film.
675
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:28,069
It is truly spectacular
on Paramount Plus.
676
00:24:28,169 --> 00:24:29,170
All right, stay tuned.
677
00:24:29,270 --> 00:24:30,771
Because when we come
back, Gabrielle Union
678
00:24:30,872 --> 00:24:32,173
will be joining me
right here on the show.
679
00:24:32,273 --> 00:24:33,174
Don't go away.
680
00:24:33,274 --> 00:24:36,711
[cheering]
681
00:24:41,949 --> 00:24:46,954
[cheering]
682
00:24:47,054 --> 00:24:49,056
Welcome back to
the Daily Show.
683
00:24:49,156 --> 00:24:51,892
My next guest is an
actor, a producer,
684
00:24:51,993 --> 00:24:53,327
and a best-selling author.
685
00:24:53,427 --> 00:24:56,430
She was just nominated for
an Independent Spirit Award
686
00:24:56,530 --> 00:24:59,066
for her role in the new
film, The Inspection,
687
00:24:59,166 --> 00:25:01,936
which is now in select
theaters and opens nationwide,
688
00:25:02,036 --> 00:25:03,104
December 2nd.
689
00:25:03,204 --> 00:25:04,572
[video playback]
690
00:25:04,672 --> 00:25:07,808
[music playing]
691
00:25:07,908 --> 00:25:14,782
This little piece of
paper, it's all I have left
692
00:25:14,882 --> 00:25:21,889
of the dream I held for you.
693
00:25:23,791 --> 00:25:28,529
I you don't come back,
the son I gave birth to--
694
00:25:28,629 --> 00:25:30,398
consider the certificate void.
695
00:25:30,498 --> 00:25:31,632
[end video playback]
696
00:25:31,732 --> 00:25:34,001
Please welcome,
Gabrielle Union.
697
00:25:34,101 --> 00:25:36,971
[music playing]
698
00:25:37,071 --> 00:25:44,078
[cheering]
699
00:25:53,154 --> 00:25:54,055
Thank you.
700
00:25:54,155 --> 00:25:55,056
Thank you, guys.
701
00:25:55,156 --> 00:25:56,457
- As I live and breathe.
- Oh.
702
00:25:56,557 --> 00:25:57,725
Well, well, well.
703
00:25:57,825 --> 00:25:58,859
TREVOR NOAH: One of my
favorite people in the world.
704
00:25:58,959 --> 00:26:00,428
Gabrielle Union, welcome
back to The Daily Show.
705
00:26:00,561 --> 00:26:02,196
How ya been?
[cheering]
706
00:26:02,296 --> 00:26:03,798
I've been wonderful.
707
00:26:03,898 --> 00:26:05,666
I've been wonderful.
708
00:26:05,766 --> 00:26:07,201
Is that Africa I smell on you?
What is that?
709
00:26:07,301 --> 00:26:08,235
It is.
TREVOR NOAH: What is that?
710
00:26:08,336 --> 00:26:09,236
What is that.
- It is.
711
00:26:09,337 --> 00:26:10,237
TREVOR NOAH: Mm.
712
00:26:10,338 --> 00:26:11,272
That aroma is so
familiar to me.
713
00:26:11,372 --> 00:26:14,775
[singing "circle of life"]
714
00:26:14,875 --> 00:26:16,310
What is happening here?
715
00:26:16,410 --> 00:26:17,878
How was your trip?
You just got back, right?
716
00:26:17,978 --> 00:26:19,046
- It was amazing.
- Yes.
717
00:26:19,146 --> 00:26:20,147
It was amazing.
718
00:26:20,247 --> 00:26:21,682
You know, of course,
I had called Trev,
719
00:26:21,782 --> 00:26:23,951
as one does when you
go to the motherland,
720
00:26:24,051 --> 00:26:24,952
and I was like,
tell me where to go.
721
00:26:25,052 --> 00:26:25,953
TREVOR NOAH: You
say as one does,
722
00:26:26,053 --> 00:26:26,954
like everyone just
calls, Trevor,
723
00:26:27,054 --> 00:26:28,789
I'm going to Africa, OK?
724
00:26:28,889 --> 00:26:30,324
Well, I feel like
you pick up the phone.
725
00:26:30,424 --> 00:26:31,325
I do.
I do.
726
00:26:31,425 --> 00:26:32,593
You do.
You actually pick up the phone.
727
00:26:32,693 --> 00:26:33,828
I do.
728
00:26:33,928 --> 00:26:35,096
You're like hey,
hey, yeah, let
729
00:26:35,196 --> 00:26:36,364
me give you some suggestions.
730
00:26:36,464 --> 00:26:37,732
But we started off
in Tanzania, then
731
00:26:37,832 --> 00:26:39,467
went to Ghana, then Namibia,
and then to your home country.
732
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:40,968
- That is amazing.
- Yeah.
733
00:26:41,068 --> 00:26:42,269
But this was a
different trip.
734
00:26:42,370 --> 00:26:43,838
This was a big trip,
because you were learning,
735
00:26:43,938 --> 00:26:45,639
you were exploring, you
were also celebrating.
736
00:26:45,740 --> 00:26:47,875
They wrote 50th birthday,
but that's not right though.
737
00:26:47,975 --> 00:26:49,744
Yeah, yeah, 50th.
738
00:26:49,844 --> 00:26:51,212
[sounds of disbelief]
AUDIENCE: Damn.
739
00:26:51,312 --> 00:26:52,213
[cheering]
740
00:26:52,313 --> 00:26:55,149
Yes.
741
00:26:55,249 --> 00:26:57,585
Yeah.
742
00:26:57,685 --> 00:27:04,191
[inaudible] You've
seen me drop it low,
743
00:27:04,291 --> 00:27:06,861
Trevor, and you see how long
it takes me to get back up.
744
00:27:06,961 --> 00:27:07,862
[laughing]
745
00:27:07,962 --> 00:27:08,963
So you know.
746
00:27:09,063 --> 00:27:11,032
You know my hips are
like, yo, no, she's 50.
747
00:27:11,132 --> 00:27:12,033
TREVOR NOAH: Oh, please.
748
00:27:12,133 --> 00:27:13,167
Please, I don't think so.
749
00:27:13,267 --> 00:27:14,935
I feel like you are
one of those people
750
00:27:15,036 --> 00:27:16,070
who is eternally young.
751
00:27:16,170 --> 00:27:18,572
You are-- you-- you're
so curious about life.
752
00:27:18,639 --> 00:27:20,574
You know, everything
you do, whether it's
753
00:27:20,641 --> 00:27:23,678
in the writing of your books,
whether it's in how you travel
754
00:27:23,778 --> 00:27:25,579
the world, what projects
you engage yourself,
755
00:27:25,646 --> 00:27:27,882
in Broadway
productions, I mean,
756
00:27:27,982 --> 00:27:30,251
this film is another
example of that.
757
00:27:30,351 --> 00:27:32,887
We've seen Gabrielle
Union in so many
758
00:27:32,987 --> 00:27:35,056
different types of movies.
759
00:27:35,156 --> 00:27:37,725
Forgive me if I'm
wrong in saying this,
760
00:27:37,825 --> 00:27:40,027
but I've never
seen you like this.
761
00:27:40,127 --> 00:27:41,996
I've never seen you
in a role like this.
762
00:27:42,096 --> 00:27:44,165
I can see why
people are saying,
763
00:27:44,265 --> 00:27:46,901
oh, man, if the Oscars are
not watching this movie,
764
00:27:47,001 --> 00:27:50,538
then they're not watching
movies, because you play
765
00:27:50,571 --> 00:27:55,076
a character in a movie that
is so touching, painful,
766
00:27:55,176 --> 00:27:56,143
and brilliant.
767
00:27:56,243 --> 00:27:59,080
And it's the story
of a young Black man,
768
00:27:59,180 --> 00:28:01,549
as we saw just in
that preview, whose
769
00:28:01,649 --> 00:28:04,752
mother basically says
because you are gay,
770
00:28:04,852 --> 00:28:06,354
I'm going to disown you.
771
00:28:06,454 --> 00:28:08,556
And he goes off to
join the Marines.
772
00:28:08,656 --> 00:28:11,592
And her hope is that this
will turn him straight.
773
00:28:11,692 --> 00:28:15,129
Talk me through how you
even get into this project
774
00:28:15,229 --> 00:28:16,964
and everything
that the story was,
775
00:28:17,064 --> 00:28:19,467
because it has a lot
more to do with real life
776
00:28:19,567 --> 00:28:20,835
than most people would think.
777
00:28:20,935 --> 00:28:24,572
Way too much to do with
real life than I'd like.
778
00:28:24,672 --> 00:28:28,476
Elegance Bratton, our
director, writer, producer,
779
00:28:28,576 --> 00:28:30,144
he came to me, sent
me this script,
780
00:28:30,244 --> 00:28:31,846
him along with Effie Brown,
and they're like, what
781
00:28:31,946 --> 00:28:32,847
do you think of the script.
782
00:28:32,947 --> 00:28:33,881
I was like, this is a winner.
783
00:28:33,981 --> 00:28:36,050
I absolutely want to
be a part of this.
784
00:28:36,150 --> 00:28:38,352
I will come on as an
executive producer.
785
00:28:38,452 --> 00:28:39,987
I know how I can be additive.
786
00:28:40,087 --> 00:28:41,856
And he's like, great.
787
00:28:41,956 --> 00:28:43,724
I want you to play my mother.
788
00:28:43,824 --> 00:28:46,227
And I was like, ugh.
789
00:28:46,327 --> 00:28:49,897
I tend to, you know,
when I come across people
790
00:28:49,997 --> 00:28:54,368
who behave and speak like this,
I tend to read them for filth.
791
00:28:54,535 --> 00:28:58,572
I tend to not be inspired to
want to play them in a film.
792
00:28:58,673 --> 00:29:00,908
And I just didn't think
that I was the right fit.
793
00:29:01,008 --> 00:29:02,610
And he said, no,
it has to be you.
794
00:29:02,710 --> 00:29:04,545
It can only be you.
795
00:29:04,578 --> 00:29:08,182
And later, I came to find
out that him and his mom
796
00:29:08,282 --> 00:29:10,117
had been estranged
for about 18 years.
797
00:29:10,217 --> 00:29:11,452
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
798
00:29:11,552 --> 00:29:15,823
And he knew that I was
one of his mom's favorites.
799
00:29:15,923 --> 00:29:20,161
And he knew that if I played
her, she couldn't deny him,
800
00:29:20,261 --> 00:29:22,096
and she would reconnect.
801
00:29:22,196 --> 00:29:23,097
[cheering]
802
00:29:23,197 --> 00:29:28,336
Woo.
803
00:29:28,436 --> 00:29:32,606
Unfortunately, we got
green lit February 14, 2020.
804
00:29:32,707 --> 00:29:36,277
His mom passed
February 18, 2020.
805
00:29:36,377 --> 00:29:37,278
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
806
00:29:37,378 --> 00:29:39,747
So I'm not only
playing a real person,
807
00:29:39,847 --> 00:29:42,717
I'm playing my director
and writer's mother,
808
00:29:42,817 --> 00:29:45,920
who has passed and they've had
a pretty fraught relationship.
809
00:29:46,020 --> 00:29:47,722
And I just wasn't--
810
00:29:47,822 --> 00:29:50,524
I just wasn't sure this was
the right time for any of us.
811
00:29:50,591 --> 00:29:51,625
And he assured me.
812
00:29:51,726 --> 00:29:53,894
He said, no, we have
to tell this story.
813
00:29:53,995 --> 00:29:54,895
We have to tell the story.
814
00:29:54,996 --> 00:29:57,531
And we know that
you can do this.
815
00:29:57,565 --> 00:29:59,000
I was like--
816
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:00,334
And he was like,
you know the Black
817
00:30:00,434 --> 00:30:02,236
community has known that you've
had the range to do this.
818
00:30:02,336 --> 00:30:03,537
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
819
00:30:03,571 --> 00:30:06,140
And I had to admit to
myself that I had put myself
820
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,844
in a cage, in a box, and
decided what I could do
821
00:30:09,944 --> 00:30:11,112
and couldn't do.
822
00:30:11,212 --> 00:30:12,380
TREVOR NOAH: You had typecast
yourself and the roles
823
00:30:12,546 --> 00:30:13,647
that you could play
because of the roles
824
00:30:13,748 --> 00:30:15,216
that were afforded to you.
- Absolutely.
825
00:30:15,316 --> 00:30:16,250
Right.
826
00:30:16,350 --> 00:30:17,852
So I had to break
out and give myself
827
00:30:17,952 --> 00:30:20,287
the opportunity to try to--
828
00:30:20,388 --> 00:30:21,555
I don't know-- to try to grow.
829
00:30:21,656 --> 00:30:23,457
- Was it scary?
- It's terrifying.
830
00:30:23,557 --> 00:30:24,859
It's absolutely terrifying.
831
00:30:24,959 --> 00:30:28,562
I don't want to ruin this man's
story with pulling like a ISIS
832
00:30:28,663 --> 00:30:29,930
from Bring It On, you know.
833
00:30:30,031 --> 00:30:30,931
I--
834
00:30:31,032 --> 00:30:32,933
[laughing]
835
00:30:33,034 --> 00:30:35,403
I don't know what he's
expecting, you know.
836
00:30:35,569 --> 00:30:37,304
[cheering]
837
00:30:37,405 --> 00:30:39,340
And yet-- and
yet, I feel like--
838
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,143
I feel like, you know,
it seems so perfect
839
00:30:42,243 --> 00:30:44,845
and it seems so obvious
now, because when you see
840
00:30:44,945 --> 00:30:47,515
you in the film, I can see--
841
00:30:47,548 --> 00:30:49,016
I can see what he saw.
842
00:30:49,116 --> 00:30:51,285
And it's interesting,
I would love
843
00:30:51,385 --> 00:30:53,521
to know how your
opinion of his mom
844
00:30:53,587 --> 00:30:55,823
changed in hearing his
story and his side of it.
845
00:30:55,923 --> 00:30:57,792
Because to your point,
there are many scripts,
846
00:30:57,892 --> 00:31:00,027
and there are many stories,
that are told of people
847
00:31:00,127 --> 00:31:02,096
that give us an idea of them.
848
00:31:02,196 --> 00:31:04,532
And then, once we're
forced to be them,
849
00:31:04,565 --> 00:31:06,534
in some way, once we're
forced to empathize
850
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,804
and get into their lives,
our opinion of them changes.
851
00:31:09,904 --> 00:31:11,439
Talk me through that
change, because you
852
00:31:11,539 --> 00:31:13,941
don't play her like
somebody that you hate.
853
00:31:14,041 --> 00:31:16,143
You don't play her like
somebody that we even hate.
854
00:31:16,243 --> 00:31:18,579
So I'd love to know what
you understand differently
855
00:31:18,679 --> 00:31:20,448
about her that doesn't
condone her views
856
00:31:20,548 --> 00:31:24,051
on her son being
gay, but in some way
857
00:31:24,151 --> 00:31:25,553
creates empathy in us for her.
858
00:31:25,619 --> 00:31:27,254
I had to find her humanity.
859
00:31:27,355 --> 00:31:29,790
And I had to figure out how
to keep the love not just
860
00:31:29,890 --> 00:31:32,293
on the set as a
producer, but the love
861
00:31:32,393 --> 00:31:33,694
between these characters.
862
00:31:33,794 --> 00:31:36,297
And the more I talk to parents
who struggle in the way
863
00:31:36,397 --> 00:31:38,599
that she struggles,
they-- none of them
864
00:31:38,699 --> 00:31:41,202
deny that they love
their children deeply.
865
00:31:41,302 --> 00:31:44,905
And a lot of them truly believe
that by rejecting their child,
866
00:31:45,006 --> 00:31:48,509
or denying their identity,
which unfortunately denies
867
00:31:48,576 --> 00:31:52,146
their humanity, is the
way to love them properly,
868
00:31:52,246 --> 00:31:55,916
is the way to protect them,
is the way to save them, which
869
00:31:56,017 --> 00:31:57,618
sounds very backwards, right.
870
00:31:57,718 --> 00:32:00,655
But that's-- firmly in their
hearts, they believe that.
871
00:32:00,755 --> 00:32:03,190
And the more I started
asking about her background--
872
00:32:03,290 --> 00:32:04,825
she was orphaned at 10.
873
00:32:04,925 --> 00:32:05,960
She was a top student.
874
00:32:06,060 --> 00:32:07,161
She was a top athlete.
875
00:32:07,261 --> 00:32:09,163
And she just wanted people
to think that she was
876
00:32:09,263 --> 00:32:11,666
good and worthy and deserving.
877
00:32:11,766 --> 00:32:15,236
And I was like, now
that's where I can relate.
878
00:32:15,336 --> 00:32:18,606
We have these
conversations often where
879
00:32:18,706 --> 00:32:22,543
all the shapeshifting that you
will do to get someone to say,
880
00:32:22,610 --> 00:32:25,579
oh yeah, you, right,
whether it's a relationship
881
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,882
or a business
opportunity or just how
882
00:32:27,982 --> 00:32:29,884
you move through the world
surviving as a person of color
883
00:32:29,984 --> 00:32:31,986
in this world.
884
00:32:32,086 --> 00:32:33,287
You will minimize yourself.
885
00:32:33,387 --> 00:32:35,289
You will barter
with anything to try
886
00:32:35,389 --> 00:32:36,791
to get this much
closer to the power
887
00:32:36,891 --> 00:32:38,693
structures or
opportunities or whatever.
888
00:32:38,793 --> 00:32:42,096
And that, we had in
common, because I've
889
00:32:42,196 --> 00:32:44,165
bartered with many
things, just not my kids.
890
00:32:44,265 --> 00:32:46,801
But I bartered with my
soul plenty of times.
891
00:32:46,901 --> 00:32:50,137
We talk about soul
sacrifices and those moments
892
00:32:50,237 --> 00:32:53,941
that you will never get back,
that live in your memory
893
00:32:54,041 --> 00:32:55,976
that you're ashamed of.
894
00:32:56,077 --> 00:32:58,346
And I had those as well.
895
00:32:58,512 --> 00:33:01,983
And I was like, OK, now I
figured out how I can get in.
896
00:33:02,083 --> 00:33:04,151
How do I keep the
love in this space,
897
00:33:04,251 --> 00:33:08,756
but still show that this is the
most unhealthy way of showing
898
00:33:08,856 --> 00:33:10,324
your love for your child?
TREVOR NOAH: Wow.
899
00:33:10,424 --> 00:33:11,525
Wow.
900
00:33:11,625 --> 00:33:12,860
And hopefully, I can be
a mirror to some parents.
901
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,428
I don't think--
I don't think hopefully.
902
00:33:14,528 --> 00:33:16,297
I think you will be.
903
00:33:16,397 --> 00:33:17,698
I think it's brilliant.
904
00:33:17,798 --> 00:33:18,699
I mean it's exceptional.
905
00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:19,900
The film is phenomenal.
906
00:33:20,001 --> 00:33:21,535
The story that you
tell is phenomenal.
907
00:33:21,602 --> 00:33:22,837
It is everything.
908
00:33:22,937 --> 00:33:26,707
And as I say, if the Oscars
people don't come knocking,
909
00:33:26,807 --> 00:33:28,309
I'm going to be free
in like a few weeks.
910
00:33:28,409 --> 00:33:29,744
I'm just going
to go chase them.
911
00:33:29,844 --> 00:33:31,545
You call me and
you let me know.
912
00:33:31,579 --> 00:33:32,713
You know I answer the phone.
913
00:33:32,813 --> 00:33:34,315
I'm going to chase the people.
You are phenomenal.
914
00:33:34,415 --> 00:33:35,416
Thank you so much for
joining me on the show again.
915
00:33:35,549 --> 00:33:36,417
- [inaudible]
- I love you so much.
916
00:33:36,550 --> 00:33:38,019
[inaudible]
[cheering]
917
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:40,354
Gabrielle Union, everybody.
918
00:33:40,454 --> 00:33:42,356
Make sure to catch the film.
919
00:33:42,490 --> 00:33:44,291
I promise you, you
will not regret it.
920
00:33:44,392 --> 00:33:45,493
We're going to
take a quick break.
921
00:33:45,526 --> 00:33:47,061
We'll be right back after this.
922
00:33:47,161 --> 00:33:50,498
[cheering]
923
00:33:58,138 --> 00:33:58,539
[applause]
924
00:33:58,639 --> 00:34:02,442
[cheering]
925
00:34:02,543 --> 00:34:03,810
Well, that's our
show for tonight.
926
00:34:03,911 --> 00:34:06,113
But before we go,
before we go, please
927
00:34:06,213 --> 00:34:08,815
consider donating to One
Simple Wish, a charity
928
00:34:08,916 --> 00:34:10,884
that grants wishes to
kids and young adults
929
00:34:10,984 --> 00:34:12,085
who are in foster care.
930
00:34:12,186 --> 00:34:13,520
If you want to
help grant a wish
931
00:34:13,620 --> 00:34:15,489
or donate towards their
holiday wish fund,
932
00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:17,591
then please do so
at the link below.
933
00:34:17,691 --> 00:34:19,459
Until next time,
stay safe out there.
934
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,931
And remember, don't get your
medical advice from Twitter.
935
00:34:24,031 --> 00:34:25,065
Use TikTok for that.
936
00:34:25,165 --> 00:34:27,334
Now here it is,
your moment of zen.
937
00:34:27,434 --> 00:34:30,571
[music playing]
938
00:34:30,671 --> 00:34:34,775
I used to have a
beagle named Roger.
939
00:34:34,875 --> 00:34:36,577
And Roger was a rascal.
940
00:34:36,677 --> 00:34:39,813
About every two weeks,
Roger would run off.
941
00:34:39,913 --> 00:34:43,317
He'd always come back, but
about half the time, he'd
942
00:34:43,417 --> 00:34:46,987
come back dragging
roadkill that he would
943
00:34:47,087 --> 00:34:49,389
hide under my back porch.
944
00:34:49,489 --> 00:34:51,725
President Biden's
energy policy looks
945
00:34:51,825 --> 00:34:56,196
like something Roger used
to keep under my back porch.
