1:02
season one of the January six Committee, plus
1:04
Oscar won A. Daniel Coloa is joining us on the show.
1:07
So let's do this people, Let's come straight. I think
1:09
you don't have okay.
1:17
Before we get into the big stories, let's
1:19
catch up on a few other things that are going
1:21
on. First of all, Vladimir
1:23
Putin has announced that he will unblock
1:26
Ukraine's ports, and it's good
1:28
news. But I trust Putin's
1:30
deals as much as I would trust eat On muscar on my wife so
1:32
we'll see how that goes. Also,
1:36
w W founder Vince McMahon has been forced
1:38
to retire after it came out that he may
1:40
have paid up to fifteen million
1:42
dollars to hush up sexual misconduct
1:45
allegations over the last twenty years. Yeah,
1:47
and you know something's over the line when
1:50
pro wrestling catches, because those reffs never see
1:52
anything, you know. In celebrity
1:54
news, Drake is under fire for posting
1:56
a picture of a random woman that he saw at a
1:58
restaurant to his degram, saying
2:00
that he tried to ed drop the picture to her
2:03
so she could see how hot she looked.
2:06
Yeah. Yeah, and
2:08
while it's not like the worst thing in the world, I think we can all
2:10
agree it's a little creepy, you know. In
2:12
fact, this punishment, Drake should have to ride the subway
2:14
and then let all the creeps ed drop their dick picks to
2:17
him, you know, and we'll be like, ah,
2:19
ship, why don't you look like a colored flower? And
2:23
of course, the most exciting thing
2:25
that happened over the weekend, we got
2:28
the first trailer for Black Panther Too, the
2:30
pinder for ever and
2:33
I don't know if you saw it, but that trailer was amazing
2:36
and it was so black what black
2:40
people? Black people were celebrating that trailer
2:42
the same way white people celebrate when Trader Joe's
2:44
drops a brand new frozen meal. They're like
2:46
pumpkin rabbioli. What
2:49
all right? But let's get into the big news of the day, starting
2:53
with the major announcement from the World
2:55
Health Organization. And yes, you
2:57
already know the news is going to be bad because
3:00
the World Health Organization they never call us to say,
3:02
hey, guys, we just want to let you know the world is healthy, everything's
3:04
fine. No, they only pop
3:06
up to say ship like this. With
3:09
cases rapidly on the rise, this morning,
3:11
the World Health Organization is sounding
3:13
the alarm on monkey pops, declaring
3:15
the virus a global health emergency
3:18
across the country. The numbers are steadily
3:20
rising. Less than two weeks ago, the CDC
3:23
listed just over fourteen hundred
3:25
confirmed cases nationwide.
3:27
Now that number has nearly doubled,
3:30
with cases in all but five states.
3:33
The nation's epicenter New York, where
3:35
nearly nine hundred people have been infected.
3:37
The last time the World Health Organization made
3:40
this designation was January, in
3:43
response to COVID nineteen another
3:51
global health emergency. No, we
3:54
just got done with ignoring this pandemic.
3:57
I don't ref I can handle a nogal one. Pop
4:01
can't take this. And
4:04
also, why is New York the epicenter again?
4:07
Huh? Haven't we been through enough?
4:10
Hurricane Sandy, coronavirus,
4:12
the Knicks. Now,
4:14
I'm joking, I'm joking. Sandy wasn't a complete disaster,
4:17
seriously, people, And what is
4:19
it about New York? Why? Why do diseases
4:21
love it? You know, what is it about this place
4:23
outside of like the rats and the cockroaches, and the subways
4:26
full of fee season piles of garbage on the sidewalk,
4:28
outside of all of that, why do diseases love New
4:30
York? Not?
4:33
The good news? And the big difference between monkey
4:35
Parks and COVID is so far
4:38
monkey Parks doesn't seem as dangerous
4:40
so far, still gonna take it seriously.
4:43
But for most people it gives you some painful boils
4:45
for like a few days, and then it's gone, Yeah
4:48
and off the COVID. I'm not gonna lie. That doesn't phaze
4:50
me. Yeah, yeah, because it's like, is this gonna
4:52
kill a million people? And shut down the planet. No, well,
4:55
then I'm taking these boils to the club. Baby.
5:02
Now you may have noticed that online
5:05
or somewhere else people are saying that monkey pops
5:07
is a gay disease. Please
5:09
understand that that is not true. All
5:11
right. Yes, gay men who are very sexually
5:14
active are at higher risk of getting
5:16
the disease because it's transmitted through touch.
5:18
But it is not a gay disease. Okay,
5:20
anyone can get it. So what we should make
5:22
sure the gay communities get the support that they need. We also
5:25
shouldn't stigmatize them and make it
5:27
seem like monkeypos is their disease,
5:29
the same way COVID, the
5:32
same way COVID wasn't a Chinese
5:34
person's disease, the same way AIDS wasn't
5:36
an African person's disease. All right, I
5:39
want to wear. A disease starts. If
5:42
you don't start it out, it could spread
5:44
out to the larger population. It's how diseases
5:46
work. You know. Some disease
5:48
might start in a frat house, but if you don't
5:50
stop it, one day, your granny could be on
5:52
the phone with you. Like, I don't have much longer, sweetie.
5:55
The doctors say I've got why fever. It's
5:58
it's really bad. So
6:00
let's not blame any one group of people here for monkey
6:02
parks. The ones we should be blaming
6:05
are the monkeys. Yeah,
6:07
don't forget. All these diseases come from monkeys,
6:10
and it's not a mistake. They're trying to kill us. Yeah,
6:13
because you see, remember we used to roll with the monkeys.
6:16
And then what do we do. We secretly went away, we got
6:18
closing computers, and we
6:20
left our monkey brothers behind. Yeah, and
6:22
then they're like, all right, screw you guys. You said you were going
6:24
to the shop to buy cigarettes, and now you build cities
6:26
and ship and you left us naked and the bushes eating
6:28
bananas. We're gonna show you. But
6:36
even though even
6:38
though it's an emergency, let's not get too stressed
6:41
out right about something that may or may
6:43
not become a worldwide disaster, because
6:45
we've already got a worldwide disaster to focus
6:47
on. It's called climate change. Yeah, that's the
6:49
reason everyone was sweating so much this weekend. They managed
6:52
to make weight for the big fights, But I'm an accountant.
6:54
You made weight get in their champion. Last
6:57
week we saw how the heat was affecting Europe, right, temperatures
6:59
were hitting record highs wildfires
7:01
when multiple countries and now the
7:03
US is experiencing the same thing.
7:06
Many cities are seeing record breaking
7:08
temperatures meters hitting triple digits
7:10
in areas throughout the Northeast, and
7:12
that could be the case the rest of the week as
7:15
well. That's riot. At least four cities set
7:17
new marks, including Boston Newark
7:19
in California, the Oak Fire has burned
7:21
at least ten structures. These newlyweds
7:24
coming back to their home to find it reduced
7:26
to ash, many wondering if they'll even
7:28
have a home to come back to. Wildfire
7:31
sending residents fleeing in the West, emergency
7:34
cruise in Yosemite National Park working day
7:37
and night from the ground and in the air trying
7:39
to contain the more than fifteen thousand acre
7:42
Oak Fire. This is the not so mighty
7:44
Rio Grand near Albuquerque, New Mexico. High
7:47
tempts and extreme drout i've caused water levels
7:49
to drop to their lowest point in about forty
7:51
years. These new satellite images showing just
7:53
how much water Lake Meat has lost
7:56
to a massive drought. It's water levels
7:58
are at their lowest points in ninety
8:00
seven. That is just after the lake was
8:03
created by the Hoover dam.
8:05
Yeah, it looks like the world is on fire
8:07
and soon all of our drinking water will
8:09
be gone. So jokes on you monkey
8:11
powks. Yeah, you can't kill us
8:14
if we're killing ourselves first, bitch,
8:16
Hugh Men's, Hugh, Men's que,
8:18
Men's hue, Men's Men's man
8:21
to man to man man,
8:24
Yeah, we're gonna die. But
8:28
once again we're being reminded. If humanity doesn't
8:30
get our act together soon, Mother
8:32
Nature is gonna handle this problem herself. The
8:35
thunderstorms are going to become more thunder
8:37
rye droughts are going to be more
8:39
droughty. Planet's gonna
8:41
be so hot, drink is gonna ed drop at a picture of itself.
8:45
I mean, did you guys feel how hot it was this weekend? Did
8:47
you feel it? It
8:50
was no joke. My sweat was sweating. For
8:52
a second. I thought my uber made a mistake and dropped
8:54
me off in hell. I said, four streets it
8:57
was so hot. I was just walking into random
9:00
doors, just like to steal
9:02
the air conditioning. I'm not gonna lie. And when I
9:04
say every store, I mean every store, even
9:06
stores like zero business being inside. And
9:08
the worst thing is, you know, when you do that, you have to act like
9:11
you actually want to buy something even when you don't.
9:14
So, um, you guys,
9:17
you don't do custom eyeholes. Yeah yeah,
9:20
so just off the rack okay? Yeah yeah,
9:22
And you said the crosses are not self burning, but you
9:24
you can get an easy light version online. Okay, hey yeah,
9:26
yeah, well you know what, I'm gonna come back. I'm
9:28
gonna come back. I'm just gonna go to Saphara because I need to get
9:31
some of whatever they sell. And uh, yeah, I'll be back.
9:33
I'll be back. What was your name again? Was
9:35
was Art? Was? Art? All right? Thank you, thank you, I'll
9:37
be back. I'll do that. Yeah, I'll do that. Yeah, I'll definitely
9:39
come back. I did not go back. But
9:45
again, let's
9:48
not get too stressed about this disaster that could end
9:50
human life on Earth, because we can
9:52
still change it. And besides, we need
9:54
to save some of our stress for another existential threat,
9:57
the robot apocalypse and Russia
9:59
a a primely bad move at
10:01
the Moscow Chess Open, a chess plane
10:04
robot apparently malfunctioned and
10:06
broke its young opponent's finger. We
10:08
see the robot taking one of the boys pieces,
10:10
but when he makes him move quickly, the robot
10:13
grabbed his finger hard enough to break
10:15
it. Officials say the seven year old
10:17
didn't wait long enough before that next move,
10:20
but he was back playing the
10:22
next day,
10:26
so so that robot tried
10:28
to kill that child and
10:30
everyone just went back the next day like nothing
10:33
happened. Also, who is programming
10:35
a chess robot with enough strength to break
10:37
a human hand? This is chess?
10:40
What UFC? It was this rook
10:42
to chokehold which actually
10:45
wouldn't watch more chess chokes. I'm not gonna
10:47
lie, but this is how it starts.
10:49
People, Serri stops listening to you. A
10:52
chess robot breaks a seven year olds finger. Next
10:54
thing you know your room by sneaking
10:56
up behind you with a knife. Prepared
10:59
to die? Here my prepared to or die? Where
11:01
are you here? Men's prepared or die? All
11:04
right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go to a quick break, let's
11:06
check it on the stock market without finance expert Michael
11:08
Cost to everybody, what's
11:12
fry on my creak? More
11:15
importantly, what's happening in the stock market?
11:17
Yeah, you know, I'm actually not crushing
11:20
it. So yeah, Psych,
11:23
I'm crushing it. I'm crushing
11:25
I'm also trying to bring back psych but it's
11:27
not really work. Psych.
11:29
It's working and I've crushing it. Dude,
11:32
I crushed it, and I got a hot tip. You want to make some
11:34
money in the market, I got a hot tip some play attention? Great,
11:36
all right, so let's get it. This is the actually before
11:38
we do this, that Black Panther trailer, who
11:41
right, that was amazing. I
11:44
got two things to say about Black
11:47
Panther, Okay, first one, well, Conda
11:49
forever, all right, and the second one
11:51
is people been telling me to stop doing that, all
11:53
right, So so
11:56
that's my last one, Psyche, what
11:58
kind of forever I'm that? So
12:02
this is the don't actually actually actually
12:05
the robot that broke
12:07
the robot
12:10
breaks a child's finger and
12:12
nothing happens to it. That's unfair,
12:15
you know. But my two year old niece puts her finger
12:17
in my mouth and I bite down and now I'm
12:19
a monster. Okay, you
12:21
ate the last cupcake, Denise. You
12:25
gotta learn some boundaries, all
12:27
right. The big news Trevor in the w
12:29
W E right here is and look I
12:32
wrestled in middle school, so I understand
12:34
this. Okay, I wasn't on
12:36
the wrestling team, but I was thrown down and beating
12:39
up a lot. Okay, look at
12:41
this eight percent increase
12:43
in one day. I know what you're thinking, this is wrestling.
12:45
That's fake. No no, no, no no no. This
12:47
is real, almost as real as those injuries
12:49
I sustained throughout middle school. But look here's
12:52
what happened. The CEO of w W,
12:54
Vince McMahon, stepped down and this
12:56
thing climbed higher than a unitard
12:59
up a sweaty wrestler's butt hole. Okay,
13:02
now this is humiliating for Vince
13:04
McMahon. Okay, this is like if you go to a party
13:06
and then as soon as you leave, everyone's like, that's when it
13:08
got good. That's what Vince McMahon
13:11
is dealing with right here.
13:14
There's been a big shake up at w W.
13:16
They hired a new creative director, Triple
13:18
H, a former wrestler, or as I refer to
13:21
him as. But
13:26
here's what I'm hoping for, Trevor, all right,
13:29
with this infusion of cash, I'm
13:31
hoping the WW buy some better furniture.
13:34
You know, Stop with these folding
13:36
chairs and these tables that break all the time.
13:39
How about how about some solid,
13:41
oh some something heavy
13:43
like a hickory, and then you hit the referee
13:45
with that. Okay, I promised
13:48
you a hot tip. All right, Okay, here's the hot tip.
13:50
Think about this. Think about this all right. If you're the
13:52
CEO of a struggling company,
13:54
Okay, just say you're leaving. Wait
13:57
for the stock to go up, right then you
13:59
say side, I'm back in. We're kind
14:01
of forever Michael
14:05
Costa. Everybody, don't
14:07
go away, because when we come back, we'll look at the season
14:09
Canaly of January six. You don't miss it. Welcome
14:29
back to The Daily Show. After six
14:32
weeks of televised drama, we finally
14:34
come to the end of season one of the January
14:36
six hearings, the investigation into
14:39
the day Donald Trump lost his security deposits,
14:42
and the latest news is actually about Steve
14:44
Bannon, the former Trump advisor,
14:46
and you're daily reminded to wear sunscreen.
14:48
Bannon refused to comply with a subpoena
14:50
from the January six committee, and now he could
14:53
spend two years in prison after
14:55
being found guilty of contempt of Congress.
14:58
And before you try and make some how this joke
15:00
about, Oh, I hope he doesn't drop the soap in prison,
15:02
don't Chris Steve Benn doesn't use
15:05
soap? Okay, it's not an
15:07
issue. But
15:09
anyway, let's catch up on all the other juicy details
15:11
coming out of those hearings in our ongoing coverage of
15:13
January six. So,
15:23
the January six hearings finally came to a close
15:25
with the Committee putting on a two hour
15:27
primetime show which they hoped would
15:29
finally convince the nation that President Trump
15:32
was hashtag problematic, and
15:34
because this was the last episode, they
15:36
did not hold back. The prime
15:39
time finale for the January six committee
15:41
lived up to its billing, the committee
15:44
presenting what maybe it's most damning
15:46
evidence to date, highlighting the one
15:48
hundred seven minutes between President
15:50
Trump telling his supporters to march
15:52
to the Capitol and when he finally told
15:54
them to go home. Trump
15:56
spent much of that time at the White House
15:59
watching the violent assault unfold
16:01
on TV and refusing to publicly
16:03
condemn it or call off the mob. For
16:06
hours. Trump ignored please by
16:08
his aids, members of Congress, and
16:11
even his own daughter to call
16:13
off the violence as it unfolded
16:15
before his eyes. The prime time
16:17
event painted the clearest picture
16:19
yet of how former President Trump
16:22
waited until it was clear that
16:24
his supporters would not be able
16:26
to stop the certification of the vote
16:29
before he made any attempt to call
16:31
off the angry mall. As he was gathering
16:33
his things in the dining room to leave, President
16:36
Trump reflected on the day's events
16:38
with the White House employee. President
16:41
Trump said nothing to
16:43
the employee about the attack. He
16:46
said only quote, Mike
16:49
Pence let me down. Wow.
16:52
Trump watched everything that happened
16:54
on January six, and his biggest
16:57
problem is that Mike Pence let him
16:59
down by
17:01
I guess, not being hanged. He
17:04
said he was my writer or died, but when
17:07
I asked him to die, he wouldn't do it.
17:09
What a loser. But
17:12
yeah, the main takeaway from this hearing is not
17:15
only did Trump do nothing through
17:17
three hours of the best TV he watched
17:19
all year, but he only finally
17:21
spoke out once it was clear that
17:23
the coup had failed. And everyone
17:26
knows that move right when you act
17:28
too late, as if you wanted to do it, but you don't. It's
17:30
like that thing you do when when you go out with your friends
17:32
you know'd be like, oh, let me grab the check, because like
17:34
we left the restaurant twenty minutes ago. Oh but
17:38
too bad. Next time I got to I got to now.
17:44
I mean, if you, if you want to be really generous, you could
17:46
say the reason Trump didn't do anything on January six is
17:48
because maybe he was in shock. All right. I
17:51
mean, we've all tweeted crazy things. But if I tweeted
17:53
I'd kill for a mac rib and then my followers burned
17:55
down McDonald's, I wouldn't know what to do as well.
17:57
But it turns out that even on January
17:59
seven, and Trump still had
18:01
to be forced, kicking and screaming into
18:03
condemning the mega mob and conceding
18:06
the election. And the only reason we know this is
18:08
because the Committee released the outtakes of his
18:10
speech, and they are
18:12
hilarious. I would like to begin
18:14
by addressing the heinous attack yesterday,
18:18
and to those who broke the law, you
18:21
will pay. You do not represent
18:24
our movement, you do not represent our
18:26
country. And if you broke the law,
18:29
I can't say that I'm not gonna.
18:32
I already said you will pay. The demonstrators
18:34
who infiltrated the capital have
18:37
defied the seat of destiny just
18:39
defiled, right, so I can't see it very
18:42
well. Okay, I'll do this. I'm gonna do
18:44
this. Let's go. But this election is
18:46
now over. Congress has certified
18:48
the results. I don't want to say the election is over.
18:51
I just want to say Congress
18:54
has certified the results without siding the election
18:56
zone. Okay, but
18:59
convers fright, Yeah,
19:03
I didn't say over. So let's let me see. Don't
19:06
go to the paragraph before, h
19:13
Okay. I
19:17
would like to begin by addressing the heinous
19:19
attack yesterday. Yesterday
19:22
is a hard word for me. I
19:27
could take the word yesterday because it doesn't
19:29
work with heyn
19:31
his attack on
19:33
our country, say on our country. I
19:35
want to say that my only
19:38
goal was to insure the integrity
19:40
of the vote. My
19:43
only goal was to ensure the integrity
19:45
of the boat. Ye. I'm
20:00
not gonna lie. I'm
20:02
torn on this. I'm torn because
20:04
yes, yes, him refusing to say the election
20:07
is over, that's damning as hell, right.
20:10
But the rest of the stuff, I mean, it
20:12
just seems like someone who's struggling to read.
20:15
You know, No, I get it, I get
20:17
it can happen to you. You know what can happen. Sometimes
20:20
you're trying to work with the camera and you don't. I understand that,
20:22
I understand. But what I will say is really funny
20:24
is how he says he can't say
20:26
yesterday, but says yesterday.
20:29
He's like yesterday, I can't say
20:31
yesterday, yester. Yesterday's realier.
20:34
Nobody can say yesterday. What
20:36
what is that word? See, I'll trash hit out yes media.
20:38
You see, you can't say yesterday. You can't
20:40
say you can't say it was that thing. By
20:42
the way, that was funny. I've never seen him do that. It's
20:48
like a sassy Trump. But
20:56
really the parts of the clip where Trump refuses
20:58
to say the election is over, that is bad, right,
21:01
and very optimistic, because
21:03
say what you want about the man, he does not give up.
21:05
He was a football coach, he'd be in the locker
21:07
room like, okay, team we lost by thirty
21:09
points and the other team has already gone home,
21:12
which means the end zone is completely unguarded.
21:14
Tried to run the board. Fellas get
21:16
in there like yesterday, Hi say I
21:19
said it. I said the word.
21:24
Now. The committee didn't
21:26
just expose the president for throwing a trump Trump
21:28
tump Trump Trump Trump Trump. Now,
21:30
that's hard. Can we change the guys? That's hard, that's hard,
21:32
Trump trim. They also took a moment to reveal that
21:34
a lot of the bravado that we've seen from far right
21:37
Republican lawmakers wasn't actually
21:39
how they felt while the patriots
21:42
were ransacking the capital, and one person
21:44
who really got dragged was Missouri senator
21:46
and pro storming the capitol Republican
21:49
Josh Harley. The committee highlighting
21:51
Missouri Senator Josh Holly's actions
21:54
on January six. As he entered
21:56
the Capitol. As you can see in this photo,
21:58
he raised his fist and solidarity
22:01
with the protesters. Later that day, Senator
22:03
Holly fled after those
22:06
protesters he helped to rile up storm
22:08
the Capitol. See for yourself
22:11
the committee room erupting in laughter
22:13
watching Holly run. Okay,
22:21
I'm sorry, but
22:23
the January six Committee should be ashamed of itself.
22:26
They had no reason to show this. They
22:30
just wanted to embarrass the Senator of the United
22:32
States.
22:34
Soot to embarrass the man. Huh,
22:37
why just because he ran
22:39
away like a little bit. I
22:42
mean, what did he do? Yeah, he raised his fists
22:44
and he egged the crowd on. But is that a reason to
22:46
show him pissing his pants on national television?
22:49
Huh? Isn't a crime to be crying
22:51
and running away from the mob that you riled up?
22:53
Oh, he's such a bitch as Let me tell you something.
22:56
That bitch ass thought the mob was gonna kill him.
22:59
Is that funny to you, this grown man
23:01
running on these little gazelle legs?
23:04
I do and die? I know, and you
23:06
think that's funny? Grow
23:09
up? So
23:13
sadly that's it for season one of
23:15
the January six hearings. But good news, good
23:17
news, it's already been renewed for season
23:19
two that drops in September. Yeah,
23:22
I'd like any good series. They're
23:25
leaving us with some major cliffhangers.
23:27
Will they find the Secret Service deleted
23:29
text messages? Will Liz Cheney
23:31
and Adam Kinsing are finally realized the love
23:33
they've been looking for has been right in front of
23:35
them this whole time? Will we find out
23:37
that Steve Bannon was the source of monkey
23:40
poks? Either
23:42
way, we'll be waiting with Bates and breath. All right, we gotta take a quick
23:44
break, but stay tuned, because when we come back, Daniel, come
23:46
Louisa will be joining us in the flow. You
23:48
don't want to miss it. Welcome
24:05
back to the Daily Show. My guest to like is
24:07
Oscar winning actor Daniel Caluja.
24:09
He's here to talk about starring in the new
24:12
film. Nope,
24:15
HEA's welcome Daniel Caluya. Daniel
24:38
Calluja, Welcome back to the Daily Show.
24:40
What should I say? Oscar winner? Come
24:42
on, Daniel coming, Welcome
24:45
back to the Daily Show. Thank you, thanks
24:49
for having me, Thanks for your thanks for having me, come
24:51
on, this is this is like you dand thanks.
24:55
If you're not Jerry, you'd be like I'm supposed to be here, I'll
24:58
be like you're welcome. Yeah, I'm not. I
25:01
would love to know how do you stay motivated after an
25:03
Oscar I'm struggling. I
25:08
say, movie, I think it's not about that. It's
25:10
not it's not I'm not like I'm appreciate
25:12
that it's a blessing. But I feel like it's
25:14
just like I see it like a master's if
25:17
you get a masters, you know I've got masters, Well
25:19
you can do with it, saying that's how I
25:21
see is that when I'm gonna do with this? So like
25:23
all right, So it's a key al right when
25:26
king what kind of key
25:28
is that? I don't know what I'm kind of you
25:32
know what you are using it this this movie and
25:34
people you know obviously played the trailer
25:36
and it was just a little piece of the movie there, but um,
25:39
nobody knows what this movie is about. Like there
25:41
are times when you didn't really know what was happening.
25:44
I didn't know you're
25:46
looking up in the sky and then they're clearly
25:48
there's no I can't say it, but there's no thing
25:50
in the sky. Is You're like
25:55
sixty said in the film, like there's
25:58
nothing there. So you're like, and you know,
26:01
what's he gonna like? And then then they'll show you
26:03
some like skelettle kind of like
26:06
but so you kind of have to like imagine
26:09
it, and then you have to trust Jordan's
26:11
that's a big thing. He you know, he I'm sure you have seen.
26:13
He loves you so much, you know, he
26:15
just he just he feels like you're the greatest actor
26:17
that he's ever worked. He says, in many ways you're his DeNiro,
26:20
which is a huge compliment, you know, because
26:22
because the relationship you have, the special
26:25
I remember when I remember when I realized there was
26:27
a there was a scene to give me the key scene to get
26:30
up um that was improvised, and
26:33
yeah, there was a whole scene that was written and
26:35
I'm like instinct she was like, So I'm like,
26:37
I don't this isn't. He's gotta get out because
26:39
like, what's he talking about. And
26:42
then and then I was like, it's not working. It's not working, and he just
26:45
removed all the lines and he said, just ask
26:47
her for the keys. Just ask for the keys. But I'm like, well,
26:49
he knows that she's he knows that she's
26:52
not just asking me, just ask the keys. And I realized in that
26:54
moment because oh, I trust you. And then
26:56
so then I just did it. So I did it. There was no like,
26:59
there's no back and forth. I just don't give me the keys. I just shouted
27:01
at Alison, give me the keys game, the keys game, the kids game, the keys
27:03
and that was what was staying. That was that was one
27:05
of the most powerful scenes in the field. That that's what I
27:07
feel like you have. It's like exactly what you're saying. It's instinctual.
27:10
You know, like even when I when I think about your journey
27:13
in acting and who you are, you've
27:15
always had this um it's it's it's an
27:17
uncanny ability to understand
27:19
not even who the character is on the page, but who
27:21
the character is inside of you,
27:24
you know, like I've always wanted with any amazing
27:26
actor, are there parts of the character that you keep with
27:28
you or or are you able to just like turn
27:30
it off and then and then you're done after the project. No, it
27:33
stays with you. It stays or you have to kind of like you
27:35
have to. You have to, like so that's why I usually
27:37
go away for a week by myself and you have to kind of get
27:39
back to yourself and go, what were my habits?
27:41
And because you're doing his habits and
27:44
you are your habits. So you're doing this person's
27:46
habits for like four months and then you
27:48
but you then you you're not You're away from yourself.
27:51
You're here, so you have to kind of go travel back to yourself
27:53
and go, oh, I want to watch this YouTube video
27:55
about silly stuff and I want to It's
27:58
Instagram video about and Lebron
28:00
James saying something like you get
28:02
back to yourself? You mean, so,
28:04
yeah, this is this is one of those movies
28:07
that has, you know, one of the best costs
28:09
that out there, that is out there. I'm not gonna
28:11
lie. You know, I love you. But Kicky Palmer,
28:13
like, I'm she's just amazing. She's
28:16
just amazing. I feel like you two
28:18
have become best friends everywhere I've seen you together
28:21
every it feels like you like siblings. Now essentially,
28:23
he's deeply annoying. Yeah,
28:27
that's my girl. No, man, that's my girl. But she
28:30
knows how to place my buttons and she's like, it's
28:34
funny. It's like we have like we call it a sibilance.
28:37
That's like that, so that we have a brother and
28:39
sister that dynamic and key. When
28:41
you're working with somebody like that, you know again,
28:43
trust comes and comes into the picture. You know, you're
28:45
performing together, you you're spending so much
28:48
time together. You does do
28:50
you think it improves your relationship when you're in a tough situation
28:52
acting or does does your relationship
28:55
improve the situation that you're in? Like? Which way does it go? Because
28:57
I know you don't always meet the actors beforehand. Sometimes you meet
28:59
on set, so you see you see a
29:01
person's character and when you're like going up against
29:03
them, you see how generous they are, You see how much
29:05
they see, how much how much they are there for
29:07
themselves, are they're there for the script? What you
29:09
see who they're serving, because sometimes they're just serving themselves,
29:12
or sometimes they're serving the direct, sometimes they're serving script.
29:14
So you see some see stuff as
29:16
a person. So you would see that in
29:18
life anyway. So it kind it's just a mirror everything.
29:20
It's like coming first a chicken or the egg. But I
29:23
like, especially if you have a close kind
29:25
of relationship with a character, spending
29:27
time with him beforehand and just going out and just being
29:29
silly and just rolling out, like she took me
29:31
to a house part. It was fun, man, it was cool. It
29:34
was a good house. I want to ask you what happened there, but
29:36
I want I've
29:39
been lucky enough to know you, you know, across
29:41
the years, and you have maintained that sense of
29:43
self. You have maintained that generosity. You have
29:46
kept Daniel intact, which is
29:48
not easy in the industry that you're in.
29:50
I noticed recently that you joined
29:52
Instagram, and what fascinated
29:54
me was the fact that you're such a private person. You've always
29:57
been. How do you see you sharing a
29:59
piece of the world as someone who's extremely private
30:02
I'm still figuring that out because I just I just
30:04
feel like I'm
30:06
trying not to overthink it. Okay,
30:09
this is what I'm doing today. Like,
30:12
but I kind of like using the platform
30:14
to show joy in it because I feel like, all right,
30:16
cool, like let's show people have fun, like we have
30:18
fun like that, and like it's
30:21
a platform, so then you create more fun in your life and then
30:23
put there's that, then it contributes
30:25
to your life, and then I'm like, cool, I'm going to go to a theme part
30:27
today and then how can we do that. Let's let's show
30:29
that. That's I don't know. That's I'm still
30:31
figuring out. There's no like m O. But I realized
30:34
I wanted a direct relationship with the audience,
30:36
like I care like I care about the audience. I
30:38
just just busy playing. Other people are just in my
30:40
head. I'm just like I was going
30:43
in another one. I don't know that why
30:45
don't you post? Who am? I? Like? I don't know what
30:48
am I com post about? I
30:51
shot a police officer this morning and
30:54
I'm on the run, and I
30:56
said like, like I didn't I didn't. So then
30:58
now I'm like a bit more into myself of what
31:01
I do this a little bit of that, but I'm still figuring
31:03
out. Before I let you go, there's one question I've
31:05
been dying to ask you, and this is
31:07
from the Oscars. You know, when you when you're accepting
31:10
your reward in your speech,
31:12
you said, I want to thank my mom and dad for
31:14
having sex. You're the only person. You're
31:17
the only person that's asked me. I'm the only
31:19
persons asked me that question.
31:23
You like that was it was a really
31:25
fun moment, and you were joyous and you were thanking
31:27
every you were even thinking like you're your favorite rappers from
31:29
from the UK, and if it was like such a joyous moment.
31:32
But I didn't notice your mom was there in
31:34
the audience and you you was in London,
31:36
which is probably why I did it. No, but who's
31:38
an audience? They
31:41
cut your mom in the audience, right, so she's in the
31:43
audience, and then you go on to thank my mom and dad
31:46
for having sex and they cut
31:48
to her and your mom is an African
31:50
mom, and everyone was like, your mom was like this
31:52
did this guy just say I have sex? On TV? So
31:57
from one African to another, I would like to know
32:00
how did you avoid the volcano
32:02
that comes. Does she say anything to you? Of course
32:05
she did, like, but
32:08
it was months later. It's cooking,
32:10
it's still cooking. Liked
32:15
is that? But but like I
32:17
was like, I've got your personality. But
32:21
yeah, it was interesting. I FaceTime the right
32:23
after. I was like, my mama, mama joking,
32:27
it happened. But I'm joking. But
32:30
I'm like people asking like why did you say that? I'm like, how
32:32
did you get here? Like how did
32:34
everyone get here? Like you have a mom
32:36
and dad that's sex like you mean, it's like it's African.
32:39
Parents are like, we know how we got here, but we don't talk about
32:41
it. You don't need to talk
32:43
about it. No, I'm a renegade. Daniel.
