0:46

was rating, it's

0:49

everything you can. Thank you so much. Take a seat

0:51

taken. See we have got a jam packed show

0:53

for you tonight. The World Health Organization is

0:56

planning to send us back to our apartments. I

0:58

hope you enjoyed your shower this morning because it could

1:00

be your last. And we wrap up

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.
