00:00:02,202 --> 00:00:03,737
NARRATOR: Coming to
you from New York City,
2
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:05,672
the only city in America.
3
00:00:05,772 --> 00:00:07,341
It's The Daily Show.
4
00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:12,613
Tonight-- controversy at
the World Cup, Trump's
5
00:00:12,713 --> 00:00:16,950
dinner party, and Will Smith.
6
00:00:17,050 --> 00:00:20,654
This is The Daily
Show with Trevor Noah.
7
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:27,728
[applause, cheering]
8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,469
What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to The Daily Show.
9
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:36,470
I'm Trevor Noah.
10
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:38,238
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
11
00:00:38,338 --> 00:00:39,606
Thank you for
coming on in person!
12
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:42,009
Good to see you, everybody!
13
00:00:42,109 --> 00:00:43,277
Welcome back!
14
00:00:43,377 --> 00:00:44,378
We're back!
We're back!
15
00:00:44,478 --> 00:00:45,379
Take a seat.
16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,513
Take a seat.
17
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:49,149
We have got a jampacked
show for you tonight.
18
00:00:49,249 --> 00:00:50,851
The Daily Show is
going to the World Cup.
19
00:00:50,951 --> 00:00:52,953
If you have monkeypox,
you're racist,
20
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,923
and Donald Trump somehow
has beef with Kanye West.
21
00:00:56,023 --> 00:00:57,624
Plus, the one and
only Will Smith
22
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,092
is joining us on today's show.
23
00:00:59,193 --> 00:01:00,160
That's going to
be a ton of fun.
24
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:01,261
So let's do this, people.
25
00:01:01,361 --> 00:01:03,463
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
26
00:01:03,564 --> 00:01:10,571
[applause, cheering]
27
00:01:13,373 --> 00:01:14,942
All right.
28
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:16,343
Before we get into
the big stories,
29
00:01:16,443 --> 00:01:18,779
let's catch up on a few other
things going on in the world,
30
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:21,215
starting with monkeypox.
31
00:01:21,315 --> 00:01:23,750
This morning, the World
Health Organization
32
00:01:23,851 --> 00:01:26,453
announced that
because of concerns
33
00:01:26,553 --> 00:01:30,624
that the word, monkeypox,
is racist and stigmatizing,
34
00:01:30,724 --> 00:01:37,297
the disease will
officially be renamed Mpox.
35
00:01:38,298 --> 00:01:41,101
Now, I don't know
who this is for.
36
00:01:41,134 --> 00:01:42,402
This sounds like
they were trying
37
00:01:42,503 --> 00:01:47,341
so hard not to be racist, that
they ended up being racist.
38
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:50,177
Some guy was like, we
can't use "monkey."
39
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:54,114
That immediately makes
me think of, you know.
40
00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:55,983
Right?
Come on.
41
00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:57,117
We're all thinking it, right?
42
00:01:57,217 --> 00:01:58,685
Am I the only one?
43
00:01:58,785 --> 00:01:59,887
Because here's the thing.
44
00:02:00,053 --> 00:02:01,321
If you're really trying
to get rid of the stigma,
45
00:02:01,421 --> 00:02:02,723
just give it a completely
different name.
46
00:02:02,823 --> 00:02:04,124
Right?
47
00:02:04,224 --> 00:02:05,492
Because you realize you're just
abbreviating the word that you
48
00:02:05,592 --> 00:02:07,728
don't want people to
think about, which works,
49
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:10,898
until someone says, what
does the M stand for?
50
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:13,300
Ah!
51
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,203
In international news, a French
court has officially ruled
52
00:02:16,303 --> 00:02:21,074
that companies cannot require
employees to have fun at work,
53
00:02:21,108 --> 00:02:24,278
after one man was fired
for refusing to participate
54
00:02:24,378 --> 00:02:26,079
in office parties.
55
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:27,080
Yeah.
56
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,081
And I'll tell you now.
57
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:29,483
I am with this guy.
Yeah.
58
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:31,084
If you ask me,
companies require way
59
00:02:31,118 --> 00:02:32,352
too much of their employees.
60
00:02:32,452 --> 00:02:34,821
You're making them go to
office parties, team buildings.
61
00:02:34,922 --> 00:02:36,156
You're forcing them
to wash their hands
62
00:02:36,256 --> 00:02:37,157
after going to the bathroom.
63
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:38,525
It's too much!
64
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:40,294
You've got to pick one.
65
00:02:40,394 --> 00:02:42,696
Oh, in some news
out of the Pentagon,
66
00:02:42,796 --> 00:02:45,766
the US Defense department just
failed a government audit,
67
00:02:45,866 --> 00:02:47,534
with officials
saying that they are
68
00:02:47,634 --> 00:02:50,971
unable to account
for more than 60%
69
00:02:51,104 --> 00:02:55,342
of the military's $3.5
trillion in assets.
70
00:02:55,442 --> 00:02:56,343
Yeah.
71
00:02:56,443 --> 00:02:58,812
They just don't
know where it is.
72
00:02:58,912 --> 00:03:01,682
And I don't even know
how it's possible to lose
73
00:03:01,782 --> 00:03:03,183
track of that much money.
74
00:03:03,283 --> 00:03:04,418
Like, what, are
they waterboarding
75
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:05,419
people with Cristal?
76
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:07,621
What are they doing there?
77
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:08,789
And honestly, the
Pentagon deserves
78
00:03:08,889 --> 00:03:10,724
to be punished for this.
79
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:12,226
Unfortunately,
they happen to have
80
00:03:12,326 --> 00:03:15,162
all the missiles, so we'll let
it slide this time, Pentagon!
81
00:03:15,262 --> 00:03:16,296
Oh, but next time!
82
00:03:16,396 --> 00:03:17,631
All right.
83
00:03:17,731 --> 00:03:19,132
Let's move on to some of the
biggest stories of the day,
84
00:03:19,233 --> 00:03:22,336
starting with China,
America's loan shark.
85
00:03:22,436 --> 00:03:23,770
Ever since the
coronavirus originated
86
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:26,473
in one of China's major
cities, Xi Jinping's government
87
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:30,177
has been doing everything it
can to clamp down on COVID 19.
88
00:03:30,277 --> 00:03:33,080
But after three years of some
of the strictest lockdowns
89
00:03:33,146 --> 00:03:35,382
in the world, it looks
like the Chinese people
90
00:03:35,482 --> 00:03:37,551
have officially had enough.
91
00:03:37,651 --> 00:03:40,954
REPORTER: Protests are
spreading across that country.
92
00:03:41,088 --> 00:03:42,656
Thousands are taking
to the streets, some
93
00:03:42,756 --> 00:03:45,359
even calling for China's
president to step down--
94
00:03:45,459 --> 00:03:48,095
all of this, amid
rising frustration
95
00:03:48,128 --> 00:03:51,098
over the government's
zero COVID strategy.
96
00:03:51,198 --> 00:03:54,401
REPORTER: Crowds swelled
in defiance, spilling
97
00:03:54,501 --> 00:04:00,741
over to the heart of Beijing.
98
00:04:00,841 --> 00:04:02,809
REPORTER: Chanting for
freedom from the grip
99
00:04:02,910 --> 00:04:05,112
of a COVID policy
that protesters
100
00:04:05,212 --> 00:04:07,247
say has worn on too long.
101
00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:10,817
They're calling for the end of
lockdowns, the end of testing,
102
00:04:10,918 --> 00:04:13,954
all of the zero-COVID measures
that have rural daily
103
00:04:14,054 --> 00:04:15,189
life here.
104
00:04:15,289 --> 00:04:16,290
Yeah, that's right.
105
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:17,558
People in China are
taking to the streets
106
00:04:17,658 --> 00:04:20,460
to protest the government's
draconian COVID policies,
107
00:04:20,561 --> 00:04:24,431
which is a big deal, because
remember, China is not one
108
00:04:24,531 --> 00:04:27,100
of those chill countries,
where you just talk trash
109
00:04:27,201 --> 00:04:29,536
about the government,
or storm the Capitol,
110
00:04:29,636 --> 00:04:30,838
or plot to kidnap a governor.
111
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:32,606
No, no, no.
112
00:04:32,706 --> 00:04:33,607
No.
113
00:04:33,707 --> 00:04:36,076
Protesting in China
is a big deal.
114
00:04:36,143 --> 00:04:38,145
It's like growing up
in an African family
115
00:04:38,245 --> 00:04:40,180
and trying to tell your
parents that you don't think
116
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,783
Noah's Ark is real, you know?
117
00:04:42,883 --> 00:04:43,817
Like, I'm just saying, Mom!
118
00:04:43,917 --> 00:04:44,985
Think about it!
119
00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:46,553
How can they fit all
those animals on one boat?
120
00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:48,555
She'd be like, the same way
I'm going to fit all this foot
121
00:04:48,655 --> 00:04:50,157
on your backside, eh?
122
00:04:50,257 --> 00:04:52,326
Are you saying the
Bible is not real?
123
00:04:52,426 --> 00:04:53,994
Are you saying the Bible--
124
00:04:54,094 --> 00:04:58,098
Jesus, help this child now.
125
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:00,234
Now, there are many reasons
why China has been so
126
00:05:00,334 --> 00:05:01,602
hardcore with its lockdowns.
127
00:05:01,702 --> 00:05:04,137
Less than 1/2 of the elderly
population is vaccinated,
128
00:05:04,238 --> 00:05:06,807
the Chinese vaccine isn't
particularly effective,
129
00:05:06,907 --> 00:05:09,510
and the Communist
government has refused
130
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:12,613
to bring in outside vaccines,
obviously because they think
131
00:05:12,713 --> 00:05:14,147
it will make them look bad.
132
00:05:14,248 --> 00:05:15,916
It's the same reason I
was reluctant to bring
133
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:16,950
a dildo into my relationship.
134
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:18,085
Yeah.
135
00:05:18,185 --> 00:05:20,487
No, I don't mind that
you use it, but the fact
136
00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:21,755
that you cuddle
with it afterwards--
137
00:05:21,855 --> 00:05:23,123
that's what hurts me, Candace!
138
00:05:23,223 --> 00:05:24,758
That's what hurts me!
139
00:05:24,858 --> 00:05:30,864
[applause, cheering]
140
00:05:30,964 --> 00:05:32,533
And almost three years
into this pandemic,
141
00:05:32,633 --> 00:05:34,401
it is still crazy to see
the range of responses
142
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:36,270
from different countries
around the world, right?
143
00:05:36,370 --> 00:05:40,073
China shuts down an entire
city if one person coughs.
144
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:43,677
Meanwhile, Americans are like,
hey, guys, I tested positive
145
00:05:43,777 --> 00:05:46,146
for COVID, so I'm
just going to play
146
00:05:46,246 --> 00:05:48,849
the first few rounds of
Spin the Bottle tonight, OK?
147
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:49,850
Let's be responsible.
148
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:54,488
Ahhhh.
149
00:05:54,588 --> 00:05:55,589
But let's move on.
150
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:57,624
From a dictatorship
to someone who wishes
151
00:05:57,724 --> 00:05:58,625
they could start their own--
152
00:05:58,725 --> 00:06:01,929
Donald, "you're making
me crazy" Trump.
153
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:04,198
Ever since Donald Trump
announced that he would be
154
00:06:04,298 --> 00:06:07,301
running for election in 2024,
many have been wondering,
155
00:06:07,401 --> 00:06:12,806
will this finally be the moment
when he becomes presidential?
156
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:15,676
Well, judging by his recent
dinner party with Kanye West,
157
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:17,311
the computer says, no.
158
00:06:17,411 --> 00:06:19,713
Former President Donald Trump
is facing fierce criticism
159
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:21,615
tonight, even from
his own allies,
160
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:24,084
for having dinner at his
Mar-a-Lago estate with
161
00:06:24,184 --> 00:06:27,120
controversial musician
Kanye West and white
162
00:06:27,221 --> 00:06:28,589
supremacist Nick Fuentes.
163
00:06:28,689 --> 00:06:29,823
REPORTER: If you're
not familiar,
164
00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:32,526
Fuentes is this high-profile
figure on the far right,
165
00:06:32,626 --> 00:06:34,394
a Holocaust denier,
but he's best
166
00:06:34,494 --> 00:06:37,431
known for running the America
First organization, which,
167
00:06:37,531 --> 00:06:39,266
according to the
ADL, quote, "seeks
168
00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:41,735
to forge a white
nationalist alternative
169
00:06:41,835 --> 00:06:43,337
to the mainstream GOP."
170
00:06:43,437 --> 00:06:46,840
Even for Donald Trump,
this was outrageous.
171
00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:48,642
OK, first of all--
172
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:50,844
first of all, this whole story
sounds like the setup to one
173
00:06:50,944 --> 00:06:53,714
of those jokes that your uncle
tells you at dinner, you know?
174
00:06:53,814 --> 00:06:55,883
Like, OK, so a
racist billionaire
175
00:06:55,983 --> 00:06:58,452
and anti-Semitic rapper
and a white supremacist
176
00:06:58,552 --> 00:07:00,254
walk into a bar.
177
00:07:00,354 --> 00:07:01,522
And then, what happens?
178
00:07:01,622 --> 00:07:03,123
Hold on, the Black
waiter is coming.
179
00:07:03,223 --> 00:07:04,525
A Diet Coke, please.
180
00:07:04,625 --> 00:07:06,126
Thank you.
181
00:07:06,226 --> 00:07:07,461
Thank you.
182
00:07:07,561 --> 00:07:12,933
[applause, cheering]
183
00:07:13,033 --> 00:07:15,936
Secondly, why do
journalists still
184
00:07:16,036 --> 00:07:20,507
act surprised when Donald
Trump does Donald Trump stuff?
185
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,476
Even for Donald Trump,
this is-- what do you
186
00:07:22,576 --> 00:07:24,077
mean, even for Donald Trump?
187
00:07:24,178 --> 00:07:25,646
It's Donald Trump
doing Donald Trump.
188
00:07:25,746 --> 00:07:27,948
Trump having dinner with
Nazis is not outrageous.
189
00:07:28,048 --> 00:07:29,116
If he had dinner
with vegetables,
190
00:07:29,216 --> 00:07:30,717
that would be outrageous.
That would be crazy.
191
00:07:30,817 --> 00:07:31,718
What?
192
00:07:31,818 --> 00:07:32,853
Yeah, and he was
spelling words.
193
00:07:32,953 --> 00:07:36,557
What?
194
00:07:36,657 --> 00:07:38,659
But because of this dinner,
Trump has taken a lot of flak
195
00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:39,660
from all sides.
196
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,228
And so in classic
Trump style, he
197
00:07:41,328 --> 00:07:43,964
sends out a few posts
about why, as per usual,
198
00:07:44,064 --> 00:07:47,234
he isn't to blame for
anything that he did.
199
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:50,537
REPORTER: But Mr. Trump tried
distancing himself, posting
200
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:54,141
on social media that "West
called me to have dinner,"
201
00:07:54,241 --> 00:07:57,411
"expressed no
anti-Semitism," and claimed,
202
00:07:57,511 --> 00:07:58,879
"I didn't know Nick Fuentes."
203
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:00,547
Yeah.
Yeah.
204
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:01,615
Yeah.
205
00:08:01,715 --> 00:08:02,916
In Trump's defense,
I mean, how would he
206
00:08:03,016 --> 00:08:04,585
know that the guy
Kanye rolls with could
207
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:05,686
be a white supremacist?
208
00:08:05,786 --> 00:08:07,154
I mean, I get what he's saying.
209
00:08:07,254 --> 00:08:08,322
He's like, I just
wanted to have
210
00:08:08,422 --> 00:08:09,656
dinner with this anti-Semite.
211
00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:13,393
I didn't know he was
going to bring a friend!
212
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:14,828
Because I love how
Trump tries to immunize
213
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:18,265
himself by saying Kanye
"expressed no anti-Semitism"
214
00:08:18,365 --> 00:08:19,533
at the dinner.
215
00:08:19,633 --> 00:08:20,601
And then, what?
216
00:08:20,701 --> 00:08:22,169
I'm also sure he didn't
rap at the dinner,
217
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:25,172
but you still know
that he's a rapper.
218
00:08:25,272 --> 00:08:28,675
Now, you might be wondering,
if Kanye didn't want
219
00:08:28,775 --> 00:08:30,811
to talk anti-Semitism at
the dinner table, what
220
00:08:30,911 --> 00:08:32,112
did he want to talk about?
221
00:08:32,212 --> 00:08:35,048
Well, apparently, he
was trying to convince
222
00:08:35,082 --> 00:08:39,286
Trump to not run for president,
but not in the way you think.
223
00:08:39,386 --> 00:08:41,855
REPORTER: The dinner was
not completely amiable.
224
00:08:41,955 --> 00:08:45,492
Trump became angry when
West asked the 2024
225
00:08:45,592 --> 00:08:48,328
presidential candidate
to serve as running
226
00:08:48,428 --> 00:08:50,631
mate for West's own
newly-announced
227
00:08:50,731 --> 00:08:52,432
presidential bid.
228
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:55,335
REPORTER: Ye posting this
video to Twitter, titled,
229
00:08:55,435 --> 00:08:58,305
"Mar-a-Lago Debrief,"
explaining he asked
230
00:08:58,405 --> 00:09:00,674
if Trump would be
his vice-presidential
231
00:09:00,774 --> 00:09:01,909
running mate at the dinner.
232
00:09:02,009 --> 00:09:03,243
KANYE WEST: I think
the thing that Trump
233
00:09:03,343 --> 00:09:05,312
was most perturbed about--
234
00:09:05,412 --> 00:09:07,648
me asking him to be
my vice president.
235
00:09:07,748 --> 00:09:13,820
But then, he goes on to
say that Kim is a [bleep]..
236
00:09:13,921 --> 00:09:15,556
You could tell her I said that.
237
00:09:15,656 --> 00:09:17,758
And I was thinking,
like, that's the mother
238
00:09:17,858 --> 00:09:19,092
of my children.
239
00:09:19,193 --> 00:09:22,029
Trump started, basically,
screaming at me at the table,
240
00:09:22,095 --> 00:09:23,497
telling me I was going to lose.
241
00:09:23,597 --> 00:09:26,200
I mean, has that ever worked
for anyone in history?
242
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:27,201
[laughter]
243
00:09:27,301 --> 00:09:29,336
"You're going to lose."
244
00:09:29,436 --> 00:09:31,238
I'm like, whoa, whoa,
hold on, hold on, Trump.
245
00:09:31,338 --> 00:09:32,840
You're talking to Ye.
246
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:39,947
[laughter]
247
00:09:41,515 --> 00:09:42,416
OK.
248
00:09:42,516 --> 00:09:45,485
First of all, Kanye--
249
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:48,722
whoever made his video--
they bleeped him when he said
250
00:09:48,822 --> 00:09:50,791
the thing that Trump said.
251
00:09:50,891 --> 00:09:54,328
And I'm going, you have
people that bleep you.
252
00:09:54,428 --> 00:09:57,865
Why don't you use them more?
253
00:09:57,965 --> 00:10:01,401
You should be like, here's what
I think about the-- boooop.
254
00:10:01,502 --> 00:10:04,371
Boooop, boooop, boooop.
255
00:10:04,471 --> 00:10:07,241
And also, the fact that
Trump got so mad at Kanye
256
00:10:07,341 --> 00:10:09,543
just shows you, like,
where his priorities are.
257
00:10:09,643 --> 00:10:11,044
He has no problem
hosting a guy who
258
00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:14,548
wants to go DEFCON 3 on the
Jews or the Holocaust denier
259
00:10:14,648 --> 00:10:16,750
that he brought to dinner with
him, who he got along with.
260
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:18,485
But if you ever
suggest he should
261
00:10:18,585 --> 00:10:20,387
be number two on
someone's ticket,
262
00:10:20,487 --> 00:10:22,956
Trump would be like,
you disgust me, sir!
263
00:10:23,056 --> 00:10:25,158
Talk like that, there's
no place in America.
264
00:10:25,259 --> 00:10:28,862
We don't talk like
that in this country.
265
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:30,097
And I get where
Trump is coming from.
266
00:10:30,197 --> 00:10:33,267
Kanye is asking Trump
to be his Mike Pence,
267
00:10:33,367 --> 00:10:36,036
and Trump is probably like, ew,
I could never be Mike Pence.
268
00:10:36,136 --> 00:10:38,772
I have sex with my eyes open.
269
00:10:38,872 --> 00:10:40,240
All right.
That's it for the headlines.
270
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:41,375
But before we go
to a quick break,
271
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:42,576
let's check in on
the stock market
272
00:10:42,676 --> 00:10:44,745
with our finance expert,
Michael Kosta, everybody!
273
00:10:44,845 --> 00:10:50,884
[applause, cheering]
274
00:10:51,885 --> 00:10:52,986
Michael, good to see you, man.
275
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:54,254
Good to see you.
276
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:56,156
What on earth is happening
in the market today, man?
277
00:10:56,256 --> 00:10:57,624
I'm crushing it, Trevor.
278
00:10:57,724 --> 00:11:00,427
I am crushing it, and I
got a hot tip for you.
279
00:11:00,527 --> 00:11:01,428
I got a hot tip for you.
280
00:11:01,528 --> 00:11:02,496
So pay attention, OK?
281
00:11:02,596 --> 00:11:04,932
Now, today, the
Dow was down big.
282
00:11:05,065 --> 00:11:05,933
All right?
283
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:07,234
But I don't care, all right?
284
00:11:07,334 --> 00:11:10,204
Because today is
Cyber Monday, right?
285
00:11:10,304 --> 00:11:13,807
Not to be confused with Black
Friday, or Small Business
286
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:16,376
Saturday, or Giving Tuesday.
287
00:11:16,476 --> 00:11:20,280
It's not Thirsty
Thursdays or Taco Tuesdays
288
00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:22,549
or Sunday, Bloody Sunday.
289
00:11:22,649 --> 00:11:26,086
It's Cyber Monday,
the day George
290
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:29,256
Washington declared 30% off
of all plasma-screen TVs,
291
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:30,591
all right?
292
00:11:30,691 --> 00:11:35,529
So the way I'm crushing it
today, Trevor, is by spending.
293
00:11:35,629 --> 00:11:36,897
All right?
294
00:11:36,997 --> 00:11:40,200
Experts like me know you got
to spend money to make money,
295
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:43,637
which is why today, I am making
boatloads of money, all right?
296
00:11:43,737 --> 00:11:46,106
Now, let me show
you what I'm buying.
297
00:11:46,173 --> 00:11:50,744
First thing in my cart-- a
"Stocks for Dummies" book.
298
00:11:50,844 --> 00:11:53,514
Look, I don't know shit
about stocks, all right?
299
00:11:53,614 --> 00:11:55,649
Yeah, I crush it, and
I make tons of money,
300
00:11:55,749 --> 00:11:57,484
but I don't
understand any of it.
301
00:11:57,584 --> 00:12:00,153
So as soon as I learn
to read, this book
302
00:12:00,254 --> 00:12:02,055
is going to be super helpful.
303
00:12:02,155 --> 00:12:05,959
Now, speaking of helpful,
the next thing in my cart--
304
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:07,794
seven breast pumps.
305
00:12:07,895 --> 00:12:09,329
Now, look.
306
00:12:09,429 --> 00:12:13,233
Little known fact-- they
can pump anything, OK?
307
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:15,269
You got a flooded basement?
308
00:12:15,369 --> 00:12:17,070
You need to put
air in your bicycle
309
00:12:17,104 --> 00:12:18,972
tires, muscle definition--
310
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:20,274
OK?
311
00:12:20,374 --> 00:12:22,743
How do you think I got these
fat baby twins, all right?
312
00:12:22,843 --> 00:12:24,711
By borrowing my
sister's breast pump.
313
00:12:24,811 --> 00:12:25,846
All right?
314
00:12:25,946 --> 00:12:27,381
And now, I'm going to
have seven of my own.
315
00:12:27,481 --> 00:12:29,116
Next item in my cart--
316
00:12:29,216 --> 00:12:30,117
a picture frame.
317
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:32,486
Look, I don't need
a picture frame.
318
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:35,856
But this is a family that
I want to be a part of.
319
00:12:35,956 --> 00:12:37,391
Look at that.
320
00:12:37,491 --> 00:12:40,427
Innocent, pure, together--
321
00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:42,763
I bet this family doesn't
think my mashed potatoes are
322
00:12:42,863 --> 00:12:43,764
too salty.
323
00:12:43,864 --> 00:12:45,132
You ever think about that?
324
00:12:45,232 --> 00:12:46,366
My family?
325
00:12:46,466 --> 00:12:47,367
Ugly.
326
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:48,669
OK, next one.
327
00:12:48,769 --> 00:12:50,237
I always wanted
to get a guitar,
328
00:12:50,337 --> 00:12:51,738
so I put a guitar in my cart.
329
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:53,607
And I was going to
get a real guitar,
330
00:12:53,707 --> 00:12:55,475
but I got this
Fisher Price one,
331
00:12:55,576 --> 00:12:57,644
cheap, no strings attached.
332
00:12:57,744 --> 00:13:03,350
Also, no strings attached, so
very easy to learn to play.
333
00:13:03,450 --> 00:13:06,887
Now, somber note-- on
my next item in my cart,
334
00:13:07,054 --> 00:13:08,755
it's an adult casket, OK?
335
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:11,325
Now, look, I'm not planning
on dying anytime soon,
336
00:13:11,425 --> 00:13:15,062
but I ate a bad egg sandwich
on a WestJet flight,
337
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:17,164
coming back from my ugly
family's Thanksgiving,
338
00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:19,066
and I was contemplating
my own death.
339
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:20,267
And during that
time, I thought,
340
00:13:20,367 --> 00:13:22,903
holy shit, I haven't
planned for my funeral!
341
00:13:23,070 --> 00:13:24,071
So I got a good deal.
342
00:13:24,104 --> 00:13:27,407
Also, caskets-- great
place for storage
343
00:13:27,508 --> 00:13:34,314
while you're still alive--
paper towels, kids toys.
344
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:37,417
New Yorkers, you get it.
345
00:13:37,518 --> 00:13:40,787
Smaller caskets, plus
bonus-- when my wife says,
346
00:13:40,888 --> 00:13:42,789
go sleep on the couch,
I say, OK, no problem.
347
00:13:42,890 --> 00:13:45,993
But secretly, I
sleep in the casket.
348
00:13:46,093 --> 00:13:47,294
Joke's on her.
349
00:13:47,394 --> 00:13:50,097
And with the extra storage
space, I got plenty of room
350
00:13:50,130 --> 00:13:53,567
for my last item-- seven more
breast pumps, just in case
351
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:54,935
my first seven break.
352
00:13:55,102 --> 00:13:56,203
That's why I'm the expert.
All right.
353
00:13:56,303 --> 00:13:57,704
I promised you a
hot tip, remember?
354
00:13:57,804 --> 00:13:58,705
All right?
355
00:13:58,805 --> 00:14:00,374
Hot tip-- stop watching
this right now,
356
00:14:00,474 --> 00:14:02,042
and start online shopping.
357
00:14:02,075 --> 00:14:04,478
You can't buy any of
this any other day.
358
00:14:04,578 --> 00:14:05,479
Back to you, Trevor.
359
00:14:05,579 --> 00:14:06,480
Let's go.
360
00:14:06,580 --> 00:14:09,316
Michael Kosta, everybody.
361
00:14:09,416 --> 00:14:10,851
Don't stop watching this.
Keep watching this.
362
00:14:10,951 --> 00:14:12,152
You can buy the things
whenever you want.
363
00:14:12,252 --> 00:14:13,153
All right, when we
come back, we're going
364
00:14:13,253 --> 00:14:14,454
to catch up on the World Cup.
365
00:14:14,555 --> 00:14:16,056
Plus, Will Smith is going to
be joining us on the show,
366
00:14:16,156 --> 00:14:17,057
so don't go away.
367
00:14:17,157 --> 00:14:20,360
[applause, cheering]
368
00:14:28,014 --> 00:14:35,021
[cheering]
369
00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:39,259
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
370
00:14:39,359 --> 00:14:42,061
Let's take a moment to
talk about the World Cup.
371
00:14:42,162 --> 00:14:46,900
It's the world's biggest soccer
tournament, when every four
372
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,835
years the best players
from the best countries
373
00:14:48,935 --> 00:14:51,538
gather to compete until one
team is declared champion
374
00:14:51,638 --> 00:14:53,439
of the world, or
until someone kicks
375
00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:55,608
the ball through the neighbor's
window, and we all run home.
376
00:14:55,708 --> 00:14:58,511
Now, because I'm from the
world, I love the World Cup.
377
00:14:58,611 --> 00:15:01,214
So let's catch up on
everything happening in Qatar
378
00:15:01,314 --> 00:15:03,716
with a new installment of
our World Cup coverage.
379
00:15:03,817 --> 00:15:07,187
[music playing]
380
00:15:07,287 --> 00:15:10,156
[cheering]
381
00:15:10,256 --> 00:15:13,193
The 2022 World Cup is
being hosted by Qatar,
382
00:15:13,293 --> 00:15:15,361
a Middle Eastern country
with a deep and rich
383
00:15:15,461 --> 00:15:16,863
history of having oil.
384
00:15:16,963 --> 00:15:19,132
And if you've been
following the news, you know
385
00:15:19,232 --> 00:15:21,334
that there's been some
controversies over Qatar
386
00:15:21,434 --> 00:15:23,937
hosting the World Cup,
like, did Qatar offer
387
00:15:24,037 --> 00:15:25,805
bribes to FIFA to be the host?
388
00:15:25,905 --> 00:15:27,540
Did Qatar exploit
migrant workers
389
00:15:27,707 --> 00:15:28,775
to build the soccer stadiums?
390
00:15:28,875 --> 00:15:31,110
Are we pronouncing Qatar right?
391
00:15:31,211 --> 00:15:34,113
Is it Qatar or is it
"Cutter" or is it "Cut-her"?
392
00:15:34,214 --> 00:15:35,982
And if we mumble it, do
you think they'll notice?
393
00:15:36,082 --> 00:15:37,617
All of these are questions.
394
00:15:37,717 --> 00:15:41,421
But one of the biggest
controversies that Qatar has
395
00:15:41,521 --> 00:15:42,722
has been the fact
that they have
396
00:15:42,755 --> 00:15:45,725
very strict laws prohibiting
same-sex relationships.
397
00:15:45,758 --> 00:15:47,827
And these anti-gay
policies are causing
398
00:15:47,927 --> 00:15:49,762
some tension on the pitch.
399
00:15:49,863 --> 00:15:52,499
REPORTER: Amid the
cheers of World Cup fans,
400
00:15:52,599 --> 00:15:54,534
controversy is simmering.
401
00:15:54,634 --> 00:15:57,504
It's over the host country
Qatar and other nations'
402
00:15:57,604 --> 00:16:00,206
treatment of LGBTQ people.
403
00:16:00,306 --> 00:16:03,009
REPORTER: Rainbow imagery, a
sudden flashpoint after FIFA
404
00:16:03,109 --> 00:16:05,645
demanded the captains
of seven European teams
405
00:16:05,745 --> 00:16:09,749
not wear this armband in
support of LGBTQ causes,
406
00:16:09,782 --> 00:16:12,785
insisting the captains
wear FIFA-sanctioned bands.
407
00:16:12,886 --> 00:16:14,754
REPORTER: The team captains
of several countries
408
00:16:14,854 --> 00:16:17,657
say they will not be wearing
the rainbow-colored 1 Love
409
00:16:17,757 --> 00:16:20,260
armbands as they had
intended after FIFA
410
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,996
threatened to give
players yellow cards just
411
00:16:23,096 --> 00:16:24,097
for doing so.
412
00:16:24,197 --> 00:16:25,798
After receiving two
yellow cards, of course,
413
00:16:25,899 --> 00:16:28,001
a player will face a
one-match suspension.
414
00:16:28,101 --> 00:16:29,002
Yeah, that's right.
415
00:16:29,102 --> 00:16:30,870
The captains of
seven European teams
416
00:16:30,970 --> 00:16:34,207
planned to show their support
of the LGBTQ community
417
00:16:34,307 --> 00:16:35,742
by wearing rainbow armbands.
418
00:16:35,842 --> 00:16:39,179
But then, when FIFA threatened
them with yellow cards,
419
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:42,849
they scrapped the idea,
which, in my opinion,
420
00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:46,152
shows that you're not the
ally you claim to be, right?
421
00:16:46,252 --> 00:16:47,887
You're just like, hey,
I support your right
422
00:16:47,987 --> 00:16:51,191
to live free from persecution
unless I get a warning
423
00:16:51,291 --> 00:16:52,625
in a game where I kick a ball.
Then I'm out.
424
00:16:52,725 --> 00:16:53,626
You gays are on your own.
425
00:16:53,726 --> 00:16:55,461
I'm just saying,
that's a yellow card.
426
00:16:55,562 --> 00:16:56,763
I mean-- [laughs]
427
00:16:56,863 --> 00:16:59,632
[applause]
428
00:16:59,732 --> 00:17:00,733
It's like a yellow card.
429
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,734
It's not even like you're out.
430
00:17:01,835 --> 00:17:03,069
Just a warning, and
you're like, yeah,
431
00:17:03,169 --> 00:17:04,571
no, [laughs] no, I can't.
432
00:17:04,737 --> 00:17:06,472
I tried.
433
00:17:06,573 --> 00:17:08,341
And, by the way, the
rainbow ban has got to be
434
00:17:08,441 --> 00:17:09,609
hard for the referees too.
435
00:17:09,742 --> 00:17:11,010
That's risky.
436
00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:12,278
Because the referees
are out there,
437
00:17:12,378 --> 00:17:13,947
and they're like, yellow card!
438
00:17:14,047 --> 00:17:14,948
Red card!
439
00:17:15,048 --> 00:17:16,649
Oh, wait, we just
started a rainbow.
440
00:17:16,749 --> 00:17:18,351
No!
441
00:17:18,451 --> 00:17:22,088
Don't take me away!
442
00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:23,590
Oh, a little crazy
story as well,
443
00:17:23,756 --> 00:17:27,093
if you happen to be in China
watching the World Cup,
444
00:17:27,193 --> 00:17:28,595
you probably are
missing some things.
445
00:17:28,695 --> 00:17:30,697
Because on the
government TV network,
446
00:17:30,797 --> 00:17:33,967
you'll barely see any
footage of the fans at all.
447
00:17:34,067 --> 00:17:36,703
Yeah, because China
doesn't want its citizens
448
00:17:36,736 --> 00:17:40,006
to see people from every other
country enjoying themselves
449
00:17:40,106 --> 00:17:41,875
without wearing masks.
450
00:17:41,975 --> 00:17:44,611
Yeah, because they're like--
they just don't want them
451
00:17:44,711 --> 00:17:46,980
to know that that's possible.
452
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,214
You know?
453
00:17:48,314 --> 00:17:49,949
And, I mean, it sounds
crazy, but it's the same way
454
00:17:50,049 --> 00:17:52,552
Canadian TV censors their
footage so it'll never
455
00:17:52,719 --> 00:17:53,586
show fans behaving rudely.
456
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,854
Because then Canadians
will be like,
457
00:17:54,954 --> 00:17:57,023
wait, other people are
telling others to [bleep] off?
458
00:17:57,123 --> 00:17:58,591
We didn't know
we could do that.
459
00:17:58,725 --> 00:18:00,994
Hey!
460
00:18:01,094 --> 00:18:02,428
But maybe my favorite
part of the World Cup
461
00:18:02,529 --> 00:18:04,230
is seeing how people from
different parts of the world
462
00:18:04,330 --> 00:18:06,299
find ways to yell
at each other.
463
00:18:06,399 --> 00:18:07,500
Because, remember,
a lot of the teams
464
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,302
have coaches who are
not from their country.
465
00:18:09,402 --> 00:18:11,104
You know, like, for instance,
Saudi Arabia's coach
466
00:18:11,204 --> 00:18:12,272
is actually French.
467
00:18:12,372 --> 00:18:13,840
He doesn't speak Arabic.
468
00:18:13,940 --> 00:18:18,111
But the Saudi translator
doesn't speak French.
469
00:18:18,211 --> 00:18:21,548
So when the coach got mad
at the team's performance
470
00:18:21,648 --> 00:18:24,818
in the first half, he had
to yell at them in English
471
00:18:24,918 --> 00:18:31,925
so that the translator could
yell at them in Arabic.
472
00:18:35,929 --> 00:18:42,936
TRANSLATOR: [speaking arabic]
473
00:18:48,541 --> 00:18:53,580
TRANSLATOR: [speaking arabic]
474
00:18:53,713 --> 00:18:57,016
TRANSLATOR: [speaking arabic]
475
00:18:57,116 --> 00:19:00,286
[laughter]
476
00:19:00,386 --> 00:19:01,254
Oh, wow.
477
00:19:01,354 --> 00:19:03,723
[applause]
478
00:19:03,756 --> 00:19:05,725
Oh.
479
00:19:05,758 --> 00:19:08,595
You see, this is the magic
of the World Cup, people,
480
00:19:08,728 --> 00:19:11,731
a French man yelling in
English to a group of Saudis
481
00:19:11,831 --> 00:19:12,799
about a British sport.
482
00:19:12,899 --> 00:19:14,901
It's beautiful.
483
00:19:15,001 --> 00:19:16,202
I also wonder if
the translator is
484
00:19:16,302 --> 00:19:18,538
augmenting the message so
he doesn't lose any friends.
485
00:19:18,638 --> 00:19:19,739
He's just like,
you are terrible!
486
00:19:19,772 --> 00:19:20,907
You all suck!
487
00:19:21,007 --> 00:19:23,109
You should be ashamed of
yourself-- is what he said.
488
00:19:23,209 --> 00:19:24,410
[laughter]
489
00:19:24,511 --> 00:19:26,179
Because you know me, Mahmoud.
I love you guys, eh?
490
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:27,680
I thought you were
great in the first half.
491
00:19:27,714 --> 00:19:29,716
I thought you guys were great.
492
00:19:29,816 --> 00:19:31,951
Now, so far, this World Cup
has had a lot of great moments.
493
00:19:32,051 --> 00:19:34,154
You know, Saudi Arabia
pulled off a huge upset
494
00:19:34,254 --> 00:19:35,355
over powerhouse Argentina.
495
00:19:35,455 --> 00:19:37,824
Mexico had a heroic penalty
save against Poland.
496
00:19:37,924 --> 00:19:39,726
Wales proved to the
whole world that they
497
00:19:39,826 --> 00:19:41,327
are a different
country than England.
498
00:19:41,427 --> 00:19:43,263
And one of the most
exciting moments
499
00:19:43,363 --> 00:19:46,299
was when Japan defeated
Germany in an incredible match.
500
00:19:46,399 --> 00:19:48,067
But my favorite
part of that game
501
00:19:48,168 --> 00:19:50,970
was what the Japanese
fans did after it.
502
00:19:51,070 --> 00:19:52,805
REPORTER: When
Japan beat Germany,
503
00:19:52,906 --> 00:19:54,040
fans were ecstatic, right?
504
00:19:54,140 --> 00:19:56,476
But instead of leaving after
the match to celebrate,
505
00:19:56,576 --> 00:19:59,479
hundreds of Japanese fans
stayed in the stadium
506
00:19:59,579 --> 00:20:03,483
and picked up the trash
that other fans left behind.
507
00:20:03,583 --> 00:20:06,486
Pictures on social media show
the Japanese fans threading
508
00:20:06,586 --> 00:20:08,822
their way through the seats,
making sure the stadium
509
00:20:08,922 --> 00:20:10,857
was tidy before leaving.
510
00:20:10,957 --> 00:20:12,759
Some online comments
calling them
511
00:20:12,859 --> 00:20:15,361
the best guests in the world.
512
00:20:15,461 --> 00:20:18,798
Wow, that is amazing.
513
00:20:18,898 --> 00:20:20,733
Unfortunately, all of
those Japanese fans
514
00:20:20,767 --> 00:20:22,735
were arrested
because the Qatari
515
00:20:22,769 --> 00:20:24,237
police deemed the
act of tidying up,
516
00:20:24,337 --> 00:20:25,605
quote, "kind of gay."
517
00:20:25,738 --> 00:20:28,741
[laughter]
518
00:20:28,842 --> 00:20:31,311
Now I'm not going to lie.
519
00:20:31,411 --> 00:20:32,846
This is one of the most
amazing things to see.
520
00:20:32,946 --> 00:20:33,880
And you see it at
every World Cup.
521
00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:35,515
It'll be Japan.
It'll be South Korea.
522
00:20:35,682 --> 00:20:38,351
And I think it's a valuable
lesson to all of us.
523
00:20:38,451 --> 00:20:40,320
If you are throwing a
party, make sure you invite
524
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:42,088
Japanese fans to your house.
525
00:20:42,188 --> 00:20:43,456
Because then you don't
have to clean up.
526
00:20:43,556 --> 00:20:45,525
And if you ask me, though,
this is a huge flex
527
00:20:45,692 --> 00:20:46,526
from the Japanese fans.
528
00:20:46,693 --> 00:20:47,827
Everyone's like,
oh, it's so humble.
529
00:20:47,927 --> 00:20:49,162
No, it's a flex.
530
00:20:49,262 --> 00:20:52,732
What is a more baller move
than beating somebody, and then
531
00:20:52,832 --> 00:20:54,968
cleaning up after them?
532
00:20:55,068 --> 00:20:56,069
Yeah.
533
00:20:56,169 --> 00:20:58,404
Like, here, oh, let me
take out your trash.
534
00:20:58,505 --> 00:20:59,405
Oh.
535
00:20:59,506 --> 00:21:00,707
Oh, did you drop this?
536
00:21:00,807 --> 00:21:02,008
Did you drop this?
Oh, yeah.
537
00:21:02,108 --> 00:21:03,710
No, no, no.
We'll clean up.
538
00:21:03,776 --> 00:21:05,712
You guys can go and figure
out how to play soccer.
539
00:21:05,745 --> 00:21:06,779
Yeah, we'll just do that.
540
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,181
All right, we're going
to take a quick break.
541
00:21:08,281 --> 00:21:09,382
But stay tuned because
when we come back,
542
00:21:09,482 --> 00:21:10,884
the one and only Will
Smith will be joining
543
00:21:10,984 --> 00:21:11,985
me right here on the show.
544
00:21:12,085 --> 00:21:12,986
Don't go away.
545
00:21:13,086 --> 00:21:16,623
[cheering]
546
00:21:24,063 --> 00:21:29,602
[applause]
547
00:21:29,702 --> 00:21:31,771
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
548
00:21:31,871 --> 00:21:35,608
My guest tonight is an Academy
Award-winning actor and Grammy
549
00:21:35,708 --> 00:21:37,076
award-winning rapper.
550
00:21:37,176 --> 00:21:39,712
He's going to talk about
his new film, Emancipation,
551
00:21:39,812 --> 00:21:41,047
which will be in
select theaters
552
00:21:41,147 --> 00:21:45,051
this Friday and streaming
on Apple TV+ December 9.
553
00:21:45,151 --> 00:21:47,620
I heard it myself.
554
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,957
Slaves are free.
555
00:21:51,057 --> 00:21:55,094
Free?
556
00:21:55,194 --> 00:21:56,963
Says who?
557
00:21:57,063 --> 00:21:58,397
Lincoln.
558
00:21:58,498 --> 00:22:00,266
We must get to Baton Rouge.
559
00:22:00,366 --> 00:22:04,137
Lincoln's army is there.
560
00:22:04,237 --> 00:22:05,638
It's true.
561
00:22:05,738 --> 00:22:11,144
I heard it also.
562
00:22:11,244 --> 00:22:15,748
So where is Baton Rouge?
563
00:22:15,848 --> 00:22:19,719
Five days from the swamp.
564
00:22:19,819 --> 00:22:22,822
There are many ways
to die in a swamp.
565
00:22:22,922 --> 00:22:25,291
There are many
ways to die here.
566
00:22:25,391 --> 00:22:26,793
Please welcome Will Smith.
567
00:22:26,893 --> 00:22:33,833
[applause]
568
00:22:34,834 --> 00:22:38,104
[inaudible]
569
00:22:38,204 --> 00:22:39,105
Thank you.
570
00:22:39,205 --> 00:22:40,573
Thank you.
571
00:22:40,673 --> 00:22:43,042
How we doing?
572
00:22:43,142 --> 00:22:45,011
Oh.
573
00:22:45,111 --> 00:22:48,314
Thank you, thank
you, thank you.
574
00:22:48,414 --> 00:22:49,315
Oh, man.
575
00:22:49,415 --> 00:22:51,818
Mr. Will Smith.
576
00:22:51,918 --> 00:22:53,486
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
- Kind sir.
577
00:22:53,586 --> 00:22:54,487
How are you?
578
00:22:54,587 --> 00:22:55,521
I am so good.
579
00:22:55,688 --> 00:22:57,824
I flew 30 hours to
be here with you.
580
00:22:57,924 --> 00:22:58,991
- Where were you?
- Yes.
581
00:22:59,091 --> 00:22:59,992
Where were you?
582
00:23:00,092 --> 00:23:01,694
In Bhutan.
583
00:23:01,727 --> 00:23:02,695
What are you doing there?
584
00:23:02,728 --> 00:23:04,964
Bhutan, The Nat Geo show.
585
00:23:05,064 --> 00:23:06,265
So you're traveling
around the world.
586
00:23:06,365 --> 00:23:07,567
Traveling around the world.
587
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:08,801
Just like--
588
00:23:08,901 --> 00:23:10,736
Finding the secrets of life.
589
00:23:10,837 --> 00:23:12,071
And are you finding them?
590
00:23:12,171 --> 00:23:14,107
No, not yet, not yet.
591
00:23:14,207 --> 00:23:15,508
Yeah, because we've
seen you everywhere.
592
00:23:15,608 --> 00:23:17,143
I mean, you've been
everywhere in the world.
593
00:23:17,243 --> 00:23:19,712
You say Bhutan, you travel
the Middle East and Africa.
594
00:23:19,779 --> 00:23:21,214
And where are you
going next, South Pole?
595
00:23:21,314 --> 00:23:22,949
- South Pole, yes.
- That's a real thing.
596
00:23:23,049 --> 00:23:24,517
- Yes.
- But why?
597
00:23:24,650 --> 00:23:25,518
Why?
598
00:23:25,651 --> 00:23:26,652
Yeah.
599
00:23:26,752 --> 00:23:28,087
Like, what are you
hoping to discover there?
600
00:23:28,187 --> 00:23:29,355
That Black people
don't like the cold?
601
00:23:29,455 --> 00:23:30,456
What do you, doing?
602
00:23:30,556 --> 00:23:31,991
Like, what do you, why
are you there, Will?
603
00:23:32,091 --> 00:23:34,060
No, so the show
is, I don't know
604
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,394
if I'm supposed to
be announcing it yet,
605
00:23:35,495 --> 00:23:36,829
but the show is
called Pole to Pole.
606
00:23:36,929 --> 00:23:38,064
OK.
607
00:23:38,164 --> 00:23:40,767
So we're going from the
South Pole to the North Pole
608
00:23:40,867 --> 00:23:42,902
and all the stops
along the way.
609
00:23:43,002 --> 00:23:47,240
And we are, it's called
Other People's Wisdom.
610
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:49,342
So we're seeking the wisdom.
611
00:23:49,442 --> 00:23:50,810
There are people who
live at the South Pole,
612
00:23:50,910 --> 00:23:52,044
they're researchers.
613
00:23:52,145 --> 00:23:53,246
So we're going there, we're
going to talk to them.
614
00:23:53,346 --> 00:23:54,247
Right.
All the scientists.
615
00:23:54,347 --> 00:23:55,581
All the scientists.
616
00:23:55,681 --> 00:23:57,283
Basically they say like the
world's knowledge is stored
617
00:23:57,383 --> 00:23:58,284
at the South Pole essentially.
618
00:23:58,384 --> 00:24:00,086
- Yes, absolutely.
- Right.
619
00:24:00,186 --> 00:24:01,687
You got me crying, you're
making me cry already.
620
00:24:01,788 --> 00:24:03,089
When we're talking
about the South Pole?
621
00:24:03,189 --> 00:24:05,057
Yeah, we're
talking about, just,
622
00:24:05,158 --> 00:24:06,826
the South Pole is just such a.
623
00:24:06,926 --> 00:24:09,562
[laughs]
624
00:24:09,695 --> 00:24:13,166
When I think about
all that cold.
625
00:24:13,266 --> 00:24:14,700
I'm surprised you're
awake, man, thank you.
626
00:24:14,767 --> 00:24:16,502
The guy who
discovered the South
627
00:24:16,602 --> 00:24:18,471
Pole is named Will Smith.
628
00:24:18,571 --> 00:24:19,472
For real?
629
00:24:19,572 --> 00:24:21,507
Yeah, that's true.
630
00:24:21,607 --> 00:24:22,708
You said that so
I don't even know
631
00:24:22,809 --> 00:24:23,776
if you're lying right now.
632
00:24:23,876 --> 00:24:26,045
You said, you said
that's so convincingly.
633
00:24:26,145 --> 00:24:27,413
I know, no, it's
true, it's true.
634
00:24:27,513 --> 00:24:29,849
You'll be, somebody can Google
it, somebody can Google it.
635
00:24:29,949 --> 00:24:31,684
OK, all right, I'll
just believe you.
636
00:24:31,784 --> 00:24:32,919
So you're traveling
around the world.
637
00:24:33,019 --> 00:24:33,920
Yeah.
638
00:24:34,020 --> 00:24:34,921
Emancipation.
639
00:24:35,021 --> 00:24:36,722
I just, I just watched it.
640
00:24:36,823 --> 00:24:41,260
It is a, I mean, it's so hard
to describe movies like this,
641
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:43,496
because people see
it in the clip,
642
00:24:43,663 --> 00:24:47,433
but you play one
of the most famous
643
00:24:47,533 --> 00:24:49,669
unknown people, surprisingly,
and you know what I mean.
644
00:24:49,702 --> 00:24:50,570
Absolutely.
645
00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:52,238
From America's history.
646
00:24:52,338 --> 00:24:56,242
A man whose picture went
around the world that basically
647
00:24:56,342 --> 00:24:58,344
showed many people
who didn't know
648
00:24:58,444 --> 00:25:01,047
innately how
brutal slavery was.
649
00:25:01,147 --> 00:25:02,448
Let's talk about
this first of all.
650
00:25:02,548 --> 00:25:03,916
Emancipation is not
the kind of film
651
00:25:04,016 --> 00:25:06,319
we would expect to see you
in immediately as Will Smith.
652
00:25:06,419 --> 00:25:07,320
Yeah, yeah.
653
00:25:07,420 --> 00:25:08,387
So why this project?
654
00:25:08,488 --> 00:25:09,589
Why get into the story?
655
00:25:09,689 --> 00:25:11,390
And why this story
in particular?
656
00:25:11,491 --> 00:25:16,028
When I read this script,
man, it's like, you've
657
00:25:16,129 --> 00:25:18,064
probably seen the image.
658
00:25:18,164 --> 00:25:23,269
It's of a Black man and
it's his back and his arm
659
00:25:23,369 --> 00:25:24,270
and he's sitting.
660
00:25:24,370 --> 00:25:25,538
So it's a pretty
famous picture.
661
00:25:25,638 --> 00:25:26,539
I think we have
that image here.
662
00:25:26,639 --> 00:25:27,640
Yeah.
663
00:25:27,740 --> 00:25:28,541
I think it's one of
the famous ones, yes.
664
00:25:28,641 --> 00:25:29,542
Right.
665
00:25:29,642 --> 00:25:31,911
Yeah, so it's that image.
666
00:25:32,011 --> 00:25:35,681
And first, seeing that image
was one of the things that
667
00:25:35,782 --> 00:25:40,653
really got me excited
to explore this,
668
00:25:40,753 --> 00:25:43,389
because you see the image, but
you don't know who he is, you
669
00:25:43,489 --> 00:25:44,490
don't know what the story is.
670
00:25:44,657 --> 00:25:47,293
And then as I started
to do the research,
671
00:25:47,393 --> 00:25:54,400
and it's American slavery was
one of the most brutal aspects
672
00:25:57,670 --> 00:25:58,838
of human history.
- Right.
673
00:25:58,938 --> 00:26:00,173
You know.
674
00:26:00,273 --> 00:26:06,679
It was something that was so
incomprehensible, you know.
675
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,982
It was just so, it's
hard to understand
676
00:26:10,082 --> 00:26:14,187
the level of human cruelty.
677
00:26:14,287 --> 00:26:16,556
And the screenplay
was spectacular.
678
00:26:16,689 --> 00:26:17,857
Uh-huh.
679
00:26:17,957 --> 00:26:23,029
And Antoine Fuqua just, he
did his thing on this, man.
680
00:26:23,129 --> 00:26:24,030
And you know--
681
00:26:24,130 --> 00:26:25,331
It's gripping the
whole way through,
682
00:26:25,431 --> 00:26:26,499
I'll tell you that much.
683
00:26:26,632 --> 00:26:27,633
It's scary.
684
00:26:27,733 --> 00:26:29,102
It is gripping.
685
00:26:29,202 --> 00:26:30,636
It is not glamorizing.
686
00:26:30,703 --> 00:26:35,208
Because it is the story
of how the Union is moving
687
00:26:35,308 --> 00:26:38,177
and people start hearing
whispers of Lincoln
688
00:26:38,277 --> 00:26:40,780
has declared that
slavery is abolished.
689
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:41,981
He's freed the slaves.
690
00:26:42,081 --> 00:26:43,182
Yes.
691
00:26:43,282 --> 00:26:45,017
But then you see how many
people haven't received
692
00:26:45,118 --> 00:26:47,019
that news and you see how
that news doesn't change
693
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:48,054
everybody's lives overnight.
694
00:26:48,154 --> 00:26:49,055
Yeah.
695
00:26:49,155 --> 00:26:50,957
So the Emancipation
was January 1.
696
00:26:51,057 --> 00:26:51,991
Right.
697
00:26:52,091 --> 00:26:55,194
And slaves weren't
free until June 19.
698
00:26:55,294 --> 00:26:56,195
Right.
699
00:26:56,295 --> 00:26:58,030
So the period of
the Emancipation--
700
00:26:58,131 --> 00:26:59,031
'65, right?
701
00:26:59,132 --> 00:27:00,233
1865 I think, yeah.
702
00:27:00,333 --> 00:27:01,667
1865, yeah.
703
00:27:01,734 --> 00:27:07,306
So January 1, slaves were free,
but the South refused to allow
704
00:27:07,406 --> 00:27:08,441
the slaves to be free.
705
00:27:08,541 --> 00:27:11,878
So the enslaved people
started trying to run
706
00:27:11,978 --> 00:27:14,080
to get to Lincoln's army.
707
00:27:14,180 --> 00:27:17,250
And in Baton Rouge is
where Lincoln's army was
708
00:27:17,350 --> 00:27:19,685
from this place in Louisiana.
709
00:27:19,786 --> 00:27:24,290
So it's about that period
where the slaves were free,
710
00:27:24,390 --> 00:27:25,925
but they weren't being freed.
711
00:27:26,025 --> 00:27:31,397
So it is a beautiful,
beautiful movie.
712
00:27:31,497 --> 00:27:34,767
You know, my daughter asked
me, she's like, Daddy,
713
00:27:34,867 --> 00:27:37,270
do we really need
another slave movie,
714
00:27:37,370 --> 00:27:38,371
when I was thinking about it.
715
00:27:38,471 --> 00:27:41,007
And I was like, I said,
baby, I promise you
716
00:27:41,107 --> 00:27:42,842
I wouldn't make a slave movie.
717
00:27:42,942 --> 00:27:44,644
This is a freedom
movie, you know.
718
00:27:44,744 --> 00:27:46,345
- Oh, wow.
- You know.
719
00:27:46,446 --> 00:27:47,513
Oh, wow.
720
00:27:47,647 --> 00:27:48,714
Yeah, you know.
721
00:27:48,815 --> 00:27:49,982
Wow.
722
00:27:50,082 --> 00:27:51,484
Yeah.
723
00:27:51,651 --> 00:27:52,952
It is interesting
that you say that.
724
00:27:53,052 --> 00:27:54,253
Yeah.
725
00:27:54,353 --> 00:27:56,456
It is interesting that you
say that, because the story,
726
00:27:56,556 --> 00:27:58,458
one of my favorite
lines in the movie
727
00:27:58,558 --> 00:28:01,294
is when I think
it's one of the,
728
00:28:01,394 --> 00:28:02,662
he's leading one
of the battalions
729
00:28:02,695 --> 00:28:04,297
and he talks to your
character, right, he's
730
00:28:04,397 --> 00:28:06,799
like a general commando, and
he says to your character,
731
00:28:06,899 --> 00:28:08,101
he says, I was born free.
732
00:28:08,201 --> 00:28:09,669
And he says we're
allowed to own houses,
733
00:28:09,769 --> 00:28:11,170
we're allowed to do this--
- We're allowed, yeah, yeah.
734
00:28:11,270 --> 00:28:12,171
--we're allowed.
735
00:28:12,271 --> 00:28:13,506
And your character says to him.
736
00:28:13,673 --> 00:28:17,310
If someone must allow you
to do it, are you really free.
737
00:28:17,410 --> 00:28:18,311
Right.
738
00:28:18,411 --> 00:28:19,545
You know.
739
00:28:19,679 --> 00:28:24,617
And this film, what's
really interesting about it
740
00:28:24,717 --> 00:28:30,423
is, it centers on faith
and the power of faith
741
00:28:30,523 --> 00:28:34,460
to be able to endure anything.
742
00:28:34,627 --> 00:28:40,199
And this character is
just, what he had to endure
743
00:28:40,299 --> 00:28:47,140
and what he had to survive,
only God could make a man when
744
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,742
you look at those
marks on his back,
745
00:28:49,842 --> 00:28:56,182
only God could make
that possible, you know.
746
00:28:56,282 --> 00:28:58,985
He talks about a period,
in doing the research,
747
00:28:59,085 --> 00:29:03,322
he talks about he was
whipped into a coma.
748
00:29:03,422 --> 00:29:06,125
And he was in a coma
for three months.
749
00:29:06,225 --> 00:29:11,330
And he said that he met God
while he was in the coma.
750
00:29:11,431 --> 00:29:15,001
And when he came out,
he believed in a way
751
00:29:15,101 --> 00:29:16,569
that he had never
believed before.
752
00:29:16,669 --> 00:29:17,737
Wow.
753
00:29:17,837 --> 00:29:21,774
And I learned the difference
between faith and
754
00:29:21,874 --> 00:29:23,743
revelation, right?
755
00:29:23,843 --> 00:29:24,977
Right.
756
00:29:25,077 --> 00:29:27,046
So faith is one thing,
when you have to have faith.
757
00:29:27,146 --> 00:29:29,248
I'm not crying, dude, my eyes,
you know, I just got tired.
758
00:29:29,348 --> 00:29:30,950
I got airplane eyes,
I got airplane eyes.
759
00:29:31,050 --> 00:29:32,218
You've been on a
plane for 30 hours.
760
00:29:32,318 --> 00:29:33,920
Yeah, I got airplane
eyes, you know.
761
00:29:34,020 --> 00:29:37,890
But the difference between
faith and revelation
762
00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:43,863
that he walked in the
world with a knowledge
763
00:29:43,963 --> 00:29:46,899
of the divine, with a
knowledge of God that
764
00:29:46,999 --> 00:29:49,035
was just something
I desperately wanted
765
00:29:49,135 --> 00:29:50,269
to understand and explore.
766
00:29:50,369 --> 00:29:52,171
Yeah, I mean,
you watch the film,
767
00:29:52,271 --> 00:29:54,774
you wonder, you know it's
one of those movies where you
768
00:29:54,874 --> 00:29:57,477
watch it and you go, this is
harrowing, this is gripping,
769
00:29:57,643 --> 00:29:59,011
this is, it's wild.
770
00:29:59,112 --> 00:30:00,413
It seems unbelievable.
771
00:30:00,513 --> 00:30:04,650
And then you see the images of
the real person and your mind
772
00:30:04,684 --> 00:30:06,953
cannot comprehend
that it was possible
773
00:30:07,053 --> 00:30:08,221
for this to happen
to a human being
774
00:30:08,321 --> 00:30:10,089
and that they actually exist.
775
00:30:10,189 --> 00:30:12,992
It's a story that goes
beyond everything.
776
00:30:13,092 --> 00:30:15,228
And I'd love to know,
like in the telling
777
00:30:15,328 --> 00:30:18,498
of the story beyond
faith, beyond revelation,
778
00:30:18,664 --> 00:30:20,700
what is the biggest thing
you took away from it?
779
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,502
Because it's interesting,
you know, I get
780
00:30:22,668 --> 00:30:23,469
what your daughter was saying.
781
00:30:23,603 --> 00:30:24,604
Do we need another slave movie?
782
00:30:24,637 --> 00:30:25,671
Yeah.
783
00:30:25,772 --> 00:30:27,073
And I understand what
you're saying about it
784
00:30:27,173 --> 00:30:28,407
being a freedom movie.
785
00:30:28,508 --> 00:30:30,143
But I feel like each story
has a different message.
786
00:30:30,243 --> 00:30:31,210
Yes.
787
00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:32,645
Because it's a movement.
It's a revolution.
788
00:30:32,745 --> 00:30:34,013
- Absolutely.
- It's a quest for freedom.
789
00:30:34,113 --> 00:30:35,348
What do you think was
the biggest lesson
790
00:30:35,448 --> 00:30:36,682
you took away from the story?
791
00:30:36,783 --> 00:30:40,653
You know, I think that
as an actor, any time
792
00:30:40,753 --> 00:30:44,390
you go into these
characters and you
793
00:30:44,490 --> 00:30:48,928
go this deep into
these roles, it
794
00:30:49,028 --> 00:30:50,430
changes something about you.
795
00:30:50,530 --> 00:30:55,067
You understand something that
you didn't understand before.
796
00:30:55,168 --> 00:31:00,406
And I guess the
major thing that
797
00:31:00,506 --> 00:31:06,312
came through for me
with Peter is the power
798
00:31:06,412 --> 00:31:09,015
of the direction of love.
799
00:31:09,115 --> 00:31:12,852
So this is, he's trying
to get back to his family.
800
00:31:12,952 --> 00:31:18,191
And that comprehension of
love and how love actually
801
00:31:18,291 --> 00:31:19,692
is a superpower.
802
00:31:19,792 --> 00:31:23,329
When you can fill your heart
with that kind of love,
803
00:31:23,429 --> 00:31:27,433
it's a propulsion that is
unlike any other thing.
804
00:31:27,533 --> 00:31:29,902
It's stronger than fear,
it's stronger than hate,
805
00:31:30,002 --> 00:31:33,139
it's stronger than tired.
806
00:31:33,239 --> 00:31:38,111
It's like, when you can really
latch into and fill your heart
807
00:31:38,211 --> 00:31:42,482
with love in a way, it
really is shield and armor
808
00:31:42,582 --> 00:31:45,218
unlike anything that exists.
809
00:31:45,318 --> 00:31:47,620
That's beautiful.
810
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:48,921
It really is.
Congrats again.
811
00:31:49,021 --> 00:31:50,256
Yeah.
812
00:31:50,356 --> 00:31:53,526
You know, congrats on the
movie, great seeing you again.
813
00:31:53,626 --> 00:31:55,528
It's been a while since I
last, so it's been a while
814
00:31:55,628 --> 00:31:57,063
since many people have
seen you, you know.
815
00:31:57,163 --> 00:31:58,064
Yeah.
816
00:31:58,164 --> 00:32:01,300
I've been away.
817
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,237
What y'all been doing?
818
00:32:04,337 --> 00:32:05,404
Thank you, baby.
819
00:32:05,505 --> 00:32:09,175
It's, yeah, it's
been, I can only imagine
820
00:32:09,275 --> 00:32:10,643
what it's been like for you.
821
00:32:10,743 --> 00:32:12,712
Because it has been
weird for many of us.
822
00:32:12,812 --> 00:32:14,747
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
823
00:32:14,847 --> 00:32:15,748
You're Will Smith.
824
00:32:15,848 --> 00:32:17,183
Yeah.
825
00:32:17,283 --> 00:32:20,553
No, you are, you know,
you're Will Smith.
826
00:32:20,653 --> 00:32:21,788
Yeah.
827
00:32:21,888 --> 00:32:24,257
You are you are one of
the biggest movie stars that
828
00:32:24,357 --> 00:32:26,826
has ever existed, one
of my favorite people
829
00:32:26,926 --> 00:32:28,261
that I've ever seen
inhabit a screen.
830
00:32:28,361 --> 00:32:29,295
Thank you, man.
831
00:32:29,395 --> 00:32:31,464
You know, and then
you had the Oscars.
832
00:32:31,564 --> 00:32:32,465
Yeah.
833
00:32:32,565 --> 00:32:34,667
Where in one night, you--
834
00:32:34,734 --> 00:32:37,270
I have no independent
recollection of the--
835
00:32:37,370 --> 00:32:41,374
I can only imagine,
because you won,
836
00:32:41,474 --> 00:32:43,376
you won your first
Oscar that night.
837
00:32:43,476 --> 00:32:44,811
Well deserved Oscar that night.
838
00:32:44,911 --> 00:32:48,681
But it is simultaneously in
many ways, not the worst,
839
00:32:48,714 --> 00:32:50,683
I won't say the worse, because
I know the life you've lived,
840
00:32:50,716 --> 00:32:51,717
I've read the book.
841
00:32:51,818 --> 00:32:54,153
But it is one of the
best days of your life
842
00:32:54,253 --> 00:32:56,522
and one of the worst
days of your life.
843
00:32:56,689 --> 00:32:59,692
And I would I'd love to know,
I mean, just us talking.
844
00:32:59,725 --> 00:33:03,362
First of all, what
has the journey
845
00:33:03,463 --> 00:33:05,198
been like since that day?
846
00:33:05,298 --> 00:33:07,967
Like, because we,
everyone speculates,
847
00:33:08,067 --> 00:33:10,169
everyone just see it and goes,
I think this, I think this,
848
00:33:10,269 --> 00:33:11,170
I think that.
849
00:33:11,270 --> 00:33:12,438
What has it been like for you?
850
00:33:12,538 --> 00:33:19,045
Yeah, that was a horrific
night, as you can imagine.
851
00:33:20,313 --> 00:33:26,752
There's many nuances and
complexities to it, you know.
852
00:33:28,054 --> 00:33:32,158
But at the end of the day,
I just I lost it, you know.
853
00:33:32,258 --> 00:33:38,931
And I guess what I would
say, you just never know
854
00:33:39,932 --> 00:33:41,968
what somebody's going through.
855
00:33:42,068 --> 00:33:46,005
In the audience right
now, you're sitting
856
00:33:46,105 --> 00:33:49,709
next to strangers, you know.
857
00:33:49,809 --> 00:33:55,081
And somebody's mother
died last week, you know.
858
00:33:55,181 --> 00:33:58,551
Somebody's child
is sick, you know.
859
00:33:58,684 --> 00:34:00,920
Somebody just lost their job.
860
00:34:01,020 --> 00:34:03,222
Somebody just found out their
spouse cheated, you know.
861
00:34:03,322 --> 00:34:07,760
It's like there's all these
things and there's strangers
862
00:34:07,860 --> 00:34:12,231
and you just don't know
what's going on with people.
863
00:34:12,331 --> 00:34:16,502
And I was going through
something that night,
864
00:34:16,602 --> 00:34:18,905
you know.
865
00:34:19,005 --> 00:34:22,108
Not that justifies
my behavior at all.
866
00:34:22,208 --> 00:34:23,910
I would just say,
you're asking what
867
00:34:24,010 --> 00:34:30,116
did I learn, and
it's that we just
868
00:34:30,216 --> 00:34:31,884
got to be nice to each
other, man, you know.
869
00:34:31,984 --> 00:34:34,720
It's like, it's hard.
870
00:34:34,821 --> 00:34:38,024
And I guess the thing that
was most painful for me
871
00:34:38,124 --> 00:34:42,462
is I took my heart and made
it hard for other people,
872
00:34:42,562 --> 00:34:43,663
you know.
873
00:34:43,729 --> 00:34:45,531
And it's like I understood
the idea where they
874
00:34:45,665 --> 00:34:47,166
say hurt people hurt people.
- Yeah, yeah.
875
00:34:47,266 --> 00:34:48,167
You know?
876
00:34:48,267 --> 00:34:50,269
And it's like--
877
00:34:50,369 --> 00:34:52,705
You know, it's interesting.
878
00:34:52,805 --> 00:34:55,374
I remember, again,
everybody is speculating.
879
00:34:55,475 --> 00:34:57,276
And one of my friends
called me and we're talking,
880
00:34:57,376 --> 00:34:58,811
we're talking, everyone's
got these opinions,
881
00:34:58,911 --> 00:35:02,014
and then someone said, I feel
like we saw the real Will
882
00:35:02,115 --> 00:35:03,416
Smith in that moment.
883
00:35:03,516 --> 00:35:05,685
Because this is a guy who's so
full of love and so positive,
884
00:35:05,718 --> 00:35:08,020
but I feel like in that moment
we saw the real Will Smith.
885
00:35:08,121 --> 00:35:11,691
And I said, and not
because I know you,
886
00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:14,060
but I said honestly, I
said no, if anything,
887
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,561
I feel like it
was the opposite.
888
00:35:15,695 --> 00:35:19,799
Like, you talk in your book
about growing up so afraid
889
00:35:19,899 --> 00:35:20,800
of conflict.
890
00:35:20,900 --> 00:35:22,001
You grow up in
your book talking
891
00:35:22,101 --> 00:35:24,904
about how you were always
afraid to fight with,
892
00:35:25,004 --> 00:35:26,639
how you were afraid to.
893
00:35:26,672 --> 00:35:28,708
For me it felt like in
watching that moment,
894
00:35:28,808 --> 00:35:32,411
I felt like you were like,
is, it's like in a way
895
00:35:32,512 --> 00:35:34,547
it was like you stood
up for the wrong thing
896
00:35:34,647 --> 00:35:36,349
at the wrong time in a way.
897
00:35:36,449 --> 00:35:38,217
- Yeah, yeah.
- You know what I'm saying?
898
00:35:38,317 --> 00:35:39,519
It felt like you're
taking everything.
899
00:35:39,652 --> 00:35:42,388
Because here we are, human
to human, man to man.
900
00:35:42,488 --> 00:35:45,258
But like people have
said some shitty things
901
00:35:45,358 --> 00:35:46,993
about you and your family.
- Absolutely.
902
00:35:47,093 --> 00:35:48,461
You know.
You're a human being.
903
00:35:48,561 --> 00:35:50,663
It felt like, and
I would say this,
904
00:35:50,730 --> 00:35:52,665
because like it
is it's becoming
905
00:35:52,698 --> 00:35:54,700
relentlessly shitty now.
906
00:35:54,801 --> 00:35:56,269
And people think it's OK.
- Yes.
907
00:35:56,369 --> 00:35:57,270
That's the thing.
People think it's OK.
908
00:35:57,370 --> 00:35:58,471
And not Chris, by the way.
909
00:35:58,571 --> 00:36:00,873
I'm talking about people,
the internet, et cetera.
910
00:36:00,973 --> 00:36:04,377
But it felt like
this was Will Smith
911
00:36:04,477 --> 00:36:06,779
for the first time
going, OK, is this how
912
00:36:06,879 --> 00:36:08,748
you want me to respond or not.
913
00:36:08,848 --> 00:36:12,285
Yeah, no, it was
a lot of things.
914
00:36:12,385 --> 00:36:15,488
It was the little boy
that watched his father
915
00:36:15,588 --> 00:36:18,691
beat up his mother, you know.
916
00:36:18,758 --> 00:36:24,931
All of that just bubbled
up in that moment.
917
00:36:25,031 --> 00:36:28,668
You know, I just, that's
not who I want to be.
918
00:36:28,768 --> 00:36:29,669
Right.
919
00:36:29,769 --> 00:36:31,471
You've known me
for a long time,
920
00:36:31,637 --> 00:36:34,273
so you know me
personally, so you know.
921
00:36:34,373 --> 00:36:38,878
But you know, y'all
might not know.
922
00:36:38,978 --> 00:36:41,781
It's like, that's not
who I want to be, man.
923
00:36:41,881 --> 00:36:43,449
I'm trying to, I'm trying to--
924
00:36:43,549 --> 00:36:44,951
But I also think
that's not who you are.
925
00:36:45,051 --> 00:36:45,952
I'll be honest with you.
926
00:36:46,052 --> 00:36:47,120
I think it's not who you are.
927
00:36:47,220 --> 00:36:49,722
I think everybody
can make a mistake.
928
00:36:49,822 --> 00:36:54,360
And I think, I think
in my honest opinion,
929
00:36:54,460 --> 00:36:58,364
I think how I think of
living my life, as I say.
930
00:36:58,464 --> 00:36:59,432
Now I'm crying for real, OK?
931
00:36:59,532 --> 00:37:00,666
No, no, no.
932
00:37:00,767 --> 00:37:03,236
No, but I mean, but I
mean, I mean this honestly.
933
00:37:03,336 --> 00:37:04,303
I'll tell you why.
934
00:37:04,403 --> 00:37:05,671
But I'll tell you why.
935
00:37:05,738 --> 00:37:06,672
I'll tell you why.
936
00:37:06,739 --> 00:37:07,774
I'll tell you why.
937
00:37:07,874 --> 00:37:12,345
Because so on my side
as a human being, I go,
938
00:37:12,445 --> 00:37:13,946
the reason it was
shocking is because that's
939
00:37:14,046 --> 00:37:15,248
not who you are.
- Yeah.
940
00:37:15,348 --> 00:37:16,382
- Does that make sense?
- Exactly.
941
00:37:16,482 --> 00:37:18,317
Like I saw, for
instance, there
942
00:37:18,417 --> 00:37:19,685
was an article
that was written,
943
00:37:19,752 --> 00:37:20,953
I think it was a
Hollywood Reporter
944
00:37:21,053 --> 00:37:22,688
or whatever, they had a list
of like problematic actors
945
00:37:22,755 --> 00:37:24,056
or whatever.
946
00:37:24,157 --> 00:37:26,325
I was personally offended for
you and Leticia, funny enough,
947
00:37:26,425 --> 00:37:27,627
for different reasons.
948
00:37:27,660 --> 00:37:29,896
But they had guys in a list
where I was like, wait,
949
00:37:29,996 --> 00:37:31,531
some of these people
are here for sleeping
950
00:37:31,631 --> 00:37:32,732
with under-age kids.
951
00:37:32,832 --> 00:37:34,734
These people are here for
abusing their spouses.
952
00:37:34,834 --> 00:37:36,202
And again, what you
did was [bleep] up.
953
00:37:36,302 --> 00:37:37,203
I always tell you that.
954
00:37:37,303 --> 00:37:38,771
I love Chris, I'm
friends with him.
955
00:37:38,871 --> 00:37:41,507
I love you, I'm friends, but I
was like, this is [bleep] up.
956
00:37:41,641 --> 00:37:44,010
But I was like, but
it's not the same world.
957
00:37:44,110 --> 00:37:46,813
And that's why it was
weird, especially I find,
958
00:37:46,913 --> 00:37:48,881
because there were
all these dynamics.
959
00:37:48,981 --> 00:37:51,651
So I know that as Black people,
Black people will be together
960
00:37:51,751 --> 00:37:53,085
and be like, what
was Will doing,
961
00:37:53,186 --> 00:37:54,854
what the hell
happened here, right?
962
00:37:54,954 --> 00:37:57,123
But then I know a lot of
Black people were like,
963
00:37:57,223 --> 00:37:59,659
people came out and they were
like, he should go to jail.
964
00:37:59,759 --> 00:38:02,028
We were like, you need
to relax yourself.
965
00:38:02,128 --> 00:38:05,665
It was a weird, like some
people were overreacting,
966
00:38:05,731 --> 00:38:07,133
which made some
people under-react.
967
00:38:07,233 --> 00:38:08,134
Yeah, yeah.
968
00:38:08,234 --> 00:38:09,135
You know?
969
00:38:09,235 --> 00:38:14,507
No, it's the, I
understand how shocking
970
00:38:14,674 --> 00:38:15,808
that was for people, man.
971
00:38:15,908 --> 00:38:16,809
Right.
972
00:38:16,909 --> 00:38:18,811
On that stage.
973
00:38:18,911 --> 00:38:20,246
You seemed a little
dazed afterwards,
974
00:38:20,346 --> 00:38:21,380
I'm not going to lie.
975
00:38:21,481 --> 00:38:25,351
Yeah, I was gone, dude,
I was gone, I was gone.
976
00:38:25,451 --> 00:38:29,655
I was, that was a rage
that had been bottled
977
00:38:29,755 --> 00:38:31,057
for a really long time.
978
00:38:31,157 --> 00:38:33,126
Right.
979
00:38:33,226 --> 00:38:39,432
And, you know, but it's, I
understand the pain, you know.
980
00:38:39,532 --> 00:38:45,638
It was like my little
nephew, Dom is nine.
981
00:38:45,705 --> 00:38:49,542
And he is the
sweetest little boy.
982
00:38:49,642 --> 00:38:52,879
He's like, we
came home and it's
983
00:38:52,979 --> 00:38:56,883
like he had stayed up late to
see his Uncle Will, you know.
984
00:38:56,983 --> 00:39:00,353
And we're sitting in my
kitchen and he's on my lap
985
00:39:00,453 --> 00:39:03,289
and he's holding the Oscar.
986
00:39:03,389 --> 00:39:07,527
And he's just like, why did
you hit that man, Uncle Will,
987
00:39:07,660 --> 00:39:08,528
you know.
988
00:39:08,661 --> 00:39:10,763
Damn it!
989
00:39:10,863 --> 00:39:12,532
Why are you trying to Oprah me?
990
00:39:12,665 --> 00:39:14,000
No, I'm not.
991
00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:15,001
[laughs]
992
00:39:15,101 --> 00:39:19,372
[applause]
993
00:39:19,472 --> 00:39:21,874
Yeah, and he's carrying,
he's sitting on your lap.
994
00:39:21,974 --> 00:39:26,512
Yeah, you know, so
yeah, it was, I was like--
995
00:39:26,612 --> 00:39:28,781
[growls] it was
a mess, you know?
996
00:39:28,881 --> 00:39:30,783
I don't want to go too
far into it to give
997
00:39:30,883 --> 00:39:32,618
people more to misunderstand.
998
00:39:32,652 --> 00:39:34,120
Is it hard?
999
00:39:34,220 --> 00:39:36,355
You have lived, I
realized this morning
1000
00:39:36,456 --> 00:39:38,891
when I was thinking about
you coming on the show,
1001
00:39:38,991 --> 00:39:40,960
you are one of the
rare breed of human
1002
00:39:41,060 --> 00:39:43,663
who has lived more of
your life in the spotlight
1003
00:39:43,763 --> 00:39:44,664
than out of it.
1004
00:39:44,764 --> 00:39:45,665
Yeah.
1005
00:39:45,765 --> 00:39:47,133
You got into this
industry as a kid.
1006
00:39:47,233 --> 00:39:49,502
You grew up and blew up
into it as a young man.
1007
00:39:49,635 --> 00:39:50,636
Yeah.
1008
00:39:50,670 --> 00:39:52,705
You had your tax
issues, you had your life,
1009
00:39:52,805 --> 00:39:55,041
you had your family,
you had, but you
1010
00:39:55,141 --> 00:39:58,544
have lived in this world
for, so it's funny again.
1011
00:39:58,644 --> 00:40:00,313
I realized chatting to
friends and I was like,
1012
00:40:00,413 --> 00:40:02,381
you know what's
interesting here is,
1013
00:40:02,482 --> 00:40:04,317
for us, this is the Oscars.
1014
00:40:04,417 --> 00:40:05,351
Yeah, yeah.
1015
00:40:05,451 --> 00:40:07,186
For Will Smith, this
is like a cookout.
1016
00:40:07,286 --> 00:40:08,187
Right.
1017
00:40:08,287 --> 00:40:09,655
[laughs]
1018
00:40:09,689 --> 00:40:11,657
And I'm not
diminishing the Oscars,
1019
00:40:11,757 --> 00:40:13,659
but I'm like, those are your
people, that's your world.
1020
00:40:13,759 --> 00:40:15,294
This is like, you
know, and I was
1021
00:40:15,394 --> 00:40:17,130
like, I was saying
I think that is part
1022
00:40:17,230 --> 00:40:18,765
of the reason many
of us with that
1023
00:40:18,865 --> 00:40:20,900
show, because like
it's this lauded event,
1024
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,603
it's bigger than life,
whereas many movie stars are
1025
00:40:23,636 --> 00:40:25,071
at the Oscars like, oh,
nice to see you again,
1026
00:40:25,171 --> 00:40:26,739
hey, good to be here,
good to be back.
1027
00:40:26,839 --> 00:40:28,741
And I feel like that was
part of the disconnect.
1028
00:40:28,841 --> 00:40:29,842
I feel like that
was part of it.
1029
00:40:29,942 --> 00:40:34,013
But the one thing that's
killing me, you know,
1030
00:40:34,113 --> 00:40:39,118
so Emancipation is
Antoine's masterpiece.
1031
00:40:39,218 --> 00:40:40,386
That's what I want
to ask you about.
1032
00:40:40,486 --> 00:40:45,091
He has created an
absolute masterpiece.
1033
00:40:45,191 --> 00:40:49,695
Bob Richardson, the DP, and
Ben Foster and just all the way
1034
00:40:49,796 --> 00:40:53,266
down, it's like these
top artists in the world
1035
00:40:53,366 --> 00:40:56,235
have done some of the
best work of their career.
1036
00:40:56,335 --> 00:40:57,503
Yeah.
1037
00:40:57,637 --> 00:41:01,641
And the idea that they
might be denied because of me
1038
00:41:01,741 --> 00:41:04,644
is like, oh!
1039
00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:10,349
It's like, that is
killing me dead, you know.
1040
00:41:10,450 --> 00:41:16,656
And it's like the thing that
is so critical for me is
1041
00:41:16,689 --> 00:41:20,827
that these people came and they
trusted me and they were down
1042
00:41:20,927 --> 00:41:27,900
for me, and you know, I just,
I hope that their work will be
1043
00:41:30,103 --> 00:41:31,804
honored and their
work will not be
1044
00:41:31,904 --> 00:41:36,676
tainted based on a horrific
decision on my part.
1045
00:41:36,776 --> 00:41:43,416
I honestly hope, and I don't
think that that'll happen.
1046
00:41:44,717 --> 00:41:46,119
I have conversations with
people all the time about--
1047
00:41:46,219 --> 00:41:47,120
Really?
1048
00:41:47,220 --> 00:41:48,454
--Restorative justice.
1049
00:41:48,554 --> 00:41:51,691
You have conversations
with people?
1050
00:41:51,791 --> 00:41:54,794
About restorative justice,
about like atonement,
1051
00:41:54,894 --> 00:41:56,095
about, we have all
these conversations.
1052
00:41:56,195 --> 00:41:57,830
We have them at the
highest levels often.
1053
00:41:57,930 --> 00:42:00,967
And what I realize is, we often
don't have these conversations
1054
00:42:01,067 --> 00:42:01,968
as they pertain to daily life.
1055
00:42:02,068 --> 00:42:03,169
Yeah.
1056
00:42:03,269 --> 00:42:04,804
You know, what somebody
says, what somebody does.
1057
00:42:04,904 --> 00:42:06,706
And especially in isolation.
1058
00:42:06,806 --> 00:42:08,341
That's why I say
the sum of a person
1059
00:42:08,441 --> 00:42:11,644
is oftentimes how I define
them as opposed to a moment.
1060
00:42:11,744 --> 00:42:15,782
And on a personal level, I
think I speak for many people.
1061
00:42:15,882 --> 00:42:17,950
If I don't, forgive
me, but obviously
1062
00:42:18,050 --> 00:42:20,620
people were hurt,
because we love
1063
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:22,588
you and we love what you do.
1064
00:42:22,688 --> 00:42:24,957
People were shocked,
because it's Will Smith,
1065
00:42:25,057 --> 00:42:25,958
it's Chris Rock, you know.
1066
00:42:26,058 --> 00:42:28,694
So Oscars, all these things.
1067
00:42:28,795 --> 00:42:31,864
But I also think I speak for
people when I say like, I
1068
00:42:31,964 --> 00:42:33,199
don't want that to define you.
1069
00:42:33,299 --> 00:42:34,867
I don't think it should define
you, you know what I mean?
1070
00:42:34,967 --> 00:42:36,502
Yeah.
Thank you, thank you.
1071
00:42:36,669 --> 00:42:37,503
I don't think--
1072
00:42:37,670 --> 00:42:39,505
Yeah, yeah.
1073
00:42:39,672 --> 00:42:42,842
I don't think any one
of us, I don't think
1074
00:42:42,942 --> 00:42:44,877
any one of us in
life deserves to be
1075
00:42:44,977 --> 00:42:46,712
defined by our [bleep] up.
1076
00:42:46,813 --> 00:42:48,347
Like the [bleep] up.
1077
00:42:48,448 --> 00:42:51,350
If anything, I mean, like you
and Chris have the biggest
1078
00:42:51,451 --> 00:42:53,119
story to handle on your own.
1079
00:42:53,219 --> 00:42:54,821
It's not our foray.
1080
00:42:54,921 --> 00:42:58,124
But yeah, man, I hope you
don't stay hidden forever.
1081
00:42:58,224 --> 00:42:59,125
No, no, not at all.
1082
00:42:59,225 --> 00:43:00,927
I hope you know
that you don't
1083
00:43:01,027 --> 00:43:02,161
always have to bottle it up.
1084
00:43:02,261 --> 00:43:05,531
I hope you know that
you not being perfect is
1085
00:43:05,698 --> 00:43:07,166
what'll make you perfect.
You're Will Smith, man.
1086
00:43:07,266 --> 00:43:08,167
Yeah.
1087
00:43:08,267 --> 00:43:09,302
Do you know what I mean?
1088
00:43:09,402 --> 00:43:10,470
You're that dude.
1089
00:43:10,570 --> 00:43:12,438
We love you, for real.
1090
00:43:12,538 --> 00:43:13,439
I think--
1091
00:43:13,539 --> 00:43:16,576
You're that dude, you know?
1092
00:43:16,709 --> 00:43:19,178
I think that was one
of the big things for me
1093
00:43:19,278 --> 00:43:22,381
over this last couple
of months, you know.
1094
00:43:22,482 --> 00:43:28,187
That I had to forgive myself
for being human, you know.
1095
00:43:28,287 --> 00:43:30,957
And it's like,
trust me, there's
1096
00:43:31,057 --> 00:43:33,659
nobody that hates the fact
that I'm human more than me.
1097
00:43:33,726 --> 00:43:34,927
Yeah, I know that.
1098
00:43:35,027 --> 00:43:35,895
But I know that.
1099
00:43:35,995 --> 00:43:37,697
You know?
1100
00:43:37,797 --> 00:43:44,670
And just finding that space
for myself within myself
1101
00:43:44,737 --> 00:43:45,938
to be human, you know.
1102
00:43:46,038 --> 00:43:47,206
Right.
1103
00:43:47,306 --> 00:43:50,209
It's like, I want, I've
always wanted to be Superman.
1104
00:43:50,309 --> 00:43:54,847
I've always wanted to swoop
in and save the damsel
1105
00:43:54,947 --> 00:43:57,517
in distress, you know.
1106
00:43:57,683 --> 00:44:04,157
And I had to humble down, you
know, and realize that I'm
1107
00:44:05,324 --> 00:44:10,696
a flawed human and I
still have an opportunity
1108
00:44:10,797 --> 00:44:14,267
to go out in the
world and contribute
1109
00:44:14,367 --> 00:44:16,803
in a way that fills my
heart, and hopefully
1110
00:44:16,903 --> 00:44:18,304
helps other people.
1111
00:44:18,404 --> 00:44:21,874
[applause]
1112
00:44:21,974 --> 00:44:23,176
I appreciate it.
1113
00:44:23,276 --> 00:44:24,177
Appreciate you, man.
1114
00:44:24,277 --> 00:44:26,212
Thank you, man.
1115
00:44:26,312 --> 00:44:27,914
[inaudible]
1116
00:44:28,014 --> 00:44:28,915
Good to talk to you.
1117
00:44:29,015 --> 00:44:29,982
Thank you, thank you.
1118
00:44:30,082 --> 00:44:32,351
We'll take a break,
we'll be right back.
1119
00:44:32,452 --> 00:44:33,352
No, man, for real.
1120
00:44:33,453 --> 00:44:37,089
[cheering]
1121
00:44:43,395 --> 00:44:46,965
[cheering]
1122
00:44:47,065 --> 00:44:48,200
Well, that's our
show for tonight.
1123
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:50,436
But before we go,
before we go, I
1124
00:44:50,536 --> 00:44:53,705
just want to remind you
tomorrow is Giving Tuesday.
1125
00:44:53,806 --> 00:44:57,209
So please consider donating
to One Simple Wish, a charity
1126
00:44:57,309 --> 00:45:00,145
that grants wishes to kids and
young adults in foster care.
1127
00:45:00,245 --> 00:45:02,047
If you wanna help
grant a wish or donate
1128
00:45:02,147 --> 00:45:03,415
towards their
holiday wish fund,
1129
00:45:03,515 --> 00:45:05,117
then please do so

1130
00:45:05,217 --> 00:45:06,919
Until next time,
stay safe out there.
1131
00:45:07,019 --> 00:45:09,788
And remember, it's not
called monkeypox anymore.
1132
00:45:09,888 --> 00:45:10,789
[laughter]
1133
00:45:10,889 --> 00:45:12,591
Now we just say the M word.
1134
00:45:12,691 --> 00:45:13,926
Now, here it is,
your moment of zen.
1135
00:45:14,026 --> 00:45:14,927
[cheering]
1136
00:45:15,027 --> 00:45:16,962
OK, from football to fútbol.
1137
00:45:17,062 --> 00:45:19,832
We've got football
and fútbol going on.
1138
00:45:19,932 --> 00:45:21,366
Football to fútbol.
1139
00:45:21,467 --> 00:45:22,801
Fútbol and football.
1140
00:45:22,901 --> 00:45:23,802
This isn't football.
1141
00:45:23,902 --> 00:45:25,337
This is fútbol.
1142
00:45:25,437 --> 00:45:27,072
Football to fútbol.
1143
00:45:27,172 --> 00:45:28,173
See what I did there?
1144
00:45:28,273 --> 00:45:30,843
[music playing]
