Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. No, yeah, but you know what, okay, here's what's strange to me is like,
Starting point is 00:00:38 when did we get to the point where, so, like, when do we get to the point when they tell us about movies like two years ahead of time? Am I the only person who thinks this is like weird and crazy? Because Marvel came out today and they were like, hey, Black Panthers delayed from like July 2022 to November and then like, and then Ant-Man's coming out in like 2023. So we hope you, but I'm like, I couldn't buy. Why you, when did this become a thing? Because now I found myself being stressed about a thing that I never used to get stressed about. And I was like, Black Panther is moving. And I was like, I never used to think about. It's weird that they've just gotten to the point
Starting point is 00:01:12 where they think we are, like, we're planning our, the day, the day Black Panther thrown thiiiiiii's thi's thi....... thi. thi. I's thi. I's th. I's th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thease. thease. thi. thi. thease. thease. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the is like, I was like, I was like, I was was like, I was was was was was was like, I was. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. thea. thea. theea. theea. theea. thea. thea. thea. theea. thea. thea. thea. maybe it's for that person. Maybe there's one person who's like, oh, I was gonna get married, and then that's the day Black Panther comes out. You know, Michael, when are we getting married? Well, it depends on what happens in Wakanda, Jee. I mean, that's really what determines everything. I feel like our relationship is not as important as it should be. It's not more not more not more not more not more not more not more not more not more not more not more not more not more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than than the strength of the Blik Panther. What world are we living in?
Starting point is 00:01:45 Coming to you from the heart of Times Square, the most important place on earth. It's the Daily Show, ears edition. Tonight, hot Beltway Goss. Jordan Clepper is rallying. And E. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on everybody?
Starting point is 00:02:09 Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah and joining me for today's headlines is my good man, Roywood Jr. What's happening in African? How you been, bro? Yeah, man. It's been crazy how everyone has just been jumping into the show. And so I figured out, start inviting people because otherwise I get surprised and then you know what I mean it doesn't work out the way I would hope like I figured I'll just tell people to come and then we'll have fun together. I mean okay I mean that's not really why I was here I just saw this table I figured this would be a good place to set up this chicken sandwich are you gonna eat with a knife and fork?
Starting point is 00:02:46 Because there's cameras. You can't eat Popeyes the way out. All right, anyway, let's do the headlines. Let's just, don't chew loudly. All right, all right. That's all, don't chew loudly. All right, let's begin with a crazy story out of Texas. The junk in America's trunk. Texas is one of the many states where schools have been cracking down on critical race theory,
Starting point is 00:03:08 which I actually agree on, right? If black people want to learn about racism in Texas, they're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way by trying to vote. Now just so you understand, Texas lawmakers were against the idea of teachers telling students that America's institutions are founded on white supremacy and instead they're saying that if a class covers certain controversial topics it must present all sides without saying who's right or wrong. And last week one school official went beyond what the law even requires telling teachers that being fed to everyone really to thean make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust that you have one that being fed to everyone really does mean everyone. Make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has a closing,
Starting point is 00:03:51 that has other groups. How do you oppose the Holocaust? What? Believe me, that's come up. I'm sorry, what? You can't teach the opposing view of the Holocaust. That's Facebook's job. Stay in your lane, teachers. And look, telling teachers to present opposing perspectives regardless of merit isn't just bad from an education point of view. I mean it's making teachers do twice as much work, which is unfair. Like you know what I think if
Starting point is 00:04:16 you're gonna teach totally opposing views, then the classroom should at the evil version of that teacher, you know, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, is is is is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, is not thi, is not the evil version of that teacher, you know, like you have a Mario and then you have a Wario. Kids, Lincoln was the great emancipator. Nah, that bitch got what he deserved. And I'll be honest though, I don't have a problem with teaching opposing theories for everything. I just wish that they had this policy when I was in school. Yeah, you say I have homework, Mr. You say I have homework, Mr. Davenport, but I say that's some bullshit. Who's to say who's right? Look, man, here's a bigger question.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Why is, why do we have to keep Texas as a state? Why does every state have to be, like, remain a state? We should be able to re-vote on Texas the same way you're trying to vote, just trade-out Texas, you don't even have to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to to to to to to to to to to to to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote the the to vote the theirfoomexxxxxxxxinuexinuexinuexxinuexxxxxxote on Texas the same way you're trying to vote just trade out Texas give us Puerto Rico you don't even have to change the flag you actually want to vote out Texas Roy? What would we miss if we lost Texas state what we miss? We miss Texas toast. Okay. Dallas Cowboys. Uh-huh. And then that way Texas will have their own queen. They might go with that. But I think you might start a the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho. their their their their. their. their. to vote. their. to vote. their. their. to vote. their. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. to vote. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to I think you might start a wall. You know when I really could have used some of this other side stuff? The Spelling Bee.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Because if we're going to talk about who lost, who should have won, it was me. Spellingby, Central Park Elementary, fourth grade, misspelled, coleslaw. I never heard of that shit. So how did you spell it? COLD-S-L-A-U, Cold Slaw. True story. Why y'all laughing? That's actually not bad spelling, to be honest with you. If you ain't never heard of a Coleslaw, so yes, we should rewrite history.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I won the Spellambee. You know what they gave a white boy? Mountain. I heard of a mountain. You never heard a coastline. Go good with this sandwich, so. I feel you there, man. All right, let's move on to a story out of China.
Starting point is 00:06:12 The country hogging most of Asia. It was just discovered that China tested what's called a hypersonic missile that flew around the world, get this in space before landing back on Earth. Yeah, around the world in less than a day, by the way, which means China has invented Santa Claus technology in real life. And experts were shocked about this, because one US intelligence officials said, quote, we have no idea how they did this,
Starting point is 00:06:38 which is not something you want to hear from intelligence officials. I mean, at the very least, they should have just pretended that they weren't caught unawares. Yeah yeah we totally know how this happened but why don't you tell us first? Well how do you think it happened? Why don't you tell us please? But yeah this is definitely another step in the global militarization of space and personally I don't know why America does not start some sort of space military. What's that? It did? Oh oh. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, th, th, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, the the thi. We thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. We thi. Yeah sort of space military. What's that? It did. Oh, and I said it was going to be as effective as Mike Pence has an orgy. Oh, that doesn't sound like me.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Now, the good news is that the missile test wasn't perfect. It actually missed its target by two dozen miles, which is not great for a missile. I mean, speed is important, but so is accuracy. Usain Bolt wouldn't have won many medals if every time the race started, he just sprinted into the stands. But this has people concerned, especially about China's growing military capabilities. And the truth is if you ask China about it,
Starting point is 00:07:41 they don't seem to want us to worry at all. China's foreign minister says the launch back in August involved a spacecraft, not a missile, and says it's nothing more than a routine test to see if that spacecraft could be reused. Just a spacecraft? I don't know, guys. The last time China said it was just allergies. And by the way, even if it is just a spacecraft, what different, guys, the last time China said it was just allergies, and look at what happened. And by the way, even if it is just a spacecraft, what difference is that going to make?
Starting point is 00:08:11 Because if a spacecraft cratches into my house, I'm not going to be like, well at least it wasn't a missile. I mean, I'm still dead, but I feel better. I feel way better. Who is responsible for checking up on China? Like we need like, like Earth, we need like a better homeowners association. Because at this point, China's basically that neighbor that's always just shooting fireworks into the air and all that stuff. They're killing the game. Yeah, you can't behave like that though. Somebody got to say, hey, I don't know if y'all notice, but China is shooting missiles again.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Can someone say something to China, please. The other other th issue th issue th issue th issue th issue th issue thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu. thu. thu. thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus th. th. thus. thus. thus. thus. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to thi. to to tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. toe. to. to to to to to to thi. thi. say something to China, please? The other issue with this missile shit, you just can't be shoot, why are you shooting missiles in the space? What if it don't come back? And then the aliens think we're busting at them. And you think when the aliens come back, they're going to go, which one of you countries shot at us? No, everybody did it. neighbor shot a bullet somewhere. What do I shoot a bullet? You touch a missile? Shoot a missile into the ocean. That's where you shoot a missile.
Starting point is 00:09:06 We know it's in the ocean. Godzilla, Malthre and them two sharks that L.L.Coujay was fighting. So you know. So you know. All right, our final story is from New Zealand. Aka, a wa call with Britain's flag. But what I love is how quirky New Zealand can be.
Starting point is 00:09:29 For instance, for more than 20 years now, the city of Christchurch has had an official wizard. It's completely true. And this guy actually has been paid around $11,000 US a year to be the official wizard of Christ Church. Which is a weird salary when you think about it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is th thi, is th th thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, year to be the official wizard of Christchurch. Which is a weird salary when you think about it, right? I mean 11,000 dollars is way too high for a guy who's not really a wizard, but it's also way too low for a real wizard. I mean if a guy can turn me into a frog, he can name his price. But now, Christchurch is saying, the wizard no longer fits the city's modern image and they are going th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thoom thi, thi, thi thoom-a' thoom-a thoom-a thoom-a thi. thi. thi, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi th wizard no longer fits the city's modern image and they are going to let him go.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And this wizard is definitely not happy about this right now because he's had this job for so long and as he's made clear a little while ago, he definitely deserves it. I'm the only wizard in the world that has any reason to be called a wizard. And that I'm trained at university appointed by by a vice chancelor, and since 1990, appointed by the government of New Zealand as an official wizard. So I'm a real wizard and not some idiot wearing a hat who's a hippie and take to be drugs. I mean, I get that he doesn thing would be less weird if this guy was on drugs.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I mean, I get that he doesn't want to be associated with people who drop too much acid, but at least they have an excuse. You know, and also I feel bad for the other wizard who's standing behind him the whole time. He's like, I'm not some burnt-out loser, like Doug here. thuze,? You know a wizard? That bitch ain't a wizard! What do you mean's not a wizard? His first spell would be a pay raise. I fucking make $11,000. $11,000.
Starting point is 00:11:13 How are you a wizard on food stamps? How you a wizard on food stamps? Broke-ass wizard. You didn't went to wizard school, and now you got all them student loans. That's why Harry Potter had to make eight movies. All them student loans. He couldn't pay him. Ain't no money in the wizard world. Wizard game, cold blooded, broo.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Is Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter? Is that the same universe? No, Roy, it, man. Would you mind not having any camera on there? Would you mind not? Yeah, you can, we'll, we'll, we'll take. No, just. No, nothing. I'll just do this and then you can.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I won't even look at you when you invite it. I won't even look at you. I won't even look at you. One's our top story, it's about Congress, the sites of America's most powerful jowls. The Democrats are still trying to pass two major bills, right? One for infrastructure and one that tackles everything from climate change to health care, to child care, to college, which means there's a lot of stress and a lot of bickering, and most importantly, a lot of drama. In other words, it's the perfect story to cover in another installment of Keeping Up with the Congressions.
Starting point is 00:12:35 All right what's going on squad? It's me your bestie talking back gossip here with all the latest dish from the hottest city in the world. Washington, D.C. And right now, the D.C. stands for Democratic cluster fuck. Ooh, did I curse, spank me, Daddy? It has been weeks since our last episode, and the Democrats still haven't passed their bills. Can you believe it?
Starting point is 00:13:00 President Biden just keeps having secret meetings with the Democrats, and they won't spill the tea on what they're talking about. The same way, how Jerry told me to never tell anybody about how he cried during dear Evan Hanson. Your secret is safe with me, Jerry. I've got your back. Anyway, time is running out to pass those bills. And that means everyone is getting stressed AF.

Starting point is 00:13:25 President Biden on the road today trying to ratchet up pressure on members of his own party to bridge deep divides and passes ambitious proposal to overall the country's social safety net. Top advisors have made clear they've grown increasingly impatient with the pace of the talks. And Democrats on the Hill are starting to say we need Joe Biden to step in. But President Biden is confident they'll get it across the finish the to to to to to to to the to to to to the to the to the tod tod tod tod tod tod. tod. today today. today today today today today today today today today today today today today today today today today today today today today tod. tod. tod. tod. tod. tod. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. tod. tod. tod today today today today today today today today. today. today. today. today. today today today today today today today today today todays. And Democrats on the Hill are starting to say, we need Joe Biden to step in. But President Biden is confident they'll get it across the finish line. I told you before what my neurosurgeon years ago said
Starting point is 00:13:53 when I had that an aneurysm. He said, your problem centers, you're a congenital optimist. But I'm convinced we're going to get this done. I'm convinced we're going to get it done. Joe Biden, your brain is broken and I love it. But yes, right now the Democrats are moving slower than my god-dem postmate's order! Where is it? And I understand the frustration I do. It's just a bill. It shouldn't take half the lifespan of a pug.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Shhh! Daddy's doing a bill. It shouldn't take half the lifespan of a pug. Shhh! Daddy's doing a segment, Benifar. And you have to remember, we're talking about the Democrats here. They need the time to make sure the bill their writing will disappoint everybody. If you need to be disappointed quickly, get a lame cuisine, loser. And the real reason this is taking so long, as always, is Joe Manchin. He's taken a big old axe to the build-back better bill. And this week, he's going after the one thing that could keep the icebergs alive.
Starting point is 00:14:54 The New York Times reporting tonight that the most powerful part of Biden's climate agenda, the $150 billion clean electricity program is now effectively dead. Conservative Democratic Senator Joe Manchin announced his opposition to a central program in President Biden's clean energy agenda that would replace coal and gas-fired power plants with wind, solar, and nuclear energy. West Virginia, Senator Manchon's home state, is of course a leader in coal and natural gas production. The senator also owned stock valued at more than $1 million in a coal brokerage firm he founded
Starting point is 00:15:27 and made nearly half a million in dividends just last year, according to the New York Times. Joe mentioned, you're a dirty dog, and I'm here for it. You get your money, Joe. I mean, if you ask me, this was a no-brainer. How can we expect this man to fix climate change if it costs him thiiiiiii. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. I, to. I, to. And, th. And, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. tho, the tho, tho, tho, thr. thr. the the toooo. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. tooe. too. to we expect this man to fix climate change if it costs him money? Would you ask Zoom to help end the COVID pandemic? No, they're probably the ones that started it. I'm on to you, bitch. And Manchin isn't just gutting the climate change. He also wants to limit the child tax credit to families earning 60,000 dollars or less.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And I'm sorry, but 60 grand does not make you rich. You know what does make you rich? A love. That's why people in love should not get the tax credit. Sorry, Courtney and Travis. Congrets to you too, but no child tax credit for you. Anyway, the Democrats hate your mentions cut, but they need his vote. So the bill keeps getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Just like what's happening with your testicles, Jerry. Did the doctors ever find out why? Well, it doesn't matter. Your secret is safe with me, Jerry. You keep me posted, yeah. Anyway, nobody is more pissed off about Manchans' demands than Bernie Sanders. Yeah, if Bernie had his way, this bill would be 30 bazillion dollars and going to the doctor would be completely free. What a wild idea! You're crazy, Bernie, I can't get enough of you. And Bernie is sick of John Mention, yucking his yum. And so their beef has broken out into the open, and we're all getting alooke.
Starting point is 00:17:01 The leaders of the party's liberal and moderate wings spent much of the weekend at each other's throats. First, this op-ed from Bernie Sanders and West Virginia's biggest newspaper. This poll after poll shows overwhelming support for this legislation. Two Democratic senators remain in opposition, including Senator Joe Manchin. Manchin shot back. This isn't the first time an out-of-stater has tried to tell West Virginians what is best for them despite having no relationship to our state. Ooh, Bernie and Joe are at each other's throats. The claws are out. Row, their! But I do get why Joe is upset about this. Coming into his neighborhood and writing an op-ed in his hometown newspaper. You don't see Joe
Starting point is 00:17:45 going to Vermont on slapping the Ben and Jerry's out of Bernie's mouth. Although it is pretty rich of Joe Houseboat to complain about Bernie's op-ed when Joe has been writing op-eds in every newspaper in America. I even saw a Mansion op-ed in the last fortune cookie I opened. Now maybe there'd be more pressure on Joe Mansion to support this bill if the public was begging for it but right now this bill is like a chicken nugget nobody even knows what's inside and you know who Bernie blames for that? It's a big bad media. Senator Bernie Sanders put out a statement this weekend blaming the media as the main reason for why Americans don't know
Starting point is 00:18:23 what's in the billed back better plan. He wrote quote at the top of the media as the main reason for why Americans don't know what's in the Build Back Better Plan. He wrote, quote, at the top of the list is the reality that the mainstream media has done an exceptionally poor job in covering what actually is in the legislation. There have been endless stories about the politics of passing Build Back Better, the role of the president. The conflicts in the House and Senate, the opposition of two senators, the size of the bill, and very limited coverage as to what the provisions of the bill are and the crises for working people that they address. You know one thing you're not talking about, if you're talking about the media?
Starting point is 00:18:55 What's in the bill? Correct. Ooh, Bernie is mad at the media and I am part of the problem. Look, maybe some of the media is a little bit catchy. Guilty, but come on Bernard. It's not all the media's fault that nobody knows what's in this bill. I mean, half the time the Democrats talk about it, they call it the reconciliation bill. That name is so boring. I fell asleep halfway through the first word, and I'm on cocaine.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I swear the Democrats are the worst at branding. If they invented Hershey's kisses, they would have called them little poop drops. I'm not eating those. So, that's where everything stands now. Everyone is trying to figure out how to salvage this thing before it's too late. And they better hurry, because if they don't pass anything, they're going to lose a lot of votes next year. Of course, Jerry couldn't vote in the first place because he's undocumented.
Starting point is 00:19:52 He's been using a dead man's social security number this whole time. Oh, what a crazy story. But don't worry, Jerry. We won't tell anyone. We love you, Cherry. All right. I've got to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go their little boys room and make a tinkle, but when the daily show comes back, Jordan Clapper is going to fingers a pulse at a Trump rally. Ooh, we'll be right back. Oh, so much fun. Oh, look, they're deporting Jerry. They're deporting him. That's classic Jerry. You're so classic Jerry. He's so wild. He's so crazy. Oh, I miss him already. We should get another Jerry. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:20:25 This time Paula, maybe. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like, none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a second look on Apple podcasts
Starting point is 00:20:56 starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Show. The next presidential election is barely over 1,100 days away and that means Donald Trump is back on the road doing rallies. And that means Jordan Klepper is back on the road attending those rallies for another episode of Jordan Klepper fingers the pulse. I'm back in my first Trump rally since January 6, 2021. A day, no one will ever forget. Unless you're a Republican member of Congress.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Yes, Trump is gathering people once again. So I headed to my favorite Iowa State Capitol, where the crowd was ready to proclaim Trump won and Trump won and trump won and rides a tank and even though Trump won, they're hoping he runs again. Hey, we're a place to announce the candidacy than here in the Hawkeye state. Are we ready for this? I mean the last guy hasn't even conceded yet. Well I mean, I have some choice words for, especially our vice president, but I'm trying to be civil today, so.
Starting point is 00:22:06 My last Trump rally was January 6th. Have you seen any gallows go up anywhere? Nope. Do you think Mike Pence will show up here today or does he not want to hang? I think he would be afraid to show up here today. Why is that? Because he was a coward. he he he he he he he he he he he he th. He th. He th. He th. He tho. He was a thi. He was a thi. He was a thi. He was a thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. the. the. t right thing, that's why. Or because these people tried to kill him. Well I don't think they would. I don't think they would try to kill them. The Maga Faithful expressed their support for the former president in all the totally normal ways with Confederate flags in Iowa and images of Trump on a velociraptor with a machine
Starting point is 00:22:38 their machine gun. You know people say oh Trump or that's a cult, blah, blah, but I feel like cult is such a negative word. We are not a cult. We are a group of Americans that love our country and want it fast. Are there any old hits or things you hope he goes back to? Um, oh gosh, I feel like whatever he spews out of his mouth, I just love it. Um, I just love... It doesn't matter what he says. Yeah, I just love it. It doesn't love. It doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th, it. It doesn't th, it. It doesn't that that thi. It doesn't the thi. It doesn't thi. It doesn't thi. It doesn't thi. It's thi. It's thi. It doesn't thi. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't th. It doesn't the. It's the the the the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeat the theeeeee theee the the the the th here. We're gonna love hearing what he has to say. But this isn't a cult. No, I don't think so. Not a cult at all. It's not like they would rather almost piss themselves than miss a second of the Donald's speech. But if they're already looking to Trump's yet to be announced 2024 campaign, what are the big issues?
Starting point is 00:23:19 I really hope he gets to the the the the the the the the the the tapapapapapapapapapapap get the the the the the tape tape tic of the border crisis. That's one of the bigger things right now because that's completely being rushed under the rug. And you're from Iowa? I'm from Iowa. Yeah. So you worry about people coming from Minnesota? Um, Trump's potential campaign would also be about healing the broken nation, caused by the current Biden administration. I mean, obviously this administration is doing all it can to pit each other against each other.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Every way, shape and form, they've been trying to divide it. It's like this administration is giving the middle finger to half the country. Yes. Every the whole country, if you ask me, the whole damn country. That's just wrong. It's absolutely wrong. We shouldn't be. We should be working together. It doesn't matter what your opinions are, we can still be civil to each other and still be this great country that we are supposed to be or we were at one point in time. Yeah, doing this is childish. Yes. I've had people stop talking to me for my views.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Should show respect. Yes. What's what's going on to your shirts? I think they speak for themselves them them their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I's. I's. I's. I's. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. I. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. think they speak for themselves, do they not? Why doesn't someone want to engage with that? Am I right? Exactly. This is sort of like the Trump welcome sign, right? Maybe the most surprising moment of the rally was when I ran into an old friend I thought I'd never see again. Q's back! There's Q's Q's shit everywhere! Yes, the online conspiracy following a mysterious character known as Q was more popular than ever. Is that a Q? Yeah. Are you a Q supporter? Certainly.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Wasn't Q's whole thing that Trump would be reinstated as president? He's never left. There's no doubt in my mind, 150,000 percent. That he's still president of the United States? Really? Does he still hold the powers of the presidency? Well he's been flying around the world on Air Force? It, it, it, it, it, th..... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, is, is, thi, th presidency? Well, he's been flying around the world on Air Force One. It says something. I thought Joe Biden's technically on Air Force One. No.
Starting point is 00:25:11 So they're faking it? Yeah, it's not even a presidency. Who is running the government right now? President Trump. He's running the government. And he's running the military. So we should blame him for what happened in Afghanistan? No. But it's still his fault. It's way beyond my understanding.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I don't, I don't, I'm that. Thank you for talking to me, George. Enjoy seeing President, current President Trump. Thank you. So Q is telling them that Trump is still the president. And also where to park their cars. A lot of characters here today. We have a woman directing traffic wearing a Q&N shirt.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I assume she's also inspecting cards for lizard people and make-believe pedophile rings. And thanks to online bullshit, they have a very interesting take on who was behind the January 6th insurrection. Oh, Antifa, like the corrupt FBI, basically rhinos, corrupt politicians, the deep state, all of that. I don't believe it was people like me and people like you see over there in that crowd that did it. Who was behind?
Starting point is 00:26:18 FIICIA, Antifa were used, other groups like that. It seemed like a lot of them were going into the Capitol to attack Nancy Pelosi and perhaps hang. Who? Who? Who? Who's the one? Who's the bullhorns?
Starting point is 00:26:33 He's not a Trump supporter. I don't care what his resume says. He's not a Trump supporter. In fact, do you remember the picture of the people running next to it. That was a balloon plane. If you look at the pictures of the real plane, there's pieces that are missing from the real plane to that plane. So you're saying there's a conspiracy around the Afghanistan withdrawal? No, I'm saying that there was one guy there who ran. It's the only guy who turned to the guy with the horns on his hat.
Starting point is 00:27:05 He was in Afghanistan. Yes, go look at the pictures. I think he's in jail right now. No, that's what they tell. Who's going to? We're going to find pictures of like the horn guy in like the background of old civil war photos or in paintings? I'm just telling you the picture looks just like. Can America's centuries old democracy survive the 2024 campaign? Maybe this guy knows. Thank you so much for that Jordan. All
Starting point is 00:27:30 right when we come back the one and only Eve will be joining me right here in the studio so don't go away. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968 there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in thresresresres the the the the th treasures th th th th th treasures th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the this this this this the the.

Like, none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I'm Seth Done of CBS News. to 60 minutes, a second look, starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is Grammy-award-winning songwriter and artist Eve. She's here to talk about her groundbreaking career and starring in the new ABC drama, Queens. Eve, hi. Welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Thank you for having me. I'm excited to be here. I'm excited to have you here because I should start with a congratulations that was almost prophetic from that clip and that is I'm a mom. I'm a mom. Congratulations. Thank you so much. I think it's like a major congratulations not just because of I mean you being happy about it but you've shared so much of your story of how hard it was for you to conceive and how long it to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to the the to to to to to to to to.

And I am beyond happy. I don't even, I need a new word for happy is, is nuts. That is really amazing. What is, what is the best thing? Or rather what is the most, what is, thi. the most, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the day, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, thi, like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the. th most unpredictable thing? No one warned you about this, but all of a sudden you're feeling it in your body and your mind, whatever it may be. I mean, people don't talk about a lot, I have to say that.
Starting point is 00:29:09 They don't talk about a lot. And but I would say I will go back to the best thing is that, well, when I first started feeling flutters, but the pregnant ladies know you do get a little gassy in the beginning so I just thought it was gas but then it felt better and better and now they're strong and stronger and now I feel like we can talk to each like it's weird it's cool. Women are amazing. We really are amazing. Yeah no you really are. So it's cool. Well congratulations and congratulations on I guess your other baby which is Queens. Yes yes yes this Queens is ridiculous this Queens is a roller coaster. th. th. th. th. It th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the th. the th. th. th. the the th. the th. the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

It is a roller coaster of emotion, but it's amazing. The music is sick and everybody in it, Brandy Naturi, Nadine, they're incredible. You were like the first lady of the rough riders and it was this world
Starting point is 00:29:55 that you had created and now it feels like your story has come full circle because now you're playing ironically a less successful version of a character of yourself. What did this feel like for you? Was it nostalgic? Was there a moment, was there a part of you that was like, man, this is like an alternate world that sort of feels real? The first week and a half, I actually was freaking out because I'm like, how can I play Brianna when I feel like this is my life a little bit? Like I come from the 90s, I am a rapper, I am th, I am th, I am th, I am a th, I am a th, I am a th, I am a th, I am a th, I am a th, I am a th, I am a th, I'm a rapper, I am a rapper, I am a rapper, I am a rapper, I am a rapper, I am a th, I am a th, I am a thi, I am a thi, I am a, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a th, I'm a th, I'm a thin, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thr, thi, now, five, the fifth one on the way.
Starting point is 00:30:25 And this is weird, and I'm a rapper. It took me at least about the second week where I found her voice. Where I found the actual character's voice. But yeah, of course, there's definite parallels. Wow. And honestly, I would not have taken a role like this a few years ago at all. Because for me, acting was acting, and my music was my music. And I never felt like, I didn't want to mesh the two. But for some reason, this script,
Starting point is 00:30:50 Zahiramaghi, who is the writer, EP, and a creator, the script is so good, I couldn't turn away. You've been on this ride that step into the acting game and you've killed it every single time you know you seem like a natural at everything that you do and then you decided to change your life up a little you move to the UK yes living in London yeah right and then it was like oh Eve is back in this mix when you thrown. thi thi's thrown. throwne. T think it is about this show that's connecting with so many people? What do you think it is about it that's making people go like, you know what, yeah, this is, this is what I want
Starting point is 00:31:26 to watch, this is, this makes me feel good. Yeah, I think it's a few things. One, 90s hip-hop, one 90s hip-hop, 90s hip-hop, I'm sorry, I mean, hip-hop, hip-ho-hoop, hip-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi hip-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip hip-hi hip hip hip-hi hip hip-hi hip hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi hip-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hop, 2000s hip-hop, there was a movement at that time. There was a pureness, there was a uniqueness, I think there were so many crews, crews and so much, I don't know, the energy at that time was great and that for me with this show I was like, if we can capture that, people who know about that time will love this show, but also it's not just the music, it's the women. Like, our stories are so complex. There's a lot going on for all of us, within us individually, but then as women just coming back together and being,
Starting point is 00:32:14 and having a sisterhood, and also not fighting with each other. Not being like, I'm the only one. It's like, thi, thii. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi...... thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thin, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. sisterhood and yeah it just feels really nice. Let's talk a little bit about that 90s hip-hop versus today's hip-hop. I mean every every generation loves its hip-hop. I know and I try not to sound old saying it because you know I would be dying. Oh no I would be dying. No but but I think everybody just has the hip-hop that's like oh the theynip the the hip-I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the hip-I I the hip-I I the hip-I the hip-I the hip-I the hip-I the hip-I the hip-I th so th is like like like like like like like like like like like like th is like th is like th is the hip-I th is like th is like th is like th is like th is like th is like th is like th is just like the hip- I'm the hip- I'm the hip- I'm the hip- I'm the hip-I the hip-I is is the hip-I is the hip-I is the hip-I is the hip-I is the hip-I is the hip-hop is the hip-hop is the hip-hop is the hip-hop is the hip-hop the hip-hop the hip-hop th is th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. th. I'm th. I'm th. th. life. Yes, definitely. That's what it is. Definitely. So I wonder when you look at hip-hop today, for getting like better or worse or anything, what do you see that's different, there's got to be something that you look at now where you go like, man I envy that element of hip-hop? And then there's got to be one part where you're like, man I'm glad I'm not around fact that you don't need a label, you don't need a co-signer, you don't, you
Starting point is 00:33:05 can get out there and find your people the way you want to. I envy that. I love that. What I don't is there's a lot of clones. I feel like back in the day uniqueness was celebrated and I think now there's a lot of the sameness. And that to me, I'm just like, it makes it boring a lot of the time for me. Not everyone, because there are some dope artists out that I actually really do love. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:37 But, yeah. How did you stay you? You know, because in your day there was so much A&R. There were so many people saying this is what you should be. This is what, and it's like, and I remember when Eve came out, I had not seen any rapper like that. I mean, I'd love Lil Kim, you know, I'd loved Riddigga. I'd loved so many female hip-hop artists, and then you came in and it was completely different. I'd love to know how you did that. And I. And tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, and, and, and, and, and, th, and, th, th. And, th. And, tho, and tho, tho, and tho, tho, thi, and it was tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and I th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and I thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, tha, tha, tha, tha, thii. And, I thi. And, and I thi. I'd love to know how you did that. I'm sure there was external pressure. It definitely was but I got lucky. With rough riders they never tried to change me. The only thing they tried to do was cover me up more
Starting point is 00:34:10 actually. Like they didn't want me naked. They were like no you need to put this vest on. Are you serious? Please if I had on a tank top they like put on a ta the their their ta tha run a their their tha tha their their tha their tha their their tha tha their tha tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. try. they they they they try ro try. they they were liked. they were liked. they were liked. they were like they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. try r r re. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try try. try try. try try try. try. they and they saw that I wanted it so bad. I hustled with the guys. I wrote if we were in the studio 24 hours I was in the studio 24 hours and they just allowed me to be me. That being said there were execs when I would go into meetings that definitely like you know what you could do this or you should bring this down or maybe you should or who were you dating? You shouldn't be dating him. And so it wasn't from the rough rider side, it was more from the exact side. But thankfully I held on to it. Well, congratulations to you. Congratulations on the next step in your journey both on screen and in life. Thank you. And hopefully we'll see you back on the show. Yes.
