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 on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming
Starting point is 00:01:06 out. You guys sound amazing. Thank you. Thank you. Let's do it, people. Take a seat. Let's make a show. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is one of the hardest working actors around. You know him from Atlanta, Knives Out, and the new movie, The Photograph. Lekeet Stanfield is joining us, everybody. Also, on tonight's show, the Democratic Party is getting real. The Titanic is in trouble, and Jussie Smollett is making a sequel. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with Jussie Smollett, Empire Actor and Black Pinocchio.
Starting point is 00:01:47 A year ago, he told an incredible story about being jumped on the street by two Trump supporters, and now someone might finally go to jail for that attack. A dramatic new turn that's thrust the Jesse Smollett case back into the spotlight. That's right. He's once again facing charges in Chicago for claiming he was the victim of a hate crime attack. This morning, Smollett is facing six new charges of disorderly conduct for lying to police. The move, a stunning reversal after prosecutors dropped all 16 charges the actor originally faced.
Starting point is 00:02:22 In this new indictment, the special prosecutor's office says, Smollett made numerous false statements to Chicago police on multiple occasions reporting a heinous hate crime that he in fact knew had not occurred. Yes, Jassy Smollett is back in the headlines, this time for being indicted over reporting a fake hate crime. And it really sounds bad, until you remember that his plan all along was to get a recurring storyline that doesn't go away, so he kind of got what he wanted.
Starting point is 00:02:49 this is what he wanted. And look, I know what Jussie did was wrong, but I know what Jussie did was wrong, but I won't like, at the same timeys who made those bullshit calls to 911, they live their lives. They just do their thing. In fact, maybe that should be Jussie's punishment. He should be forced to get a white lady nickname. That should be it, yeah? Everywhere he goes, people be like, well, well, there goes Subway. But let's move on to Roger Stone, Trump campaign aid and the monopoly man's cocaine dealer. This week, he was about to be sentenced for lying to the FBI and threatening witnesses,
Starting point is 00:03:30 but luckily he's got friends in oval places. Late tonight, all four federal prosecutors on the Roger Stone case have quit after the department undercut their recommended sentence. Just yesterday, those career prosecutors recommended he get seven to nine years behind bars. But late tonight, the DOJ in a filing calling the initial recommendation excessive and unwarranted just hours after President Trump tweeted overnight, blasting the sentence prosecutors initially recommended as horrible and very unfair. The president denying he had anything to do with it. You seem from your tweet today that you were upset about the Roger Stone
Starting point is 00:04:08 sentencing? Did you... Did you ask the Justice Department to change that? I'd be able to do it if I wanted to have the absolute right to do it. I stay out of things to a degree that people wouldn't believe. That's right folks. That's right folks. I stay out of of the the thoe thoe thoe thoe thoe thoan thoan thoan thoan thoan thoan thoaned thoaned tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thoen. tho tho thi. tho. I tho. I tho. I tho. I tho. I tho. I tho. tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. the is the. to. to. to. to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. tode. that's right. I stay out of things. I stay out of everything, intelligence briefings. Church, Melania's bedroom. I stay out of all of it. I stay out, stay out. This is actually crazy what happened here. The Justice Department recommended Roger Stone get seven to nine years in prison. All right. Trump then tweets that their recommendation is too harsh,
Starting point is 00:04:46 so they then cancel their recommendation. And then Trump says, he's totally staying out of it. That's not what he did. He's staying out of it the same way the Kool-Aid man stays out of a room. Did I use the door? Oh, no. Because here's the thing, Trump is acting like his Twitter account can't influence the Justice Department, like they can't see his tweets. You know, it's like someone saying, I didn't ask her to marry me.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I just had, will you marry me, written in the sky? Anybody could have said yes, it could have been anybody. And not only was it wrong for Trump this guy. All right, and finally, you guys remember how the Titanic crashed? Well, it happened again. A new report claims the wreck of the Titanic was hit by a submarine last year, but the U.S. government kept it a secret. That's according to legal documents reviewed by the British newspaper, the telegraph. It says a 35 million million underwater vehicle hit the Titanic wreckage in July.
Starting point is 00:05:47 It comes ahead of what could be a landmark court battle over the future of the wreckage. Yo, this is insane. The Titanic was involved in another crash? No, they're nationwide premiums are totally going through the roof, man. I'm glad that no one was hurt. Because how would you explain that to people? I'd just be like Brian died in the Titanic. Yeah this year, this year, yeah. Titanic versus submarine is such a weird story. I mean technically though the Titanic is also a submarine. Yeah really any ship can be a submarine if your captain is
Starting point is 00:06:21 shitty enough when you think about it. You know what would be crazy though? Is if getting hit makes the Titanic unsink? Like that could be a rule, right? If you crash, you go down. If you crash again, you get to come up. Yeah, so now it floats up to the top. And then they back up on the surface. Yeah, we're alive. Who didn't learn their lesson? All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Yesterday, the second Democratic primary, took place in New Hampshire, the home of the White Mountains and the state that looks like Canada's butt plug. And the results may have changed the race for president in major ways. So, let's take a look at the fallout in our ongoing segment, World War D. Coming out of the Iowa primary, the big winners were Bernie Sanders, Pete Boudeges, and anyone who didn't build that shitty app. And last night in New Hampshire, those top two kept their momentum going. With a win in New Hampshire, Senator Bernie Sanders taking control as the Democratic frontrunner.
Starting point is 00:07:34 But not too far behind him, Pete Budajjjjjjjj. Despite winning the popular vote in both Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders is behind in the over delegate race by two. One of the night's other big winners, Senator Amy Klobuchar, who took third place. She capitalized on the moment by reintroducing herself to the country. Hello, America. I'm Amy Klobuchar, and I will beat Donald Trump. Yes, last night may have been the best night for Bernie Sanders
Starting point is 00:08:06 since he won that free cruise on Noah's Ark, but New Hampshire's biggest surprise was Amy Clovershaw, who burst into the national spotlight with a third place finish, and the timing couldn't be better for Clobysh. Because in many ways, you see, the presidential campaigns are like getting drunk at a party, you want to peek at the right time. See, the other candidates, they had their surge last year, which was too early. It's like getting wasted at 6 p.m. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Because by the time the party is really going, you're puking in the bushes. I'm like, I'm so sorry I better in South Carolina. So there's no denying that New Hampshire was great for Amy Klobuchar's campaign. And it was also a great night for newspeople who love wordplay. Senator Amy Klobucharre wrote the Clomentum. Are you feeling Clomentum. Clomentum is real and she has it. A Clobethersurg. Clomentum. Clobe you charge. Tlo-Clobue-Memememememememem-Clomentem. Cloge. Clo-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-m is thum. thum. thum. thum. thum. thum. thum. thum. thum. thume-m is is thum. Clo-m is is is is thom-m is thom-m is thom-m is tham i i. Clo-m is tham is tham is tham is tham is tham is tham is tham is tham. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi-n-is. thi-ishs. thi-ishs. thi-ish. C. Cl-c-isha-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-ishauuu-isha'e'e'e'e. thaum. Clobentum. Clobu, you charge. Clobu, you furge.
Starting point is 00:09:05 They call it Clow Motion. Is there Clomentum? Oh, this is fun. I want to try. I want to try. It's Clobering time. Yeah, yeah. She gave them the old Clopidia. All right, I'm done, I'm done. I'm done, I'm done.
Starting point is 00:09:26 She killed it like Clo J. Simpson. Okay, I'm done, I'm done. I'm done, no more. No more. No more. No more. No more. So for Bernie, Budagege and Klobuchar, New Hampshire was a dream.
Starting point is 00:09:42 But unfortunately for some other big name candidates, it turned into a nightmare. Another major New Hampshire headline, the candidates who fell far behind, including longtime national frontrunner Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren. Both failed to get enough votes to earn any delegates. Before the race was called Biden who placed fifth, was on a plane to South Carolina, which will hold the nation's next primary. Biden saw the writing on the wall he had left even
Starting point is 00:10:10 before the polls had closed live streaming into his campaign's New Hampshire Watch Party. Oh Joe Biden left New Hampshire before the polls were even closed. I mean I've heard of fans leaving the game early but you know it's bad when the team leaves early to beat the traffic. The coach is just like all right guys screw the fourth quarter let's just start the bus. I also feel especially bad for Biden supporters I'll say that. Think about it you came all the way out to see your candidate and then instead all you get is a video. Imagine you were in like the dentist chair and your doctor the doctor the screen like, Aloha from Hawaii. Here are three simple steps to perform your own
Starting point is 00:10:48 root canal. So while Biden supporters wept frozen New Hampshire tears, the man himself was already in South Carolina looking toward the future. Joe Biden spent his night in South Carolina. His campaign is staking survival on his strength with black voters. I want you all to think of a number. 99.9 percent. That's the percentage of African-American voters who have not yet had a chance to vote in America. Up till now, we haven't heard from the most committed constituents in the Democratic Party,
Starting point is 00:11:22 the African-American community. That's right. Joe Biden's campaign has basically become a Medea movie. If black people don't turn up, it's toast. And even though he's desperate, Biden does make a good point. It is a little weird, you have to admit, it is a little weird that the story of the Democratic race has now been written by two states that aren't representative of the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Think about it. Two overwhelmingly white states shape who the Democratic nominee will be. Then that's long before minority voters have had their say. It's almost as if the Democratic Party is having a buffet, but then white people get to pick the menu. And if you're black, that sucks, that sucks, that sucks, that sucks, that sucks, that sucks, thi. buffet but then white people get to pick the menu you know and if you're black that sucks because you get then you're just like man why the hell is there raisins and everything man and who the fuck is broccoli rob?
Starting point is 00:12:14 So that's where the race stands after two primaries. Budajjjjj and Bernie are neck and neck and all the other candidates are hoping for a boost in Nevada and South Carolina. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for us to go away for a clomersial break. Get it? All right, we'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes.
Starting point is 00:12:48 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 September 17. Welcome back to the Dune Show. The New Hampshire primary gave life to Bernie, Pete and Amy Clobyshire. But while the New Hampshire giveeth, it also takes away.
Starting point is 00:13:25 The race is getting smaller as of last night's results. We did see the suspension or termination of presidential campaigns by Andrew Yang and Senator Michael Bennett. Tonight is not going to be our night, but let me say this to New Hampshire, you may see me once again. You know I am the math guy. And it is clear tonight from the numbers that we are not going to win this race. We'll be back soon. In the meantime, though, thank you all. God bless you and God bless the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I'm not going to lie. I don't get why candidates always say they'll be back, they'll try to to see the to be, the the the to be, the, the, the, the, th, th, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi, to, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, and, thin, thin, thin, too, and, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, thin, thi, too, tho, tho. No, I know they don't want to seem like a loser, but why not just be honest? Why not just be like, New Hampshire, you guys are never going to see me ever again? Like, it's the same problem with movie villains, even though they're falling off a cliff or a building at there and they're like, oh, be ba-no, no, you won't. It would be nice if 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 thi thi. thi. thi. th thi. thi. th th thi. thi. th thi. thi. thi.

His plan for universal basic income made a big splash. And it even had an impact in the real world.
Starting point is 00:14:35 You see, he gave several families $1,000 a month for a year to test out his plan. And we sent Ronnie Chang to find out how it went. Yesterday, Andrew Yang dropped off the 2020 his plan. And we sent Ronnie Chang to find out how it went. Yesterday, Andrew Yang dropped out of the 2020 presidential race. And I'm a little sad about it. Last year, I met him in person, and there was just something about the guy that made me trust it. Not to mention, I really wanted that free money he was promising.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Every American adult at the age of 18 should get $ thousand dollars a month free and clear from the government to do whatever they want. Making it rain! It's called UBI or universal basic income and although the dream died with Yang's campaign a few lucky families did get a thousand dollars a month for a year as a test program like the Fasci family of New Hampshire. Basically he gave us a check for a thousand dollars a month from January until December of 2019. We went to his New Year's Eve party, and so that's how we got our first check was at midnight. He wrote a check and gave it to you physically. And then after probably three months he was getting really busy. He forgot about us.
Starting point is 00:15:35 What? He didn't pay on time? Yeah, it was very odd sending out a message like, hey, you owe us money. So you guys were like, hey, asshole, where's my free money? We said it much nicer than that. Oh, hey, asshole, where's my free money? So how hard to Chuck and Jody ball out with their $12,000? Did you buy a Tesla snowmobile? No, we spent 90% of it on our daughter's college tuition. College tuition, I guess that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:16:08 What else? Spent a little bit on groceries, buying some healthier choices, combu-choocher and some soy yogurt. Isn't yogurt and cumbucia for shitting? Digestion. It's for digestion. So now that the money stopped, you must be pretty backed up, right? But luckily for Chuck's Colin, he was so inspired by his UBI experience that he learned how to brew his own kumbucha.
Starting point is 00:16:31 And it is potent. Just, what is it? It's a big blob of bacteria that's been sitting in some fermented tea in my bathroom for about six weeks. Bathroom juice aside, these people spend their UBI on college, groceries and paying bills. What a bunch of idiots! It's like they don't even know what flexing means. You guys could be in head-to-to-toe supreme right now. Do you know what supreme is? No. No. No. That's how you flex to your neighbors and make them jealous. That's what money's for money is for th is for th is for th is for thi is for thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi their thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi theeeeeeeee theeeeeeeeeeea thea thea theea theeeeeeating the the? No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:17:05 That's how you flex to your neighbors and make them jealous. That's what money's for. Okay, Chuck, okay Jody. But believe it or not, balling out is the last thing on most Americans' minds. Half of American adults say they can't even cover an unexpected $400 expense. Clearly, if you give people a thousand dollars a month, they would spend it on necessities, with a few exceptions. What was it you buy?
Starting point is 00:17:28 Chuck E. Joint. I took improv classes, so I've been doing that for the last eight months. You took improv classes? Yeah, mindful improv classes. What do you mean? It means we do self-appreciations, we do vulnerabilities. Ugh. It's taught by a yoga teacher. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Andrew Yang may be out of the presidential race, but his ideas live on, and Americans deserve a shot at universal basic income. Well, maybe not all Americans. How you doing? Oh, I lost my hand. I hate improv. When it's you everyone. We'll be right back.

That's what's incredible.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look. Starting September 17th, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to your daily show. My guest tonight is an amazing actor, you know, from Get Out, sorry to bother you, and Uncut Gems. His new movie is called The Photograph. Please welcome, Le Keith Stanfield. Welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Thank you. Thank you. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Such a beautiful crowd here. Wow. The pictures of the screams are not usually the show. Thank you. Such a beautiful crowd here. Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:28 The pitches of the screams are not usually that high. Although I feel you're used to that, before we get into this movie in particular, is it safe to say that you are the least typecast actor in Hollywood? Because like, like, if I think of all the movies that you're in, whether it's uncut gems, you know, whether it's like Get Out, I mean like Get Out, that was an extreme feat of acting because you were playing a black man who was a white man at one point who used to be a black man. That's powerful act. Not many people can do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well I appreciate it. I would hope I was the least type castes. A. A. 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. th. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that was an that was an that was an that was an that was an that was an that was an that was an that was an that was an 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. I the. I the. I the. I was the. I was thee. thee. theee. theee. the. the. the. th. th was the least type cast. You know, actors, we don't like that. Right, you want to be in as many different roles as possible, and that's something you've achieved. Do you purposefully choose your scripts like that?
Starting point is 00:20:10 So do you go, I'm gonna go from one movie to another type. You don't just stay in one genre? Yeah, I kind of try to pick things that speak to and affect me kind of sort of expand. So yeah, I just try and be closer to things that mean something. And I've been very fortunate to be a part of a whole bunch of different kinds of projects. Not many actors would take the chance of going into a romancomp, you know, because it's scary when you've gone from drama. Comedy is difficult, you know, romantic comedies. In many ways people are saying you bringing them back now. You know, it's been like what 15 years since we live through the golden age of black romantic comedies, you know, thin line between love and hate with it, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:47 thin line between love and hate with it, you know, like all those movies, love and basketball, etc. You know, thrown, you know, thii. to see two amazing actors that people love, you know, it's yourself, is is yourself like for this generation now. It was. I wanted to see resurgence of dark skin love on screen. Yeah, so that was a big part of it, but the story was written very well. I wanted to work with Issa, I wanted to work with Stella, and so everything fell into place in a nice way. You, uh, you've been called one of the mavericks of the red carpet just by people, you know Most people most of us when we're on a red carpet We try and and look like appropriate for the carpet like we were like stand up and do that you
Starting point is 00:21:33 You you have broken the red carpet multiple times like you get there and you just do your own thing you you sat down See like you just sat there at the Emmys the Emmys and then I think there was another there there there there there there there there there there the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the. thi the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. the the th the the the the the th. the the the the th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the to. the tea. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the Emmys and then I think there was another red carpet where yeah you just came in right in a ski mosque right and then one of my favorites is that the Joker premiere you just showed up as the you don't take it you don't take it seriously at all do you? I don't get no fucks. Oh. I don't get no fuck. I'm going to. Is there a reason?
Starting point is 00:22:03 I just got to be the their th. Is there a reason? I just got to be comfortable, man. You got to do things your way and you know you got to enjoy yourself. I think it's the most important thing. Sometimes it's a little bit too high, strong and stressful trying to appease everybody. So you got to have fun. And then one, my legs were just tired, I think the legs were just tired, like just from standing on the night. Yeah, it was a lot of interviews, I was going up and I was like, let me take a seat real quick.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I like that about you, LaKeefe. You just got this, you've got this swag about you where you're just like, I'm just gonna do my thing. Yeah, you got to, man. It's too stressful and in the movie. She's one of the funniest people, both like scripted and off the cuff. The two of you, you know, you're playing back and forth together. I've always wondered this. When you are in a movie like this, is there a point where you find yourself, like, by mistake, falling in love? Because you're opposite. I've always, genuinely, I've always wondered that, like, when you're in a romantic movie with somebody? Yeah, thiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I. I. Like, I'm, I'm, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. the the the the the, like when you're in a romantic movie with somebody.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Yeah, I think you're trying to design a connection that will translate on camera. So I think you're trying to get into a flow with the person and kind of break down the barriers of what you don't know, and tap into what you do know, which is sort of a universal spirit. So that way when the cameras come on, the the the their their their their is their is their is their is their is their is their is coming, their is their is coming, their is a their is a their is a their, their, th. thi. thi. thin, thi. thin', thin', thi, thi, thi, thi, thin', thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin' is trying, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, throwne thing going on. So yeah, it's just a rapport, breaking down the ice, cracking jokes, kicking back, you know what I mean, relaxing. And then when you get on screen it looks like you guys have known each other. But, you know, there's different ways to chip in at it and getting at it, but I think the main best way to do it is just trust. Get in there, trust fault, go in theirse, their, their, their, you, you, their, you, you, you, you, their, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, their, you their, you're, you're, you're, you're, their, their, their, thrown, thrown, thrusting, you thrown, it looks, thi, it looks, it looks, it looks, it looks, it looks, and then looks, and then looks, thi, thi, thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, thin, thin, thin, and looks looks looks looks looks looks looks looks looks looks, their, and looks, and looks, and looks, and looks, and looks, and thi. thi, and thi, and thi.
