Starting point is 00:01:22 From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York York, this is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in and thank you for coming out. Let's do it. Our guest tonight was nominated for an Oscar for his breakout role in the movie Get Out. Tonight he's here with a brand new film, Queen and Slim. Daniel Kulia is joining us everybody. But first, we're going to jump straight into the major news story that everyone has been talking about today.
Starting point is 00:02:08 The beginning of public impeachment hearings into Donald J. Trump. The J stands for impeachment. That sounded better in my head. Now, just to get everybody on the same page. Six weeks ago, a whistleblower reported that Donald Trump was abusing the power of his office. And in response, the Democrats launched impeachment hearings behind closed doors, which makes sense. It's winter. You don't want the doors open, everyone gets cold. But the Republicans complained about the closed door, saying that the public was only hearing bits
Starting point is 00:02:37 and pieces what was going on, and it wasn't transparent. You know, sort of like listening to a movie that's playing in the apartment next door. Where you're like, ah, I think Batman is fighting? Bradley Cooper, because he wants him to sing like Lady Gaga? So in the face of these complaints, the Democrats gladly agreed to air Donald Trump's dirty laundry for everyone to see. And today was laundry day. So let's catch up on the first day of the public impeachment hearings in our ongoing segment, the magical wonderful road to impeachment. Impeachment. It's a magical, wonderful road to impeachment.
Starting point is 00:03:12 It's probably presidential harassment. Impeachment. It's democracy's money back guarantee. But it's also one of the few constitutional processes that's actually exciting. In many ways it's like an eclipse. It only happens like every 20 years and Donald Trump stares directly into it no matter how much it hurts. And you can tell today was a big deal just by how the media was covering this thing from every angle. This is the table where those diplomats will be sitting. You're going to have Democrats on one side of the room, Republicans on the other side. This is one of the largest hearing rooms at the Capitol.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Behind me here in that big, big chair, that is where the chair of the Intelligence Committee, Adam Shiff, will be sitting. We understand that C-SPAN normally would have three cameras. is today they have seven. George Kent is just arriving and is about to go through security. George Kent is entering the magnetometer area putting his personal belongings on the belt. We're all familiar with the process. So exciting. What's gonna happen next? Does he forget his keys are in his pockets? Is he gonna have to walk through again? The suspense is killing me! I hope I hope they just like followed him the whole day like that? MSNBCBCC, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like th, like the, like the, like thi the thi, the, tho, 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, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. is th. is thi. is thi. George, the, tho. George, toda, today, today, tho. tho. George, thoo. again, the suspense is killing me. I hope they just like followed him the whole day like that.
Starting point is 00:04:26 MSNBC, like George Kent, appears to be closing his eyes and opening them repeatedly. A process where heard is referred to as blinking. Now, for the first day of the public hearings, the Democrats chose to call two witnesses. Bill Taylor, the acting ambassador to Ukraine, and George Kent, senior State Department official and Townsperson in a 1950s musical. And before the questioning even started, both men emphasized in their opening statements that they aren't team Republican or team Democrats, they're playing on America's side. It has been a privilege for me to serve our country and the American people for more than 50 years. I am nonpartisan and have been appointed to my positions by every president from President
Starting point is 00:05:08 Reagan to President Trump. I am not here to take one side or the other. I have served proudly as a nonpartisan career foreign service officer for more than 27 years under five presidents, three Republican and two Democrats. I represent the third generation of my family to have chosen a career in to to to p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p by by by by by by to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th th th th th to thi thi thi thi thi to to thi thi thi thi- thi- the the th th th th to 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 th the the th the th th the th the the the the the the to to be to be to to to the to to to thean to to to to the to the thean. thean thean. the the the the the the two Democrat. I represent the third generation of my family to have chosen a career in public service. Indeed, there has been a George Kent sworn to defend the Constitution continuously for nearly 60 years.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Ooh! Three generations of George Kent have been defending the Constitution. It almost sounds like the only reason America keeps running is because of George Kent. Yes, if America is in office, George Kent, to have to have to have a to to to have to have to have to have to have to have to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to have chosen to to to to to to to to to the Constitution. It almost sounds like the only reason America keeps running is because of George Kent's. Yes, if America's in office, George Kent is the only guy who knows how to fix the printer. It was the toner cartridge. It's always the toner cartridge. I will say, though, there's going to be a lot of pressure on the next George Kent. Yeah, you know he's going to be like, screw the Constitution,, I was born to uphold the law, I was born
Starting point is 00:06:05 to dance! Woo! So, both of these men are devoted non-partisan civil servants. So if you hear these guys saying that Trump did some messed up shit, you know to take it seriously. And from the sound of it, Trump did some messed up shit. Once I arrived in Kiev, I discovered a weird combination of encouraging, confusing, and ultimately alarming circumstances.
Starting point is 00:06:28 According to Mr. Morrison, President Trump did insist that President Zelensky go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of Biden and 2016 election interference. Ambassador Sondlin tried to explain to me that President Trump is a businessman. When a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something, the businessman asked that person to pay up before signing the check. I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with the political campaign.
Starting point is 00:06:59 What did you mean when you said you thought it was crazy? It was illogical. It could not be explained. It was crazy. Hmm. Unexplainable, illogical, crazy. That's the description Bill Taylor gave of Trump's actions. It's also the title of Trump's new memoir. Same thing, yes.
Starting point is 00:07:16 It's my full story, and it's a coloring book, folks. You're gonna love it. And the ambassador Taylor's tailerter's taeetestified that Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden. And the ambassador even came with new evidence that hadn't been public before. Last Friday, a member of my staff told me of events that occurred on July 26. In the presence of my staff at a restaurant, Ambassador Salon called President Trump and told him of his meetings in Kiev. The member of my staff could hear President Trump on the phone asking Ambassador Sonnen about the investigations about the investigations.
Starting point is 00:07:53 The member of my staff asked Ambassador Sonnen what President Trump thought about Ukraine. Mr. Solon responded that President Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden, which Giuliani was pressing for. Okay, this is just unbelievable. Trump's people were discussing the Ukrainian plot in public, in a restaurant? That's what he's saying. I mean, first of all, that's rude. You're in a restaurant. You put your phone away, all right? You engage.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And also, why is Trump talking so loudly on the phone that people can hear him on the other side. He reminds me of every immigrant father ever talking on the phone. Just like, no don't worry, I also had happies when I was 16, huh? It's going to go away. Like, shh, uncle, I'm with my friends. Oh, I'm sorry. Tell your friends to be careful of happies, huh? Now for the Democrats, today was all about showing the Democrats, the Democrats, today, today, to to thiiiiiii, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm toe, I'm toe, I'm, I'm toe, I'm toe, I'm, I'm toe, I'm toe, I'm toe, I'm to bea, I'm toe, I'm toe, I'm toe, I'm toe, I's, I's, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.. toe, I... toe, I. toe, I. toe, I. toe, I's too, I's too, I'm too, I'm too, too, too, today, today, today, too, today, too, too, too, too, tooananananananan. too, I'm too, I'm too, I'm today was all about showing the American people that Trump abused his office by trying to extort Ukraine. And in response to the Republican arguments that Trump may have tried to do it but wasn't successful, Joaquin Castro had a few questions. So ambassadors is attempted murder a crime?
Starting point is 00:08:54 Is attempted murder a crime? Is attempted robbery a crime? Attempted murder is a crime. Is attempted robbery a crime? Neither of us is a lawyer. I think anybody in this room could answer that question. I think that's right. I'll go out on a limb and say, yes it is. Is attempted extortion and bribery a crime? I don't know, sir. Hmm. That's a pretty effective line of questioning.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I mean, it's either that or Castro was just trying to get some free legal advice. Now, what if I attempted to steal my neighbor's Wi-Fi but couldn't figure out the password? Is that a crime? Yes, and I know it's not his dog's name because I killed his dog, which brings me to my second question. Now, the Republicans also had the turn turn turn turn turn turn turn tune tune tune tune tune t their turn to question the witnesses about what Trump had done, but it seemed like they were trying to solve a completely different case. Was Hunter Biden a corporate governance expert? I have no idea. You know if Hunter Biden relocated to Ukraine? No knowledge. Is he the Jeffrey Sahnanfeld of the Ukraine? Do you know if he speaks Ukrainian?
Starting point is 00:10:01 Given Hunter Biden's role in Barism's board of directors, Hunter Biden's added to the board of Barisman. Hunter Biden, do you know whether Hunter Biden offers anything other than the fact that his dad's the former vice president? And also, does Hunter Biden? Or do you think I could send him a card? Is he like seeing someone? Because I totally this? Like here's the thing, man. If Republicans want to investigate Hunter Biden, then investigate Hunter Biden. But that's not what this hearing is about.
Starting point is 00:10:29 You're just making it about something else. Imagine if the cops showed up to your office to investigate a robbery, and while they're dusting for Prince, you pop up like, hey, I know you guys are busy, but could you also figure out who's been stealing my yogurt? I'm like, that's not the reason we hear. Well, maybe it should be, okay? That was Ukrainian yogurt. But Republicans weren't just trying to figure out Hunter Biden's height, weight, and favorite color. When it was Congressman Jim Jordan's turn to ask questions, his big arguments was that none of this testimony should count because it was all a game of telephone.
Starting point is 00:11:00 You weren't on the call, you weren't on the call, were you? The president, you didn't listen on President Trump's call and President Lissie's call? I did not. You never talk with Chief of Staff Malvani? I never did. You never met the president? That's correct. This is what I can't believe, and you're their star witness. You're their first witness. You're the guy, based on the guy. prayer chains that are easier to understand than this. That's a good point. Good point, Jim Jordan. These guys don't have first-hand knowledge of what Trump was doing with Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:11:29 So why are they the ones testifying? I mean, maybe it's because the White House has blocked all the people who do have first-hand knowledge from testifying. That's a good point, Trevor. All of today, Jim Jordan's only focus was making it seem like this entire process was somehow a sham. But it all backfired when he tried to turn the focus to the whistleblower. Now there is one witness, one witness that they won't bring in front of us, they won't bring in front of the American people. And that's the guy who started it all, the whistleblower. Nope.
Starting point is 00:12:03 I say to my colleague to'd be glad to have the person who started it all come in and testify. President Trump is welcome to take a seat right there. Oh, this congressional hearing was filmed in front of a live studio audience. You know, by Congress standards, that was a pretty good slam. Yeah. The only way it could have been better, as if the congressman was like, seriously, President the tru-t is the the the th is th is the th is the person th is th is the th is th. the th. th. the thi thi-in thi-in the person's thi-in, the person's thi-in, thi-in, tho-in-in-in-in, thi-s, thi-in' thi-in thi-in thi-in thi-s thi-s thi-s, thi-s, thi-s thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, th, th, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi-s. thi-s, thi-s, that was a pretty good slam. Yeah. The only way it could have been better is if the congressman was like, seriously, President Trump is welcome any time. In fact, I've actually got his invite right here. Mea, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Ma'a, ma'am. Ma'a. So, that was day one of the public impeachment hearings. And the only way we'll find out more about this saga is when, off day two. Or we could just sit next to Donald Trump's people in a restaurant and hear what he shouts over the phone. or experience. But not with Zip Recruiter.

Starting point is 00:15:25 Love you in the episode running on the treadmill. We all loved you. And then get out came, changed everything. One of the greatest horror slash thriller slash everything's we've ever seen. And now black people don't go to white people's houses and drink tee anymore. Right, and you were nominated for an Oscar. What's it been like since then? Um, phew. Put it like that. Yeah, it's been weird, like a lot of selfies.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I don't know. I don't know. It's gone upside down. Right. It's gone upside down. I used to get the bus. I used to just chill out and just roll around. And then so it's completely shifted
Starting point is 00:16:05 like what I'm exposed to and X, Y, Z, and but it's what's amazing that it hasn't changed the fact that I just do work that I believe in. Do you what I'm saying? That's interesting. That's, um, so when you say it's flipped upside down, doesn't mean like you don't catch the bus anymore. time yeah, after get out came out yeah and then they were like some guy was just like what are you doing it? I'm like going somewhere I'm going I'm going I'm going somewhere but he's like you're a movie star what are you doing on a bus? Yeah but I was like where am I must how am I supposed to get to Warren Street?
Starting point is 00:16:35 Yeah but I also don't like the idea of you like being in public transport when you were in a movie like get out because if I you you you you you you you the you the the the you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 to to go to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to. to. I the to. the to. I'm to. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I would think I'm now in a horror movie. It would scare me. It would scare me. I think you should just be like rolling around in like ubers and stuff. Like don't you can't just be in public transport. That's not cool. Yeah, that's what happened. It's like the reaction of people.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yeah, you freak people out. . Exactly. But it has been an amazing journey for you. I mean, Get Out, Black Panther, you've been in some of the biggest movies that we've been watching and now this film is coming out, Queen and Slim. And it is such a gripping film. That scene is what people see in the trailer. It's just the beginning of a journey. Where you play a character who's going on a tinder date date that ta'nit's a takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes takes ta ta ta ta ta ta tha'nit is tha'nit is tha'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n' th'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n't. the. the. the. the. thea'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n't. the. the weird turn. I mean, tinder dates often go weird. It's a jungle. Right, but, but I mean, this is extreme. Like, like, we saw that. It starts off with a cop who's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:29 not handling a situation well. Next thing you know, a gun goes off, and then it's basically this new couple on the run, but they have to deal with each other because they have to go on the run and survive right and then they they they throw their phones out to their it's like a metaphor they throw their options away just saying and they have to kind of like look at each other and see how and connect because they're having this experience together while if that incident didn't happen they would just thr you they'll just they'll just they'll just the the they'll just the the they're th you th I I I th I th I thus. thus. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're thi. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to to thi. they're thi. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're happen, they would just go somewhere else and go elsewhere. It would have just been like, that was a horrible date, I'm going home and it's over. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:06 So do you think that's what we need to do to get people to stay in relationships? Is have them, have them be part of a really heinous like incident in life. Yeah, and then like it brings them extreme. That's a TV show that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's what that's, that's what that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what that's what we that's what we that's what we that's what we that's what we th. th. th. that's what th. th. th. th. that's what th. th. thi. that's what that. that. that. that's what that, that's what that, that's what that's what that's what that's what that get people together and then just we go like, the two of you have involved in somebody dying and now you are happily married, then that's it. That's it. That's it. You can't break up. That's a great show. We should have co-executive produce that. That's what I'm trying to say. That's a show. It does feel like you take on roles that speaks really powerful issues that speaks really the th, th, to th, th, to, th, th, to, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, that, tho, tho, tho, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin thin thin thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, and now, thou, and now, thin, and thou, and thin, and thoua, and thin, and thoua, and thin, thin, thooooooooooo, and now Because Queen and Slim is, this is the thing to explain to people. It's a really fun movie, you know, in the way that we love watching movies, like whether you're a fan of like Robert De Niro in heat or something or you're Thelman Louise or any movie with people on the run, but at the same time it feels
Starting point is 00:18:57 like it comments on what's happening today. Do you pick your movies based on that? Are you looking at a film role going, oh, this speaks to society? Or are you just looking for great characters and a great story? No, no. Yeah, I made a decision a few years ago. And I was like, oh, do I want to be a great singer? Do I want to sing great songs? And so then I was like, oh, I have to be in the context. I have to be in, they call it the culture now. I have to just be around and then listen to my friends, listen to my people around me, listen to how they feel and what they complain about.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Right, right. And then that's all, I'm taking that in. And I'm living it as well. And so then when they're watching that. That's interesting. So I'll go to the cinema. I'll go watch Fast and Furious and I'll go watch an art house film at the same time. I like, with my friends and I really listen to how it made them feel. And I want to make them feel good. I want to make my friends feel good.
Starting point is 00:19:53 So and the micro, it is the macro, it is the macro, it is the macro, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, 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, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I, and I, and I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the..... the. the. the. the. to the. to to the. to to to to to to to to to the to to to the to the to the the the feel the humanity, we understand the complex ideas of what we're trying to tackle every day, and we're dealing with it through one incident. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and seeing it through our perspective, do you know, a black perspective, which is, as a history of being dehumanized. That's one of the interesting things that I think, you know, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, and, thin, and, thin, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thi, thi, and, and, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and, and thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr.. thr. thr. thr. thr. thri. thri. thr. thri. thr. thr. thr. thri. And, and, and, and, and, thr. are regardless of where they happen in the world. And for a long time, people have told stories. They didn't even think of it as the white experience. They just said, oh, it's an experience.
Starting point is 00:20:31 You know, and then people started realizing, oh, there are different stories to tell. And people are experiencing different thiiii. throwns, their, to tho. tho. too. too. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And tho. And th. And th. And th. And th. And tha. And tha. And tha. And tha. And tha. And tha. And too. And tha. And tha. And to. And too. And too. And toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. And the. And realizing how many of the themes are similar to what people are experiencing in Britain if they're black, people experiencing in South Africa they're black, because the stories connect to everybody. Yeah, because it's similar dynamics. It's not the same, but it's similar dynamics. So, like I grew up on American, African American sitcoms. I was watching my wife and the sister sister sister. That was I? Yeah, it reminded me, I looked to the African American experience to see myself. That wasn't on British television in that way.
Starting point is 00:21:11 There was Desmons and there was, I can't remember the other show. But there was a numerous amount of black shows a couple, but it was, the majority was from the african American experience. And I saw it from the beginning, there, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, I, th, I, I, I, I, th, I, I, th, I, I, th, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I.. I, I, I, I, I, I. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the beginning, I saw there was a connective tissue. Right, right. And I think with globalization, and it's funny because Black Mirror is like a metaphor for it, because I did that in 2011,
Starting point is 00:21:32 and then it kind of came and went, and then Netflix happened. So then the world became smaller. So they would see the show that we shot for two weeks outside of London in a room, they would see it and they would put it in the same way of breaking bad. It's side by side. Right, right, right. And that's what's kind of happened is that now, now it's almost like everyone's closer together.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Like, it's like London is now a state in itself. There's such a wealth of creativity coming out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it might become a state because of Brexit. I mean, that makes a big sense. I hope so. I hope so. Before I let you go, the movie is really generating buzz, you know.
Starting point is 00:22:13 It's a powerful story, you know, Lena waits, you know, and you've got Melina who's one of the best directors who stories for Beyonce to now, you know, feature films. Right. And insecure, obviously. If somebody goes and watches this film, what would you tell them to like try and and focus on when they're in the movie? Because sometimes people miss ideas or themes in a film because they watch a trailer or they read a review beforehand. But if you go like, hey man, when you go into this movie, I want you this state state this state this state this state this state this state this state to this state to to have this state this movie, I want you to have like this state of mind. What would you want that state of mind to be? Oh, that's a good question. Oh, man. That's good question. You know, what can you say?
Starting point is 00:22:53 I kind of, just stay open and, and, and, and, and, and, try and understand why you don't know their names. Oh, that's powerful. That's, now you see now, now, now, now, th.
