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. Really? 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.
Starting point is 00:00:34 February 24, 2020. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show, thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Thank you so much for coming out.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Take a seen'eat. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for coming out. in. Thank you for coming out. Thank you so much for coming out. Take a seat, everybody. Let's do this thing. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is one of the Avengers,
Starting point is 00:01:12 and now he's the star of the Netflix show, Altered Carbon. Anthony Mackey is joining us, everybody. Also on tonight's show, Bernie Sanders is the new king of the Democrats, the coronavirus is going on tour, and Donald Trump tries to pronounce Indian words. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick things off with the royal family. They like the Kardashians, but less welcoming to black people.
Starting point is 00:01:42 It's been a month since Harry and Megan announced that they wanted to leave the family and now they've been told that they're free to go but they got to leave their name tags behind. Harry and Megan will soon be Royals no more, at least publicly. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex release new details about their plan to step down from formal royal duties including an agreement with the Queen to not use the word royal in any future philanthropic or commercial pursuits. Though they will formally retain their royal highness titles, they will no longer be able to use them after the transition takes place on March 31st.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Damn, Harry and Megan are losing their titles. That's the most embarrassing royal loss since William's hairline. But yes, the Queen has announced that Harry and Megan can no longer describe themselves as royal. And I won't like, if I was Harry and Megan, I'll be like, fine, then we'll be known as Royale. It's actually pretty funny how petty the queen is being. Now because basically, you know what she's doing, she's trying to turn Harry and Megan from the official Royals to the store brand. That's what she's doing.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Like, you know how the store brand is kind of like the brand name? But just off, like, slightly? Like, frosted flakes will have Tony the tiger, but then the store is going to win this one, because it's not like Harry and Megan need those titles for us to know who they are. No one hears names like Harry and Megan and they're like, which Harry and Megan, the ones from Nashville, is that them? Anyway, let's move on from people celebrating their freedom to someone who's going 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 to be to be to be their to be losing his for a long time. Disgraced movie, Mobyle, Harvey Weinstein,
Starting point is 00:03:25 has been found guilty of rape in the third degree and of committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree. The jury acquitted him on three other charges, including the most serious of predatory sexual assault. Throughout the whole process, he kept saying, I didn't do this, I didn't do this. But of course, now he faces five 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 th. th. th thi, the, the, the, 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. 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 to to to to to the the the the the the the the he faces five to 25 years in prison at least with more possibly coming with additional charges, new charges out in Los Angeles. Yes people it's official Harvey Weinstein is going to prison which is crazy
Starting point is 00:03:55 because he already looks like he's been in prison for 25 years. Seriously, Weinstein is not going to do well in prison all right partly because other prisoners already don't like sex offenders, but they really don't like some of Harvey Weinstein movies. Yeah. They're going to come up to him in the prison yard like, I wasted $9 on Mansfield Park. That shit was a disgrace to Jane Austin.
Starting point is 00:04:16 You know what would be funny? Is if they lock up Weinstein in the same cell as Bill Cosby, yeah? Because then I can tell you then, no one is falling asleep in that cell. You go to sleep, no, you go to sleep, no, you go to sleep, no, you go to sleep. No, you go to sleep. No. And finally, let's move on from Harvey Weinstein to another plague on humanity, the coronaviruseuser Experts say the world has reached a tipping point to prevent a global pandemic after a surge of cases outside of China.
Starting point is 00:04:51 The biggest outbreak outside of Asia is in Italy, where cases spiked from three to more than 150 over the weekend. About a dozen northern Italian towns are now in lockdown. Normally bustling medieval villages turned into virtual ghost towns. Officials in Venice cancelling the rest of the city's famed carnivalivaled to to the the the the their their their taped taped taped their their tiped tiped tiped tiped their their tiped global their their their their their their turned into virtual ghost towns. Officials in Venice cancelling the rest of the city's famed carnival festival. Officials in Milan, Italy's fashion and financial capital, taking extreme precautions. This fashion show by Giorgio Armani,
Starting point is 00:05:15 deserted. Models walking the runway in a room full of empty chairs. Yes, the coronavirus has officially shut Italy down. Fashion shows canceled. Soccer matches canceled. Even the Statue of David is playing it safe. And by the way, I really do find it interesting how when the coronavirus hits a country, you learn what that country is all about. It hits Italy and it stops fashion shows and soccer matches.
Starting point is 00:05:42 In China, it stops all manufacturing plants. Like, I bet if it hits France, they'll be like, we have to reduce physical contact. Everyone is limited to just one mistress. Oh, ha ha! Now, the big news, that's really concerning is that the World Health Organization says, we are reaching a tipping point where the virus could become a pandemic.
Starting point is 00:06:02 So if you have a bucket list, now's the time to do it, my friends. Yeah, if you want to skydive, do it now. If you want to swim with sharks, do it now. If there's that woman at work, you've always wanted to kiss, stay away from her. Didn't you learn anything from Hobby Weinstein? Also, she might have the coronavirus. You want to know what I put on my bucket list? Don't get coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Checkmate. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. President Donald Trump, still not used to saying that. Last night, he flew 8,000 miles for his first state visit to India. Now, Trump's in India, partly to negotiate a trade deal and partly to get his copy of the Kama Sutra signed. Yeah, Trump and Melania used that book all the time. Her favorite position is the one where she's on top and he's not in the room. Now, you might be wondering, how would a country full of brown people react to a visit from Donald Trump?
Starting point is 00:07:05 Well, it turns out from the moment Trump arrived, it was love at first sight. President Trump just arrived this morning for a two-day visit. The president received what's being called a King's Welcome, orchestrated by the Indian Prime Minister. The president headed a massive rally packed with more than a hundred thousand people. A Make America Great Again rally, India style. They even blasted macho man before the president took the stage and when he did a show of affection for India's prime minister.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Namastay, Trump. The president is overwhelmingly popular here in India where his pro-business tough on terror image is widely admired. I happen to like Prime Minister Modi a lot. He says between the stadium and the airport will have about 7 million people, so it's going to be very exciting. Seven million people came out to see Trump go from the airport to the stadium? That's impressive.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Although to be fair, it's also India. There's 7 million people between any two locations. Yeah, I mean, the line at Indian Starbucks is 7 million people. There are Indian brides right now who are like, no, Daddy, I just want a small wedding, no more than 7 million people. It's like, okay, Alushka, first cousins only. But it is true that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald that Donald true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, their true, true, true, true, true, 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 the. But it is true that Donald Trump is very popular in India. Some like him because of his anti-Muslim rhetoric.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Some like him because of his business savvy. And all of them like him because his skin looks like Tika Masala. And since India is so fond, so fun of President Donald Jai tall trump, they pulled out all the stops for his visits. At India's famous Taj Mahal, workers paint, spruce and polish. Roads are renovated, and nearby the Yamuna River rises, as millions of liters of water are released to cover its foul, polluted smell.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Preparations included a hastily built wall that critics say was meant to block the view of a slum, keeping thousands of poor people out of sight. Yeah, India is trying so hard to impress Trump that they're building new roads, cleaning up dams, and even building a wall to hide their slums. And you know Trump's got to love that. He's just like, you see, they built a wall, and I haven't seen a single Mexican. It works, folks. Now, India cleaning its rivers and streets for Trump might seem extreme, but if you think about it,
Starting point is 00:09:34 this is basically what guys do whenever a girl says she's coming over, right? Yeah, you make the bed, pick up your clothes, hide all your junk in the closet, and you're like, damn it, so I flushed the toilet for nothing? So clearly India is trying to give Trump a memorable experience. There was, however, one tiny culture clash that Trump had to deal with. Donald Trump is in India this morning, but he could be forced to go without his favorite meals of burgers and steaks. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a devout vegetarian,
Starting point is 00:10:06 plans not to serve any meat to the president during his visit. One person who's familiar with President Trump's eating habits has told the media, they're worried about how he'll cope with the lack of meat, saying, I have never seen him eat a vegetable. I honestly don't know what's stranger. The fact that Trump might eat vegetables or that people are actually worried about how it will go. Because you realize the news wasn't even snocky about it. They weren't like, ha ha, the president has to eat vegetables. They were like,
Starting point is 00:10:40 yo, if Donald Trump eats broccoli, he could die. So this is going to be hard on Trump. And you know what I was thinking is what's worse for him is that cows are so sacred in India that they're allowed to just wander around in the city. So can you imagine how hard that's going to be for him? He hasn't eaten beef for two days, and then he's just going to start seeing cows in the streets, and he's gonna be like, oh my God, I'm elucinating, all the cows I've eaten have come back to heart me. I'm sorry, cows.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I'm so sorry. So sorry. But I will say, I'm impressed, because despite the beef issue, tru- truc- truc, in fact, he even made an effort to show the Indian people people to their their their 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. their, thi, thi, 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 thi, thi, thi, thi, toomoombea, toooomorrow, toomorrow, toof, toof, toof, toof, toof, toof, thooooooooooomorrow, their the best of his India trip. In fact, he even made an effort to show the Indian people how much he respects them by trying to speak their language. And it went about as well as you would think. India welcomes us at the world's largest cricket stadium right here in Ababad. Namustéhawattaahua, Gujarat, Sardar Patel, Ashram, Suchin, Tendulkar, Gujarat, Goa, Diwali. As the great religious teacher, Swami Vive Kamunand.
Starting point is 00:12:01 What's that? Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, even if that pronunciation was right. That facial expression was so wrong. That look like the most exercise he's gotten in decades. That's like, the most exercise he's gotten in decades. It's like, come,, come in, all right, that's my steps for the day, I'm done. Oh man.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Now, now, this was really interesting. After Trump butchered half the Hindi dictionary, Indian Twitter lost their minds, right? People were coming on like, dude, it's Namuste, it's Namaste, who messes up Namaste, but to those Indians I say, please, please, please, 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, th, th, th, that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's that's that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi, thi,, who messes up Namaste, it says Namuste. But to those Indians, I say, please, don't be mad. All right, Trump may not be able to pronounce Hindi words, but he can't pronounce English words either.
Starting point is 00:12:53 So, he's an equal opportunity offender. And besides, think about it. It would have been way scarier if Trump had come out all fluent in Hindi. Can you just came out and he's like. th. If th. If th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. their thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I'm tume'a, your ball very beautiful. Kutuch ha ha' beguil. It would be weird. So, that was day one of President Trump's trip to India. And you know what? I'm proud of the President. I'm really proud of him for teaching us a valuable lesson. And that that that is that is that is that is that is that is then thoe tho thoe tho tho thoe thoea thoea thoea to thoea to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thoomoomorrow toeole. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe.'m proud of the present. I'm really proud of him for teaching us a valuable lesson and that is no matter how old you are you can
Starting point is 00:13:27 still go to new places, make new friends and have new mind-blowing experiences like eating a carrot for the first time. And to that I say, Namuste. We'll be right back. 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.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Welcome back to the Daily Show. This weekend, we saw some major developments in the Democratic primary race. And not just that Joe Biden got bangs, no, it looks like the Democrats might already have their nominee. So, let's catch up on all the latest
Starting point is 00:14:35 in another installment of all time. Wilder versus Fury and Bernie versus everyone. This morning, feeling the burn, Bernie Sanders dominating in Nevada. Sanders not only taking the Silver State but besting his rivals among Latinos, winning both men and women, college and non-college graduates, and even the the Silver State, but besting his rivals among Latinos, winning both men and women, college and non-college graduates, and even scoring votes for moderate. I am the US senator and I got a big ego and I appreciate the Bernie. But it ain't Bernie, it is us. Damn, Bernie is really committed to socialism, right?
Starting point is 00:15:27 Even when the crowd is trying to cheer for him, he wants to share it back with them. I wonder if he's always like this. Like on his birthday, are they like, happy birthday too? He's like, no, to you. Happy birthday, to you. No, to all of us. It's all of our birthday. make a wish. My wish already came true. I got socks. But yes, Bernie Sanders won big in Vegas. And I'm not surprised. If anyone needs free college and free health care, it's
Starting point is 00:15:50 a city full of people who lost all their money playing slots. And Bernie won big with all the big Nevada demographics. That's what made this so impressive. Young people, old people, white, Latino, blue, bent, feathered, everybody, which bolstered his electability arguments. But there's still one sizable demographic that Bernie hasn't won over. And it's the other Democrats in the race. With the rise of Sanders, his opponents are beginning to take him on.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Senator Sanders believes in an inflexible, ideological revolution that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans. Some believe that the way to beat Donald Trump is to be just as polarizing. Biden with Casey Hunt, dismissing Sanders' efforts to tie himself to former President Obama. The way he talks about it, you think he and Brock were close buddies. And you think they were not? I know they were not. Ooh! Wow! I know they were not. Ooh, wow. I know they were not. It's a little weird that the Democratic primary has become a fight about who is actually friends with Obama. Because have you noticed, everyone is dropping his name.
Starting point is 00:16:58 He's in all of their ads, you know, but he's been silent this entire campaign. It's almost like Obama is the imaginary friend all the Democrats have. You know, it's just like, I saw Obama today and he told me I'm the bestest candidate and that I should be president, but nobody else saw him because he hides when the grownups come. But here's the thing, I don't know if Biden should be attacking Bernie for exaggerating his friendship with Obama, especially since Biden has to answer for some exaggerations of his own. Joe Biden has recently been telling voters that he was once arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela in South Africa in the 1970s when he was already a sitting U.S. Senator.
Starting point is 00:17:40 This day, 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela walked out of prison and entered into discussions about apartheid. I had the great honor of meeting him. I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN ambassador on the streets of Sueto trying to get to see him on Robbins Island. I came back from South Africa trying to see Nelson Mandela and getting arrested for trying to see him on Robbins Island. He was in prison.
Starting point is 00:18:05 But tonight, the New York Times reviewed all available records and can't find any evidence of that arrest actually happening. Man, this is not a good look for Biden. Because remember, first, he falsely claimed he marched in the civil rights movement. Now he's making up a story about getting arrested in apartheid South Africa. It's weird. The guy's trying so hard to impress black voters that next he's going to be like, I was there when Tachala did the trial by combat.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I looked, kill manga in the face, and I told him, cut the malarkey, corn pop. Now, although Biden keeps telling this apartheid story, nobody else on the trip remembers getting arrested. And there's no proof of it ever happening. And I'll be honest, as a South African, I'm personally offended by this. Because Nelson Mandela hated it when people used his name to make themselves seem more important. Like, that's what he told me when we were in prison together.
Starting point is 00:19:02 So, after the Nevada caucus, the Democratic nomination picture is becoming clearer. Warren and Klobuchar need a miracle to get back in the race. Biden and Budaje are fighting desperately to be the moderate alternative and as it stands Bernie seems to be on a clear path to winning the most delegates. And I can tell you now, when he wins them, Bernie ain't sharing shit. It's not us, it's me. We'll be right back. When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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.

Welcome back to the daily show. My guests tonight helped save the universe from Thanos, and now he's trying his hand
Starting point is 00:20:23 at solving future crime in season two of the Netflix series, Altered Carbon. Please welcome, Anthony Mackey. Man, there's nothing more humbling than being 41 and naked in front of everybody. Man. There's nothing more humbling than being 41 and naked in front of everybody. Oh, eat your veggies. I don't think that is humbling at all. Man, oh, I was like, don't go to the... Oh, there it is.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Oh, there's the round, brown. Oh, boy. Look away. I feel like that's motivation. You look good, man. Oh, I'm away. I feel like that's motivation. You look, you look good, man. You did. All right, all right. I mean, you know, thank you. Because most people in Hollywood would be like, let's get a stunt double for that part, we'll get a butt double. And you were like, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:21:15 No, you're going to get the round brown. You won it, you got it. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

Thank you sir. Congratulations on this on this new show. This is an interesting show, Altered Carbon, because it's a show about people who can basically shape-shift and go into other bodies. It's almost like they're traveling through souls and human experiences. So you are playing a character that we know from the first season, but you are new, but now you're playing someone who's being someone who was played by someone else. How do you prepare for that as an actor? You got very good. Yes. So I started off as Asian, then I was white, now I'm black.
Starting point is 00:21:50 So it's amazing. It's basically the storyline if you didn't see season one is they created these carbon chips. You're able to put your soul and your memory into these chips. Right. And the bodies are considered sleeves. So from planet to planet, solar system and solar system, if you can pay enough, you can have an upgraded better sleeve. Or if you want a security guard who's, like, in this season, I'm a gadget wizard Kung Fu karate killer with magnetic killer style.
Starting point is 00:22:20 So... Why, when you watch it, you're gonna say that dude got magnetic killer style. So, they took my carbon soul and put it into me, and here I am. So, when you are playing a character like this, because this world is completely unique, are you trying to think of yourself as the Asian person who was a white person, as who's now a black person, or you a black person who thinks was a previous white person who was an Asian person? You know what? This is a very good question by the way. No, so when you watched when I watched the first season I saw what Will and Joel were doing they had a certain through line of
Starting point is 00:22:55 energy of charisma with this character so I had to take that into this second season but in the same way I had to put my own funk on it. Right. Because they could have their style, you know, that subtlety, that aggression. But this is a love story. This is Romeo and Juliet. This is Shakespearean, man. People have said that about the show. So I had to bring that. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:15 People said, I read him as the badass, we know him as the Kung Fu monster guy, yes, fighting, and the action sequences are amazing. I fight a lot. Right. But what people enjoyed seeing was the softest side of you, the romantic. I am a heartless romantic. I am. I am. Wait, did you say heartless? Yes. No, no, no, no. Yes, I am a heartless romantic because I do not apologize for it. There is no inhibition in my romanticies. I gave myself the best Valentine's Day I've ever had. You, you, that sounds, uh, hey, it's 2020, baby. It's 2020. You, you know what, I feel like you are that person though, because I remember the last time I hang out with you in person, it was after a Justin Timblet. th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, because, th, because, th, because, th, thin, because th, because thin, thi, th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because 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, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, th, because th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the thi thi thi, thi's 2020. You, you know what, I feel like you are that person, though, because I remember the last time I hang out with you in person,

So it's a loud, so it's a loud. And I see Anthony then, I'm like, oh, the the the the the last, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's the last, it's the last, it, it's a the last, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it.

It's like I built a house the wood and the doors and I was like is this a metaphor for Hollywood in your career But you you actually build houses yeah yeah, yeah, like with your hands? Yeah, Explain. There's something amazing. Like, so I'm from New Orleans. And best city in the world, 5.04, slow your roll, recognize the real.
Starting point is 00:24:54 So, too black, too fast. I'm sorry. So, after Katrina, the devastation of New Orleans was horrific. And there was so much empty space, so much, so many things were washed away. Like, I don't, my, I do not exist before 16 years old, because everything was gone. So now, when I see a piece of grass, I think of the family that was there, the history that was there, the house that was there. So I go and I buy that grass, and I build a house on that grass so that I can afford a family affordable housing and the opportunity to live in a great neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:25:40 I don't want all the money from Sarah Lee, I just want the money from the moon pie. You can get the honey bun. That's amazing. I genuinely didn't know. I thought you just built houses for fun. No, no, no. But I mean, that's a beautiful reason to build houses. But is there a reason you do it yourself? Well, because I'm a man.
Starting point is 00:25:58 I'm't know. I have a truck and I have tools and I have a tool belt and I have a hammer. And I got like, tools. And then there's these big old stores with a bunch of tools in them. So I go to the store and I'm like, what is that jigsaw? I need a band saw in my garage. And then you go to the pawn shop. And every tool you need is 50% off.
Starting point is 00:26:28 It's crazy. Let me get the street, though. Like, you have this passion, but it had to have come from somewhere, though. Like, you've, because I've had a truck before in life. I've had to tools. I've once worn a the the tooled tooled tooled tooled, tooled, tooled, tooled, to to to to to to to to to thea, thea, thea, to tool, to tool, to, to, to, to, to, too, to, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, I've once worn a tool belt. At no point did I say, yeah I'm going to go build a house. It had to come from somewhere. It came from my dad. My dad was a contractor and my dad, you know, with his eighth grade education, raised six kids in a house that, you know, that my mama built. And I was fortunate enough to grow up in a house that my dad built and the largest levy break during Katrina was in my dad's backyard.
Starting point is 00:27:06 And ever since growing up in that house, you know, when everything went wrong and the economy went crazy and everything fell apart, every morning my dad woke up and said, they can take everything they want, they can take the cars, they can take everything this house. Wow. And it taught me the the the the the the took took took took took took took took took took took ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta tho tho that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thoing thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that, that, that, the. the. the. to to to the. to to to to to to to to to to thee. thei. thea. thea. th. You know, like to use the word home. You know, there's nothing that compares to that.
Starting point is 00:27:31 That's why I live in New Orleans, because I lived in New York for 12 years. I loved it. Dear New York, the way it'll never be done again. I've been fortunate enough to live in, I would say 90% of the best cities in the world, but I moved back to New Orleans because that's my home. Like I can sit on my porch with a cup of coffee and see a dude walking down the street practicing his trombone. No other city in the world can you see that. I can throw a rock and hit a great trumpet player. That is the best slogan for New Orleans I've ever heard in my life. Come to New Orleans, you can throw a rock and hit a great trumpet player. My man, you are a superhero in real life, as well as in the shows in the movies. Thank you all to go to bed here.
