Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling. 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. Does anyone celebrate Apple here? No?

No one who observes EFL? Apple made big news. They announced that starting next year they're going to allow people to fix their own phones now, which is huge. People are super excited. You're like, yeah, finally I can't fix them. Which is also like, shows you how smart Apple is. Like, because now they've just tricked us into fixing our own phones.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I get to fix my, how does this, how do you put, how do, how do, how do, how do, how do, how do, how do, the screen, the screen, the screen, the screen, the screen, the screen, the screen, the screen, the screen, the screen, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, yeah, I get to fix my own. Wait, how does this, how do you put the screen on the... I mean, have you tried just to put like a screen cover on your phone? Just a screen protector. Have you ever tried to do that? Now you're going to be there fixing your own phone. Mm-mm. Yeah. Apple's probably there like, yeah, no, you guys try and then you'll come in later with like, just like 500 pieces begging to get the new iPhone. Please, I don't know what happened, guys, please. It's still a good thing though. It's good because it means now you can get the phone fixed at like a professional repair

store you don't have to go to Apple. And also it means we no longer have to take it to the genius bar. That was the thing I resented the most. Those smug people. Yeah, I'm a genius. No, you're not. You just know how to fix the phone and I don't. You just have a special screwdriver. Now I have to call you a genius because you have a screwdriver that I don't have.

You're not a genius. You're you can figure quantum things out. You just like screw the phone. Welcome to the genius part. Now, yeah, look at me now. Look at me! Now I am the genius. Coming to you from the heart of Times Square in New York City, the only city in America.

It's the Daily Show. Tonight, other countries have issues too, giving thanks on the cheap, and Hallie Berry. This is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. And there is a lot going on today. Now obviously, the new Adele album drops at midnight, which means you're about to be able to tell who's going through a breakup through your walls. The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial

took a bathroom break and let Kyle be the judge while he was gone, yeah, which I've never seen before but he insists is totally normal. And two men who were framed for the killing for the killing for the killing for the killing for the killing the killing the the the the the their their their their their the killing of Malcolm X 50 years ago were finally exonerated, which means the real killer could be anyone in this room. But while American news is always breaking, it's also good to remember that other countries have news too. All right, let's kick things off with Russia. The fictional country depicted in Creed 2.

They're also the real-life country that likes invading other countries. And now, they might be back on their bullshit. Overseas tonight and the growing concern involving Russia, the US is warning Russia may be weighing a potential invasion of Ukraine. Satellite images tonight showing Russian troops and equipment gathering about 142 miles north of the border with Ukraine. Despite an estimated 100,000 Russian troops gathering along their border, Ukrainian forces appear confident and prepared for battle.

After years of pushing for membership, the Eastern European country is still not a part of NATO, meaning they don't have treaty protection if Russia invades. Although this hasn't stopped the Americans, British, and French from offering statements of support. We are going to watch very closely as the Russian Federation chooses its actions in the coming days and weeks. Yeah, that's what I want from my allies, is for them to watch very closely as someone whips my ass. Guys, guys, I'm getting attacked!

I'm getting attacked! Donniel, you're recording right? theyreau, you're recording right? Yeah, we got you, boy, we got you. We see them beating your ass. If you're Ukraine, this situation sucks, man, this is, this is, this is, this is, thii. this is, 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, 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. th it doesn't seem like the world is willing to get into a war to protect Ukraine and can I be honest can I be honest with you I think it's because people don't have a personal connection to Ukraine like if Russia was invading Italy or France or people would do something about it oh no the art the Colosseum we have to protect it like if I was Ukraine I would have bought the worldwide rights to all the Seinfel Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe Fe th th I th I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I the the thu-I tho-I can't th. th. th. th. th. Can't th. Can't th. Can't the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. Can, th. Can, th th th th th th th th thi thi thi the the the of theateateateateateateateateateat thrown. I throwne thean thean thean thean thean. I can can can't thean. And I th Ukraine, I would have bought the worldwide rights to all the Seinfeld reruns,

then people would care. If you don't protect us from Russia, you will never again see Kramer open door like crazy. Also, this is genius timing from Russia, right? You realize it's not a mistake. Because anyone who knows history knows, you're not going to send troops into Russia at the beginning of winter. So basically Russia has like what, five months to do whatever they want. Yeah, the rest of the world is gonna be standing by. Like, this will not stand Russia. Your ass is gonna pay as soon as mid-April rolls around,

it depends on what the groundhog says. And like, why does Russia even need more land? Have you seen Russia? It's huge. Why you doing this? Like I would get if Monaco wanted to invade another country. I mean, they're running out of closet space, but Russia? Now, while Russia is getting ready to invade, another country in Europe is setting up a different kind of invasion. Because they're not using tanks or missiles.

They're using immigrants. Turning out of the border crisis, this one playing out in Europe as thousands of migrants try to enter the European Union from Belarus. These are the front lines. What the European Union says is a hybrid war. The EU accusing Belarus's dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, of using migrants as weapons, purposefully luring them into Belarus from countries like Iraq and Syria by promising them easy access to Europe. Poland then refusing to let them in, Belarus refusing to take them back, leaving thousands of people stuck in the middle.

Man, come on, people, this is just dirty. Basically what's going on is that for a while now, the European Union has been imposing sanctions, the Eccanter of Belarus, an Eastern Europe's my pillow guy. And you see, he's been stealing elections, he's been cracking down on protesters, jailing journalists, basic dictator shit. And now, Lukashenko is trying to get back at the European Union by flying in migrants from the Middle East and then sending them into Poland to create a border crisis, which is the most passive, aggressive military tactic I have ever heard

of. This is like when your parents start cooking with peanuts to get you to move out of the house because they know you're allergic. It's a dick move. And obviously everyone is really mad about this. Not just because it's inhumane to these migrants, but because unlike Ukraine, we can't let anything happen to Poland. I mean mean that's where all our water comes from. Because you realize people this is especially cruel, right? It's especially cruel to these migrants. These are real people who are just trying to live better lives.

It is disgusting to use them as weapons. I mean say what you want about Drake and Kanye's beef, but at least they didn't catapult Mexicans at each other. But let's move on because while Belarus is trying to destabilize Poland, there's another country that's already on the brink of collapse. Ethiopia, where a brutal year-long conflict has forced millions out of their homeland and is threatening to disintegrate into an all-out civil war. Rebels from Tigray province appear to be advancing toward the capital, Addis Ababa. Ethiopia's Prime Minister called for national unity, and authorities in Addis Ababa rounded up ethnic Tigrians today.

Two weeks ago, the State Department urged all Americans to leave Ethiopia. But with echoes of Afghanistan, the State Department doesn't know or won't say how many Americans are in the country. Last week, the State Department did make a point of saying there would be no Afghan-style evacuation for Americans stuck in Ethiopia. They did, however, offer to help them get on commercial flights out. Yeah, this is tough news for Ethiopians and this is tough news for Americans in Ethiopia.

Because in Afghanistan, the US government staged an all-out airlift. Meanwhile in Ethiopia, they're like, might we suggest price line.com? Like, I don't even know what that means. What do they mean when they say, the State Department will help you help you book a commercial flight out? That's not helpful. People know how to book flights.

That's like going, hey, then you hit request a ride. Best of luck, buddy. Also, flying commercial is the worst way to evacuate a war zone. Can you imagine that stress? Please, please, the soldiers are coming. We need to get out now. Sir, are you a diamond medallion member? Okay, please step aside. Anyone in group A or above, we're boarding you now, sir, please, please stand back. Just relax, thank you. And you know who this is a great opportunity for, though, right?

Alexander Lukashenko. I bet he's already sliding into American DMs like, I can hook you up with the free private flights to the Polish border. Are you interested? But you've got a feel for Ethiopians, man. Because any time their countries in the news, it is either either either either either because because because because because because because because because because because their their long-distance runner broke the world record, which are all pretty extreme things if you think about it. I feel like we need more coverage of just like regular ass Ethiopians, you know, who can't run,

don't know how to fight, just want to chill. And please understand this, please understand. This is a really complicated and sensitive story, right? Because for about a year now, the government has been at war with a the thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, it's, it, it's, it's thi, 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, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it is th. th. th, it is th, it is th. th. th, it is th. thi, it is thi, it is thi, thi, it is thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, thr-is' thr-a' is thr-a' is theean, thr-is' thean, i's thean, i. And, i. And, i. for about a year now, the government has been at war with a rebel group. But that's like the simplified version, because there are so many layers of this conflict that we just don't have the time to do it justice. This is a huge beef with a history that goes back decades involving rival ethnic groups,

different territories, foreign interference, because African conflicts are never simple. They're super complicated. And everyone, and everyone, and everyone, and everyone, and everyone, and every, and every, and every, and every, because African conflicts are never simple. They're super complicated and everyone has different versions of events. They're basically like white people conflict, but with more seasoning. So from Russia's military to migrants in Belarus and armies in Ethiopia, people everywhere are on the move. Meanwhile in India, the only place people might be moving to is back inside. Smothered by smog, a toxic haze hanging over New Delhi and it is raising the level of air pollution to dangerous levels.

Schools in the Indian capital have shut their doors until further notice and private construction banned at least for now. India's environmental ministry panel on air pollution has directed Delhi and other states to encourage private officers to allow work from home. But for street vendors staying home is not 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 to to to to to to to to to their 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 their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their their their their their their their their their their their their tox.ea.ea.ea.ea.exic, their tox.e. toxic, toxic, toxic haea. toe is toe states to encourage private officers to allow work from home but for street vendors staying home is not an option. The pollution is unbearable the government must take some steps. We are forced to work because we can't stay indoors forever. For now Delhi's residents will be inhaling this toxic air which according to report by the University of Chicago is 10 times worse in northern India than anywhere else in the the their the thoes thoes thoes tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the the the the the the the the.

But their their xic air, which according to report by the University of Chicago,

is 10 times worse in northern India than anywhere else in the world. God damn, did you hear that? The air in New Delhi right now is 10 times worse than anywhere else in the world. That means you'd be better off just sticking your face in that steam that comes out of the ground in New York City. Which by the way what is that shit? Like is there a fire down there? I've lived here for many years I still don't understand what that is like someone dry-cleaning a rat? What would feel like it's worth looking into? No one, just me? You know one detail I like from

the story is that the Indian government put together an environmental ministry panel on air pollution, who confirmed that the air was indeed polluted. You don't need a panel. I don't know why they did that. Why do governments like doing this? You just need eyes. Yes, after three years of study, we have concluded that Delhi's air is brown and you see this is a great example of why we all need to move to cleaner energy. Because yes it is expensive to do but it is also hella expensive to constantly shut down the economy when your city turns into a sandstorm from Dune. Except this time Timothy Shalama isn't there to

make you feel better with that smile. And you might be like, well Trevor, why don't they just start carpooling in India? My man, they're way ahead of you and it's still not enough. It's actually a real rough spot for India because as a nation, you want to keep modernizing. You want to keep growing. But then the fallout of those effects make it so that you can't even enjoy the fruits. You know, it's almost like someone who gets really into CrossFit to help them attract women. But then, they push everyone away because they can't stop talking about the fact that they joined Crossfit. Now, those ads are useless.

And you wouldn't be able to tell this from the story, but New Delhi is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I mean, this looking like it's stuck on a permanent sepia filter. All right, but let's move on to our final international story. And like most things in the world, this story was made in China. The royalty of professional tennis, expressing concern about the welfare of one of their own. Honestly, it's shocking, you know, that she's missing. A Chinese tennis, hasn't been seen or heard from in weeks. In early November, Peng published this bombshell post on her Chinese social media account.

An open letter to a former top communist leader named Jiang Gowli, now aged 75, who Pung accuses of sexually assaulting her after the two had an affair. Shortly after the controversial post, Pung's online profile more or less disappeared. Until recently, Penchshue was one of the biggest tennis stars in China. But look what happens when you try to search for people with her name in the Chinese Internet. You get the message, no results found. Censors have all but scrubbed this woman from the Chinese internet.

Now today, a new twist, with Chinese state media releasing this email purportedly written by Pong to the head of the Women's Tennis Association. It completely disavows the previous allegations of sexual assault, adding, I'm not missing, nor am I unsafe, and I hope Chinese tennis will become better and better. Yo, this is really disturbing. Someone speaks out about sexual assault, and then China's government just makes them disappear. And then what's even worse is that they released some bullshit email pretending like everything is fine. Because come on, people. That email from the tennis store was as legit as the letters I got from my supermodel girlfriend in fifth grade.

She's coming next year, guys, I swear. This is what makes China so terrifying. Like if you're on their good side, well, things are great. But if you try to tell the truth about how China is a country that constantly... Trevor Noah to do the-diazia, we to he to the to the to thee. What the hell was that? I'm not even in China! Look man, it's one thing for your government to come after you. It's another thing for them to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to for them to just make you never exist. I mean, they scrubbed the internet of anything about this tennis player. Do you know how hard it is to get stuff off of the internet? Only China can do that. In fact, if you have embarrassing pictures online or problematic tweets, just move to China and talk shit about the Communist Party.

Yeah, they'll clean up your reputation in no time. I mean yeah you'll be locked in the basement somewhere but hey at least you didn't get canceled. And this also really puts into perspective when people in America complain about being censored by big tech. Oh Twitter took down my tweet. This is a tyranny! Guys Peng Shui literally does not exist on the internet anymore. Like yeah maybe Trump can't tweet right now but you can still Google him. Trust me, just yesterday, I searched for Donald Trump big buck photos. I got 80 million hits. And no, I'm not going to tell you why I googled that. I like big butts and I cannot lie.

All right, that's all the time we have for international news. When we come back, we'll tell you how you can survive joining me on the show. You don't want to miss it.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. But with the price of groceries these days, a big dinner could be more expensive than buying yeas for your Lamborghini. Fortunately, Desilightek has come up with some tips for celebrating Thanksgiving on a budget. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. They say that this year is going to be the most expensive Thanksgiving ever. Inflation is hitting everything, groceries, cookware, decorative goads, even the really ugly, bumpy ones. I know I'm tightening my belt this year, but don't worry. You can

still have an amazing Thanksgiving without breaking the bank. Let's start with the turkey. This year, turkey prices are almost double what they were a few years ago, but there are still deals out there if you know how to shop smart. For instance, did you know that you could get factory reject turkeys at Butterball Outlet Stores nationwide? This one only costs $10. And it has three necks, so there's even more to go around. You can also check Craigslist for some perfectly good, gently used turkeys. Now why should this go to a landfill just because one

person already owned it? But if your turkey budget is zero, here's a great hack. You just trace your hand. Now we're going to want to do a little beak and some googly eyes. Voila! How cute is this little turkey! Now you're gonna want to drench this bad boy in olive oil. No one likes a dry turkey. We're gonna want to roast this at 400 degrees for about one hour. Of course, you can't have turkey without stuffing, but you don't need to take out a second mortgage or start and only fans to pay for all the ingredients that you need.

Most of us have perfectly good stuffing already right inside our kids' teddy bears. I'm just going to want to get in there. Just going to want to take the stuffing, scoop it out, just shove it in that bird, get it in there, roast it. It's going to soak up all those flavors and really help the turkey keep its shape. And the best stuffing is right in the face. There we go. But let's talk side dishes because this is where the dollars can really start adding up. One of my favorites is mashed potatoes. They're delicious, and I have a simple trick for making a little go a long way.

So you just make one mashed potato, chew it up. Mmm. Mmm. Spit it back out. And then you want to just pass it around the table for everyone to enjoy. They're mashed anyway, so it will not affect the texture or flavor at all. What about drinks? Most of the grownups at the table are probably going to want a nice glass of wine, especially when Uncle Steve starts talking about Q&O and that can get expensive

fast. But fortunately, you can get the same pleasant buzz at a fraction of the price with paint thinner. I'm detecting notes of my garage and just a hint of the previous owners of my house who left this behind when they moved. This just a hint of the previous owners of my house who left this behind when they moved. This also pairs well with the hallucinations. Now, to the most important part of the meal, dessert.

Pumpkin pie can get expensive, whether you're making it from scratch, buying it from the store, or buying it from the store and saying you made it from scratch, then carrying the shame and guilt of that lie for the rest of your life. But why spend money when we already have so much pumpkin spice stuff around the house? Like this scented candle I got from my secret Santa three years ago. It's an absolute garbage gift, but wait until you taste it in a dessert. Just cook it at, I don't know, 200, 500. Honestly, it doesn't even make a difference, because as you can see, it comes out perfect every time. Mmm. Mmm.

And for all of you thinking about holiday weight gain, wax is not digestible, so no worries there. It comes out the same as it goes in. Am I a journey? Am I a church? Finally, if you really want to save money on Thanksgiving, just remember the original spirit of the holiday and do what the pilgrims did. Steel. They stole food, land, even valuables from Native American graves.

So why not take a page from history and steal whatever you need? Hey, with Christmas around the corner, go ahead and steal whatever you want for that too. Look, I'm Santa. Ho ho ho! Oh, my paper turkey's ready. Hmm. Yum! Oh, shit. Shit. Gotta get this out of there.

Evacue! Evacue! threat! Evacue! All right, when we come back, the one and only Halliburie will be joining me in the studio. So don't go away. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

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 Daily Show. My guest tonight is Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe winning actor, Hallie Berry. She's here to talk about making her directorial debut in the new film, bruised. Pooh. Hally Barry. It was rough. It looked rough.

It looked extremely rough. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. I'm so happy to have you here, but I'm not going to lie. I was genuinely surprised in like such a fun way watching this movie because I've seen you kick ass in a lot of films, all right? I've seen you act your heart out in so many films. But I don't know why, for me, for me, this movie felt like a culmination

of everything coming together. You know, it was Halliburie, the actress, it was Halliburie, you know, feeling pain, showing moments of joy. It felt like it was a culmination of a lot of just you as a human being. Congratulations on your directorial debut. What was that like? Thank you. Wow. It's funny you said that. to be that way, too.

And being at the helm and being in charge, I could put all of you know, not only my strengths, but to the tranks of all the characters. I can only imagine. All the actors, so, yes. This story has such a fascinating beginning. This was a story that wasn't originally written for you.

This you saw the story and you said, I think there's a different way to tell this story. Yeah, and you know, the idea came because I desperately wanted to play this character. I love the fight game. I've been a boxing fan since I was a kid.

I was now when I got this script, an avid MMA fan, especially of all the women in the sport. So when I read it, I thought this is this is this is this is is is is is is this is is this is th is thi is thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was the kind kind kind the kind thi, I've thi, I've the kind kind the kind kind kinded the kinded the kinded the kinded the kinded the kinded the kinded the kinded the kind kinded the kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kinded, I was the kinded, I'm the kinded, I'm the kinded, I'm the kinded, I'm th. I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've theeat, I've theat, I've, I've, I've th. I've thea. I've thea', I've theat thi. I've the kinded, Iy, it's juicy. I get to use all of my physicality, except it wasn't written for someone like me. So that was the impetus for reimagining it. And I told my agents, if Blake decides not to do this, can you please let me get to the producers and give them my pitch on how and why I think a reimagining would be in order. And for me I felt like I I I I I I I I I I th th, I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi, I thi, I thin, I thin, I thin, I think, I think, I thin-a, I thin-a think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I thin-a thin-a the is the, I thin, I th, I th, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I the, I the is thin, the is thin, the is the is thin, the is the is the is thin, know, Times Up and Me Too, and where we as black women and black people are arriving to, it's time that we get a chance to tell our stories, from our own point of view through our lens. And so I said, if we're going to remake a fight movie, they've been made by the great, some of the best movies, rocky and Fight Club and a million dollar baby. If we're going to redo it, the only reason to do it is to have a fresh new point of view,

something we've never seen. We've never seen it, a black female fighter, especially from a black female director. Definitely. Right? So it was new. There was a reason to do it. Yeah, and you know what it also feels like it comments on so many ofs, you know, so as a fan of UFC, I'm sure you know, you know, what it feels like on the inside. You know, I've talked to some of the female fighters in the UFC where they go, man, we feel like we have to be so much more brutal to get acknowledged. We have to feel like we have to fight so much harder to just maintain our spot in

the octagon. And they do get the the the the the the the the th, th, th, th, th, to th, th, th, thu, thu, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thrown, throwne, to to to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the, the, th it's no different in Hollywood. You know, is that a woman in Hollywood, especially a black woman in Hollywood, you have to fight so much harder to be recognized. You have to be, you know, I mean, everyone would think, Hallie Berry wins the Oscar, and it's like, this is it. It seems like, oh, this is going to be the you want to do in the industry. True. One of the big misconceptions was that when I won that Oscar, that somehow the script truck just backed up to the truck door. Like no truck came, my fight didn't really get any easier.

I still had to face that I was a black woman in an industry, and there was no real way for me that had been paved. I had to figure that out that out that out that out that out that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that tha th figure that out for myself. And as with fighting, Shannon Neb, who runs Invictive, you know, the all-female league, she told me that having her female fighters, when she went to a venue, she would have to pay to come to the venue, where with the male fighters, they would pay them.

So it is indelibly harder for women across the board. And especially in the way, in, in, in, in, in, th, thin, to, to, to, to, to, th, to, th, to, thin, thin, thin, thi, thin, thin, thin, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, thin, too, too, too, too, their, their, their, their, their, their, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to, to, tho, thi..... thi. the the the the the the the thin, the the the thin, the the thin, the thin, the the tthe, together, too, their, too, their, their, their, tooomoomorrow, too, their, their, their, tho, the movie was, it's brutal is the best way to put it. And it's brutal in the way that life is brutal, is the way I see it. And I couldn't help wondering, as Hallie Berry, the actress, have you often felt like, man, you're always fighting to keep your career where you wanted to be, as opposed to letting people decide when and where you're done? Because you come from a generation where, let's be honest, they would go you 40 and it's over for you. So many actresses talk about that, 40 and done, and now it seems like the fight is working and changing that perspective. Yeah, theoretically I should have been done a decade ago. Damn.

But I do feel that, and as a woman, I do feel like that. I have to keep fighting and keep actually feel that there's more left for me to do. I'm still inspired by this craft. I still love what I do. I want to keep challenging myself and keep growing. I want to see how long I could stay in this physical shape and do these kinds of movies. Right, right.

You know, that's the joy of it, but I want to try new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new newto take new risks. How long can you stay in this physical shape? You broke how many ribs doing this movie? Two. Two ribs are broken in this movie. I remember distinctly because I'm a big fan. John Wick, you broke ribs as well. Three ribs. Three on that. So I'm getting better.

I mean, I guess. It's still five ribs. It's still five ribs. It's a. It's, the ribs. It's, the same. It's, the same. It's, the same. It's, t. It's, t. It's, t. It's, t. It's, t. It's, t. It's, t. It's, t. It's, tops. It's, the same. It's, t. It's still, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, t. It's, t. It's, t. It's, tri. I. It's, because. It's, because. I. It's, tribea. I. It's, to. It's a. It's a to. It's a to. It's, together. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. But here's the thing that I would like people to know. It's not just, oh, Halle Berry always gets hurt. When you are a performer that does your own stunts, that's par for the course. Every stuntman, stuntwoman, usually on every film gets hurt in some way. We don't hear about it because they don't talk about it and the public doesn't really care. That's their job. That's their job job. their job. That's their job. their job. That's their job. their job. their. their. their. their. their. their. Oh, their, their, their, their, their, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. th. th. thi. 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. 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 because most performers don't do their own stunts. So they don't get hurt. So I sort of get this bad rap of always getting hurt, always getting hurt, but I always demand to do my own stunts. I always face that challenge.

In this film, it wasn't just doing your own stunts. I mean, with John Wick, they posed production. This film was a smaller independent film. thapapapapapapapapape. directing it and you decide I've broken the ribs I'm gonna keep fighting in in the movie I mean I can barely carry on if I've like stubbed a toe I'll be like let's pause production for a while guys let's let's show. But you're a man that is true that is true I have bigger toes that's what you're saying more toes women have higher tolerance for paint yes that's why is very true. But I think of it as like, man, Halliburie is a badass. I go like, you're breaking ribs. You know, you're in these fight scenes, you're doing these things. Like, you had to learn how to fight again for this. You learned martial arts for

X-men, right? A little bit more for a cat. I learned cat. Yes. Capuera. Yes. the tapuera. Yes. Yes. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. You th. You th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're they-I thea-like thea-like 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. You you you you you you you you're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're th. You're thea. You're in thea. You're in thea. You're thea. You're thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. You're in th, I learned that because that was all a part of bringing that cat. It was low to the ground. It was sinewy. Okay. What else? What other martial arts? I did boxing and kick boxing. But for this, like the jiu-jitsu, the judo, the wrestling, why would you do this? So, because it's so fun. It's also so fun. And I was a gymnast as a kid.

I didn't know this. Yeah, I was supposed to be Simone Biles, but Simone became Simone. Not me. That was my dream to go to the Olympics and win a gold medal. Oh, you never know, you never, that could be the oldest woman to to to to to to to to to to to to to be. to be. to be. tho. to be. tho. tho. tho. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thi. thi. And, toeeea. And, toea. And, toea. And, toea. And, too. And, thii. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, Simone Biles. Just bring the whole story together. Maybe. You know what I'm saying? I could be the oldest woman to win a gold medal. Anything can happen in this day and age. Your story is one that you're continuing to write.

What did you love about directing that was different? Because you've been on this side of the camera? I think what I loved most was that I got to have this idea in my head, and I got to shape it and form it and reshape it and reform it, and I got to sort of bring to the screen pretty much exactly what I had in my head. And I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do that because we had such a low budget. And while my days kept getting cut and I kept losing money left and right, it's hard in the independent world. What I loved was that as a black woman,

I got a story out of my body that was true to my gaze, that was true to my community, it was true to my race, to my sex, that all of it felt like an amalgamation of all allthe three years that I worked on this. I got to tell a true point of view about a sport from a female point of view. And had I not been myself, I don't know if that would have happened because I loved the sport and I also loved the drama of it at the same time.

So I tried to put equal emphasis on both elements. Well, I'll tell you this. I think you had a lot of fun making it. It's a lot of fun watching it. And thank you so much for joining me on the show.
