You're listening to Comedy Central. Coming to you from New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Show. Tonight, hanging out with Mike Penn, the world's oldest young people, and Deny Guerrero. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. What's going on, everybody. Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out in person. Thank you for coming, thank you for coming, everybody.

We've got a great show of you tonight. Take a seat. Let's get into this. America denies the election deniers. Lewis Black exposes young people who are secretly old and if you don't like crowds, well, you might be living on the wrong planet. So let's do this people let's jump straight into today's headlines. All right before we get into the big stories let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. Starting with Taylor Swift. This morning tickets went on sale for the

singer's first tour in four years and so many fans rushed onto the ticketmaster site that it immediately crashed. I mean no one can get tickets. And yeah, Ticketmaster did Taylor Swift so wrong. She's already put out three albums about them. They're gonna learn their lesson. And yeah, Ticketmaster did Taylor Swift so wrong, she's already put out three albums about them. They're going to learn their lesson. And look, I know everyone thinks getting these tickets is the most important thing in the world, but it's really not. All right?

If you don't get them, just relax. Log off, you know, just give the site like a chance to cool down and repair itself. And then, you know, don't bother. And you just chill. All right, I got mine. You can go back on. You can go back on.

You do whatever you want. In Labor News, Amazon is reportedly planning to lay off up to 10,000 employees this week. Yeah, the largest job cuts, to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the their their their their their their their thi. their thi. the largest job. thi. thi. And, thi, thi, and you thi, and you thi, and you thi, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th. And, thi, their, thi, their, their, their their their their the thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, the thi.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. th.a.a.a. th. th. th.a. And, you tha. And, you tha. And, you tha. And, you off up to 10,000 employees this week. Yeah, the largest job cuts in the company's history. And I don't even know how this is possible. All right, me and everyone I know buys something on Amazon every day and then returns up the next day when we realize we didn't actually need it anymore. How are they not making money? And I feel for all the Amazon workers who are getting laid off.

But the silver lining is, at least you can steal great shit on the way out. Yeah, no, at most offices you can only take what, like a stapler? But if you get fired from Amazon, you've got like seven air friars. Just walking out of the warehouse like, my prime day came early! Oh, in international news, Europe is on high alert tonight, after Russian missiles aimed at Ukraine hit Poland instead. Yeah, which apparently could trigger a full NATO response. And honestly, like, why do these World Wars always got to start in Poland?

It's like the Waffle House parking lot of Europe. And look, I don't do these World Wars always got to start in Poland? It's like the Waffle House parking lot of Europe. And look, I don't want to scare anyone. I don't want to scare anyone. But this could be the beginning of World War III. I don't want to scare you, though. I'm not saying it will be, it could be. So remember, this is a good time to just, like, spend time with to to to to to to to to to to to their to their their time their their their their, spend time with your family, you know? Put down your phones. And just spend some, four more tickets, yes, suckers.

I'm going to be the front row by myself. All right, let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day. Starting with the latest on the midterms, which yes, the votes are somehow still being counted. I think election officials are like using their finger. I don't know. The point is we need to be patient. But it's becoming increasingly clear that the American people, or at least the half of them who actually voted, have delivered a split decision with Democrats taking the Senate and Republicans, all but certain to win control of the house, which means that in order for America to succeed Democrats and Republicans will have to work together. So America will not succeed.

And you know, it's kind of a weird situation for America to be in. You know, having a split Congress is like being raised by two parents who don't see eye to eye on anything. Yeah, like one parent wants you to take ballet lessons, and the other parent thinks ballet lessons are a communist plot to turn you trans. And neither parent wants you to ask questions about who killed Jeffrey Epstein. But the midterms weren't just about who runs D.C. It turns out they were also about who runs the states. And in Arizona, a closely watched governor's race has finally been called. This morning, another major symbolic defeat for former President Donald Trump in the midterms. Democrat Katie Hobbs narrowly beating Republican Kerry Lake for Arizona governor. Lake had been one of Mr. Trump's most prominent allies in the midterms, and one of the staunchest supporters of his false claims denying the results of the 2020 election. Lake continuing to question her own race's results last night, tweeting

Arizonans no BS when they see it. Yes, apparently they do. They do. They do. But I guess in the least surprising plot twist ever, a woman who ran on a platform of denying election results is now denying her election results. And in a way, I bet she's relieved that she lost. Because if she won, then what? She would have had to deny herself? It would have shattered her reality. It would be like, TLC meeting a scrub and scrub and liking him what it turns out a scrub is a guy who can get love from me what you know what I'm gonna go chase some waterfalls anyway this

this is a lot for Carrie Lake so please please please let's give her some space as she goes through the five stages of Republican grief. Denial, denial, denial, pooping in Nancy Pelosi's office and denial. But remember, remember, the reason this result has big implications is because with Carrie Lake's loss, rather, every election denier running for governor or secretary of state in a swing state has now lost their races, which is huge for democracy. A huge victory.

You know? This is just like in those horror films where they kill the monster and then he never comes back again. You did it, Democrats! Now leave the knife on the counter and go take a sexy shower upstairs. Yeah. Yeah, or or, or or, or the the the the or, or the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th or th or the thor or the thor. tho, or tho, or tho, or their or tho, or thoing or thoing or thi or their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, or their, or their, or the their, or the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. thi, or thi, or thi, or thi, or thi, or thi. thi. thi. Wea, theeean.eananananananananananananananeananeaneananeananean. thean.ean. thean. thean. the. then he never comes back again. You did it, Democrats! Now leave the knife on the counter and go take a sexy shower upstairs, yeah. But enough about the midterms, enough about that. The campaign is over, and it's time for the parties to govern. I'm shitting you. It's not going to happen. It's actually time for the parties to campaign, campaign to campaign. It never ends.

It's like seeing someone who's only interested in foreplay. You like that? You ready? Yeah, well, let's put your clothes back on and start again. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, what's your name? Oh, yeah, let's do that again. Anyway, as everyone prepares themselves for what their, their, their, their, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 is. their is. to be to be to be their 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 be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their. their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their their their their their the thoooooooooooooooan that will be different this time. And that is one of Trump's biggest ass-lickers is going to be leaving his ass very dry. Nearly two years after a mob of Donald

Trump's supporters attacked the Capitol, disrupting the transfer of power, and chanting Hang Mike Pence. Trump's once loyal vice president is finally telling his story about what happened that day. The president's th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is thususususususus th is thusus the the thusus the thus thus the thus thus thus thus thus thus thus tre tre thi. And their theck. And thiau- thiau- thi. And th. And thi. And th. And th. And th. And 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 t. te. te. te. te. treea. trueea. trueeau. tea. tea. tea. te. telling his story about what happened that day. The president's words were reckless. His actions were reckless. The president's words that day, at the rally, endangered me and my family and everyone at the Capitol building.

Given all that you witnessed in the Capitol on that day, this is a pretty straightforward question, a yes or no, do you believe that Donald Trump should ever be president again? David, I think that's up to the American people. But I think we'll have better choices in the future. Hell yeah! Good for Mike Pence, telling Donald Trump, you almost got me and my family killed, which is why I'm now prepared to say that it's possible there are better alternatives to you in the next election, although that decision will be up to the American people. You tell him, Mike Pence, ooh, you tell him.

Who? For real, though, man, it's a simple question. Do you support Trump or not? I can't believe Mike Pence is the one leaving us hanging. And I know why he's doing this, right? I know why he's doing it. He doesn't want to go too hard against Trump, because he's still hoping to win over Trump's voters if he runs for president, which is so delusional. Trump's people were the ones who wanted to kill him.

The only reason they would elect him president is so that they know for sure where he lived. Why would they vote for you? And even if that strategy works, it still makes him a punk-ass bitch. It does. I'm sorry, but this, this is not the type of man you want leading the United States. All right? Well, you can't even say the thing out loud.

If Pence was present, forget China. Canada would be invading. Yeah. Just be like, oh, sorry, sorry. We're going to take Oregon, eh? Oh, it just seems so easy. But let's move on to some international news right now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now now to some international to some international to some international to some international to some international to some international news to some international news to some international news to some international news to some international news. to some to some to some international news right now. If you're going through a breakup, your friends might be telling you that there are lots of people out there, and they're right. In fact, they're more right today than ever before.

Ewan says there'll be a new milestone in human development, as the world population is expected to hit 8 billion today. The agency adds that this unprecedented growth is due to improvements in public health, medicine and high levels of fertility in some countries. This is staggering when you consider that 100 years ago, according to the UN, the global population was 2 billion or under. Now it's 8 billion. Hell yeah, 8 billion people everybody, 8 billion people on earth. I didn't need the UN to tell me this. I could already tell there were 8 billion people everybody, eight billion people on earth. I didn't need the UN to tell me this. I could already tell there were eight billion people because every single one of them was

ahead of me for Taylor Swift tickets in line. And I'm proud. I am proud of all of us people. Because say what you want about the human race. But one thing is for sure, we're f-feeking. Yeah. Congratulations to everyone for smashing. And yes, some people are working harder than others, but the rest of us deserve some credit too. Although, I kind of wish that the UN didn't even announce this, you know, because it feels like bragging, you know?

Yeah, like I feel like COVID is going to see that we hit a new population milestone and be like, well I saw them hit eight billion, I took that personal. I saw that. I was like, I might come back. And by the way, I get now why the United Nations never actually does anything. Yeah, people are like, can you maybe stop the war in Ukraine? And they're like, sorry, we're kind of busy. Seven billion, two hundred million and one. Seven billion, two million and two, seven billion.

And a lot of people, a lot of people are worried that eight billion people is too much, and that we need some way to control overpopulation. Although I find it interesting that that that thiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 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, th, th, th, the the the th, the th, the th, th, the the th, the the the the the the the the the th, their, their, they, they, they, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoooooooooooooooooooooooo.. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, it interesting that those people never think of themselves as part of the problem. There's always people who are like, Earth is too crowded, we've got to get rid of some of these people. You're like, how about you? Your people? No, not me.

I meant like China or something. Come on. What are you talking about? And honestly, I don't think it's a myth we just do a better job of distributing its resources, right? But, but, but if we are going to reduce the population, I think the smartest way to do it is just to get rid of identical twins. No, because it's a waste. It's a complete waste, right? We already have one of you. Yeah, it's like having two copies of the same picture on your phone. Just delete one, easy. And please, wait, don't, don't twist my words, don't get it twisted. I don't want to hear identical twins being like,

oh, Trevor, are you saying you're going to kill my brother? No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying you have to. I'm thi. I'm saying to say, I'm saying, I'm saying, I to say, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I to say to say to say to say to say to say to, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm to say to say, I'm to say, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm not to say, I'm not saying, I'm not saying, I'm not saying, I'm saying, I'm not saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying, to say, to saying you to to say, you to to to to to say, you to say, you to say, you to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to you have to. All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go to a break, let's time, let's check in on the weather with the one and only, Desi Lydic everybody. Daisy Lydic, everybody! Daisy's good to have you back. Seasons are changing, so, what's the weather looking like? I don't know, Trevor. It's cold.

It's cold outside. It's cold in here. You can't escape it. Although your nipples are trying to, I can see them through your shirt. Desi, why would you tell the people that? You know why? You know why, Trevor? Because it's the thape, th if there's one thing that we learn from the midterms, it's the power of telling the truth.

The candidates who lied about the election, they lost. And the ones who told the truth, won. So from now on, I am addicted to telling the truth. And also shoplifting, which I needed to say because I'm now telling the truth. No, I feel like I shouldn't be wearing that watch that you got me for my birthday. Oh, no, no, don't worry. I didn't shoplift that. I found it in Ronnie's dressing room. Here's another truth. Katie Hobbs' victory wasn't just a win for truth. It was a win for women. Now there are a record 12 women governors serving at the same time.

Twelve. That's amazing. Twelve. Out of fifty. That's almost half of half. And only one of them almost got kidnapped last year. We're doing it ladies. Yeah. Yeah, you know, hopefully what happened in Arizona leads to more politicians telling the truth. Yeah, exactly. I mean, we even saw Mike Pence coming around to the truth today. I mean, he won't admit that his body is 70% manage yet, but he did come out and say that he doesn't like when people try to hang him. So brave of him to speak his truth while promoting a book.

You know? This just goes to show that people need to stand up to their bullies and tell them the truth. Speaking of which, Trevor, you got anything you want to say to me, a little bitch? No, no. ma'am. Huh? No? No?

No. No. My underwear still torn, no. That's what I f-hawed thought. Look, um, um, I laugh at you! I'm sorry. Look, I just want to say, as long as we're telling the truth, I'm going to tell one of the hardest truths of all, right here, on the air tonight, in front of 8 billion people.

I assume they all watch. Trevor, I don't know how to do the weather. I don't. I really don't. Thank you. They get it. Thank you. I don't know what a low pressure system is. I don't know how tornadoes work. What even is a wind chill? Does it make us cold or is it the wind that's cold? I don't know. Well, as long as we're all telling truths, Desi, we all knew you couldn't do the weather. What'd you say to me, bitch?

Nothing, nothing. Dessie Liding, everyone. Thank you for the weather, Desi. Thank you so much. I appreciate you so much. All right, when we come back, Lewis Black is going to the Daily Show. When a new story falls through the cracks, Lewis Black catches it for a segment we call Back in Black. As a man in the entertainment industry, I do everything I can to cling to youth, like a 60-year-old Tom Cruise clinging to the side of a helicopter.

And don't tell the casting people at Euphoria that I'm not actually in my early 20s. I'm up for a juicy role as Zendez little brother who wish me luck. But lately I've been noticing a new trend. Young people are starting to act like older people. It's subtle but once you notice it you start seeing it everywhere especially if you're at dinner at 4 p.m. It's the early bird special for young folks. The elderly have long been the butt of jokes about early bird dining. But now a younger generation is embracing the early bird special.

The busier times used to start at 8 p.m. But nowadays it definitely starts on the earlier side. A pizza joint in lower Manhattan is also booking tables earlier and earlier. Just look at all these early bird reservations. With so many people working from home during the pandemic, employees are eager to get out of their homes as soon as the work day ends, which is definitely contributing to the shift. Are you shitting me? Young people stealing all the early bird reservations?

Seniors need those spots. They have to be in bed by 7.30 or else all their organs slide into their ankles. This has to end though. Old people eating early is part of the social contract. Old people get the early restaurant spots. And in exchange, young people get to not watch old people eat. It's about privacy. Old people don't walk into your bedroom and watch you have energetic, robust sex. They watch through the window because they respect boundaries. And it's one

thing for young people to claim seniors restaurant reservations, but now they're claiming something even more sacred. The discounts. One surprising trend now among young people signing up for benefits from the AARP. The Wall Street Journal finding 20-somethings as new card carriers in an effort to snag discount submit inflation, showing it's not just for the 50 and older crowd. In my head it was always something for senior citizens. 28-year-old Marissa Schwartz says she learned a lot about AARP benefits through

tick-talk and couldn't help but join in on the savings. Contrary to popular belief, you can be any age to join AARP. And the benefits are awesome. Back the fuck off! Old people earn those A-A-R-P memberships. Those A-A-R-P memberships fair and square by not dying. And a bad economy is no excuse. Did I horn in on a senior citizen discount to get me through the Great Depression?

No! Because I wasn't alive during the Great Depression, you assholes! How old do you think I am? You're going to blow my shot at euphoria! I just hope these underage AARP members don't find out the secret perks of the card. I don't want to brag, but I can shoplift as much as I want. And if I get caught, I flash this, and they assume I'm just senile and let me go. Ha ha ha ha!

You thought I was a deranged man, but now I've got a free giant bag of bird seed, suckers. I don't even have a bird! bag of bird seed, suckers. I don't even have a bird. All that seed is for me. Who's the derange man now? But I get it. I get it.

It's fun to eat early and get discounts on catheters. But there's one aspect of elder culture that the youth might want to avoid getting scammed. From TikTok to Instagram, teens are being victimized on everyday apps. In fact, a new study finds some tech-savvy genziers are falling for online scams at a higher rate than their grandparents. A study from social catfish shows the top scams targeting teens are sex-stortion plots against boys. The FBI says scammers poses attractive women on social media and send nude

photos to the victim, demanding they do the same and send them money. Talent Scout scams are on the rise too. Users on Instagram tc. th DMs offering modeling and acting opportunities. Scammers then ask for a fee to apply, but of course there's no talent job inside. Another common scam is student loan forgiveness. Scammers are creating fake student loan websites, tricking people into providing their bank info. Ha ha ha ha ha! Who's bad in technology now, you pimply little fucks? But look, it's a guy who was only recently a teen boy, a wink, I sympathize. If I had Tick-Tock in my youth, my brain would also be a gullible bowl of horny barrage. But still, I'm worried

about where this acting older trend could go. I mean, what's next? Stealing all the best rooms at the retirement community? Overcrowded bingo halls? Quitting your steady job behind a desk before you're even 40? Can you even imagine something doing something that crazy Trevor? Anyway, here's something I came up with that will help the kids from getting screwed. Take a look. Hi, I'm Louis Black. Are you an overconfident Gen Zier who thinks you're immune from getting took? Then you need Lewis Flack's scam seeker?

Oh, that's obviously a scam. Look at her. Now look at you. Not happening. You know, dangers everywhere online. And nobody's told you that life sucks. Good things don't just fall into your lap and nothing ever works out for the best. This site will forgive my student loans if I th. S, th.

This site will forgive my student loans if I just fill out my social security number.

Scam! You'll be paying those loans off until death! Read a newspaper! What's a newspaper? Look, today's youth need a reality check. Years and self-esteem building is resulting in dangerous levels of gullibility. Wow, for 50 bucks I I can audition for Riverdale. That's a scam. Okay, you got no talent, you got no charisma. You're a hack.

Thanks, Lewis? Shut up! So, sign up for Lewis Flax Scam Seeker today. Sounds lit. So, do I just give you my credit card? You can try take that card. You can trust me and so can you. You'll be trying to. Miller's Black everybody, alright, thank you.

When we come back, the baddest things out in Wakana, Den I'm gonna be joining on the show. You don't want to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an award-winning actor and Tony nominated playwright who is currently starring in Black Panther Wakanda Forever. Please welcome, Deny the today's told to Black Panther Wakanda Forever. Please welcome, Den Guerrira! Thank you. Thank you. Danai Guerrero, welcome back to the Daily Show. Thank you, it's amazing to be back.

It is amazing to have you here, especially on the heels of yet again, one of the most successful films to come out. The last I checked, Black Panther had grossed, I think it was like 330 or 40 million. Everybody is loving the movie. People are loving you in the movie. I just watched it a few days ago. And I know I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi I thi I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tooooooooooooooooooooooooo. It's, ta. It's, thi. It's, thi, thi, thi, the movie. People are loving you in the movie. I just watched it a few days ago, and I know I'm biased because you're sitting here with me, but I think you had some of the funniest

the biggest, like amazing fight scenes and choreography. How does it feel? Because this was such a long project. There were so many ups and downs. There was a pandemic. There was the unfortunate loss of Chadwick. Everything came came came came came came came came came came came came together came together came together came came together came together came together came together came together came together together together together together together together together to to their to their their tooom, there was the unfortunate loss of Chadwick. Everything came together to create this moment. Have you taken a moment to process at all?

Thank you. Not yet. Not yet. I'm getting there. But, you know, it has been an amazing journey and a tremendous one and a painful one and an intense one, you know, starting from the beginning when we, you know, tragically lost our brother and our king, our leader with Chadwick. So really coming back was all about honoring him. So really it was like, as Ryan always mentions, a line my character says, which is, you know, I gave everything. Like, that basically we came back with that,

like it was just about giving all we had to this, and honoring him. And so to have it, to have it, to have it, to have it, to have it, to have it, to have it, to have it, to have it, to have it, to have to have to have to have to have to have to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a, to have a. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the....... the the 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 th. thi. thi. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, the so to have it come to a place where people are enjoying it this much and and responding to it this well, I mean it just it just feels it feels very full circle in the sense that the goal was to honor him and the way Ryan beautifully arced it to be something that honor him, which involves I think something that I think he would love which is that it is a full experience as well as we walk through our grief with it. It is. it is it is it is it is it is it is it is it is it is it is it is it is really really really really really really really really really really. It is it is. It is. It is really really really really really. It is. It is. It is really really really really really. It is. It is really really really really. It is. It is really really really really really to to to to th. I th. I to to to to to to to to to to th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

As we walk through our grief with it as the time. It really is. I noticed people crying in the cinema.

Obviously, people were cheering, people were laughing, but it reminded you of what you want movies to be, you know, an experience. And it was an authentic experience. I enjoyed seeing how both the audience, and then I felt like the cast had an experience of catharsis, that everyone got to say goodbye in a different way, everyone got to go through that. You know, when you look at this journey and where it's come, look at how Black Panther

has reshaped how we see superheroes. People have talked about how diversity has never been the same on screen. You know, this is the first woman, lead film that Marvel has ever put out and it's crushing it, people are loving it. It's huge, it's momentous. Yeah, I mean that just means so much to hear because I mean it is really something I grew up. You know, the other big thing is that it's also African. Yeah. And like I grew up next door to you in Zimbabwe and I hope it's not too painful to the ear or close up. But you know we're we're we're we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, oh, oh, oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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'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, 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 huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's huge, it's it. No, I appreciate, I think I always laugh with Ryan Kugler as the director. I say like, you chose one of the hardest languages to just like, cause I, it's like, first of all, it's an African language,

but it's like, what if we added clicks into it as well. I know, and I think the cost does really well, the cost does the cost does the cost does the cost does the cost does the cost does really well the cost does really well the cost does really well, not the cost does really well, not the cost does really well, not, not, not, the cost does really well, not, the cost does the cost does the cost does the cost does the cost does does does does the cost does the cost does the cost does the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, not, not, not, the cost, not, not, not, not, the cost, not, not, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the cost, the. the. the cost, the, I. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. to. the, I's, I's what makes it. I'm not gonna spoil the plot for anyone. So if there's gaps, I'm doing that on purpose. But you have a movie that now isn't just talking about the African diaspora around the world. You're also in this conversation about where we've come from as peoples in South America, and central America, and it's all coming together in a in in in way. Well, the beauty of it is like that aspect

of that shared conversation that Africa could have with that part of the world, which is we were both, we both went through imperialism, we both went through colonization. We both lost, indigenous cultures lost a lot through that very, you know, wretched process. And so it's actually this reclaiming, we, we, we, we, this, this, this, this, this, this, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, thi, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, th..... th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr. thr. thri. thri. thri. toa. theea. thea. thea. thea. tha. tha. tha. tha, tha, th's actually this reclaiming that we're getting to see these two cultures mirror each other as they do that. Well Wakanda has kept it and protected it and then and so has the have so have the tile

Camille. So it's this beautiful kind of reflection on each other which I just think is kind of unprecedented and really really exciting. It true it true it really is. Your character shines. Some of my favorite lines. shines. Some of my favorite lines, genuinely in the movie, are yours. Because here's the thing, we met you as this badass on screen, kicking ass, running, you know, I always said, do you know how bad-ass you have to be, to be the bodyguards for the Black Panther? Do you know what I mean? That scene of you, in the casino, that first fight scene, where everyone was just like, who are you, and what are you and what are you doing? And your character comes back, the fight scenes are even more intense. You know, there's parts where you're fighting in the water

and then you're not, were you actually doing that by the way? Yes, I have a little bit of a torn muscle in my shoulder to prove it, but it's all good now. It's healed. Don't fret. Okay, like water fight scenes and the scene well my character yeah this the the key thing that you know this the stuff on the bridge all that stuff yeah I had to because there's no way I could it to me it's like how do I do the role if I'm not doing the role she's a warrior right and like I was

used to to the theyrown I was used get it done. So, like, I was used to just getting out there and just getting it done. Like, I, and that's, and really, cointing myself with the weapon. And we did that so hard in the first one. So in the second one, there was no exception. I had to do my fights. And yeah, it was a lot of, it's a the the work, it's a the work, it's, it's, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th..... And, th.. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, that, th. And, that, th. And, th. And, become Okoye outside of how she knows how to fight. And you have to keep doing the...

It's all a part of who she is, so it needs to be a part of who you are. Like, I had to win. That was my thing. Like, I could not win. See this is General Okoy, this is you. journey and again I won't spoil it but what we see is your on your on your character's journey is her grappling with the idea that she's not in control her grappling with the idea that she cannot protect everybody including herself her grappling with the with the idea of failure which is such a personal experience you know for anybody to share first of all but it's

also vulnerable to have is to go yeah I I am not what everybody needed me to be and you felt that pain in your character. Oh, yeah, that's what I loved about how Ryan like bifurcated the grief process in different characters. And my character, she just doesn't really take care of herself that way. So to actually, to have to get confronted with it that way was the only way she was really going to be. Because she is so, I have to have to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the to, to, the the to, the the to, the they.a, the, the the, I, the the, I.a, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to take care of everybody else. I have to make sure this, you know, she's got the country on her shoulders. I've got to keep it protected and secure. I've got to keep this family protected and secure that she feels she's a part of.

Yes. So the lines are all blurred between, you know, her job and her personal experiences of losing her brother and taking care of his family. So yeah, it is definitely that sort of that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi. thi. the the the the thi. the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their. thi. thi. theean. thean. tean. the thea. thea. theats. thean. thean. their their their, their, their, and not being able to process her pain and her grief for herself.
