You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever

you get your podcast. March 1st, 2018. From Comedy Central's World News headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome everybody. Welcome, everybody. Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you for tuning in. I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much. Take a seat, take a seat. Take a seat, take a seat.

Take a seat. Take a seat, take a seat. Take a seat. Save your applause you're going to need it because our guest tonight from Black Panther, his royal highness, King Tachala. Charlie is coming to everybody. But first, but first, it's a good thing we've got a superhero everybody you might want to duck. A stunning announcement from Vladimir Putin, an aggressive and defiant declaration of Russia's new nuclear capacity. Putin declared that Russia has, quote, a brand new weapon,

a strategic nuclear missile powered by a nuclear engine. He claimed the new weapon has unlimited range. It can invade any missile defense system, delivering a nuclear attack devastating anywhere in the world. Are you shitting me? We're still dealing with Kim Jong-un and now Putin pops out and he's like, hashtag me too. No, come on man. Come on.

And now, and now, the missile might not look scary because the video looks like something out of South Park, but, but the idea of Russia having a missile that can evade all defense systems in the world should scare the shit out of you. I mean, unlimited range? Is this a missile with Merrill Streep? What the hell, man? But let's move on. There have been a lot of new developments in the debate over guns. Yesterday, Walmart's announced it will no longer sell guns to people under the age of 21

or to dogs under the age of 3. This wasn't working out. And it's just amazing that so far, a chain store is doing more about guns than Congress is. Especially because Congress is basically a building full of Walmart greeters, you know? It's just like, hi, welcome to Walmart. I do this because my grandkids won't talk to me. Now in addition to Walmart, Dick's sporting goods also said it would do the same thing and that they won't sell assault weapons at all. Yeah. Yeah. So, so now if you want to kill someone with something from Dick's sporting goods, you'll

have to buy them football equipment and wait. But the big box stores aren't going to stop school shootings by themselves. So yesterday, President Trump invited lawmakers back to his apprentice set to discuss what can be done to stop gun violence. Now if people came in expecting Trump to side with Republicans, they were in for a big shock because Trump is unpredictable. Just when you think he's going to zigzegg, he punches you in the nuts. President Trump shocked lawmakers in a bipartisan meeting on Wednesday, calling out the NRA, calling four comprehensive gun control measures backed by Democrats.

Lawmakers are confused after President Trump seemed to buck his own party. Some of you people are petrified of the NRA. You can't be petrified. Yeah, Donald Trump attacked his own party for being scared of the NRA. I did not see that coming. Like, that was the craziest twist since the end of usual suspects. Yeah, like when we found when we found out that Kevin Spacey molested Kaiser-Souzé, that was just mind-blowing. And, and, uh, and if you thought Trump was going rogue when he attacked Republicans and the NRA, wait until you see him supporting the Democrats.

Mr. President, what do we do about weapons of war easily accessible on our streets? You go into a store and you can buy an AR-15. You can buy a Tech-9. I mean, you can buy all these weapons. Joe and Pat, you're going to have to discuss that. You'll sit down with Diane and everybody else and you'll come up with something. And I think it, I really believe it has to be very strong. Did you see that? Did you see the joy on Diane Feinstein's face when Trump tells the conservatives to put her

shit in the bill? Like she looks happier than Ted Cruz on Halloween. It's like, finally my doorbell rang. Yeah! All the Democrats, all the Democrats in this meeting were giddy. Like, look at Amy Clovershaw, when Trump shut down the Republicans concealed Kerry idea. Like, all of a sudden, she's Jim from the office. Like, are you guys seeing this? And this was pretty much how the whole discussion went. Trump supported all of the Democrats' gun control positions, right? Universal background checks, raising the minimum age to buy rifles, banning all domestic abusers from purchasing guns. Trump pushed all of their ideas.

And it was so disorienting, seeing a completely different side of Donald Trump. It's like finding out your grandma works part-time as a dominatrix. You know? Come here, it's like finding out your grandma works part-time as a dominatrix. You know? That's right, they call me the Queen of Nipple play. And just like a dominatrix, President Trump truly pushed the limits. Because at one point, Mike Pence tries to step in and say, calm down people. There will be due process before anyone's guns are taken away. And Trump was like, or... But the focus is to literally give families and give local law enforcement additional tools if an individual is reported to be a potential danger to themselves for others.

Allow due process, so no one's rights are trampled. Or might take the firearms first and then go to court. Because that's another system, because a lot of times by the time you go to court, it it it to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to to to to to to to to to to their their to to to to to to to to to 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 their their their their their their their their their their thea., thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. toe. thetake the firearms first and then go to court. Because that's another system, because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures, I like taking the guns early. You know, the police saw that he was a problem, they didn't take any guns away. Now that could have been policing. I they should have taken taken taken taken taken taken taken the the thaken the the right the right them away anyway, whether they had the right or not. Okay, uh, my mind is going to explode. Donald Trump just said, fuck your rights, I'm taking your guns.

Isn't that what he said Hillary was going to do? Yeah? Donald Trump flipped so much in this meeting. I was waiting for him to be like, the reason I sound like Hillary is because it's actually me! It was Neola! Yeah! It was just a wig and fruit roll-ups! I can't believe you fell for it! Lock me up!

Now, look, this is an extreme position by Trump. It's even more extreme than the Democrats were asking for. And I guess yesterday, some people on the left got a glimpse of why Trump's people love him so much. He wants to take action and he's not going to let anything stop him. And people on the right got a glimpse of why people are terrified of Trump on the left. He wants to take action, and he's not going to let to let the to let the the the to let the the the to let the the the to let the the the the the to let to let their their the the the the the the the the the thea thea thea the thea thea thea thea' thea the the the the the the the theaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeae the the the the the the the the the d.... the d. He wants to take action and he's not going to let anything stop him.

And like we shouldn't really be surprised that Trump is flipping on guns. Because in his heart, he's never really been a gun nut. My sons have been members of the NRA for many, many years and they're incredible. They have so many rifles and so many guns. Sometimes even I get a little bit concerned. They said, that's a lot. You see? You see, that was, that was the truth slipping out.

You see that? Yeah. Although, I mean, to be fair, I also wouldn't want my kids having guns if one of them was Eric. get guns, that guy should go through a background check before every smile. Come on now. But before you get too excited, before you got too excited for your new gun grabber in chief, just remember what happened with Dhaka not too long ago. Trump was at that same table, agreeing with Democrats on immigration, and then two days later, Africans were from shit-hole countries and the whole thing fell apart. Yeah, so basically I wouldn't be shocked if next week when Trump is talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get 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 to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the. the the. too. toe. too. toe. toe. to to to to to to to to to to the the the whole thing fell apart. So basically, I wouldn't be shocked if next week when Trump is talking about protecting schools, all of a sudden he's like, look, why do we care about these douche-bag kids anyway?

We need more kids from Norway, folks. More kids are... I didn't say douche-bag, I said, doushhouse. But at the end of the day, I think this whole meeting just proved how simple the gun issue really is at its call. Because every other issue, health care, taxes, you know, Trump has no idea what's going on. But with school shootings, he's like, guys, I think I figured it out. It might be the guns.

Guns make the bang bang. Guns make the bang bang! I get it! So we'll be right back. John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio, on sandwiches.

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is the star of the blockbuster movie, Black Panther. Please welcome Chedric Bozeman. I didn't expect you to do that. What do you mean? I didn't expect you to do that. What do you mean you didn't expect you to do that? Everywhere you go now for the rest of your life. You will be greeted like this.

You are not lying. You are the king of Wakanda, my friend, congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations. Oh gosh. I've been a fan of yours for such a long time, and I've watched you go from film to film and you've played some of the most iconic people on screen. But there is something truly truly truly truly truly truly th truly th truly th truly th truly th truly th truly the th really th really th truly th the most th. I thi thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I to thi. the most 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 the most. I the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most the most iconic. I I I I the most the most the most the most the most the most the most th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. the thin. the the thi thin. thi thi thi thi to to to to to thi. I'm to thi. I'm thi and magical about this character. Could you feel it when you were making Black Panther? I think the whole cast we knew how special this project could be.

We knew what the comic book was, we knew what the whole idea of this technologically advanced nation in Africa that you know essentially they're the oldest people on the planet. That's that that idea that it was a revolutionary one that we knew we could throw a lot of our passion into and we didn't know how people would receive it. We didn't know that it would be this sort of impact that we knew that it would be important to see a black superhero. We knew that would be interesting. We knew that, you know, once people saw what these women were, that that would impact some people, but you don't know if that's going to be a niche group of people

that love it. And you also don't know if it's going to, you know, if the studio is going to put everything they can into it. And we have to give Marvel credit and Disney credit for, you know, throwing the book at it. Essentially, it's what they did. And that's really what they did. I mean, like the marketing, worldwide, the way the story was presented, everyone on the cost. because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, and the the their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and, and, and their, 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.... the. the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the.. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the marketing worldwide, the way the story was presented, everyone on the cost. Because what made the story special was, I don't know if it was just me, it feels like Black Panther's powers come not just from his suit,

but from his people. From his tradition. Yeah, from his tribe, from the from the women around it. It didn't feel like anyone was a sidekick. felt like everyone was part of a team. Was that something that you were focusing on in the way you treated your stars? You've ever seen? Absolutely. I felt like in order for him to be a good king, you know, one of the good signs of someone who was wise is that they disseminate responsibility. Right. So I felt that his father would have taught him, you know, use everybody's skills. Don't try to do everything.

Right. You can't be everywhere at one time. So it was important for denied to be as strong as she is. It was important for Lupeta to be as strong as she is. And I felt like, you know, what we had as far as, you know, there's no real I don't think there's a villain in this movie I think you have two sides of the same coin right the killmonger story and the Tachala story you know we treated it that way Michael and I kept ourselves separate and came together at certain points so that we could create this sort of tension on scene but on in the scenes but it was it was it was a collaboration I think for everybody.

That's an interesting idea that there was no there was no villain. It was two sides of a story. I mean more than ever in America right now people feel like oh there's a villain, there's no villain. It feels like every story needs to have that but that's what made Black Panther so complicated. I won't give any spoilers away but it felt like a story where you truly did not know how you felt. You just had to work on how you felt about what the how the people were trying to do what they were trying to do. Well it doesn't let anybody off the hook. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like and I think that's that's the key thing is that I thin, like, you should be the hero on your own story. You should be, you know, you should see yourself conquering, you know, the dramatic action

of whatever you're trying to do. So when you get the crisis, you know, how to deal with it. You should be able to do that. And there are people that come in and help you with your story, but you have to be the person who deals with the conflicts that are in place. Nobody else can. There's no deuce ex-Maconah who's going to come in and save it for you. Even if you pray to God, God expects you to do some things. So I think you have to be that hero. I know that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I feel that I'm that I feel that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm thia. thia. th. thi. th. th. tho. tho. tho. thi. thi. the the the their their their their their their their 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 their their their their their their their th. thi. thi. thi. the. the. too. toda. today too. today too. today tooe. today today today today tha. tha. tha. the. the. to be that hero. I know that I felt that and I connected with so many of the characters in different ways, not just because of who they were and what they were doing, but also because of home. I was really impressed by the fact that everyone in the movie had an African accent. And what was cool was it was African accents from different places, you know, like Mbaku had a Nigerian inspired accent, you know, and Nicaia had an accent that had flare, like a bit of a bit of Kenya and there, and Tachala came out and there

was a moment in the movie while I was watching you and I was like, why does this sound like a little bit of a young Nelson Mandela? There was like a, was there like a Kosa inspiration behind the accent? Absolutely, absolutely. My, my, you know, that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was the the sound the sound the sound the sound the sound the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the, the sound, 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, that was the sound of my dialect coach. And so I wanted that sound, specifically because I felt like the clicks are an indication, like it's believed that the languages that have the clicks, they're among the oldest. Right. And so I felt, I felt like that was a great sound for this, for this particular character. And, you know, it, the point that you just brought up about, about, about, that, that, that, and so, and so, I, I, I, I, I, I, that, that, I, that, that, that, that, that, I that, that, that, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, I that sound, I that sound, I that sound, I that sound, I that sound, I that sound, I that sound, I that sound, I that sound, I was that sound, I was that sound, I was that sound, I was that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, that sound, I was that sound, I was that sound, that was a great sound for this particular character. And, you know, the point that you just brought up about each body, each person having a different sound, we felt like we were taking the continent and sort of closing it in, like compressing it and saying,

everything that we love about the continent came from here. Right, right. So you can pull from every place because there's a dispersion from this, from Waconda. saying everything that we love about the continent came from here. So you can pull from every place because there's a dispersion from this from Wakanda. So yes, she could have a king and hint in her accent. It also allows each actor to bring things that are close to them to the story. So as opposed to like some people might be like, well you can't just have this generalized Africa where people are Are picking from anything they want, but if but if it becomes from an organic truth and an organic DNA

Which is what we did then and everybody's on the same page? Then it becomes something that is real was it was a part of you worried though? that? Was it was a part of you worried though that everyone having African accents would be something that like the studio???????????? 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. thi? thi? thi? thi? 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 th. th. the th. th. th. the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi? the thi? thi. thi. thi. the. thee. the. thi. thee. the. thi. the. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. accents would be something that like the studio or even movie goers wouldn't gravitate towards? I wasn't worried. So somebody was worried. Somebody was worried. I wasn't, yeah. I wasn't worried because I had seen, you know, I'd seen John Connie doing Shakespeare, you know, I'd seen, he was my father in the film. I had seen, you know, African Zulu Macbeth, you know, I'd seen that before. So I knew, already knew it worked. I had seen that from my college years, right, that this could work. You know, other people hadn't seen that. So I knew that, that, that, that, the, that, that's, their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's, thi, thi's, 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, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. their. their. their. their. their. their. their that from my college years. Right. That this could work. You know, other people hadn't seen that.

So I knew that an African accent could carry all of that passion in the English language, you know, just as well as a British one could, if not better. And so, you know, for me, there was a, when I heard thingthings like people can't listen to that you know for an entire film if you know they were just talking about me doing it I was like no we're gonna go to a convent of one day and if in my mind I was like if I have a British accent right now what's what's gonna happen? When the rest of the nation is speaking with a British accent I'm just picturing that scene I'm just picturing that cut out of the movie right th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thatu thatu. thatu. thatu. thatu. the the the thatu. the the thu. the the the they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that. that. that. that that that that that that that that that that they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're just picturing that scene. It was the horrible. I'm just picturing that cut out of the movie right now. It's like Black Panther coming back and everyone's like, my king you have returned. He's like, well, hello there.

Yeah. Oh, hello. Good to be back. When we were debating it, I had that nightmare. I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, 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, th... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, like, I, like, I, like, like, like, I, like, I was like, no boy. The movie connected with so many people on so many levels. And one thing I really enjoyed was I got to watch the film in New York City. I got to watch the film with many different people from different walks of life. I watched how it touched many African Americans. What I also loved though was how that authenticity translated back to Africa, back to South Africa. I saw people back home who embraced the movie movie. the the the the the tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. the tha. And tha. the tha. the tha. the the th. th. th. th. the. the. tho tho tho tho tho thi. And thi. thi. thi. And tho thoe tho th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. I thea. I was, thea. I was, thea. I was, thea. I was, thea. I was the. And onee. translated back to Africa, back to South Africa.

I saw people back home who embraced the movie just as much as people did here, which is not an easy thing to do because Africans get portrayed in a certain way in film. A lot of the time I won't like, we watch movies and we're like, who are they trying to imitate right now? What part of Africa is this? But people loved it back home? People loved it in the motherland. Was that something that was important for you? Did that tou tou tou tou? I can't even put into words what that feels like because, you know, on both sides, as an African American and, you know, seeing people from the continent, I've seen a divide for my entire life. Right. You know, I've, you know, grew up and I remember hearing the term African booty scratches is an insult. I remember that.

And then I went through my face of trying to find Africa and not knowing, well, which place am I from, you know. And I've seen Africans who viewed us in a particular way where you're not connected. You don't know where you're from. And at the same time, love parts of our culture. So there's like this weird, there's been this weird dynamic. You know, I don't know the oral tradition because I didn't grow up with it, you know, if I knew exactly where I came from growing up, I would have had an oral tradition from that place. Right. 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 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. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee had an oral tradition from that place right I I never had that so this movie

in a certain way creates a story that we all share and it's the first time that's I feel like that's ever happened where where it's like okay that's our story that's our story too I think part of of that is because you have these two characters who have this collision, and they have to go through each other and find out about each other. So even in fighting, there's a sense of kinship among them, and I think it's portrayed on screen where people accept it. It's portrayed, it's welcomed, it's electric, and it's going to make billion dollars plus.

So, congratulations. It's so amazing having you all the show. Thank you for everything that's done. I appreciate you. Black Panther is in theaters now. Chad with Bozeman everyone.
