This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. You're rolling. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look

on Apple podcasts starting September 17. Happy Daylight Savings Time, everybody. Yeah, woohoo, yes. That's the worst thing America ever did. And yes, I'm remembering all the wars. Daylight Savings is horrible. My body's not made for this. ever did. And yes, I'm remembering all the wars. Daylight safety is horrible. My body's not made for this, my brain is not made for it.

Like I know I always wanted to like do time travel, but this is the shittiest version of it. It's like set your clocks. It's like it's dumb. Do you want the lights at night or do you not, do you know what we wea we we we just accept that the sun changes this position that's what we do classic America's like nah what if we could change time but you don't you just make life horrible and then I don't know which clock is correct now because some sometimes I have clocks that I've changed then there's clocks that I think don't change them but they have changed them I change them and then th now I'm the the the the th I th I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th I'm th I'm th I'm thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho tho their their their their their 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 their their their their their their their their their tho. tho. tho. tho. thoooooooooooooooooo. te. the. thooooooooooooo. the. the. the. the. th's clocks that I think don't change themselves, but then they have changed them, I change them. And then now I'm actually like super behind, but I'm not like behind like everybody.

I'm just like two hours behind. Do you know how weird that is? Sometimes I'll be in the kitchen and then I'll get on like a phone call. And then when I look at the microwave in America just come from daylight savings. You guys need to stop this. What happens if you murder someone when the clock jumps back? Like if you time it really well. Did you murder the person?

Because there's just like an hour that's missing. What happens then? Yeah, do you go to jail for that? I'm asking for a friend. But I need the answer now. Coming to you from the heart of Times Square in New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Show, ears edition. Tonight, islands are going extinct.

Big Bird and Aaron Rogers brawl, and Spike Leap. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah and joining me for today's headlines is my good friend Michael Costa. What's going on Michael? Feeling good man. I love sitting here. This is fun. I get a great seat. Well, it's the only seat. I know. I'm front row seat watching you perform. Oh, I appreciate that. I'll tell. I'll took the the the the the the th I'll th I'll th. I'll the the the the the the the the the the the the tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha the the tha. I'll tha. I'll tha. t. t. t. t. t. the t. 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. t a great seat. Well, it's the only seat. I know. I'm front row seat, watching you perform. Oh, I appreciate that. And then I'll take notes and stuff, and I'll email them to you after,

but this is a great seat, you know? What do you mean notes? Like notes about what I'm doing? Like, notes about what? Like we're doing this thing together, just think of it like that. It's like this thing we're doing here, it's sort of like sex. We're both in it. Yep. And I appreciate that you appreciate me and I'm just trying to appreciate you, but if you send me emails afterwards. But if you send me emails afterwards. Yeah.

Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's true today. All right well let's do it. Let's get into today's headlines. We kick things off with climate change. It's humanity's way of getting revenge on that titanic iceberg. Now, some of the biggest victims of climate change are actually going to be island nations which could be completely swallowed by rising sea levels. And one of these nations is trying to call attention to this danger. One world leader demonstrating the impact of climate change on his home. Tuvalu's foreign minister recorded his COP26 message in knee-high waters. Island nations like his are particularly

vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Some world leaders at COP26 are asking, if wealthy industrialized nations should pay reparations for damage already caused by climate change. Some world leaders at COP26 are asking if wealthy industrialized nations should pay reparations for damage already caused by climate change. Yeah, that's a powerful image, although next time I wouldn't smile. I wouldn't be in like the water being like, we're dying. It doesn't have the same effect. But it is powerful still. Iland nations can't survive if everybody is in waste deep water. It's a terrible thing. I mean there is one benefit and that is you can pee whenever you want and nobody will know but that will make up all the other problems. And I hope a message like this will spur the world to take action especially rich first world nations.

Because if these islands sink there's a lot of tax haven money that's gonna drown. And I know what you're thinking right now. th. th. th. th. thiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. the 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. the th. thi. the the the the thi. the thi. thi. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. tea. tea. tea. teea. teea. tea. tea. tea. te. te. x haven money that's going to drown. And I know what you're thinking right now. If this means Staten Island goes away forever, then it's worth it, right, Trevor? No. We need to protect all islands. Because think about it. Think about how much islands have given to the world. Without islands, there's no dream vacations. There's no the seasons of the white-I is then what are white people going to watch? Huh?

Succession? Yeah. I mean, I guess they could watch succession, but that's one less show. You know what I mean? White Lotus and Succession are my two favorite TV shows. Did you mention that? Yeah, I literally just said that now. I feel like white people love those shows. Yeah, that that that that white that white that white that white, that white, white, white, that white, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, they, 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, thi, thi, thooooooooooooooooomk. together, th. th. thooooooooooooooom. than, than, that's what I was saying. Oh, right. Do you find it interesting that he had that blue screen behind him in the water? Like, was he trying to change his Zoom background?

Doesn't he know that most people make their background a beautiful beach or the ocean? Well, I think if you live in a place, you try and do the opposite background. So he would do a city background? Yeah, he would probably do like a thia that like like a that his background. Right, right. Well that's an interesting commentary that we all kind of want what isn't right in front of us, you know? I don't know if it's powerful I mean it's just a little observation that we have. There was a small observation I made and and you bring up a great point about smiling. I think that image would be even more effective if it was the the the the, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that that that that thin, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi 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 terror on their face. You know? That's also what I say. I know. Well, that's what I mean.

I'm really absorbing from this seat. Thank you, Michael. All right, let's move on to our next story, which is about Elon Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla and Jeff Bezos on Molly. As the world's richest man, Musk gets a lot of perks in his life, right? He has his own space force, he can invent a new language to name his baby, and he can watch Hulu without the ads.

Another big thing about being super rich is that Musk basically never has to pay taxes. Yeah, because all his money is in assets like stocks. He doesn't actually earn an income tax, so he doesn't have to pay income tax. So right now, right now, there's a movement in Congress to tax wealth instead of income because of situations like this. And Elon Musk, he hates this idea like it's paper currency. But unlike most super wealthy people who would just like quietly pay off a senator behind the scenes, no, Musk took his fight to Twitter. And he hosted a poll, right? He took a poll asking whether he should sell 10% of his shares in Tesla,

which would earn him about $25 billion, which he would then have to pay taxes on. And I mean, even that, people, even that just shows you how wild it is to be a billionaire. You hold a poll on Twitter that says, Should I pay taxes? Like you normal people try doing that shit. The IRS will answer that in person. That'll be at your house. Yo, you send that tweet. What? So, how did Elon's poll go?

Well, he's definitely paying something. And the Twitter verse has spoken. Elon Musk asked millions of Twitter shares. The results are in. Nearly 58% of people said yes, while 42% said no. Tesla, down big after Elon Musk asked Twitter users whether he should sell 10% of his stock. That's taking 4.5% out of Tesla. Yeah, because of Elon's tweets,

Tesla's stock crashed instantly, Which should be a lesson. You never take financial advice from random-ass users on Twitter. That's what Reddit is for. But at the same time, I actually find this kind of refreshing. I mean, yeah, Elon Musk is unpredictable, but he's the only CEO who's having a good time. He's running Tesla, but he's also the mascot, you know. It's almost like if the Pillsbury Doe boy was also the CEO. That would be so much fun, you know? Just him going around the office telling people to touch his belly button.

Don't tell HR about this. And by the way, if he actually ends up paying taxes on that stock you realize that's going to be like billions of dollars the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the United States government all of a sudden. Like just at once. I really hope that you voted in the election last Tuesday, but I really, really hope you voted in Elon's Twitter poll because that, my friends, is clearly the vote that really matters. Did you vote? I didn't vote, but I feel for those astronauts flying on a SpaceX rocket ship right now, toilet broke and they're wearing diapers Shitting in their own pants going I wish someone would fix the toilet. What's our CEO doing?

Send it out a Twitter poll? Wouldn't that be frustrating? I think I think he's a cry for cash. He needs cat. There's a difference between wealth and actually having money and I think this guy's broke. you? I think Elon Musk is like he's cash broke. I he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th. I th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th is th is a th is a th is a th is a th is a th is a th is a thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi guy's broke, man. Wait, wait, you think Elon Musk is, like he's cash, brook? I don't think he has any cash. I think if you go to Applebee's with Elon Musk, he can't split appetizers with you, you know what I mean? He'll smile, he'll be like, you guys. I'm Elon Musk, and what I mean? I guess.

Yeah. Who's on Twitter polls? Come on. Children. What do children not have? Money. Do you see how I drew that conclusion? Yes, I do.

Perfectly. Yeah. Totally. That's a really interesting way of seeing things. Thank you. I'm glad I have to things. Thank you. I'm glad I have you here Michael. All right, finally, let's talk about Joe Biden, President of the United States and baby boomer with Gen Z teeth. After a rough few months, Biden just had a pretty good weekend. Congress finally passed his big infrastructure bill. The economy added more than half a million new jobs,

and daylight savings means it's not as weird when he falls asleep at 5 p.m. Unfortunately for Biden, the story most people are talking about is this one. Camilla Duchess of Cornwall just can't stop talking about President Biden's faux par in Glasgow at the climate conference last week. He apparently passed wind in front of her with a palace source claiming his own emissions were long and loud and impossible to ignore. So let me translate that for you. Passing wind is farting.

Yes, Joe Biden farted. That's what he did. British people are so fancy. He passed wind. the wind was passing through you. That is a fart. We have a word for that. And also can you really blame Joe Biden? I mean if you're gonna blame anyone, blame British cuisine. You can't serve a 78 year old man baked beans for breakfast and then act shocked when he blows the doors.

And Joe Biden can't be happy about this getting out, both the farts and the news about the farts. Because it doesn't matter how powerful you are. Once you fought, no one takes you seriously. Nobody, like I don't care who you are. You fought, people stop taking... like, Jesus could come back today. But if he farts it in the middle of it by the way, of all people, the British royal family has no right judging anybody about anything, especially not a fart. You're the last people who can judge. Good heavens, President Biden farted. I simply have to go tell my uncle, who is also my husband about this. As soon as he gets back from Jeffrey Epstein's sex island. Who, hoo-hoo.

You know what, if I was Joe Biden? I would have just owned this shit, yeah. I would have gone back to the American press, and I would have been like, yeah, yeah, I farted. And when it wasn't a mistake, I saw the crown. That's the fart. It's like not proper to fart. You're giving you the their toohe, you know, it's like not proper to fart. That's why you look at so many of the royalty, their face is always like, they're holding it in, right? But America,

we believe in the freedom to fart. That's why the American flag is always waving. That's how George Washington crossed the Delawhaer. You know, the tortu. T. that's that's, 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, thi, their their their their their their, their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, is th, is thi is thi is thi. thi. thi, is thi. thi, is thi, is thi, is throooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooi, is their, isthat torch is eternal because they hooked up a hose from her butthole all the way up to the torch. Well, I don't know if that's true. It's true. But I'm glad that you are proud. Yeah, I'm proud of that, the American farts. That's powerful. Yeah, it's like the nation.

the t much for being here. I look forward to your email. All right, that's it for the headlines. Don't go away, because when we come back, we'll find out what Sesame Street thinks about COVID. Pretty controversial. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives. But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. 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. Let's talk about the COVID vaccine. It's Bill Gates's dumbest idea ever. He's just giving us microchips for free, idiot. There are a lot of big stories about the vaccine right now.

So let's catch up on all of them in our ongoing segment, Vaccination Nation. When the pandemic first hit in March 2020, most international travel shut down. You guys probably remember cancelling summer vacation trips and pretending to be upset that you couldn't go to your cousin's destination wedding in Cancun. Well, now that the vaccines are out, the world is slowly opening back up again, including as of this morning, America. Yeah, that's right. America is open for tourism again, which means, come on in everybody, but, but, but, but, before you get on that plane, there are some rules.

The US today will reopen its borders to international visitors as long as they are fully vaccinated. People from more than 30 countries will be allowed to travel to the US as long as they show proof of vaccination and a recent negative COVID test. Corona virus restrictions have kept the crossings closed for nearly 20 months. Exceptions include travelers under the age of 18 and those from countries with low vaccination availability. Wow, that is a boatload of countries.

It's like a list of 50? Like, okay, maybe it's just me, but this is a little confusing. They're saying the virus is so deadly, so deadly. You can't come to America unless you're vaccinated. But also, if you don't have the vaccine vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, the vaccine, to vaccine, to vaccine, to vaccine, to vaccine, to vaccine, to vaccine,, so deadly, you can't come to America unless you're vaccinated. But also, if you don't have the vaccine, no biggie. I mean, the policy is a little all over the place, no? It's almost like Dr. Fauci and Nicarage worked together on a group project.

I mean, the only other time you see this logic is from a bouncer at a nightclub. You know, they'll be like, the the policy, the the policy, the the policy, the the policy, the the the the the policy, the the the policy, their thi, thi, their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, thirty, thirty, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, tho, th. I's, th. I's, th. I's, th. I's, th. I's, th. I's, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I. I. I. I. I. I's, th. I's, the th. I's, the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their. I's their. I'm their, their, their, their, their. their their their their thooooooo. I'm. th be like, hey, we got no room. We got no room. Come on, guys, we totally full, man. Totally full, back up, no room, no room. Hey, yeah, come on in, ladies, come on in, yeah, come on in. Good see you, you're looking good, yeah, come. Hey, man, what is trying to balance public safety with not looking like you're banning shit-hole countries. Because now you're in a conundrum. Do you let unvaccinated people into the US, even though that's more of a risk?

Or do you look racist? Either way, it's a problem that could have been averted if America had shared its vaccines instead of having six vaccines for every man, woman, and emotional support animal. I'm just saying. Oh, and one person who definitely doesn't have the vaccine is the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rogers. Last week, Rogers came down with COVID, which is how everyone learned that he wasn't vaccinated. Yeah, and apparently Rogers tried some homeopathic treatment instead of getting the vaccine.

And that took a lot of people by surprise because back in the preseason, he said this. Are you vaccinated and what's your stance on vaccinations? Yeah, I've been immunized. Yeah, yeah, I've been immunized. Not vaccinated. That was a pretty slippery answer looking back at it. This is like your girl asking if you're wearing a condom and you put on a bike helmet and you're like,

yeah, yeah, I'm wearing protection. And after this news broke, everyone wanted to know why. Why did Aaron Rogers refuse to get vaccinated and hide it from everyone. And on Friday, he went on a podcast to give his side of the story. I'm not, you know, some sort of anti-vax flat-earther. I am somebody who's a critical thinker. You guys know me, I'm mrs. to beat my own drum. I consulted with a now good friend of mine, Joe Rogan,

after he got COVID, and I've been doing a lot of the stuff that he recommended in his podcasts. I've been taking monoclone antibodies, Ivermectin, zinc, vitamin C and DHQ. I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and ability to make choices for your body not to have to acquiesce to some woe culture or crazed you know. You're a the the, you know, the the the the, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and a the, and a the the the stuff, and a good, and a good, and a good, and the stuff, and the stuff, and the, and the, and the the, and the the the the the the the the the the th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, theat, theat, theat, the theat, theat, the theat, the the, the that, the the the, the the the, the the, for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed, you know, group of individuals who say you have to do something. The great MLK said that you have a moral obligation to object to unjust rules and rules that make no sense. Oh, that actually reminds me of another famous MLK quote. I have a dream that when I'm gone, you'll leave me out of your messy ass drama.

So Rogers basically says that he's an independent thinker who doesn't want to be told what to do with his body. And, I don't know, you ever notice how all the independent thinkers are doing the exact same thing, right? It's not like they're all coming up with different ideas. Like, I'm an independent thinker. What are my thoughts, Gerogin? Tell me about my independent thoughts. But you can tell how politics has just infected the entire vaccine debate.

Because you'll never see Aaron Rogers doing this to anything else. He's never applying this kind of independent thinking to the rest of his body. Like just once, I'd love to see him out there on the field like, forget pads and helmets. I've decided to cover myself in Manuka honey. And honestly, people, my biggest problem with athletes like Aaron Rogers or Kairi Irving, is that they think that this choice only affects themselves. that this choice only affects themselves. But there are real victims here. And yes, I'm talking about those of us who play fantasy sports.

Because it used to be when you drafted players, all you had to take into account was their injury history or their teams offseason moves. Now, now you've got to be like, okay, what are the chances that this player gets his news from Facebook? I'm their their their th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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. thi. toeei. toei. tooi. toei. toei. tooi. I'm thi. I'm lose points. And if you're wondering, isn't there a cultural figure out there who can challenge Aaron Rogers, you know, someone who's pro-vaccination and who everyone respects?

Well, worry no more because help is on the way. And now, Big Bird is causing a stir over the COVID vaccine. The Sesame Street character, who is six years old on the show posted about getting the vaccine after the Pfizer shot was approved for kids as young as five. Texas Senator Ted Cruz responded to Big Bird's tweet saying government propaganda for your five-year-old. All right, first of all, Ted Cruz, you need to calm down. Five-year-olds aren't even going to see Big Bird's tweet. Five-year-olds aren't on Twitter. They're on Tick tok. And honestly, I'm surprised Ted Cruz Cruz even going hard after Big Bird, considering how much they have in common.

I mean, they both desperately want to fly, but they can't. This whole thing is such a double standard, right? People are upset about Big Bird getting the vaccine, but no one. No one cares about all the hormone injections that they've been giving him to make him as big and delicious as possible when they eventually eat him. Because that's gonna happen, people. It's only a matter of time. And it's gonna be the worst Thanksgiving episode of all time. I mean, I will say though, Big Bird getting vaccinated is not an effective way

to convince people to get the shot. If they really, if they really want to convince kids, they should have killed one of the Sesame Street characters with COVID. Yeah, kids remember that shit. The count should be there on his deathbed like, The vaccine could have saved me, but it's too late now. How many regrets do I have? One regret, two regrets. Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Yeah, your kid will remember that shit forever. Now, look, Big Bird is entitled to his opinions, but it turns out not every giant bird feels the same way. And we here at the Daily Show, well, we want to hear from all sides. So in the interest of fairness, here to offer an opposing an equally important opinion. Please welcome, independent thinking bird. Thanks for having me on, Trevor. I'm excited to spread the truth.

Wow, I hope that's all you're spreading. Now I understand that you disagree with Big Bird? It's not about disagreeing, Trevor. It's about keeping an open mind. Everyone says, listen to your doctor. But what about listening to this guy met at the gym? His cousin got vaccinated, and two days later, his nipples fell off. That's why you should do your own research. Come on, that can't be true. And also, I mean, I assume that means you're not vaccinated? I still have my nipples, don't I?

I can't tell. Are you vaccinated or not? Even better. I'm immunized. That means I use alternative medicine, so I'm safe from disease and big pharma. But what alternative medicine is more effective than the vaccine? Well, I do yoga, I get acupuncture, and every night before bed, I drink a warm glass of goat piss, which reminds me, today's show is brought to you by the letter P. Yum. No, no, no, do not listen to him, kids. We're not sponsored by the letter P. Nobody drink p, please.

Sounds like Trevor's part of the cancel culture woke mob I've been on team goat for years and so far the only diseases I've had are measles, mumps, rubella, early onset Alzheimer's, whooping cough, Ukrainian smallpox, early onset Alzheimer's, and bird flu.

As a Knicks fan, how long have you been strut? Well, the last time we won an NBA championship was the 72-73 season. Uh-huh. and as I say, it's orange and blue skies. Let's talk about that suit. Where do you even find that? Because I mean, you don't pop out to a store and find an NBA logo suit. The logo is Jerry West.

And it's a Louis Vuitton suit, my brother Virgil. He looked it up. Okay. Okay. It was, it was the season opener. It's had to come out strong. You look sharp, 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, it, it, I th. th. th. th. th. tho, you're tho, you're tho, you're th. that, you're tho, you're tho, you tho, you tho, you tho, you tho, you th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

You look sharp. Dang, I could not think.

I could not be messing around, you know, where things are looking good this year. Yeah. As far as basketball, you see, the rest of the world, I can't do. You know what, you know my mom always says you take what you can get. Got to be a hundred years old told me also, Spiky, got a crawl before you can walk. That's the truth. Put me through Morehouse and NYU Film School, my grandmother. Wow.

She saved the social security checks for 50 years for grandchildren's education. And since I was a first born, I had first dips. Wow. So then in many ways I would argue that this book is almost a celebration of her hard work. Oh yes because I mean this is her grandmother was a slave yet she was a college graduate from Spelman. But we can I just say something? Yeah yeah. 95% of those pictures in that book above my brother. That's what I wanted to ask you about. Yeah David Lee. Let's let's jump into that book above my brother. That's what I wanted to ask you about. Yeah, David Lee. Let's jump into the book.

OK. There are few people who could put out a book of their work that would be as, I mean, not just wide-ranging, but also like time-spanning as this book is. You know, everything from she's got to have the thiii. You go the the to to to to to to the to to to their to their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, to their, times, times, tooomk, theirp. tooomboukiph. timesp. timesp. timesp. timesp. timesp. timesp-sp-sp-sp-sp-sp-sp-sp-sp-sp-sh. th. thiolk. thiolk. thi. thi.

Let's some of these pictures and you do the right thing, and then you're getting down, you go to Jungle Fever, you go to Malcolm X. Let's talk about the book as a whole. First of all, what's amazing is, your brother has taken, as you said,

like 90% of the pictures, Since film school, when I was an NYU graduate film school, he's been taken documenting all my films. And now he's the top junior photographer in New York City. So I've been blessed. My sister Joir is a writer, director. She's been in my films. She, her and my brother Sanky Colt were the original writers of Crookland, which is a semi-biograph for our family going on from Brooklyn, New York during late 60, early 70s. My brother Chris, who's normal with this, he was one of the really, really great first wave

of graffiti artists. His name was Shadow. So this just went through the family. And I come from a very artistic family. My father, Billy, great javelin, great composer, composed the scores from my films from film school, all with the Moebett of Blues. And during their early 60s, he was the top folk bassist in the world. When Bob Dylan decided he want to go electric, everybody folk went electric. My father to this day has never played an electric instrument.

Wow. But at first I can understand why my father would do that. But as I've gotten older and wiser, he had convictions. This is something he's not going to do. Now of course, all jump saying, you have five kids. But he wanted, you call it, tone as is. He's a jazz position. Even when he played, even when he played, he wouldn't put a mic up on a stand to his base. He didn't want anything. He just wanted to sound the way it was.

Yeah. And I can't hate him for that. I can't do that. I'm just happy that. When I was able to give, give him a platform. So his music, I mean, that do the right thing. Soundtrack was probably his best. I mean, I, I, I, I the score, which probably is best, I mean, people love that, you know. I mean, the score for it, not the soundtrack.

Right, right, right. Your work speaks to everyone in every single way. I love that this isn't just a book of pictures from Spike Lee's work, but it's also, it's also snippets of your thoughts, your ideas. You know, as I was as I I I I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I as I was as I was as I was as I was as I was as I was as I was as I was as I was, as I was, as I was, as I was, as I was, as I was, as, as, as I was, as I was, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as I was, as I was, as I was, as I was, as I was, as I was, as I was, as a, as a, as I was, as a, as that, as th....... that, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as ideas, you know, as I was going through it. Which tab is that? Oh man, I mean, I'll tell you, for me, like Jungle Fever, for instance, you know, just reading through your mind where you were going, a lot of people misunderstand my work or they put one label to my work and they don't understand that I'm telling a story about a complicated issue, right. story about all issues. Yes, the rap against jungle fevers that I was against

interracial, you know, marriage or whatever, but that was not the case. What I want to do is to use two Pacific neighborhoods, Harlem, African-American, and theirs, Stone, Italian, American. And these two people, from different backgrounds, come together and the pressures on them make it difficult for them but that was not the really the whole interracial thing was only a platform to get to what the movie is really about which is at the time how crack was devastating the black community which you really see through. Which is, at the time how crack was devastating the black community,

which you really see through, what I believe is one of the greatest Sam Jackson performances as Gator. Right. There's so many stories in here, there's so many moments from your life. I mean, you know, your life has spanned decades,time Well my four decades of filmmaker fourth decade of filmmaking I would love to know what the 1986 Spike Lee would take his advice from the 2021 Spike Lee you know person who's been through all these journeys from Crooklin do the right thing I would I really do these

If at the 63 year old spike leak, speak to the, as my mother would say, my late mother would say, the skinny rusty butt spiky, I would tell my young self that you have to be more patient with people and everybody is not the same. You can expect everybody know what you think, how you think of what you know and that that is giving grace. Were you ever able to extend that grace to your father? Yeah. I mean, you know, he's kind of like not really good in a mental thing.

But he's still with us. And it wasn't for him and my mother, I would not be the artist I am. So, lover's always going to be there.
