(cheers and applause). >> trevor: welcome to the daily show, everybody. thank you so much for tuning in. thank you for coming out. you guys sound amazing. wow. thank you. thank you. thank you. let's do it, people, take a seat, let's make a show, i'm trevor noah. our guest tonight is one of the hardest working actors around you know from atlanta, knives out, get out and the new movie, the photograph. lakeith stanfield is joining us. (cheers and applause) also on tonight's show, the democratic party is getting real, the titanic is in trouble, and jussie smollett is making a sequel. so let's catch up on today's head behinds. let's kick it off with jussie smollett. empire actor and black pinnochio. a year ago he told an incredible story about being jumped on the street by two trump supporters. and now someone might finally go to jail for that attack. >> the dramatic new turn that thrust the jussie smollett case into the spotlight. >> he is once again facing charges in chicago for claiming he was the victim of a hate crime attack. >> this morning smollett is facing six new charges of disorderly conduct for lying to police. the move a stunning reversal after prosecutors dropped all 16 charges the actor originally faced in this new indictment the special prosecutors office says smollett faced numerous false statements to chicago police on multiple occasions reporting a heinous hate crime that he in fact knew had not occurred. >> yes, jussie smollett is back in the headlines. this time for being indicted over reporting a fake hate crime. and it really sounds bad until you remember that his plan all along was to get a recurring story line that doesn't go away, so he kind of god got what he wanted. this is what he wanted. i know what jussie did was wrong but at the same time i kind of feel bad for him, right. because he gets in trouble for calling in fake crimes for those pepper mint patties that make those fake calls to 911 live their lives, they just do their thing. in fact, maybe that should be jussie's punishment. he should be forced to get a white lady nickname, that should be it. everywhere he goes people are like well well well, there goes subway smollett. there he is. but let's move on to roger stone. trump's campaign aid and the monopoly man's cocaine dealer. >> this week he was about to be sentenced for lying to the fbi and threatening witnesses. but luckily he has got friends in oval places. >> late tonight all four federal prosecutors on the roger stone case have quit after the department undercut their recommended sentence. just yesterday those career prosecutors recommended he get seven to nine years behind bars. but late tonight the d o.j. in a filing calling the initial recommendation excessive and unwarranted. just hours after president trump tweeted overnight blasting the sen-- sentencing prosecutors initially recommended as horrible and very unfair. the president denies he had anything to do with it. >> i have seen from your tweet that you were upset about the roger stone sentencing. >> i thought it was ridiculous. >> did you did-- i would be able to do it, if i wanted i had the right to do it. i stay out of things, to a degree that people wouldn't believe. >> that's right, folks. that's right. i stay out of things. i stay out of everything, intelligence briefings, church, melania's bedroom, i stay out of all of it, i stay out, stay out. >> this is actually crazy what happened here. the justice department recommended roger stone get 7 to 9 years in prison, right. trump then tweets that their recommendation is too harsh so they then cancel their recommendation. and then trump says he's totally staying out of it. that's not what he did. he is staying out of it the same way the kool-aid man stays out of a room, do i use the door. oh no. because here is the thing, trump is acting like his twitter account can't influence the justice department, like they can't see his tweets it is like someone saying i didn't ask her to marry me, i just had will you marry me written in the sky. anybody could have said yes, it could have been anybody. and not only was it wrong for trump to get involved in his friend's case, it was also totally unnecessary. because this is one person who looks like he can break out of prison on his own. it's this guy. all right, finally, you guys remember how the titanic crashed? well, it happened again. >> a new report claims the wreck of the titanic was hit by by a submarine last year but the u.s. government kept it a secret by, telegraph said a pa million dollar vehicle hit the titan nik july t comes ahead of what could be a landmark court battle over the future of the wreckage. >> trevor: this is insane. the titanic was involved in another crash? their nationwide premiums are totally going through the roof, man. i'm glad that no one was hurt. because how would you explain that to people. yeah, like brian died in the titanic. yeah, this year, this year, yeah. titanic versus submarine is such a weird story. i mean technically though the titanic is also a submarine. yeah, really any ship can be a submarine if your captain is shitty, in if you think about it you know what would be crazy though, if getting hit makes the titanic unsink, like that could be a rule, if you crash you go down, if you crash again you get to gup, you float up to the top of the and everyone is like yeah, we're alive and the iceberg shows up, well, well work didn't learn their lesson. all right, that's it for the headlines. let's move on to our top story. (applause) yesterday the second democratic primary took place in new hampshire. the home of the white mountains and the state that looks like canada's butt plug. and the results may have changed the race for presidents in major ways. so let's take a look at the fallout in our ongoing segment world war d. coming out of the iowa primary the big winners were bernie sanders, pete buttigieg and anyone who didn't build that shitty appk an last night in new hampshire those two top two kept their momentum going. >> with a win in new hampshire senator sanders taking control as the democratic frontrunner but not too far behind him pete buttigieg. despite winning the popular vote in both iowa and new hampshire, sanders is behind in the overall del krat race by two. >> one of the night's other big winners senator amy klobuchar who took third place. she capitalized on the moment by reintroducing herself to the country. >> hello america, i'm amy klobuchar, and i will beat donald trump. >> trevor: yes, last night may have been the best night for bernie sanders since he won that free cruise on noah's ark but new hampshire's biggest surprise was amy klobuchar who burst into the national spotlight with a third place finish. and the timing couldn't be better for klobuchar. because in many ways the presidential campaign are like getting drunk at a party. you want to peak at the right time. see the other candidates had their surge last year, which is too early. like getting wasted at 6 p.m yeah. because by the time the party is really gooing you are puking in the bushes, oh, i'm so sorry i didn't pace myself. i promise i will do better in south carolina. so there is no denying that new hampshire was great for amy klobuchar's cam tain and a great night for news people who love word play. >> senator choab char road the klo mentum. >> are you feeling clo mentum. >> st real and she has it, a klo meant usm. >> klo mentum, klubu surge. >> they call it klo motion. >> is there klo-meant usm. >> trevor: i want to try t is klobberring time, yeah, she gave them the old klope a dope. new hampshire has an outbreak of klomydia. all right, i'm done, i'm done, i'm done. she killed it like kl o.j. simpsons okay i'm done, i'm done, no more. so for bernie, buttigieg and klobuchar new hampshire was a dream. but unfortunately for some other big name candidates it turned into a nightmare. >> another major new hampshire headline, the candidates who fell far behind including long time national frontrunner joe biden and senator elizabeth warren. both failed to get enough votes to earn any delegates. before the race was called biden who placed fifth was on a plane to south carolina which will hold the nation's next primary. >> biden saw the writing on the wall. he had left even before the polls had closed. >> live streaming into his campaign's new hampshire watch party. >> oh. joe biden left new hampshire before the polls were even closed? i mean i've heard of fans leaving the game early but you know it is bad when the team leaves early to beat the traffic. the coach is just like all right guys, screw the fourth quarter, let's just start the bus. >> i feel bad for pied biden supporters. think about it, you came all the way out to see your candidate and instead all you get is a video. imagine you were in the dentist chair and your doctor pops up from the screen like aloha from hawaii, here are three simple steps to perform your own root canal. so while biden supporters wept frozen new hampshire tears the man himself was already in south carolina looking toward the future. >> joe biden spent his night in south carolina. his campaign is taking survival on his strength with black voters. >> i want y'all to think of a number. 99.9 percent, that is the percentage of american voters who have not yet had a chance to vote in america. so up until now we haven't heard from the most---- of the democratic party the african-american community. >> trevor: that's right, joe biden's campaign has basically become a madea movie. if black people don't turn up, it's toast. and even though he does make a good point. it is a little weird, you have to admit it is a little weird that the story of the democratic race has now been written by two states that aren't representative of the democratic party. think about it, two overwhelmingly white states shape who the democratic nominee will be. right? that is long before minority voters have had their say. if is if the democratic party is having a buffet but then white people get to pick the menu. and if you are black that sucks because you get there and man, why the hell is there raisins in everything, man? and who the [bleep] is broccoli rab. so that's where the race stands after two primaries. buttigieg and bernie are neck and neck and all the other candidates are hoping for a boost in nevada and south carolina. now if you will excuse me, time for us to go away for a klomercial break. get it, get it, all right, we'll be right back. be right back. (applause) we've all been here before. the conference room. the speaker phone. the missing files. not in the room? then you're not in the know. well, this has been nice, but can we not? microsoft teams invites everyone you work with, to work together. be seen, be heard, be there when you're not. share your files, and your opinion. and maybe even a happy little fruit guy. when you're ready to unleash the power of your team, open teams. mik'mike will get it done?'n, ok, let me tell you what the 'it' is. as mayor, i expanded healthcare coverage. as president, i'll build on obamacare because healthcare is a right. i created nearly 500,000 jobs in new york city. as president, i'll build an economy that delivers good jobs with higher wages. i'll take on the gun lobby and save lives. and i will stop trump's assault on women's reproductive rights. i've got a record of doing things. i've got the resources to take on this fight. as mayor, i held myself accountable for results. as president, i'll offer common sense plans and i will get it done. so let's stay on the offensive, and let's win. i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. >> trevor: welcome back to the daily show. the new hampshire primary gave life to bernie, pete and amy klobuchar. but while the new hampshire givette, it also takette away. the race is getting smaller as of last night's results. we did see the suspension or termination of presidential campaigns by andrew yang and senator michael bennett bennet. >> tonight is not going to be our night but let me say this to new hampshire. you may see me once again. >> you know i am the math guy. and it is clear tonight from the numbers that we are not going to win this race. we'll be back soon. in the mean time though, thank you all. god bless you and god bless the united states of america. >> trevor: i'm not going to lie, i don't get why candidates always say they'll be back when they know they won't. i know they don't want to seem like a loser but why not just be honest, you know, why not like new hampshire, you guys are never going to see me ever again. like it is the same problem with movie vilans, even when they are falling off a cliff or building they are like i'll be back. no, you won't. no, you won't. it would be nice if are you are honest. you and your family are safe forever. but even though he is gone, andrew yang did leave a lasting impression on the 2020 race. his plan for universal basic income made a big splash. and it even had an impact on the real world. you see, he gave several families $1,000 a month for a year to test out his plan. and we sent ronnie chieng to find out how it went. >> yesterday andrew yang dropped out of the 2020 presidential race. and i'm a little sad about it. last year i met him in person and there was just something about the guy that made me trust him. not to mention i really wanted that free money he was promising. >> every american adult at the age of 18 should get $1,000 a month free and clear from the government to do whatever they want. >> making it rain, upi or universal basic income, although it died with yang's campaign a few lucky families did get a thousand dollars a month for a year as as test program lake the fasy family. >> baiflt he gave us a check from $1,000 a month from january to december. >> we went to his new year's eve party and so that is how we got our first check was at midnight. >> he wrote a check and gave it to you physically. >> and then after probably three months he was getting really busy. >> he forgot about us. >> what? , he didn't pay on time. >> yeah, it was very odd. sending out a message like hey, you owe us money. >> so you guys were like hey asshole, where is my free money. >> we said it much nicer than that. >> oh, hey asshole, where is my free money. so how hard did chuck and jodi fall out withs that $12,000. >> did you buy a tesla, buy a snow mobile, buy a tesla snow mobile. >> no, we spent 90% of it on our daughter's college tuition. >> college tuition, i guess that is pretty good. what else. >> spent a little bit on groceries, buying some healthier choices, komb ucha and soy yogurt. >> isn't yogurt andcombutcha for shitting. >> digest shun. >> so now that the money stopped you must be pretty backed up. >> luckily, he was so inspiered by the experience that he learned how to brew his own kombucha. and it is potent. >> what is it? >> st a big blob of bacteria that has been sitting in fermented tea in my bathroom for about six weeks. >> bathroom juice aside, these people spent their ubi on college, groceries and paying bills. what a bunch of idiots. it is like they don't even know what flexing means. >> you guys could be in head to toe supreme right now. do you know what supreme is? >> into. >> no. >> [bleep]. >> how you flex, to your neighbors and make them jel os, that is what money is for, okay chuck, okay, jodi. >> but believe it or not, falling out is the last thing on most americans minds. half of american adults say they can't even cover an unexpected $400 expense. yearly if you give people $1,000 a month, they will spend it on necessities, with a few exceptions. >> what did you buy. >> i took improv classes. have i been doing that for the last few months. >> you took improv classes. >> yeah, mindsful improv classes [bleep]. >> it means we do self-appreciation, we do-- st tawtd by a yoga teacher. >> oh my god. >> andrew yang may be out of the about thal race but his ideas live on. and americans deserve a shot at universal basic income. well, maybe not all americans. >> how are you doing? >> oh, i lost my hand. >> i hate improv. (applause). >> trevor: an ronnie chieng, everyone, we'll be right back.

(cheers and applause). >> trevor: welcome back to the daily show, my guest tonight is an amazing actor you know from get out, sorry to bother you and uncut gems. his new movie is called the photograph. >> i didn't know you were coming. >> you were supposed to invite me. >> i'm sorry. next time. >> what did you think about the movie? >> to be honest i was a little distracted. >> what. >> so i kept running back in my mind how you might respond to me asking you for a drink after. >> so that was you asking me? that was elaborate. >> in my mind it wasn't that forward, you know what i mean, it was more smoother than that. >> trevor: please welcome lakeith stanfield. (cheers and applause) welcome to the show. >> thank you. such a beautiful crowd here, wow. >> trevor: the pitches of the screams are not usually that high. although i feel you are used to that. before we get into this move wree in particular, is it safe to say that you are the least type cast actor in hollywood? because like if i think of all the movies that you are in, whether st uncut gems, whether st like get out, like get out, that was an extreme piece of acting because you were playing a black man who was a white man at one point, who used to be a black man. that is powerful-- not many people can do that. >> yeah, yeah. well, i appreciate it. i would hope i was the least type cast. as actors we don't like that. >> trevor: right, you want to be in as many different rolls as possible, that is what you achieve. do you purposefully pick your scripts like that, do you go i will go from one to the other type. not the same genre. >> i try to pick things that speak to me. so as i grow the kind of things that i am attracted to kind of expand. >> trevor: right. >> i try to be close to the things that mean something. have i been very fortunate to be part ever a whole bunch of different kinds of projects. >> trevor: not many actors would take the chance of going into a romcom because it is scaree when you have gone from comedy, romantic koment de people are saying are you bringing them back, is it 15 years since the golden age of black romantic come dierks thin line between love and hate, love and-- et cetera, you seeing on screen two amazing actors people love, yourself and ether s that part of the reason why you chose it, it is like for this generation now. >> it was. i wanted to see a resurgence of dark skin love on screen. (applause) >> so that was a big part of it. but the story was written very well. to work with essa. i wanted to work with bella. so everything fell into place in aye nice way. >> trevor: you have been called one of the mavericks of the red carpet, by people. most of us when we are on a red carpet we try and look appropriate for the carpet. we're stand up and do this, you have broken the red carpet multiple times. like you get there and just do your own thing. you sat down, like you just sat there at the emmys. and then i think there was another red carpet where you just came in, right in a ski mask, right, and one of my favorites is the joker, you just showed up as-- you don't take it seriously at all, do you. >> i don't get no [bleep]. (applause) . >> trevor: is there a reason? >> just got to be comfortable, man. you got to do things your way. you got to enjoy yourself i think is the most important thing. sometimes a little bit too high strung and stressful, so you got to have fun. and one my legs were just tired, so i sat down. >> trevor: wait, your legs were tired, just from standing. >> yeah, it was a lot of energy go up and down, let me take a seat. >> trevor: i like that about you. you have got this swagger about you that i'm going to do my thing. >> you got to t is too stressful trying to make everybody happy. (applause). >> trevor: essa is in the movie, one of the funniest people, both scripted and off-the-cuff. the two of you, you know, you are playing back and forthing to. i have always wondered this. when you are in a movie like this, is there a point where you find yourself by mistake falling in love? or are you-- genuinely i always wondered that. when you are in a romantic movie with somebody. >> i think you are trying to have a connection that will translate on camera. you are trying to get into a flow with the person, to break down the barriers of what you don't know and do what you do know. which is the universal spirit. so that way when the cameras come on there is a natural thing going on. the rapport, break downing the ice, cracking jokes, kicking back, relaxing. then when you get on screen it looks like you have known each other. but there is just a way of getting at it. but i think the main best way to do it is to trust, get in there, trust, go in naked, and-- . >> trevor: i have heard directors say about your acting specifically that what makes lakeith special is that you don't care about what you look like on screen. you care about putting the character, you know, and getting the character across. you have been acting since you were like what, 14, maybe even earlier in life. >> yeah. >> trevor: where do you develop that from. where do you cake up and go no, i'm fully in this, i'm not lakeith in this moment. i'm fully this person and i don't ware what i look like, i care what the person sees. >> i'm a little crazy. but also i think it's-- first of all, it is appealing to the story. the story is the most important thing. then the character comes secondary and what i look like really ain't got nothing to do with nothing so i kind of try and focus on the job and execute like that, but if i need to i'm worried. depends on what is necessary. >> trevor: where do you go from here because you have been in i guess a thriller slash horror. you have been in action, you've been in like surreal dark comedy. you have been in romantic comedies, is that something you want to do that you haven't done it is like a dream project you have? >> yeah, i think my dream project is the one i have coming out. untitled fred hanson project. i did with chaka king, daniel-- it is a beautiful story about this guy who really fought for our freedom and our love and our ability to love and expresence the way we want to. and those are the kind of things i want to be a part of. can if i can talk about something, say something and mean something when i have an option to, that is what i want to do. >> trevor: that sounds amazing. that really sounds amazing. i am excited to see you in this movie. i'm excited to see what you do for the rest of the career. i have money on you beating samuel l. jackson's record for the most move movies. >> i think you might. >> that would be fine. >> trevor: thank you so much for being on the show. >> pleasure. >> trevor: great having you here. the photograph, will be in theaters february 14th. valentine's day, people, lakeith stanfield, we'll be right back. plaws ♪ dum dum dee dum dum dum [slurping sound] ♪ while you're working hard, do you know what your money is doing? probably not much. is your bank letting your money be lazy? make your money work harder than ever with ally's new smart savings tools. for all things money you deserve an ally. ally's ♪ew smart savings tools. yes. yes. yeah sure. yes yes. yeah, yeah no problem. yes. yes, yes a thousand times yes! discover. accepted at over 95% of places in the u.s. discover. and creamy avocado salsa.rips- anyways... these strips have got to be their thickest chip yet- perfect for dipping in this delicious salsa made with real avocados. they're good apart. but even better together. say what?? mmmmmm.... alright, pass me some of that green stuff. fo' shizzle. martha, we talked about this. tostitos. get to the good stuff.
