- we should've never gone to that stupid cult meeting. >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show"! thank you so much for tuning in! i'm trevor noah! tonight's guest, here to talk about the movie, femm "the mounn between us," idris elba is here, everybody! cheaper he's going to be right here. maybe he's going to talk or maybe he's going to sit here shirtless five minutes ( cheers and applause ) either way, it's going to be a

good show. but first, what an exciting weekend in new york. the u.s. open finished up. rafael nay del beat out a south african in the final, so screw him. ( laughter ) but the story of the open was undoubtedly that of sloan stephens who started the tournament unseeded and ended the week boiling out of control. >> all that hard work, to hand you a prize money check for $3.7 million. ( cheering ) >> sloan, having done this once, does it give you a hunger to win another slam, to do this again, feel this feeling again? >> of course, girl, did you see that check that that lady handed me? like, yes! >> trevor: oh, man! i love her so much. i love it! finally a sports person who just tells it like it is! nonof that, oh, yeah, for the love of the game. did you tee see that paper? i'll be back! i'll be back! ( laughter )

so congratulations, sloan, on winning the open and $3.7 million, which may seem like a lot of money, but have you ever tried to pay for tennis lessons? it's like five lessons top. spend it wisely, sloan. the big story this week, hurricane irma, left damage in the caribbean and 60% of the state of florida without power. luckily, most people evacuated except for marco rubio who stayed and said, water! finally, water! so thirsty! ( laughter ) before irma touched land in florida, the governor ordered everyone to evacuate. there is a reason florida has a reputation. >> this man making the mistake of getting an up close look at irma's strength knocked off his feet. >> this is stupid. these two guys going out in the rain in the storm. first of all, i don't know how they're staying up on two wheessments do not do that.

>> despite governor scott's warnings for people to get out while they can, i mean, this family is just going back into the ocean. it is really just unbelievable. ( laughter ) >> trevor: i'm going to take a wild guess and say that family is not vaccinated. ( laughter ) wild guess. if your parents run with you into the hurricane, i would love to know what the rest of their parenting looks like. "listen to me, scott -- if your friend tells you to jump off the cliff, you better invite me, buddy! i'm your dad second but bro first, yeah!" it wasn't just really stupid people who stayed behind to see the storm up close. there were also incredibly smart people. >> what do you think about the storm and the vie rossty and your own safety at this point? >> i'm glad to know the storm is due south of us about 220 miles as we speak because it's

crossing the 80th meridian which is 80 degrees west longitude. it was 275 degrees. that's only 1/15 above due west toward true north. ( laughter ) >> trevor: all right, all right, either that guy is super smart or he is really high on bath salts. ( laughter ) one of the two. who is he? where is he from? because he knows way too much about florida to be from florida. i don't know who that person is. ( laughter ) also he knows a weird amount about the hurricane. in fact, i wouldn't be surprised if hurricane irma changed direction just to avoid him. like if the storm was like, ooh, ooh! oh, man. oh, (bleep), it's that creepy hurricane guy. oh, oh, don't see me, don't see me, don't see me. oh, yeah. i blew him, like, once. he's been obsessed ever since. oh, don't see me, don't see me. ( applause ) now, with any wall-to-wall

coverage of a disaster, there's bound to be a few awkward moments or slipups, but it's not usual they come from the studio. >> we're seeing the tops of trash -- trashcans flying around, and this wind, i am not a small woman, as you know, don, i'm a chunky girl and it is blowing me around when the gusts come really, really hard. this is nothing to play around with, everyone has been told that over and over and over again that you really have to respect this win. >> thank you, sarah, you are a beautiful woman no matter what size you are, and there's nothing wrong with having a little curve. ( laughter ) >> trevor: wow. okay. that was a bit weird, because, don lemmon, that reporter said nothing about being beautiful. she's just, like, i'm a chunky girl -- i wish the camera would have cut back to sarah to say, yeah, don, i never said i wasn't beautiful. don would have to overcompensate

saying, yeah, but i just said because you're curvy -- but i never said anything about beauty. but i never said anything about beautiful. but -- i'm just going to quit now. let's move on. ( laughter ) no one expects a hurricane to hit expect the family with polio. ( laughter ) but you have to admit when watching the coverage of the storms it's a little fun watching news reporters getting voluntarily water boarded. >> all right, here it comes. oh! irma! oh, here we go! oh! >> there are those gusts you're talking about. the branches are starting to come off the trees next to us. only a matter of time. >> there is a strong argument to be made that standing in a storm is not a smart thing to do. we do it so you don't have to. >> trevor: wait -- wait. no, no. wait. did this guy just suggest that if reporters don't go out into the hurricane then we'll have to do it?

( laughter ) nobody has to do it. it's like if the guys from "jackass" were, like, well, if some guy's going to let the rattlesnake bite their penis, we'll do it so you don't have to! yeah! ( laughter ) i get the value of showing how strong a storm is. you don't have to send the reporters out there. you can just show is trees blowing in the background. we get it. you can put a cnn jacket on one of the trees and it would have the exact same effect. we would get it. we would be, like, man that storm is crazy, and look at the curves on that tree, still beautiful, really beautiful. beautiful, though. beautiful. ( cheers and applause ) so beautiful. but then again, i will say this, with all the cable networks providing such dramatic coverage of the storm, "the daily show" wasn't going to be left out. to desi lydic, everybody, in

florida! >> that's right, trevor! i'm out here covering the tail end of hurricane irma, and i cannot stress enough that every human being should be indoors right now. not like i am. and definitely not flying a kite one-handed like i am right now. >> trevor: wait, desi, why are you flying a kite? >> so that you don't have to, trevor! oh, the storm is getting closer! and if storm gets bad enough, i could be in grave, grave danger of going viral and possibly even getting my own prime time show! >> trevor: thank you for your commitment, desi. we'll go now live to hasan minhaj. hasan, where are you right now? >> as you can see, i'm being lowered deeper into an active volcano and i cannot stress this enough, everyone needs to stay inside and watch me as i experience the volcano firsthand. ah -- the lava is very hot -- and so are the ratings. >> trevor: god speed, hasan. finally, ladies and gentlemen, live to roy wood, jr.!

roy wood, jr.! ( cheers and applause ) roy -- >> how are you doing? >> trevor: what's going on over where you are? >> trevor, i don't want you to panic, but this is probably the scariest situation i've ever been in in my life. >> trevor: oh, no, roy, what is it? is it a hurricane, an earthquake? >> even scarier, trevor. i'm a black man in a white neighborhood about to put on my hoodie. >> trevor: no! roy, roy! what are you doing? >> stay indoors, trevor! >> trevor: i will, roy. and you're so beautiful, man. take the hoodie off, roy! take the hoodie off, roy! ( cheers and a we just got to take it one game at a time. next question. odell! can you repeat everything you just said? my livestream won't load. (blows whistle) technical foul! wrong sport. wrong network. see, you need unlimited on verizon. it's america's largest, most reliable 4g lte network. it won't let you down in places like this. even in the strike zone!

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." it's been almost a month since president trump fired steve bannon, his chief strategist and human sloppy joe. ( laughter ) >> trevor: now, during his time with trump, bannon operated from the shadows, but last night he braved the lights of "60 minutes" to give his first major tv interview and everyone immediately said, okay, this (bleep) should have stayed in the shadows. >> the republican establishment is trying to null fy'the 2016 election, that's a brutal fact. they need illegal aliens to fill the churches. where does the end? does it end in taking down the washington monument? i don't need affirmation of the main stream media. i don't care what they say. they can call me anti-semite, racist, they can call me anything they want. >> trevor: wow, it's like donald trump took a dump while he was tweeting and wished for that dump to be a real boy. ( laughter ) i will name it -- steve.

( laughter ) last night's bannon interview wasn't particularly eye opening. mostly he just willingly confirmed he is who we thought he was, a radical nationalist who believes donald trump will be instrumental in tearing down the establishment. but one moment really showed how all-in he is on trump. >> the campaign's biggest crisis was an october surprise when an 2005 video surfaced of mr. trump using vulgar language to describe encounters with women. he made those remarks on a bus to tv host billy bush. >> billy bush saturday to me is a litmus test. when you side with a man, you side with him, okay? the good and the bad. you can criticize him behind but when you side with him you have to side with him. >> trevor: man, that's loyalty. even after trump fired bannon, he's still going to fight for him from outside the white house. if donald trump ever killed someone, bannon will be the guy driving the white supremacist bronco. ( laughter ) i don't know if you noticed, but

bannon has a very interesting way of rebranding the infamous donald trump pussy-grabbing scandal. >> billy bush saturday to me is a litmus test. christie because of billy bush weekend was not looked at for a cabinet position. >> you took names on billy bush sunday. >> i did. >> he wasn't with you on billy bush weekend and therefore doesn't get a cabinet position. >> that's what billy bush weekend. ( laughter ) >> trevor: billy bush weekend? billy bush was watching the video saying, come on, man! i was just on the bus! you can't name something after someone who happened to be there. that's like jask assassination motorcade drivers bad day. you could describe it that way but that's not why it's famous. bannon known for opposition to immigration. he did not budge. >> people have been able to come here, find a place, contribute

to the economy. that's what immigration has been in america. >> you couldn't be more dead wrong. america was built on her citizens. >> we're all immigrants, except the native americans. >> that's leftist. charlie, that's beneath you. america is build on citizens. 19th century, control of borders. economic nationalism is what this country was build on. >> trevor: in the recipe of how to make america, i feel like steve bannon left out a crucial ingredient. he's like an economic nationalism closed borders. that's what this country was. if he was making a cake, why was the cake not -- oh, slavery! i forgot the slaves. they took down the statutes and steve bannon forgot the history. they were right. ( laughter ) i don't know why he's fighting about this. we all know america is a nation of immigrants. just for one, we called a professional genealogist who found out steve bannon's great

great grandfather lawrence bannon arrived in the u.s. from ireland by the 1850s at a time when america's borders were so open irishmen could walk into the country with no passports, no visas, no background checks of any kind. so in many ways, steve bannon's great grandfather was a dreamer. yeah, and his great-grandson is a (bleep) nigh nightmare. ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) anyway, bannon held his own in last night's interview, but there were times when you could tell charlie rose was getting under his skin. just look at his face when he's asked questions he doesn't like. >> you know this white house leaks like nobody's ever seen a white house leak and that's where the reporters are getting the story, and they're getting the story about conflict between you and h.r. mcmaster, stories about conflict wean between you and jared kushner. ( laughter ) >> trevor: what the hell is that? like, what is that?

i almost felt like if this interview had gone on any longer, i would have been seriously worried about the safety of charlie rose. >> trevor: and that's where the reporters are getting the story. they're getting the story about conflict between you and h.r. mcmaster. ( sound of lizard ) >> trevor: wow! we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause ) mom, i just saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to geico. i should take a closer look at geico... you know, geico can help you save money on your homeowners insurance too? great! geico can help insure our mountain chalet! how long have we been sawing this log? um, one hundred and fourteen years. man i thought my arm would be a lot more jacked by now.

i'm not even sure this is real wood. there's no butter in this churn. do my tris look okay? take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is an award winning actor whose new film is called "the mountain between us." >> are you okay is this. >> couple of bruises, few scratches, couple of cracked ribs, i got lucky. >> how long's it been? >> 36 hours. you okay? got plenty of water as long as we can melt the snow. got four packets of almonds, couple of candy bars, half-eaten sandwich and some cookies. >> what kind of cookies. >> what? >> trevor: please welcome idris elba!

( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> thank you very much! >> trevor: welcome back to the show. >> thanks, man. so nice to see you. >> trevor: good to see you again. >> just occurred to me that the answer to that question is obviously "your cookie." ( laughter ) sorry, i'm going to get fired now. >> trevor: you know what's funny, idris got to the show early, hanging out backstage. i said you're early. you're, like, yeah, man, where's the booze? i'm like i pray you don't come out drunk. i was hoping you would come out and be just like -- ( idris speaking like a drunken man ) ( laughter ) >> i told you i was going to do the drunken man thing. it's a skit. it's new. look, look, trevor, these guys -- ( laughter )

give me more love. >> trevor: you could be anything. let's talk about the film, the mountain between us. i don't want to give away much in the film, but it is a story that is set -- we see it in the trailer, so i'm not giving too much away. it's a plane crash. yourself and kate winslet play these two people who are flying on a tiny little plane that crashes and then you begin the journey of survival. >> yeah, i mean, it's a simple story, it really is, about survival and trust, and it's about two people that are very, very different who discover themselves. they have very different approaches to survival, and they discover themselves and then, you know, eventually, they make whoop whoop and then, um -- ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: what he's saying is -- what he's saying is they make a musical instrument that you play -- whoop whoop! whoop whoop! >> no spoilers, but it is a love story. >> trevor: right.

>> i think, actually, in this day and age in filmmaking, films are a great way to, you know, express an idea, and i think we need films that express love. i think we really do at this point. and this movie is about that. it's about the perilous journey towards trust when you don't know someone. and, of course, you know, you put a man -- a black man in minus 38, you know, there is some drama going to happen. ( laughter ) >> trevor: is it just a movie about a black man fighting snow? ( laughter ) that's essentially what it is. ( laughter ) oh, man. >> but i really enjoy making it. we shot it in canada, in minus 38. >> trevor: right. >> and, you know, there was no green screen. i mean, it was real. kate winslet, she's a pro, a goddess of an actor, and we had a great time. >> trevor: can i tell you, so, like, i went to watch the movie with a woman, and then i didn't

appreciate you being as sexy as you were. ( laughter ) because it's not, like, nice to sit next to someone who the whole time in the movie is just, like, mmm... ( laughter ) and i'm just, like, i hope you will choke on this popcorn. ( laughter ) then idris will have to come save you. ( laughter ) was it different for you playing this? it's subtle and really beautiful and you were mad sexy in this story. >> thanks, trevor! >> trevor: in ways we've never seen you before. >> thanks, man. ( laughter ) >> trevor: come on! come on! >> that's a compliment, thank you very much. you know, the truth of the matter is the film wasn't designed for me to be sexy or anything in it. >> trevor: right. >> i think, though, there is something beautiful about two people who fall in love in the face of adversity and cold and

all that. >> trevor: yeah. >> and boning. ( laughter ) but, no, there is something beautiful about the simplicity of it. listen, you're right. i play extreme characters. this isn't an extreme character. he's a brain surgeon, actually. >> trevor: right. >> see? see? i do know what i'm talking about. he's a brain surgeon, and, you know, he's no survivalist. >> trevor: right. >> she's the survivalist in the movie. but his logic gets him to a certain point and her heart gets him to a certain point. >> trevor: before i let you go, what are you excited about coming up in the feature? you're directing, acting, fighting all over the world. what are we looking for? >> honestly, rest. >> trevor: right. >> i'm actually really truly doing some comedy, man. i shouldn't say it but i'm doing a show that surrounded by my

deejaying and it's a comedy. >> trevor: i'm super excited. comedian/deejay. looking forward to it. thanks for being on the show. >> i love you. >> trevor: "the mountain between us" will be in theaters october 6. you want to watch this movie. idris elba, everybody. we'll be right back!
