Trump Launches AI-Powered Government Website | with Hailee Steinfeld, Daniel Kaluuya, Justin Verlander | Tuesday, September 29

0:05From Studio 6P and Rockabunders Center in the Heart of New York City, into Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Tonight, joining Jimmy and his guests, Hailee Steinfeld, Daniel Kaluuya, Justin Verlander, and featuring the legendary Roots Crew. 23.9. And now, here he is. Jimmy Fallon!

1:00Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy yourself, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show! This is it! Oh, yeah. That's right, you guys. Today is National Coffee Day. Yeah. If you celebrate it, I hope you enjoy this show and the next five hours of shows after us. This morning, I stopped by Dunkin' Donuts, and I can tell they appreciate me as a customer, because they made a little heart on top of my latte. Aw. Can we see it? Isn't that nice? Oh. That's fantastic. That's so... They love me there. They love me there. They love you. They love me there. Well, guys, artificial intelligence continues to dominate the news, and today in Washington, President Trump unveiled a new AI-powered website that joins thousands of government sites into one called America.gov.

1:49Russian hackers were like, this will save us so much time. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah, everyone's afraid of A.I. and nobody trusts the federal government, so Trump was like, let's combine them. Let's, uh... Like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of Doom. Yeah. Yeah, Trump announced a website at a big A.I. event that was billed as an extraordinary gathering of America's greatest leaders, builders, and innovators. So not the people who did the reflecting pool. Oh. Yeah, Trump unveiled America.gov. Here's the actual homepage. This is real. That's it.

2:27That's real. So, for example, in that text box, you could type in questions like, how can I start a college fund for my child? Or you could write something like, why does the homepage of America.gov have a photo of a kid laid out face first on the ice? Or you could even write, is that kid okay? It seems like someone should help him. Or is this some sort of metaphor for the state of the country? And, of course, you could always just write, Honestly, I'd rather just see another AI photo of Trump riding a Jesus eagle. There you go. I mean, it's bizarre. That's right. Trump just debuted at America.gov, and he's really excited about his new AI chatbot.

3:12Listen to what he's saying behind closed doors.

3:24Judgment Day? No. The sexy robots from Austin Powers? No. WALL-E? It's got Wall in the name. I like that. No. Roomba? No. Mike Pence? No. Optimus Prime? No. Siri? How can I help you? Stop it. You're worse than Alexa. How can I help you? Not now, idiot. You call me dad? No! That's it. Maybe whatever you want. Can I take a nap now? Sure. Yay! Interesting. What's up behind your... Ha, ha, ha.

3:51Get this. Apparently, former White House press secretary Caroline Levitt is shopping a memoir about her time working for President Trump. Yep, it's called I'm Not Gonna Answer That, and it's just 200 blank pages. Switching gears, I read that France's grape harvest was damaged by the summer heat waves, causing champagne production to sink to its lowest point in 70 years. Here to share her thoughts is Trish Pickett, an aunt who loves wine. Hi, Jimmy! I lost my watch. Is it wine o 'clock? or wine 30. I'm kidding! Right. So, how do you feel about champagne production falling so low? Not good, Jimmy.

4:35You know what I always say? Champagne for my real friends, champagne for my sham friends. Heh-heh.

4:46Isn't it champagne for my real friends real pain for my sham friends? Uh, Jimmy, I don't care whether you're my friend or not. I just want everyone to have champagne. Yes! Oh, yes. The last time France had this little wine, it's because I took a Galentine's Day trip there with my friends Cheryl and Suzanne, and we drank it all. Next day, I woke up at four in the afternoon in the middle of the Louvre, face down on top of the Mona Lisa. And let me tell you, she wasn't smiling, Jimmy, okay? No. I kind of... So you particularly enjoy French wines? Oh, of course, Jimmy. That's why I shop at the finest French boutique wine shop.

5:38Yeah. Let me guess, Target? No, smartass! It's just a normal wine shop. I usually pick up a bottle on my way back from JCPenney and drink it with my dinner from Boston Marquet. So you must be pretty sad about this news. Oh, of course I am. Think about all those dead grapes. They were supposed to achieve their highest purpose, to get stomped, fermented, and tossed back by me, Cheryl, and Suzanne at Mahjong night. Yeah. But instead, they suffered the saddest fate of all, turning into shriveled little raisins that nobody wants on Halloween. I could just make you cry. Oh, no, no, no, Trish, no, no, no.

6:21I know this is really hard for you, but please don't cry. It's okay, Jimmy. My makeup's waterproof, so... See? Good as new. Oh, my God. And who loves wine, everyone? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, JCPenney. Waterproof mascara. Some entertainment news. Netflix just revealed the cast for the next season of Love is Blind, which will take place in Boston. Ooh. Should be an interesting season, because there's nothing sexier than hearing a Boston accent through a wall. Do you ever go on Tinder? We have a great show. Hailey Steinfeld is here tonight! All right.

7:07Daniel Kaluuya is joining us.

7:12Justin Verlander is here. Stick around. We'll be right back with Hailey Stival, everybody. Come on back. With the vibe like a person, a person, a person, and that's... We got your props for women before something I like that. Come on, come on. Our first guest is an Oscar-nominated actor who stars in the new movie Hexed, which opens in theaters November 25th. Everyone, please welcome Hailey Steinfeld!

7:50Always great to see you. Thank you so much for coming back. So much has happened since the last time you were on our show. You got married. Congratulations. Thank you. And you had a baby. Congratulations! Oh, my God! You're the best. Thank you. Your husband, Josh Allen, is the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. That he is. And you're having a good start this season. I sure are. 3-0. That's right. Do you guys get... Are you superstitious at all? We're a little-stitious, yeah. A little-stitious? Yeah. How can you not be? Just a little stitious, yeah. Yeah, but, you know... Knock on wood. I don't know.

8:25It's all happening. Yeah, it's good. It's all happening. Also, the last time you were here, you were about to release the movie Sinners. Yes. Thank you. It came out. Congratulations. It was one of the biggest movies of the year. It was nominated for more Oscars than any movie in history. Crazy. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Come on, you were great in it. Thank you, thank you. What an honor to be a part of something so incredible. Oh, my God, you can only hope. I mean, you can only dream that something you love and are that passionate about has that impact that that did, half the impact that that did on the world.

9:00I'm so grateful to be a part of it. You couldn't make the Oscars because you were right about to have the baby. That's right. But did you watch it for a moment? Oh, my God, of course I watched it. Are you kidding me? Yeah, of course. Yeah, I was there with my bowl of popcorn and my... Oh, were you? Big belly. Yeah, and your co-star, Michael B. Jordan, gave you a nice shout-out. He did. Yeah, I had to feel nice. Oh, my God. I mean, like, I... Yeah, that bowl of popcorn was filled with tears. Yeah. I really... It was like this sort of moment of feeling so far because I couldn't be there, and it was such an amazing, long journey that we were all on together, and then in that moment, I felt like I was right there with all of them, and that was so, so wonderful of Michael to do, and I'm so beyond proud of him, and he is so deserving.

9:42Everyone in that movie... I mean, I couldn't think of more deserving people. Did you know it was going to be a hit when you were filming it? Oh, man, I'd like... Well, you hope, obviously. Yeah, you hope, but... I don't think so. I mean, like, you might have days where you're like, this feels good. This feels like what we're on to might be something real cool. And then there were days where we all looked at each other and we were like, is this good? Is this cool? Not that we were questioning the man in charge there, but it was just like we were, you know, we had night shoot on night shoot on night shoot, covered in blood and dirt and bug bites and all these things.

10:13We had those moments of delirium where we were just like, please, God, tell me what we're doing. The work paid off. The work paid off. Congratulations.

10:24One of our other guests tonight, Daniel Kaluuya, you said that he had maybe a little something to do with you working with... So Daniel and I worked on the Spider-Verse films together. And he is a dear friend. Love him. Shout out, Daniel. Yeah, we were in the middle of doing press for the movie, and Ryan Coogler, none other than Ryan Coogler, came up in conversation, and he was just like, if you ever have the opportunity, do not walk, run. And he gave me the most incredible insight to who he is as a person, not only... How is Ryan Kugler as the director? I can't... We don't have enough time. Really?

10:59I will tell you, that man is the most incredible human being, partner, leader. Dedicated. I'm beyond, beyond words. And one thing I love so much about working with him, and this kind of tied back to a story that Daniel had shared with me was, you know, you're on set, there's hundreds of people. And there's oftentimes where, you know, directors in Video Village, you're far off in the set or whatever, and they're shouting out a note to you, right? And sometimes you can't hear it, it gets lost in translation, and or you're just feeling super vulnerable now that everyone knows the note you were given and you have to like, do it.

11:35If you don't, then everyone knows you missed the mark. And Ryan would find his way to you, no matter the distance. He would come and whisper in your ear, you were the only person that heard exactly what he was after. And it just made you feel so grounded and connected. And he sets everyone up for success. And you feel that the minute you meet him. Come on. I love hearing that. That's great. So thank you. Let's get into this. Before we get into Hex, though, there's a rumor that you might be in Avengers Doomsday. Just saying. You don't have to say. But then when they announced the cast list, I didn't see your chair there, so I go, maybe you're not in it.

12:12Well, I didn't see it either. My husband actually called me the other day and was like, are you in this? And I was like, you know, I actually have no idea. You don't know if you're in it? Wow. Time will tell. Wow. All right. All right. I tried. I tried. I tried. Let's talk about Hexed. You're voicing a character in a giant brand-new Disney film. That's got to be a dream come true right there as well. Such a dream come true. I mean, like, yeah, you jump at the opportunity to be a part of a Disney animated original. Come on. I started this project when I was pregnant and finished it after my baby was born, so it was really such an amazing sort of, like, transformative time in my life, and I'm playing this amazing character, Billie, who is this rebellious sort of unconventional teen who discovers this secret about herself that she is a witch and has magical powers.

13:08Yeah. And she has a very, uh, understandably, I can say this now, protective mother, um, who sort of harnesses that, that power from her and kind of keeps that as, uh, she's the one that holds, you know, holds that news back from her as long as she can. Yeah. Um, and it really is this magical, magical coming-of-age story and, and a story of self-discovery and, um, learning how to use that magic within you and that power within you for good. Come on. That's how you do it. Baby's gonna love that one. Hailey Steinfeld, everyone! Hex is in theaters November 25th. Hailey and I are playing a fun game after the break.

13:45Stick around. Come on back.

13:54Welcome back, everybody. We're hanging out with Hailey Steinfeld now. Hailey... Hellie stars in the new Disney movie, Hexed in theaters, November 25th.

We're going to grab a card which has a category on it. We're going to count to three and both say something in that category at the same time. Okay. Our goal is to not say the same thing. Okay? Okay. Yeah. Each round will get more specific. We're going to see how many times we can not say the same thing.

18:24Oh, come on! Daniel Kaluuya, back! Back in the building. How you doing? How you doing? Everything good? I'm good, man. I'm good. How are you? I'm doing great. Were you watching the World Cup? I know you're a big England fan. You're a big soccer fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went to two games. I went to two games. I went to England-Panama and then went to the World Cup final. You did go to the final. Went to the final. And then, oh, hey, Jersey. Was it fun? Yeah. It was sick, man. It was sick. It was like, you know what it is? Like, my earliest memory of life is 1994. You know what I mean? You know when you, like, remember a year for the first time?

18:58Yeah. So it was 1994. And then I remember 1994 World Cup was in America. And so then I was here in the World Cup finals. Like, raw, man, look, I made it. Wow, you did make it. First World Cup I remember, and now I'm at the final at a World Cup in America. Yeah, and you're you. But I got to say, I think everything's going great in my life. I'm so happy. But I'm not you. I don't have my own statue. What are you talking about? You have your own statue in Leicester Square? Yeah, yeah, I do. What are you talking about? But congratulations! Thank you, bro. Is that surreal? I can't even get my head around it.

19:32Sometimes I just be like, yo, man, like, people look at me. I'm in London, some people think, like, oh, Rod. I mean, I went out to a party the next day, and I was like, and I think everyone just took me in. I was like, you've got a statue. And then it was just like, I didn't know how to process it. I just felt different. But then it goes away, and then everyone just treats you like normal. No. I don't know. I don't know. How do you feel about it? I don't know. Do you hang out there? I would eat lunch there every day of my life. In the pose. In the pose. I would be in the pose. In a pose. You know what it is?

20:06When, like, the next... Because the hotel, when we, like, did the kind of unveiling... Unveiling. Because I thought I was going to get punked, eh? And so I thought, I was like, am I getting punked? I don't know. I thought Ashton Cutcher was going to come out. But then I was staying in a hotel, like, above the statue. And then in the morning, I woke up, I looked down, and someone was just having a sandwich. Like, on it, sitting down. And I was like, whoa, that's crazy. That's part of their day. Like, they're just sitting there having a sandwich and just, like, thinking about someone that pissed off about or something.

20:32Yeah. It's just like you're part of someone's life. No, no, no. Yeah. Did you ever bring a date there? Be honest. You know, what would you do? I may have shown. I may have shown. You know what? You know how it goes, man. You know how it goes, man. You know how Chris knows, bro. No, I'm not perfect, bro. I'm flawed. I'm flawed. How did you do it? Did you just surprise and just go, Oh, that's weird. I just walked past.

21:04And then she was like, uh-huh. And then, uh-huh. And then... It's nuts, though. Doesn't everyone have a statue? No, but it's nuts. You got a, like, it's just they got a process. Like, what do you say? Like, you have to get... How do you tell them? You don't, right? What would you do? You just walk by and you go, oh. Hey, yeah. I mean, what other statues are around you? Is it just you? Is there other... No, it's Mary Poppins is around. There's Singing in the Rain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's around. That's good. There's Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Bean's there. Ooh, classic. Batman is there. And you. Yeah, me, bro.

21:41Wow. What was sick about it, what was sick about it, it was the public vote. It was the public vote. The public voted for who they wanted to, like, have it. So I owe a lot to the London people. Yeah, come on. That's my hometown. You got my vote, bud. That's my hometown, so that's love, man. I just might appreciate it. Helly Steinfeld was just out here, and she was saying nice things about you, and you guys worked together in Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse. Yeah. And your character, Spider-Punk, has his own spin-off coming out. Yeah, man. Congratulations, bud. Thank you, bro. Why do you think Spider-Punk became such a big deal?

22:18Why do people like him? It's really surreal for me. Sometimes you do things, and you're just carrying your life, and then so many people coming up to me, coming up to me. But I think in this day and age, being disobedient, is, like, people want to... People want to mess around, people want to mess about. And also, I think he's very caring, and I think now that's revolutionary. Like, caring about others. Like, caring about... It's punk! You mean, like, caring... Caring, like, caring that Miles is good. Everyone wants to extract from someone. If someone has something, like, Miles is a hero and he has something, everyone's trying to use it for what he wants and what they want to do, what they're...

22:50And he's like, like, yo, what's best for you? Wow. That's punk now. Wow! That's what I'm telling you. Yeah. Yeah. That's my view. I like that. And I think punks are like, they're softies. They're lovely. They're lovely. They just got this, like, aesthetic that just like... They're like hedgehogs. Yeah, yeah. Congrats on the movie Misty Green, by the way. What do we say? What is Misty Green about? Misty Green's about this actress called Misty Green who is a former Emmy winner. She's fantastic. Rosalind's amazing, bro. Rosalind's a real deal, man.

Did you know Chris? I actually met him at Donald Glover at SNL. And I saw him at the after party. And then I kept on bumping into him, like, outside, like, random places. And he was like, I got a movie for you. And I was like, what? I got a pop! I got it.

23:55That's pretty good, man. That's good. And then, uh, I got a part. I was like, well, yeah, where's this part, bro? Like, yeah, it never happened. But then he's a man of his word. Yeah, he's a man of his word. He came. He circled back years later, and he said, yo, I want you to be part of this thing that I'm working on. And the part is written so well, and so amazing. He's lucky, man. You're a real talent. Come on, bud. Daniel Kaluuya! What's up? Misty Green is in select theaters October 9th and everywhere October 16th.

And I saw him at the after party. And then I kept on bumping into him outside, like, random places. And he was like, I got a movie for you. And I was like, what? I got a part! I got it.

30:29That's pretty good, man. That's good. And then Killer's like, I got a part. I was like, well, yeah, where's this part, bro? Like, yeah, it never happened. He's a man of his word. Yeah, he's a man of his word. He came. He came. He circled back years later, and he said, yo, I want you to be part of this thing that I'm working on. And the part is written so well and so amazing. He's lucky, man. You're a real talent. Daniel Kaluuya! What's up? Misty Green is in select theaters October 9th and everywhere October 16th. We're talking to Justin Berlander after the break. Stick around.

31:14Welcome back. Our next guest is one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history. He's a 10-time All-Star. He's a three-time Cy Young winner.

31:27He's a two-time World Series champion. Please welcome Justin Verlander!

31:42Welcome back to the show, Justin. You look fantastic. On Saturday, after 21 seasons and a legendary career, you made your final Major League Baseball start. Yeah. Wow. There was one moment in particular that was emotional for everybody. It totally got me. On Saturday, they were taking you out of the game. And usually the manager comes to the mound and takes you out. Instead, your daughter came out. And I got to show... Yeah. I got to show this for you. Take a look at this.

32:36Thank you! Come on, bud! Come on! You're gonna get me again. Whoo! When you saw your daughter running out, did you have any idea that that was going to happen? No, totally blindsided. Our manager, A.J. Hinch, and my wife, Kate, set it up. We love Kate. Yeah, she loves you. Totally, totally blindsided. And I just... So I'm looking at our manager walking out on the field. Yeah, and already it's emotional, because it's... Totally. So the whole weekend leading up to it is very emotional for me, knowing, you know, my whole life is, you know, changing. Yeah. to an end, the baseball chapter anyway. And so I see AJ walk out there, and out of the corner of my eye, I see my daughter start running at me, and just, like, the culmination of all these emotions in my...

33:22I mean, it just hit me. I mean, you saw the reaction. But just to see a big guy like you have emotion, you know, it's like... Everyone, everyone fell in love with that clip. Was your daughter... Was she, like, surprised? What did you say to her? Well, when she got out there, I mean, she gave me this amazing hug, and, you know, I don't... She's never seen me cry like that. So I was, like... I'm, like, holding over her, like, convulsing. Yes. And, you know, all that popped in my head was, like, I hope she knows I'm okay. So I, like, whispered to her, like, I'm so happy. I'm actually happy. I'm really happy.

33:58This is actual happy crying. This is happy crying. Yeah. I have a picture of your first pitch you ever did in Major League Baseball. And I have a picture of your last pitch. What a career. What's the difference between these two guys? I mean, the first thing I see is about 50 pounds and some gray hair. No, no, no. You know, honestly, like, I mean, this is just a young kid. I mean, playing 21 years in Major League Baseball, I mean, this kid was 21, 22 years old. And this is a 43-year-old man with a family at home. and just that the journey in between. I see a lot of time and a lot of growth. Yeah.

34:47Have you... Have you ever just gone to a baseball game to watch a game? Uh, no, no. No. When was the last time you did it? Are you ready for it? No. You know, actually, one of the perks that major league players get after 10 years of service, I believe it is, is you get this gold card. It's, like, gold-plated. and that allows you... An actual gold card? Yeah, it's an actual gold card. I've lost mine. It's embarrassing to say. So maybe after 20 years, they send you a new one. They haven't gotten it yet. What do you get with the card? So you get... You can take it to any major league game and you get, like, two of the best seats in-house that are available just for free.

35:23I don't know... I don't really have any plans to use it, though. I've seen a lot of baseball. Yeah. Have you ever, like, had a hot dog at a stadium? Like the traditional stadium food? Yes, or stadium food. The ice cream out of the hat. Yes, the little helmet, yes. I have to confess that on occasion, when I'm having the urge, I'll send one of the clubhouse attendants up to the stadium to go get some of the junk food. Yeah, respect. Yeah. Good. If there's one fan base that is happy, remotely happy about your retirement, it would be Yankee fans. Because you have faced the Yankees in six postseason, and you've won every single one.

36:03So we're all happy that you've stopped What are Yankee fans like? In the stadium or outside the stadium? Give me a taste in the book I don't know, I mean, I can't give you too much of a taste in the stadium Okay, good, not on television Not on television But I do appreciate it, I honestly kind of love it It gets me going Outside the stadium, like walking around the city Really quite amazing They're wonderful baseball fans They're very knowledgeable, very respectful I mean, even walking around the city this morning, today, a lot of people were like, hey, congratulations on your retirement. See?

36:36Just like mutual respect. Yeah, come on. It is great. Yeah. I want to say congrats again on an amazing career. Thank you for always coming by the show and for being a great guy. And I think next stop for you, Cooperstown, buddy. Congratulations. You're the best. Thank you. That's Justin Verlander, everybody.
