We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. February 19, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York,

this is the day to show everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. I'm Trevor Noah. You guys are amazing. Wow! Wow! Oh wow! Let's get into it. Let's get into everyone. Our guest tonight is an NBA star and an activist for democracy and his native turpe, Turkey. And there's Cancer is joining us everybody. Also on the show, Your Weave is now legally protected.

Bernie is back and older than ever and the Jassy Smollett story gets even weirder. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines. ISIS. Now that the dreadful terrorist organization has been almost completely defeated in Syria, I think we can all admit that that's a pretty cool flag. I mean, I'm not saying I would join just because of that, but I'd look at the brochure. I'm just saying now that they're gone, like we can talk about this, right? Anyway, hundreds of ISIS members have been rounded up as prisoners of war. And now there's a new battle over who has to deal with them. President Trump is calling on European nations to take in hundreds of ISIS fighters who've been captured in Syria

and put them on trial. He's warning more than 800 prisoners could make their way to Europe as ISIS is ready to fall. And if they're not tried in Europe, the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, to to to to to to to to to tho, to, to, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, to, to, to, to, to, to to, to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to ready to fall. And if they're not tried in Europe, the President claims the alternative would be to release them. The alternative would be to release them? You know, what's weird about Trump is that I think he's really good at identifying problems, but his solutions are genuinely the worst. Because he is right. The US can't keep prisoners of war detained forever.

But the solution can't be to just let them go. What do we do with them? All right, ISIS, you fly free now. Like he does this all the time. He identifies the problem and then he's solution is crazy. Illegal immigration is a problem. Build a wall, horrible solution.

The fossil fuel industry is declining with the jobs. Yeah, but force people to use coal horrible solution. My marriage is struggling. I know I'll f-feek a porn star. Horrible solution. Moving on. Discrimination. It can take many forms. It can be blatant, you know, a restaurant refusing to serve you because of the color of your skin. Or it can be subtle. A restaurant refusing to serve you because you forgot to put on pants. It was a busy day I got distracted. Okay, I'm sorry Denny's. But now New York City is taking aim at a form of discrimination that is truly insidious. New York City is taking a stand against hairstyle discrimination. Employers can no longer ban natural hair or ethnic hairstyles. That's under groundbreaking new guidelines by the City's Human Rights Commission. They say the change was largely prompted by negative stereotypes that hairstyles like afros, braids, or

dreadlocks are unprofessional. Yes, finally. Finally, this is great news. Because white people may not know this, you may not be aware of this, but there are a lot of employers who would refuse to hire or promote black workers because their natural hair is seen as unprofessional. Yeah, and because of this many black people are held back. You know, like Questlove, he actually wanted to be an accountant. Yes.

But because of his afro, this poor man was forced to become a rock a a a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a rock star. That's not his dream. He wants to balance checks. So this is a great law. Normal discrimination based on hair. Although I do think there should be some flexibility. Like, obviously you shouldn't be allowed to discriminate against a black person if they have dreadlocks. But if it's a white person with dreadlocks, discrimination should be mandatory.

That should be the law Like if a white dude have dreadlocks It should be forced like you should be forced to like Mock him and kick him out of his job I'm joking I'm joking I'm joking white dudes with dreadlocks don't have jobs. All right. Let's move on. Let's move on finally this is a weird story the lightsaber. It's the second most stroke wand by star was fans and you may mock them, thu can mock them at the Olympics. It's now easier for Star Wars fans to act out their fantasies if they're in France, the French Fencing Federation, originally and officially recognizing light saber dueling as a competitive sport. That means LED lit,

polycarbonate, Star Wars replicas have the same status as blades used by Olympic fencers. Oh, hell yeah! This is so dope. Are you kidding me? This is fun. Lightsaber battles at the Olympics. They're fighting competitively.

And to make it more exciting for these professional lightsaber fights, the winner of the tournament gets to see a boob for the first time. Yeah! Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. And th. And th. And th. And to to to to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the. And th. And th, th. And th. th. thi. thi. the, the, the, the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the, the, the, the winner of the tournament gets to see a boob for the first time. Yeah! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And now I know there's a lot of haters out there that are like, oh, this isn't a real sport. It's just some made up nonsense. Yeah. And you know what? All sports are made up nonsense. I don't know if you've seen the Olympics, but it's all made up nonsense. A guy pushes a ball off of his shoulder, and they give him a gold medal. What is that?

That's not a sport? Then another guy's like, what if we put a ball on the end of a chain? They string that around. Yeah, you can have a gold medal too. It's just as ridiculous. I mean, there's that22 days until the presidential election, which doesn't seem too close.

But next thing you know, you're gonna blink and it'll only be 612 days away. That's right, the home stretch. So let's check in on the Democratic Party campaign with our ongoing segment, World War D. Every day, the field of Democratic candidates gets bigger and bigger. And this morning, it didn't just get bigger, it got louder. Bernie is back. Bernie Sanders, the 2016 runner-up officially entering a crowded field of Democratic

candidates for the 2020 presidential nomination. Hi, I'm Bernie Sanders. I'm running for president. Our campaign is about taking on the powerful special interests that dominate our economic and political life. I'm talking about Wall Street, the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the fossil fuel industry, the military industrial complex, the private prison industry, and the private insurance companies, the drug companies, the fossil fuel industry, the military industrial complex, the private prison industry, and the large multinational corporations.

Oh, damn! You know, Bernie has entered the race. And did you hear his list of enemies? This guy doesn't mess around. Yeah, he didn't come to play. He was like, big Banks, Little Banks, Tyra Banks, I'm shutting you all down. You're all going down. And you can tell that Bernie's serious about winning, because he didn't rub his hair with a balloon before filming this video. He's serious now.

He's in it. No balloon this time. We're going smooth. Now, if Bernie were to win the presidency, he would become the oldest American president ever. Yes, and I mean that literally. He was born a few months before George Washington. But, but don't let Bernie's age fool you. This guy is as fisty as ever. Just look at how he responded to Howard Schultz threatening the Democratic Party.

Howard Schultz has now said he would not run as an independent if the Democrats nominated a moderate. Oh, isn't that nice? Why is Howard Schultz on every television solution in this country? Why are you quoting Howard Schultz? Because he's a billionaire. You know, I've missed Bernie so much. Oh, isn't that nice? Oh, isn't that nice?

Because every other politician would respond to that answer in like a politician-y way that would be like, well I believe Howard Schultz entering the race would be irresponsible. At this time, Bernie's just like, Howard Schultz can run for president of my ass. So Bernie's in the race, people. He's officially in the race. And he joins what is probably the largest the largest the largest largest largest largest the largest largest largest the largest largest the largest the largest the largest largest the largest the largest the largest the largest the largest the largest the largest the largest the largest the largest the in the race, people. He's officially in the race. And he joins what is probably the largest democratic primary field in modern history. Just look at all those faces. Look at all those faces.

You could have a different Democrat for every month of the year. And can I be honest with you, one of the things I've really enjoyed so far is some of the scandals that have plagued the Democratic candidates. Because with Trump, his scandals are so massive and exhausting. It's like, sex with a porn star, conflicts of interest, corruption in these cabinet. It's been refreshing to have old school silly scandals again, you know? It's like, yeah, you know, old school politics. For instance, did you guys know that Kirsten Jilibran eats chicken wrong?

The light-hard gaff from a fellow Democratic contender for the presidency. This is Kirsten Jilabran in South Carolina. You know, in New York you eat pizza with your hands. Well in South Carolina, don't get caught eating the local delicacy fried chicken. Wow. That's really good. Sure. Uh, do you eat? Do you ask our fingers or four to this? Uh, you guys get it? Okay, okay.

I don't make sure I didn't want to be true. Yep, that shows you the difference between the Democrats and Donald Trump. Trump grabs the pussy. Democrats will last permission just to touch the food. Do I have their their their their their their thuk. Do I thuk. Do I thuk. Do I thuk. Do I thuk. Do I thuk. Do I thuk. Do I have to put my hand on this chicken thigh? Can I do that? And look, I don't think it's a big deal, but I do think it's weird that she had to ask, how do you eat fried chicken?

Like, what are the questions that she's gonna ask about on the campaign trail? So when I kiss the baby, do I use tongue? chicken scandal. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is facing questions about her drug use, but not the questions you might expect. Well Kamala Harris, who is currently a senator from the Great State of California, was on the breakfast club. She talked about smoking pot and the music she listened to when she was in college. Listen to this. Have you ever smoked? I have. Okay. I mean, what was it in college? Uh-huh.

What were you listening to to when you was high? What was on? What's wrong with it? Oh my goodness. Oh yeah, definitely Snoop. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Tupac, for sure.

Okay. That's kind of odd. In 1986. In 1991 is when Tupac Shakur ended up being so popular, and that was when his first album was released. So that was five years later. And 1993 is when Snoop Dog emerged. That's when his first album was released. So I'm not too sure that she remembered the musicians as well.

Fox News is priceless, man. Because like every day President Trump will come out and say some crazy shit like, Ted Cruz's dad killed JFK. And they're like, well, the truth, we will never know for sure. I mean, nobody knows. Then Kamala says she got high while listening to Snoop in college and suddenly they're the Robert Mullers of hip hop. They're just like, we've called every medical school in the country and they have no record of a Dr. Dre, what's going on here?

So just to recap what the scandal is here, Kamala said she smoked weed in college, and then she said she listened to Snoop Dog when she smoked weed, but Snoop Dog's album didn't come out until later on. Yeah. But I get why it can't be confusing for her, because whenever anyone smokes weed, they hear Snoop Dog. That's just what happens. When the first caveman tried weeded w weeeeeeeeehae, hee, hee, the th, toe, toe, th, toe, toe, th, toe, toe, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, toe, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they, th, th, th, th.e, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thr-s, tra, tra, tra, tra, trymea, tra, tra, tra, thea, thr-s.ea, thea, thea, thea, they hear Snoop Dog. That's just what happens. When the first caveman tried weed, he inhaled and he was like, mmm, la da da da da.

Da. Ha! Oh, oh, oh, oh. It's true. That's just how it works. Snoop Dog plays out of a vapeen whenever you smoke, all right? Just like how you hear Kid Rock whenever you crack open a nattie knife or how you hear Maroon 5 when you're completely sober. That's what happens. But maybe the most shocking scandal roiling the Democratic Party right now is that Corey Booker is a healthy eater. First off if Corey Booker

became president America would have its first vegan president. So is 2020 Democratic contender Corey Booker trying to impart his vegan animal-free diet on the rest of us? He says that eggs he discovered do not align with his spirit. Eggs do not align with his spirits? That sounds like a really classy way of saying eggs give me diarrhea. Corey Booker's walking out of the bathroom like you might want to give that a minute I had a spiritual crisis in there. But look I don't even understand how this is on the news. I say if Corey Booker wants to be a vegan president he should go for it.

His diet choices are his business. They don't affect anyone else. Or at least, that's what I thought. Good luck running for president, trying to take away meat. Are Democrats really trying to take the White House on a platform of banning meat? He wants to be the most powerful person in the world, and he wants to impose his meat rationing on the rest of us when you're eating a steak and you go, nom, yum, that is so delicious. Fine.

What does Corey Booker counter that with? So lock your freezers, save your meat now. You may need it. It would be very valuable, a great investment for years to come. Oh, man. You know, I'll tell you that, I feel so bad for people who to thak, thiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I'm, thi, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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 thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi. thi. thi. ttogether, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi I tell you that? I feel so bad for people who take Fox News seriously. It's gonna be so much work, because they're always telling you, like, the Democrats are coming for your shit.

You've got to stockpile a lifetime supply of meat. You've got to stockpile guns. You've got to keep your fossil fuels, your Bibles, American flags, closet at your house that's just chaos, complete chaos. Fox News is like reverse Marie Condo. Just put everything in your house as long as it sparks rage! So all I'm saying is Bernie Sanders, welcome to the race and get ready because you'll probably be caught up in some dumb scandal in no time. Although I suspect when people do get upset, Bernie, I probably know what you'll say.

No- Oh, isn't that nice? We'll be right back. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches.

If you've been following the Jussie Smollett story, you know that a few weeks ago, the Empire actor said he was attacked by racist Trump supporters who beat him up, tied a rope around his neck and poured bleach on him. But now, police have found two Nigerian brothers who claim Jassy paid them to stage the attack. Now the police searched their house and they found bleach, they found masks and they found rope. So this is like the shortest CSI episode ever.

Yeah, all the evidence is right there. I'm surprised they didn't also find a the book the book themies. Now the police also took magazines from the brother's house. Everyone was like, why did they do that? Well, now we might know why. Investigators looking into the alleged hate crime against Empire actor Jesse Smolet are examining a threatening letter sent last month. The Empire star received a threatening letter at the Chicago Studios where his show is filmed. The words appeared to be spelled out with letters clipped from a magazine. On the letter, it had a stick figure hanging from a tree with a gun pointing towards it.

With the words that said, small let Jussie, you will die black. There was no address, but the return address it and big red, you know, like caps. Maga. Did I make that up too?? the word the word the word the word the word. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now, the word the word. the word, th. the word, th. the word, th. th. the word, th. th. the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, thi. thi. the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word. the word. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the return address it in big red, you know, like caps, MAGA. Did I make that up to? Now a source told our CBS Chicago station, WBBM, quote, when the letter didn't get enough attention, Smollett concocted the staged attack. For more on this crazy emerging story, we're joined now by our senior culture correspondent, Jibuki Young White's everybody! I'm not try to Jibuki, you've been following this story from the start, and now that it looks like it may have been staged, are you surprised?

I'm not surprised, but I'm disappointed. You know, this story's been weird for me, Trevor. As a gay person, I'm used to speaking on gay issues. As a black person, I'm used to speak on black issues. But I'm not used to them intercepting I'm inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter inter like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's thi, I's thi, I's thi, I'm thi, I's, thi, thi, thi, thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.eean, thi.augh, thi, to thi, thi.a, thi. thiii. thi. thi. thi, thi, issues, but I'm not used to them intercepting, except when like, someone's like, as a gay black person, do you think I could pull out the issues? Or like if RuPaul robbed a bank, that be the only other time. Yeah, that actually is true. You're looking at this as a gay person and as a black person.

And I'm also a part of a third community community community community community community community community community community community community community community that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that is that is that that is that is that is that is that is that is that is a that is a that is that is that is that is that is that has been devastated by this. The actor community, Trevor. Because of Jussie, everyone's gonna think actors are liars now, which technically we are because that's our job. But still, you know? And on top of that, I look like him. Well, actually, I don't really think you look like him. To white people I do. And hopefully, to whoever is casting the Jussie Smollett Lifetime movie. Because this story was made for lifetime, you know?

We're still piecing together leaks from the Chicago Police Department and more reliable sources like TMZ. But you couldn't have written a crazier plot. I mean, Trump supporters who watch Empire, a death threat letter made out of magazine clippings that's so dated, you know? Everyone knows if you're sending a death threat, you post that shit on Twitter. Well, Djibouki, I think you're getting ahead of yourself, though. The big question now is, like, why would Jussi Smonet do something like this? Why does an actor do anything, Trevor? Wait, hold on, let me do that again. Why do actors do anything, Trevor?

That was it. Use that one. Use that one. I don't know why he did it, man. I mean, if you wanted to raise awareness for LGBTQs, he should have just donated money. If you wanted attention, he could have just leaked, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, their, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi.. thi. too, too, too, too, too, too, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the And if you wanted to hang out with two guys at 2 a.m. Grindr is right there. Okay, but here's what I'm worried about, though. Won't this make it harder for victims

of real hate crimes to come forward and get justice? Not really, because that would have required people to have cared about queer people, specifically queer black people in the gay trans panic defense. It's a totally admissible legal defense where someone can get a lighter sentence for killing a gay or trans person by claiming the victim hit on them. Wait, are you being serious? Yes. No, in 47 states, including New York, someone could beat a gay person like me to death, and then go, well, I don't know you want to suck my their their their their their their their their their their their their the gay person like me to death and then go, well I don't know, you wanted to suck my dick.

And you know what? Maybe I did. But that's still not a good reason, you know? I mean, imagine if women could use that defense. There be no men left. None. None. And then, I don't know. Who would be left to buy all the three and one body wash shampoo shash shash shash shash shash shash shshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshshship. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th, th, th. th. tho. the, the, the, the, the the the the, the the, the, to to to to to to to to to to to who would be left to buy all the three-in-one body wash shampoo

and conditioning? Well, some of us are busy, we don't have time for lots of products, okay? But anyway, this is obviously unfortunate on so many levels. What is your takeaway going forward? Honestly, Trevor, I think that this is a teaching moment for us all. And personally, I've learned one really valuable lesson, which is that actors should not write their own projects. I mean, this thing had way too many plot holes. He totally miscast the villains.

I mean, two Nigerian Trump supporters. Like, you can't just cast black people as racist white people. This isn't Hamilton. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got an audition to prepare for. I hear there's a new role that might be opening up on Empire. And Sceme. Djibouki Youngwhite, everybody. We'll be right back here.

Get out of you, man. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a professional NBA basketball player who recently signed with the Portland Trail Blazers. Please welcome, Ann S. Cantor. Welcome to the show. Oh, I miss New York man. I miss the fans.

I love it. Yeah, yeah. Welcome to the show. I miss New York, man. I miss the fans. I love it. Yes. Yeah, you miss New York, but you just, you just, have you left already? I actually left, yes.

Yeah, you already gone. I pack all my stuff and I was, you know, six hours. Let's talk a little bit about this. For those who don't know how this works, to be a tocki, the, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to, the the to, to, to to, to, to, to, to, the, thethose who don't know how this works, because it's very different with soccer, for instance. I understand how soccer transfers work and stuff. But as an NBA player, one day you are playing for the Knicks, right? And then all of a sudden you're playing for Portland. How does that even work? Well, it's a very weird business. Because, I was playing with the GM and president, we had a meeting.

And then in an hour, I was now with the Knicks again. You know, they told me, hey, we released in you. You know, we know that you want to play. And I told them, I wish him good luck. And I just sound with the Nix fan. It's also interesting because like, like, so I was lucky enough to go and watch one of your lost games. And Anness is loved by the Nix fan. So people are cheering for you to come on. But then the team doesn't want to bring you on because they need to lose so that they

can't so that they can get a good draft pick next time. That's what I understand. Yeah, you can do they're all clapping. And you're sitting there, we want can't. And like the guys that are on the corner like, what are we, chop? What are we, chop? But that must have been amazing to have the feeling, right? I just want to say, man, from the day one, the whole Nix fans, give me a warm welcome up the whole MSG was going crazy. We want to chant it.

I'm like, you know, it's coming from the heart. So I just, I really want to appreciate it. That's amazing, man. And you are, you are, you're obviously, you're not from New Yorkers, you're today, you're the ground. You're not from New York because Yeah, no New Yorker would kiss the ground anywhere in New York. Yeah. But but are you excited for your new journey now? You're excited to be to be living in the home of the hipsters? Is that going to change your style now?
