What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking
Starting point is 00:01:32 about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. June 25th, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show day of show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in.
Starting point is 00:02:31 And thank you for coming out. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is a star film and television. Here to talk about her brand new TV show, The Rook. Olivia Mun is joining us everybody. But before that we've got to get into the news. And let's be honest for the past few days we've mainly been focused on three stories. America versus Iran, migrant children at the border and the latest Super Smash Brothers release the Democratic primary race. Yes,
Starting point is 00:03:04 my favorite move is the Joe Biden death massage. But even though those are the main stories, there are tons of other stories happening in the news. The truth is we just don't have the time to talk about them. Luckily, not enough time is just the right amount of time for a segment we call, Ain't Nobody Got Time for that. All right, let's kick it off with student debt. These crippling college loans are the reason that you're probably watching the daily show right now using your neighbor's Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 00:03:34 But there could be a new way to become debt-free. Just don't pay. All student debt. Gone in six months. This is a new plan being proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders. The College for All Act. It would create a new tax on Wall Street transactions. It would use that money to free some 45 million Americans
Starting point is 00:03:53 for more than a trillion dollars in student debt. Senator Sanders' plan would also make public colleges tuition free. Today we are in fact offering a revolutionary proposal. The American people bailed out Wall Street. Now it is time for Wall Street to come to the aid of the middle class of this country. Bernie! Bernie! Wow!
Starting point is 00:04:22 The man has a plan to get rid of all student debt in six months. Imagine that, huh? Six months. Yeah, student debt is about to get canceled like someone dug up its old tweets. That's what's about to happen. And you know what, I'm always impressed by how passionate Bernie is about this issue. Especially because it doesn't affect him. He doesn't have student debts. I mean, I don't think he does. Well, I don't know. Did they have student loans in ancient Greece? I don't know. He's like, tell Socrates,
Starting point is 00:04:50 I will not be paying 400 goats for that philosophy class. Now, some people are saying that the reason Bernie came out with this revolutionary plan is because he wants to one up Elizabeth Warren's plan, right? She proposed forgiving most student debts. Now Bernie comes back with forgiving all student debts. Yeah, which means Warren's got to come back even harder now. Yeah, she's got to be like, no debt and free textbooks. Yeah, and then Bernie's gonna come back and be like, oh yeah, free textbooks and I'll loan you one of my socks to put on the door when you're getting lucky.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Now look, if we had more time, we could compare Bernie's college plan to Elizabeth Warren's plan and we could discuss whether or not the Wall Street tax would actually work to get rid of student debt, but we can't spend time on this. We can't spend all our time on college, because high schools in America are facing a new challenge of their own. Many schools named after Robert E. Lee are looking for a new identity. About a hundred schools across the country are named after the Confederate general. The schools are looking for ways to keep the name Lee by honoring other historical figures. Keeping part of the school's name helps the school district save money because they won't have to change signs, colors and mascots. Okay, this is amazing. High schools around the country, named after Robert E. Lee,
Starting point is 00:06:08 want to change their names, but in order to save money, the name still has to end in Lee. So are they just going to like cross the thing out? Just be like, not that Lee? So what, like Spike Lee? Yeah? I guess so?
Starting point is 00:06:24 I don't, I guess so. I don't know. Stan Lee? Yeah? That would be grop. Yeah, we're in a role. Arke Lee? No? Okay, okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Let's go back to Romitie Lee. Fine, fine. Like, to be honest, I don't know why these schools are still trying to name themselves after people. People will will will will will will will will will their their their their their their their their their to name themselves after people. People will always let you down. Remember this. Don't name your shit after people. It's always going to happen. Or it goes the other way. What happens is the institution will ruin the person's reputation. Yeah, look at LaGuardia Airport, right? It's named after one of the greatest mayors of New York City. And now anytime someone hears his name, they associated with a place where they lost their luggage. their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thoomse, thoom, th. thioluice, thi, they're, they're, they's they's they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, their, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. We're thi. We're thi. thi. thoo. thi. thooooo. th. thi. thiola. thooooe. thi. their, or, or, or, they associated with a place where they lost their luggage and contract the tie for it. And it really is weird. It is weird to see
Starting point is 00:07:09 how deeply ingrained Robert E. Lee is in American culture. Like do you guys remember that show, Dukes of Hazard? You remember that show? Yeah? Yeah, the Heroes Car was named the General Lee, which means if they're changing the names of all these schools, they're going to have to go back and change all of those shows and redub old episodes. Why, you're slowing down? We're going to crash. Wish me luck. Foulk. Folks, this here is a historic moment.
Starting point is 00:07:37 The first jump ever made by... Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Yeah, I think it works. I think it works. Now, you see, if we had more time, we could redub every movie with offensive civil war references, but we've got to move on. Because there's one civil war reference that deserves to be saved. The Treasury Department's Inspector General is launching an investigation into why the Trump administration has delayed placing Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Treasury Secretary Steve Manuchin blames the delay on the need to boost security features to prevent counterfeiting. But Democratic leader Senator Chuck Schumer is in buying that explanation and ask the inspector general to investigate. That's right. The Inspector General is going to investigate as to why to why to why 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 investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation.. the the the investigation the the investigation the the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation the investigation 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 thuuuuctor. tum.etermueueueueueueueue.e.ea.eck.eck.s.eck.eck.eck.eck.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.e.e.e.e.e General to investigate. That's right. The Inspector General is going to investigate as to why the Harriet Tubman $20 bill is not yet being made. Huh?
Starting point is 00:08:32 It's a good question. What's going on with the Tubman 20? It's taking its time? Can I just say how fun it is to say the Tubman 20? No, like it sounds like. It sounds like, seriously, they'll th th th thu thu thu thu thu though, though, tho, though, though, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the they, the the they, they, they, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they, they, the they, they, they, they, they, their their their their their their their, their their, their their their, their, their their their their thi. thi, thi, thi. thi. today, tob-in, tob-s tob-s tob-s tob-s, tob-s, tho thu. tho thi, put on in your first year of freedom, that's what it sounds like. But like seriously though, think about it, they announced this bill how long ago? And now they're coming up with all these weird stories, now they're saying they're worried about security, huh?
Starting point is 00:08:54 It's funny how the White House is doing more background checks on Harriet Tubman than they did on worried about her, you know? She's famous for escaping. Like, maybe they're worried about her staying on the money. Yeah. What if, what if they reveal the money? They're going to unveil the bill in the big ceremony, and then when they pull off the curtain, it's like, here she is. Oh, no, she's gone again! Now, look, we could spend all day talking about how shady it is that this administration
Starting point is 00:09:26 has taken so many months to release a bill honoring a runaway slave. But we don't have time for that, because in Oregon, they're dealing with runaway lawmakers. In Oregon tonight, there are 11 people missing, 11 state lawmakers who are nowhere to be found as part of a partisan standoff. The body's 11 Republicans did not show up for work again, after launching a walkout five days ago to stop the state senate from acting on a contentious climate bill. They're hoping to run out the clock until the session ends. Some of them even fled the state after the governor threatened to the police to round
Starting point is 00:10:01 them up. One of those senators responded to the governor's warning with a threat of his own. This is what I told the superintendent. Send Bachelors and come heavily armed. I'm not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It's just that simple. Holy shit! What the hell is going on in Oregon?
Starting point is 00:10:18 You understand what's happening here? In order to sabotage a climate change thapapapapapapapap going to lose. Republican lawmakers have fled the state. Yeah, they've just run away. And now they can't vote. This is the legislative equivalent of unplugging the Nintendo when your brother's beating you. That's what this is. But to be fair, to be fair, when the founding fathers were setting up the country,
Starting point is 00:10:39 they did believe in three core principles. Separation of powers, independent judiciary, and if you're about to lose a vote, remember to, hey, what's that? So long, sucker? That's not democracy. Democracy, these nuts! I mean, that's basically what these Republicans have done. And like, lawmakers fleeing a state to sabotage a vote should be the craziest part of any story. But if that wasn't crazy enough, one of those lawmakers, you saw him, he threatened to shoot police if the police tried to bring him back. I mean, did you hear him? He was like, send Bachelors come heavily armed. Like, that's a threat. It's either a threat, it's either a threat or it's the tagline for next summer's hangover featuring John wick. to me. to me. the th. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their, their. It's, their. their their their the. the. theat. theat, their theat, their their theat, their their their their threat. their, their theirtagline for next summer's hangover featuring John Wick. But it sounds like a threat. And it's interesting how there are some Republicans out there who have the most contradictory
Starting point is 00:11:30 views about law enforcement. They'll be like, shut up, Colin Kappenick. Blue Lives Matter. You respect these cops. But if these cops come from me, I'll pop a cap in their ass. Those precious blue asses that I honor and respect. Unless they try hold me accountable, then we'll show them the Second Amendment. It's like this, the whole time. And look, we don't have time to talk more about these loyless lawmakers, because there is one story
Starting point is 00:11:57 about the president that we have to make time for. There is a new allegation of sexual assault against President Trump. New York Magazine is out today with an excerpt from an upcoming book by the advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. She says in the mid-1990s, Mr. Trump forced himself on her in a department store dressing room. A friend of Carol's confirmed to NBC news that Carol told her about the alleged attack the next day. Yes. For the 20 second tre tre tre tre tr. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That. That.........................................................................................................................................................the alleged attack the next day. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:25 For the 22nd time, Donald J. Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct. That's almost one accusation for each Democrat running. And look, here's the thing. I know that because he's president, there's added skepticism to all of these claims, but it is interesting how quickly people will brush these accusations off. Sometimes people don't even listen, but 22 times is pretty high. You realize Boeing had two planes go down and they were forced to ground the entire fleet because people were like, maybe we should investigate what's going on here. And here people are just like, ah it's fake, it's all fake, it's all fake. And I'm not saying it's fake, but I do think people should listen. And one thing that definitely hasn't helped Trump's case
Starting point is 00:13:07 is the way he's responded to this claim. An extraordinary denial from President Trump in the face of a rape allegation, according to the President writer E. Jean Carroll is totally lying when she claims he sexually assaulted in a New York City department store. Mr. Trump tells the Hill, quote, I'll say it with great respect. Number one, she's not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, okay? Really?
Starting point is 00:13:34 All right, first of all, that's not great respect. He's not the type. What is that supposed to mean? If your denial leaves people thinking, there is a type of woman you would rape, that's not a good denial. Yeah. There should be no number one.
Starting point is 00:13:55 It should be, I didn't do it, and that's it. It's like rules for using a bathroom at a party. Only number one, no number twos, you don't add anything else. And I don't understand how we're still struggling with this in society. A woman's attractiveness has nothing to do with whether or not they were raped. Nothing at all. But it shows you, it shows you how out of whack Trump's priorities are. He's being accused of rape, and his first concern is letting people know what his standards are for women. It's like you're accused of murdering someone at a holiday inn,
Starting point is 00:14:32 and your response is, I stay at the Ritz-Carlton. No! That's not what we're focused on. And what's strange is that none of these allegations ever seem to have an effect on Donald Trump. Do you ever think about how many think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think about how thi thi thi thi thi thi to thi to thi thi thi thi tho tho tho thi to thi tho tho tho tho tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- tho- thus their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th thi thi thi tho, tho to tho to to to to thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. to to to these allegations ever seem to have an effect on Donald Trump. Do you ever think about how many men were held accountable after facing a single credible accusation? This guy's got 22 and it's barely news. And in a weird way, that's the paradox of Donald Trump, right? Because the outrage over his election helped in many ways make the Me Too movement, or not make it but rather inspire the Me Too movement, or not make it but rather inspire the Me Too movement. They made it mainstream, all right? But so far, he's the one who's been immune to its effects.
Starting point is 00:15:10 And while many people are pushing for Trump to face some consequences, it seems like nobody in Washington has the time for that. We'll be right back. 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?
Starting point is 00:16:36 We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Dalym. American school children today will have to fix many of society's problems tomorrow. But is their education giving them the tools they'll need to fight for change? While Djibouki Young White went to find out. As the Daily Show's youngest correspondent, I'm most qualified to report on the fact that civics education in America sucks.
Starting point is 00:17:19 It's so bad, only one in nine schools require a year of civics classes. But young activists, like members of the Providence Student Union, are demanding higher standards. Which is why I'm here at a small Rhode Island School to interview students who are fighting to fix their education and their futures. After-school spash, what's the lit fam? Who are you? I'm the new transfer student. My name is Chad. Afterschool spash, what's lit fam? Who are you? I'm the new transfer student.
Starting point is 00:17:47 My name is Chad, I am 17. Yeah, older f'feeck. No, I'm not. You smell old. I'm not old! After some convincing, I gain the trust of Ahmed and Alita, the student organizers asking for better civics education in Rhode Island. Citizens was important to me because I still see that there are people that are like, voting isn't important.
Starting point is 00:18:09 And I think that young people especially should also understand like the way how how systems were built and how the world works. Like, how can you go about life not knowing your rights or how to pay taxes or anything like that. Okay, but you don't actually have to pay taxes or anything like that. Okay, but you don't actually have to pay taxes. That's a myth. No, you have to pay taxes. Like, you have to pay taxes. Is this real? That's why we need civics class in high school.
Starting point is 00:18:35 But I mean, I do civics all the time. I'm like constantly sending out civic tweets. I'm like, hashash,, hashtag Coney 2020. Sometimes if I just need to get all my civics in one tweet, I'll just say like, hashtag woke, and then, boom, civics. That's not even close. You basically just talked about social media. I mean, let's face it, we're teens.
Starting point is 00:19:01 There's nothing that we can do to make our school teach us civics. I couldn't have to disagree with you on that. One, me and I'm in our teens. The shirt's not full of anyone. Two, me and Ahmed are suing the United States government for civil classes in all schools. Wow. You heard that right. My same aged friends were suing the government for civics education in schools. Alita and Ahmed are making their case with the help of Columbia professor and oldest
Starting point is 00:19:30 person I know, Michael Rebell, who's been fighting for education equity most of his career. The US Supreme Court said every child in this country has a right to an equal educational opportunity, but kids who come from low-income backgrounds, many kids of color, don't have meaningful opportunities. So why did you decide to sue Rhode Island and not a state that everyone hates like New Jersey? We looked at what states have the worst education system when it comes to civics, and also where would the community be supportive? If we get the Supreme Court to declare that there's a national right to education, state legislatures and school systems will act on it.
Starting point is 00:20:08 It'll make a huge difference. You know, 50% of the American public cannot name the three branches of government. Can you do it? Uh, federal, executive. And the Supreme Court, notorious RGB. She's one of nine justices. Yeah, nine. There's RGB, Chris Evans, nine justices. Yeah. Nine. Yeah. There's RGB, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlet Johansy.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Wait a minute. You're mentioning all the actors and the Avengers. They are not Supreme Court justices. I left one off the Hulk. Do you even know who your representative in Congress is? It doesn't really matter about my representative because I know who my senator is. It's Bernie Sanders. I don't think Chuck Schumer's going to like that answer. Who the fuck is Chuck Schumer? He's your senator from New York.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I think you've got a long ways to go on civic knowledge, I'm sorry to say. Did I not get an education? That's the kind of unfortunate reality that we're trying to grapple with. Thank you for teaching me that I'm dumb. Wait a minute, that is not the message I'm trying to get across. I hear you loud and clear. I'm a dumb, I'm a dumb head. You're obviously very smart from our conversation.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Oh my god, they're right. twice, do you go to Jupiter and get more stupider. I'm gonna tho, I tho, I th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thu, th, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, tho, tho, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu. thu. thu, thu, thu. thu. thu, thu. thu, thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thiiiiiii. thu, thu, thu, thu, th god, they were right. Dwight do you go to Jupiter and get more stupider. I'm going to be right back. Okay. This wise old man made me realize how... Do you have a hall pass? We're not in a school building right now. Okay, well then can I go to the bathroom? You can go to the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Oh, sorry. May I go though this case still has a long way to go, its success will ensure future generations the education Alita and Ahmed missed out on. The ultimate goal for me is that people are more civically engaged and you know we have government representation that reflects the population. Wow. I learned so much today. And I hope you did too. Teach out? I thought you were a team. Class dismissed.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Chibuki Ann White, everyone. We'll be right back. Welcome back to the day of the show. My guest tonight is an actor who plays a government agent in a new supernatural spy thriller on stars called The Rook. Please welcome, Olivia Mann. Welcome back to the show, Miss Mung.

Starting point is 00:23:11 Yeah. Because I feel like you got all of that training. How many hours did you spend training when you did like martial arts training? Well, we, my whole family, all the age of four up until we got to black belt. Oh wow. Yeah, so then I got to second degree black belt and then. Was that like second degree murder? How does that work? No, you just the second degree black.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Like black belt? Like black belt? It's black. What is second? You get like to like, you get like, you start to just take more test. But if it's the highest, how do you have higher? I feel like someone didn't realize there was higher and then they got to black and then they were like, oh, we just need a fake it and that for things. So you were, wait, so you got to black belt.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yes. But then you also did there's a big fight scene. Because I know that Scylock is such a fighter and she's so badass. And so they're like, yes, of course. When we get there, the stunt person they had for me was very talented, very athletic, but had never done any fighting before.
