June 10, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for treating in and thank you for coming out. I'm Trevor Noah, good to have you here. Our guest tonight, our guest tonight, you know and love her from Orange's the New Black, and now she's appearing in Shakespeare in the park here in New York City Daniel Brooks is on the show everybody

Also also on tonight's show all 400 Democrats go to Iowa the Lion King happens in real life and Donald Trump gets Mexico to deport themselves, so let's catch up on today's today's headlines. Let's begin in Hong Kong, the former British colony and world's third most popular Kong. Ever since the city was returned to Chinese rule 20 years ago, residents have been worried that they would lose their democratic rights, and now their fears seem to be coming true. Growing fear and outrage against China, sparking the biggest protest Hong Kong has seen in years. Protest leaders are calling for further demonstrations after hundreds of thousands of people jammed the streets over a controversial bill that would allow criminal suspects in Hong Kong to be sent to mainland China. Organizers put that number at more than a million. That is nearly one-seventh of Hong Kong's population.

Yes, yesterday, one million people protested in the streets of Hong Kong, which is really impressive. I mean, look at how many people that is. That looks like all the people who didn't show up to Trump's inauguration. That's insane. And the reason a million people came out is to try and send China a message. Unfortunately, the only country not impressed by a million people

is China. Yeah, because they're like, oh, how cute. You had a million people at your march. My son had a million people at his birthday, and he's not even popular. Now, I get why people in Hong Kong don't want the law to allow extradition to mainland China. , to allow extradition to mainland China because going to jail in China is no joke, right?

Of course you'd rather be tried and sent to jail in Hong Kong. You know what it almost reminds me of? It's like, remember when your mom would be like, just wait until your father gets home? You'd be like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You punish me. thi. you. you. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. to to te to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toite this ass to dad. No! In other news, President Obama, he's the ex that America can't stop thinking about, but clearly, he's totally moved on. The Obama struck a deal with Spotify to produce podcasts exclusively for the streaming platform. Under this multi-year deal, Barack and Michelle Obama are said to develop, produce and lend their voices to podcasts on a wide range of topics. The deal is a major win for Spotify,

which is looking to make a bigger splash in the podcasting space. The announcement comes on the heels of similar agreements that the Obama's did side with Netflix as well. That's right, Barack Obama is making his own podcasts. And it must be really strange for Obama's Facebook friends to watch his career go in reverse. Because nine years ago, it was, hey, which, tha, tha, tha, tha, th. th. th. th. thuuiiiii, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, which, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, theean, tho thean, tho thean, tho tho tho tho thean, thean, tho thean, Because nine years ago it was, hey guys, check out my inauguration. Now it's, hey everyone, please subscribe to my podcast.

And if you do subscribe to his podcast, you better have a lot of free time because that man does not talk fast. Yeah, his podcast is going to be like, uh... Hello? And we're out of time. uh... Hello? Uh... And we're out of time. And now everyone assumes that the podcast will be about politics, but they said a wide range of topics.

What if he's just talking about like pop culture? That would be weird, right? If he's like, uh, so Robert Pattinson is going to be the new Batman. I'm going to give it a chance. You guys see that video of Dobby on on on on on on on on on on on on on on the security on the security on the security on the security on the security on the security on the security on the security on the security on th o' on thobey on thobey on thi on thi on thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theeee. thi. thee. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi the new Batman. I'm going to give it a chance. You guys see that video of Dobby on the security camera? Creep me out. What the hell was that? That sure was creepy. And finally, some news coming out of my home country, South Africa.

Officials in South Africa are warning residents to be on alert. After 14 lions escape for onethe Africa's largest game reserves that happened at the Pride-Fled Kruger National Park on Thursday. Rangers plan to release the lions back into the park after they've been captured. You know stories like this really piss me off. Because as a South African I get asked dumb questions about where I'm from. People like, do you guys have like lions running around? Now I have to be like, yes. Yes, we do. You are very well informed, we do. I'm so mad at these lions. This is the kind of shit that we're trying to play down in Africa and they're ruining it for everybody. It would be like if you were from Florida and then you got carjack by an alligator, you'd be like, come on, man, we're better than this. The-Taheat-I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr-wee. thr-wee. thr-wee. thr-wee. thr-wee. th-wee. th. thi. thi. thi. th-a. th. th. th. th. th. the, th. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the. the. the. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. I th. these South African officials admitted that this happened.

I don't care if it's true. They should have just lied. Just lie. Like, they should have said, no, the lions didn't escape. They're just out celebrating pride months. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, yeah.

It worked. Yeah. They're a pride. It's pride. They're out. That's the thing. Oh, all they could have said, they let the lions out to promote the new Lion King movie. Yeah. And then even if the lion kills someone, the whole country could have just kept the lion going. You know, some tourists would be screaming, this lion is eating me! We'll be like, no, it's the circle of life. Winning, win the name, whin'am, ah, yum. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story.

Joe Biden, former vice president and Barack Obama's token white friend. Since entering the Democratic race, he has been cruising in first place in the polls. But lately, things haven't been going smoothly. We have breaking news this hour on Joe Biden's new reversal on abortion funding. The pivot came amid an intense wave of pressure from his 2020 rivals, abortion rights activists and some within his own campaign. For decades, Biden, a devout Catholic, backed the amendment. I think the vice president has been very consistent over his career in the Senate since

76 when the Hyde Amendment became law, that he is a deeply religious man. But 24 hours later, that reversal came. Now Biden campaign officials insist that he did not make this decision based on political backlash, that he heard the argument and decided to change course based on the merits of that argument. Man, this does not look good for Joe Biden.. 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 the thiaqietaqq. Since thiaq. Since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since since 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 thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theea. the the the the the the the the theau.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s. the. thi. th he heard the argument and decided to change course based on the merits of that argument. Man, this does not look good for Joe Biden. For decades, he supported a law that banned federal funding for abortions, which especially hurts poor women and women of color. Then last month he says he doesn't support that law anymore. Then he flips and says he does still support it, and now because of pressure, he says

that he doesn't support that law. Yeah, I haven't seen that many flips since SeaWorld gave their dolphins cocaine. And now what's also come up is that Biden originally said that he supported this anti-abortion law because of his religious views. So now people are saying that he's flip-flopped on religion as well. Yeah, but in his defense, I mean, religion is all about flip-flopping, right? Yeah, God flip-flops all the time.

First he said, kill your firstborn son. Then he was like, now shall not kill. Then he was like, you know what? I'll kill my first born. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So while Joe Biden is trying to figure, which is why this weekend, 19 Democrats descended on Iowa to make the case for why they would be a better pick than the former VP. So let's catch up on how it all went down in another installment of World War D.

Iowa, it's not just the place you moved to after you faked your death. It's also the first state to vote in the Democratic primary. Iowa. Iowa, it's not just the place you moved to after you faked your death. It's also the first state to vote in the Democratic primaries. So this weekend, practically every Democrat was there fishing for votes. On the ground in Iowa this weekend, an all-out blitz. 19 of the Democratic candidates swarming the Hawkeye state. In Battleground Iowa, 19 Democrats lining up, each getting the Democratic candidates swarming the Hawkeye State. In Battleground Iowa, 19 Democrats lining up, each getting five minutes to make their

pitch. It's been a pleasure speed dating with you tonight. If you want a second date, go to Tim Ryan for America. Oh man, I wish actual first dates ended with someone saying that. If you want to learn more about me, please visit my website. You can read my 10-point plan on making you orgasm, as well as my one-point plan on making me orgasm. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Thank you. But that's right. This Sunday was jam-packed. The entire event, 19 candidates, and they all had five minutes each to speak, which is kind of crazy. Five minutes is not enough time to make your case. It's barely enough time to make a lean cuisine.

Unless you do what I do and just eat it frozen. No, there's nothing more refreshing than an ice-cold shrimp Alfredo on a hot day. It's, it's, you guys should try it. Don't try it. So, with only five minutes to make an impression on the world's most powerful white voters, all the Democrats took to the stage to deliver their best punch lines. The opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian man who likes math. very much Iowa. I am your senator next door and I can see Iowa from my porch. Look at that show that this president's created whatever you want to call it

reality show, horror show, game show. Help me change the channel. He claims to be the best president we've seen in a generation. Well I say let's call Barack Obama because that's identity fraud. I will always be real with you. I will be bold without the bold. Wow. That was a lot of silence. He like said it and it was just like everyone was like, are you, are you gonna, are you, like from now when librarians aren't gonna shush people, they're just gonna

play that clip of Eric Swallwell. And by the way, Andrew Yang, good line, but the opposite of Donald Trump isn't an Asian man who likes math. It's a Mexican lady who likes her children, come on now. After opposite. Now, if you're a candidate who only has a few minutes to connect with the crowd, you've got to make every moment count, which means picking walk-on music that tells us a bit about who you are. And please note, this is actual real audio, right? This is real audio from when each candidate walked up on stage. Please welcome Senator Kamala Harris.

Senator Bernie Sanders. Power to the people. to the people. Senator Bernie Sanders. Power to the people. Power to the people. How to the people. Elizabeth Warren. Ladies and gentlemen, what a way to make a living.

And they're getting by. It's all taking and no giving. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Congressman Tim Ryan. Can't nobody tell me that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What? What?

Old Town Road? That's your walk-on song? Are you running for president or trying to go viral on Tick-Tock? What are you doing? And don't get me wrong. I love that song, but Old Town Road doesn't make you sound like a professional anything. Like if I walked in on my accountant and he was playing that song while doing my taxes, I'll be like, ah, you know what, I'll just take my chances with the IRS.

Now as you can imagine, giving a politician only five minutes for a speech is never enough. It's like telling a vegan that they can only post 10 times a day online about how they're vegan. And because the organizers knew all the politicians would go over their time, they took a page from the Oscars and used music to cut them off. Health care for all New Yorkers. Anyone doesn't have insurance is guaranteed health care. Our planet and our country, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. And where we finally put an end to sexism and racism, homophobia and religious bigotry. Thank you all very much. Yo, Bernie Sanders is a legend.

Because you realize he's louder than any music you can play over him, right? Yeah. When it comes to Bernie, he's the one playing the music off. Like the music starts confidently like, bada! I'm sorry you were talking, sorry, Bernie, carry on, Bernie, carry on. Yeah. Bernie's like, he's just loud. You know, I feel like Bernie's so loud. I bet when he calls the police to complain that his neighbors are playing loud music, his

neighbors call the neighbors, the neighbors, the, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, even use the phone, he just shouts 911. He's like, 911 operator, and wherever the operators they wake up, Bernie needs me. Bernie needs me. And that music was also too inspirational. If you want to cut Democrats off, if you want to get them off stage, you can't play music that makes them sound like they're giving a rousing speech to a football team. You've got to play music that nobody wants to be associated with, like R. Kelly. Yeah. Then they'll walk off the stage. Or even better, that cover album that Bill Cosby did of R.Kaley songs. That's what you should be playing. I believe I can do. Doh. So, after a weekend of campaigning in Iowa, all we've really learned about the democratic candidates is how bad they are at telling jokes. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. And their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their, thiii. thi. thi. thi. too, too, too, too, thi, thi, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, their, their, their, their, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, thi. their their thi. And, their their their too, their too, too, too, their their their toe, their their their their is how bad they are at telling jokes

and what their favorite songs are on Spotify, that's it. And unfortunately, that's what you're going to get when you have two dozen people running for presidents. Every event is going to be about soundbites and catchy lines, and when that happens, nobody wins. The candidates don't win, and the voters definitely don't win, because you're not informed. In fact, the only good thing about this event was that for a weekend, it doubled the number of black people in Iowa. That's it.

So look, look, look, if these Democratic candidates want to be making an impact with what they are saying, here's what they need to do. You've got to do. You gotta focus. And connect, connect with the people. And find, we'll be right back. to try and try to find a needle in a haystack. Finding great candidates to hire can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

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. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Trump versus Mexico. Last week, the battle over immigration escalated

when Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico and even cancel Taco Tuesdays. It's crazy that the Constitution gives them that power. But luckily over the weekend, this happened. No Monday morning tariffs on Mexico, after President Trump clinched an 11th hour immigration deal for tougher enforcement, tweeting there is now going to be great cooperation between Mexico and the US and the US. President Trump announcing that the US and Mexico reached an agreement, averting a potential

economic crisis. Yes! Crisis avert it. Thank you Trump. You realize this could have tanked the stock market, it could have seriously hurt the U.S. economy, but Trump stopped it from happening. And yes, he was the one who caused the crisis to begin with, but that's not the point. That's not the point. Don't hate. That's right. Give it up for Trump. Yeah. That's what I love about this guy. Anyone can be a good guy. Anyone can be a bad guy. Not everyone can be both.

Huh? Yeah, he's Bruce Willis and the guys that have taken the building hostage. That's who he is. He's the kind of guy who starts the timer on the bomb. Then turns around like, Jesus, this sickle as part of the new deal, Trump says that Mexico is going to increase troops at the border, crack down on human smuggling, and throw him that kinsinerarer that

he's been asking for. Yes. Aye, very gopo. Donald, very gaupo. The point is, the point is, Trump made a deal. The only thing is, it may not actually be a new deal. Despite President Trump touting the agreement as a quote, new deal, just how new the terms are, that's up for debate. The New York Times reports that Mexico had previously agreed to deploy its national guard during high-level secret talks back in March. Man, you know what, this is just straight-up hating from the New York Times, huh? Focusing on when the deal was actually made.

Who cares if Trump's new deal is actually an old deal? The point is it happened. When did it happen? New York Times reminds me of my landlord. Always focusing on, when are you going to pay the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 toe? I the the the ta? I back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back? I? I? I? I? I? I? I? I the rent. Trevor, when are you going to pay the rent? I paid you last month! What is this going to happen every month? I feel like this is blackmail. And you know what? Who cares if Trump is taking an old deal and pretending it's new? It's what Hollywood has been doing for years? Huh? Aladdin? Pet cemetery? It always works. Well, not always works, because one time I pitched my live-action Tetris movie starring The Rock as the L thingy, and then Stephen Spielberg told me to,

quote, get out of his bedroom. Whatever that means. Now, the question is, why would Trump cancel his tariffs? If Mexico didn't really give him anything new. Or maybe, it's because things at home were getting very caliente. The White House faced some pretty stiff resistance for Republicans, as well as business leaders on all this.

You had Politico reporting about a closed-door lunch on Tuesday. You had a couple of Trump administration officials who tried to lay out the president's view, but they reportedly only faced brutal pushback from the GOP with some threatening that Trump could actually face a veto-proof majority to overturn the tariffs. Wow, this is deep. So Trump was threatening Mexico and Mexico was in turn threatening US businesses and then US businesses were threatening the GOP and the GOP was threatening Trump. God damn. He was always going to lose this. You never get into a Mexican standoff with actual Mexicans. It's too risky.

It's like French kissing an actual French person. They will bust the tongue right through the back of your head. You can't risk that shit. But before you guys hate on Trump and say that he didn't get anything major out of this deal, you You forgetting one thing, but it's a secret. President Trump now saying a secret part of the deal still hasn't been announced, tweeting the US has a fully signed and documented part of the deal with Mexico that will be revealed in the not too distant future. Ooh... a secret deal. This is so exciting.

Like I wonder what it is, huh? What if America is making Mexico the 51st state, huh? That could be the new deal. Be like, folks, they can't sneak into the country if they're already in the country. Problem solved! I did it. I did it. Yeah. I also love how Trump provided zero details about this deal. I did it. Yeah.

I also love how Trump provided zero details about this deal. Yeah. This is why Trump is a G man. He knows that the best way to entice someone is to keep it vague. He probably learned that from R&B singers. Yeah. So don't tell you exactly what they do. Just give it to you, like, girl, you know that thing you want. Well, I'm going that to to to to to to to to to give to give to give to give to give to give to to to give want well I'm gonna give it to you it's like what is that well I ain't gonna tell you girl but you're gonna find

out and when you do ooh ooh well when are you gonna give it to me damn girl who cares what are you my landlord calm down we'll be right back Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a Tony Award-nominated actor. You know her from Orange's The New Black, and she's currently starring in the public theater's free Shakespeare in the Park production of Much A Do About Nothing. Please welcome, Danielle Brooks. Oh, wow. I mean to come here every day.

You should come here every day. You should come here every day. You should come here. How you doing? I'm great. You have a every day. How you doing? I'm great! So good to have you. This is the best audience.

Are you kidding me? No, I'm not the best audience. Welcome back to the show. I'm back! And congratulations on everything that is happening. We're going, what, final season of Orange's the New Black. You got a music video that came out which was amazing by the way. That was really really, really, you did, directed Anne. Yes, wrote the music song.

It's phenomenal. It's such a beautiful song. And on top of that, you're doing Shakespeare in the Park. Let's talk about Orange's the New Black first. Final season. Final season. Are you watching? Is it bittersweet? I'm gonna binge, that's what I do. Okay, good. I have to see the end of Tasties journey. Yes, yes. But it must be bit of sweet,

because it's been a huge part of your life and now this is it. It is. I mean, it's been seven, eight years. For me, I was 22 when I started, I'm about to be 30 now. And it's changed my life as an actor as an activist as a human being Right, so I have I just owe Gen Gohan the writer so much I'm so grateful that the world has fallen in love with Tasty and is a falling in love with me and allowed me to be myself That's truly been myself through this character, so I'm gonna miss her but it's time to go I think we're gonna miss her but we'reto love traveling with you on your upcoming

journeys, because as we've seen, you have multi, you're multi-talented, you know? Music, acting, directing, doing everything is in your future. Thank you. Shakespeare in the park, though, is something I wouldn't have expected. Really? Because you had movie offers. Oh yeah. And then you were like, no, I'm going to go do a free production in the park. Why? For nothing, Jesus. Why?

Because I didn't know if this opportunity would ever come again in my career. Right. To play Beatrice, to play the lead. And the movie was a great movie, but I wasn't the lead. It was a romcom, but now I get to be in another romcom, speaking Shakespeare, showing people that I'm trained, I've done this, I know what I'm doing with this language. Yes. And to also give opportunity to women that look like me, to young girls that look like me,

and say, yes, you can be dark skin and thick, tiny size 16, and you can do this. You can be a Beatrice. And so that's why I took it for no money. Yeah. Yeah. People are loving your performance. People are raving. People are raving. People are raving about the production.

It's in the pocket. It's a different world because I mean, like, it's, there's some days where it rains. Oh my gosh. We perform in the rain and there's no covering, no covering for us, no covering from the audience. It's an 1800 seat house. At least a thousand people are still there to watch this show. That is amazing.

It's crazy. It's crazy. And it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it's been, it actually fuels us, because people are like so hiding, like, come to see us do this thing. And I'm like, y'all don't want to go home. But they are so ready to hear this story. And so you have to deliver everything you got. And there's books, there's raccoons. Yes. I mean, it's a world of wonder out there.

But it's been fine. I wouldn't have taken it back for the world. Shakespeare is one of the hardest plays to perform though. I mean, like you said, it's the language.

Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election, economics, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking 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.
