Shout up to the Midas-Might. July 29, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. And thank you once again for coming out. Thank you. Let's do it. I'm Trevor Noah, our guest tonight is an iconic actor and legend here to talk about her brand new movie Otherhood.

Angela Bassett is joining us everybody. So excited. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines. Video games, they used to be the consolation prize for not going to the prom. But now, thanks to video games, nerds can buy the prom. This morning, 16-year-old Kyle Bouga Geerstorf is waking up three million million richer after being named to the first ever Fortnite World Cup champion. The Pennsylvania teen beating over 40 million competitors from around the world to play a six

game series on the World Cup stage. Buga's mom says her son has been playing video games since he was three years old and currently plays fortnight between 8 and 10 hours a day. When I started playing, my family was kind of, they weren't too sure about it, but what I told is that eventually it'd pay off. Hell yeah, it paid off. This kid got $3 million for being the best at a video game. Huh? This is going to change everything, especially how parents run their homes.

Yeah, because now parents are going to be dragging their kids inside the house. You be like, no more playing with your friends and getting exercise. You need to be practicing your headshots, young man. That mortgage isn't going to pay for itself. And by the way, by the way, I've seen people online saying, oh, Fortnite isn't a real sport. How can they get this much money? You need to calm down, all right? Because what is a real sport anyway? You realize that in one month, in that same stadium,

is gonna be people who are paid to hit a little ball at one another and make sex sounds. Okay? That's what they're gonna be doing, right. And th and they they're they're they're tha. And they're they're they're they're tho. And tho. afterwards. Like I mean, every sport is a made-up sport. It's not like God ever came down and was like, I bestow upon you the sport of hockey for all the people, but mostly white people, but all the people. And P.K. Suban is amazing. All right, moving on. We just had a beautiful summer weekend. People everywhere were out,

enjoying their lives, you know, going to the beach, the park, that kind of stuff. But President Trump spent the weekend doing what he loves best, fighting with his enemies. So let's check in on all the President's beefs in our recurring segment, President Trump, commander in beef. I'm going to hit them back, and I might give him a whack and think I could take this guy enough. I'll like their to to to to to their their to their their their to 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 their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their.. their their. their. their. their. their. their the. theck. thef. theaughef.feaughef.feck.fea.fea.fea.fea.fea.fea. thea. thea. Fighting. Fighting. In our first beef, it is Trump versus France. He may love their military parades and their loose views on monogamy, but when it comes to French wine, he likes to pair that with a side of beef. President Trump's next target for tariffs may be French wine.

The president says he's considering a new tax as a retaliatory measure. France has just announced a new tax on American tech companies like Facebook and Google. Wrong, wrong thing to do. They should not have done it. So I may do that. I may, I've always liked American wines better than French wines. Even thiiiiii's like anything to drink, sir. Well, such a strange thing. I don't drink wine. I just like the way it looks. Now I'm imagining Trump ordering wine at a restaurant.

He's just like, anything to drink, sir? Yes, bring me a bottle with your finest label. Perhaps something with a picture of a castle on it. We're celebrating. And this is obviously a dumb reason to give for imposing tariffs on a country. But if we're honest, if we're being honest, to honest, to honest, looks. Yeah, when you go into a wine store, you have no idea what you're buying. No one's really thinking, oh, 2014, and that was a good year for German re-slings. What you're really thinking is, what can I get for under $12 that looks like it's over $20? That's all you're thinking.

And Trump wasn't just picking international fights over the weekend. No, he was also picking fights closer to home and also about his home. Speaking of President Obama, President Trump is blaming him for the inadequate air conditioning at the White House. The Obama administration worked out a brand new air conditioning for the West Wing. And it was so good before they did the system. Now that they did the system. Now that they did the system, it's freezing or hot in here.

Wait, what? He's seriously blaming President Obama for the temperature in the White House? You see, this is what happens when you've run out of things to blame Obama for. It's almost like Trump is just looking around the room for new materials. Like, you know, this office wasn't always oval. It used to have beautiful corners, but Obama stole them. And by the way, by the way, there is no way that President Obama is to blame for making the White House too cold. All right, never in the history of the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was thi, it was to thi, to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi to to thi to to to to thi to to to to thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi to the history of the world has any black person wanted to make their office colder. That's not a thing. When God was making the earth, he gave everyone winter and then he got to Africa and Africans

were like, no no, we'll just take their son. Thank you. Thank you very much. So, Trump started his weekend off, their beefing with Obama and French wine. But then on Saturday, he took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took took to to to to to to to to to to to to tooed tooomea. tooomeateateatuia. tooom-a. tooom-upeat-upe. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. toe. toe. toe. their. their. toe. their. the the their. the their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toea. toea. toea. toe. toea. toea. toe. then on Saturday, he took his beefs to the next level. In more than a dozen tweets over the weekend, the President disparaging Congressman Elijah Cummings, calling his majority black district around Baltimore, Maryland a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess where no human being would want to live. The President's Twitter offensive comes after Cummings grilled Trump's acting Homeland

Security Secretary about conditions along the border. It's the second time in two weeks that Trump has come under fire for racial attacks against members of Congress. But now Trump insists Democrats are the ones playing the race card, tweeting Cummings is racist. And there you have it, folks. Congressman Cummings criticizes Trump's border policies. And in response, Trump tells him to go back to his rat and rodent-infested city.

Which is not exactly how you'd expect an American president to talk about an American city. And what makes it even more disturbing is that as multiple people have pointed out, this language is part of a pattern. President Trump always uses the word infestation when talking about people of color. Almost always uses it. He said illegal immigrants are infesting America. He said Congressman John Lewis's Atlanta district is crime infested and that the squad must go back to their crime infested countries.

Like you don't need to be a genius to see what Trump is implying, because he's not a subtle person. Like if Trump was a painter, his aunt wouldn't need to be interpreted. It would just say, I'm sad in giant letters. You're like, I'm saying Baltimore doesn't have rats. You're like, I don't know, what does this mean. Are you saying Baltimore doesn't have rats? Is that what you're... No, it's not about that. I'm not saying Baltimore doesn't have rats. Of course it has rats. But you know which other cities have rats?

All the best cities in the world. All of them. Paris, London, New York, they all have a rat problem. In fact, I'm starting to think that have a good time too. Everyone's seen the photo of pizza rat, but people don't realize later that night he changed into opera rat. He has many tastes. But once again, America is stuck in another debate.

Many people say Trump's words are clearly racist, but Trump says it's the black people who are the true racists, because they keep bringing up race every time someone says something racist. It's a little suspicious, you have to admit. A little convenience. To be honest, my friends, it is hard to know which side is correct. Which means it's a perfect case for Trevor Nola, a racism detective. You see, he's racist.

Thanks, detective. We'll be right back. Hey I'm Ben Mycelus, I'm Brett Myceles, and I'm Jordy. We are the hosts of the Midas Touch podcasts, the top rated Top Watch podcast for Pro-Democracy Content.

That's the Midas Touch, M-E-I-I-D-A-S-O-U-C-H podcast. That's the Midas Mighty! to the Midas-Mighty! Welcome back to the Daily Show. Studies, they tell us what to eat, how to exercise, and which of our favorite things are giving us cancer. All of them.

But with new studies coming out every day, sometimes it's hard to keep up. Luckily though, we've got Dulce-Sloan in our brand new segment, Studies Show. Hi, friends. This week's studies are all about relationships, specifically romantic relationships. Everybody wants one, especially me. I thought I was in one until he told me that his gifts were just Amazon packages because he's my mail man. Hmm.

Hmm. Hmm. All right, I can tell when somebody's playing hard to get. And thanks to new studies, we're learning all sorts of things about relationships, like this one, which shows that the only thing gold diggers are mining for is French fries. According to a new study, many women are choosing free meals over relationships. The study in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science says up to a third women have engaged in a foodie call. It's when a person sets up a date with somebody

they have no romantic interest in, offer a free meal. That's right. Studies show a third of all dates are just people trying to eat for free. So fellas, sometimes that eggplant emoji just means I'm in the move to eat eggplant. There's only one emoji that always means sex and it's the hockey net. Because you're about to score and it's nice and wide.

And if you're trying to figure out what's going to happen to your relationship after the first date, we got studies for that too. Have you ever witnessed a couple making out in public and thought, get a room! A surprising new study found that the amount of affection between you and your partner may determine whether or not a marriage will last. And we're talking about public displays of affection. They found that couples who are overly affectionate

from the start of their relationship may be more likely to divorce. So... PDA couples are more likely to break up. Ha! That's what you get! Always getting a third base in the stationary aisle of Walgreens. Get your mouths off each other. I'm trying to pick a birthday card for my grandma. I don't need y'all licking all the envelopes. And why do people have to make out in public like they haven't seen each other in a decade?

He just got back from the bathroom, not Afghanistan? Although if you did just come back from Afghanistan, thank you for your service. Get it wet. But if you want to keep your relationship healthy, this last study shows a little jealousy can go a long way. Smart device snooping. It's something more people do than will admit, but can secretly scanning your partner's phone actually help your relationship. The new study says maybe. According to a study from the University of British Columbia and the University of Lisbon,

about 25% of the participants said that their relationship got stronger after they or their significant other were caught snooping. The study concluded the strengthened bond came from a heightened desire to solve trust issues. Uh-huh. Yeah, you hear that Darrell? I wasn't snooping. I was strengthening the relationship. Okay? You're going to complain that I face ID you in your sleep?

Well, if you don't want that to happen, stop leaving your face open. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have ordered several packages to my apartment. And I have to have dinner ready for when my man drops them off. Do say Sloan, everybody! Bring it right back. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome back to the Daily Show.

Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you. I did get it earlier today. You have to get it.

You have to get you. You have so many iconic roles that have now spanned through time. When you look back, is there any one role where you think to yourself? That was the first time where people came the people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people their their their their their their their their their to me. Mm-hmm. It was definitely What's Love? What's Love got to do? Yeah. That was like- Eat the cake, anime. Eat the cake. Eat the cake.

It's an understatement to say that you're a legend of the screen. You know, across continents, people have loved what you do. You're known as somebody who's you going all the way into Comedy is is is there something or is there a realm that you see us are most comfortable in or you just like I just crush it all I don't say that I don't feel that I'll say for you crush it all all all all all all what do you what do you have more fun doing? I think I love I love I love the drama oh okay I love the drama. you you you you the drama. th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th th you 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 the th the thus c. tho tho 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 the the the th th th th th th th th th thus c thus thus thus thus thus thu tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tha tha tha tha th I love I love the drama. Oh okay I love the drama but this role otherhood was more comedic right so that was free fun every day you didn't have to you know go there every night so that was a great deal of fun but I actually love stage right yeah that's my first love okay

so I'm hoping in my other hood that I'll be able to get back to that. I think you will be able to because like, you know, this story was great because it felt like a story you were telling about yourself, about moms out there, about just women in general. The story of otherhood follows yourself and some friends of yours, you know, as characters who have young children who have moved into the city and no longer think that they're kids but they act like kids. Right. And they've abandoned their moms, they don't need them anymore. Right. They've taught us every lesson that we need to know. We're gone off, we got it, we packed it away, see you know, at Christmas. they're not too busy. Right. And we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, 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. th. th................................................................................................................. like what I did. You know, growing up. But when you see them, like, you know,

what I love about the movie is, the mom say, no, we're gonna go. Like we saw your character then next up and she's like, no, I'm coming to see you. I'm gonna go. I'm not leaving until he says me, I have done it. What do you mean? You know, because, well, my daughter, she gives me kisses every day. She's very easy, you know, free with that. Like, I love you mom, you know, on the phone.

He's always three kisses before you get off. My son, he's just too cool for school. And, you know, I've had to sit him down and say, I love you and I work hard. I sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice sacrifice being sacrifice being sacrifice being sacrifice being sacrifice being sacrifice being sacrifice being sacrifice being to sacrifice being to sacrifice to sacrifice to sacrifice to sacrifice to sacrifice to sacrifice to to to to to to to to th if I w w w wa.

Right. the face, and it's, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I......... th.. th.. th. th. th. th. th.. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. one. You seem like a very down-to-earth and simple person considering the world that you live in. Is that like the stage you or is that just you? That's just me. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. How do you think? You're like the stage? You're like, but you also a legend. If I was a legend, I would tell people I am a legend. I would begin every sentence with, as a legend. As you know, as a legend. But what do you think has kept you being you for all of these years? You know, I think the wonderful family that raised me, the simplicity in which I was raised, you know, single mom, you know, just working hard trying to, you

know, make a dollar out of 15 cents. My auntie, who I love so much, she said, don't waste your college education, don't waste their education on theater, because I guess it's not going to work out. It may not work out for you. It's so tenuous and, you know, and unimaginable but it did work out. Oh it did work out but it didn't have to but it took hard work and it took opportunity opportunity meeting your preparation and and and here I said a legend as you said.

Don't mess with us. Just say it. Other hood will be available on Netflix on August 2nd. Angela Bassett, everybody, the legend! Thank you. Thank you. The Daily Show with CoverNoa, ears edition.
