Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. 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. March 21st, 2018. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York,
Starting point is 00:00:27 this is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome everybody. Welcome to the game show on Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for coming out, get out, take a seat. Thank you so much. My guest tonight from Water.org. Gary White and Matt Damon, everybody. Thanks for coming out in the snow, so let's get into it. thanks for coming out in the snow, so let's get into it. We're going to start today's show with HUD secretary, Ben Carson.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Not only has daylight savings completely rocked his world, but he's also been caught up in a scandal involving the purchase of lavish office furniture. He spent tons of money on this stuff, and his job is at risk, so he thought, why not jeopardize my marriage too? The New York Times reports housing an urban development secretary Ben Carson blamed his wife. What? For the decision to buy a $31,000 dining set for his office. Carson testified yesterday in public before a house panel blaming the wife. The prices were beyond what I wanted to pay, I made it clear that that
Starting point is 00:01:45 just didn't seem right to me. And you know I left it with my wife, I said you know, help choose something. What I'm trying to say is these bitches be shopping. I can't believe. I can't believe. Ben Carson blamed this all on his wife. Like that's such a punk-ass move. His wife better pray that they're never in a hostage situation together, you know? To send a message, I'm going to have to kill someone in this room. Wait, wait, I would like to volunteer my wife. But let's go from the guy who's sleeping on the couch tonight to the guy who sleeps on the couch every night. First it was the apprentice contest,
Starting point is 00:02:32 then it was the adult film actress. Now it's the former Playboy playmate filing, filing a lawsuit linked to President Trump. The porn star Stormy Daniels released results of a polygraph test as proof that she's telling the truth about sex with Trump. The former Playboy model Karen McDougall now suing a publishing company that bought her story and her silence. And the former Apprentice Star Summer Zervos winning in court, a judge rejecting President Trump's motion to have the case against him dismissed.
Starting point is 00:03:00 A porn star, a playmate and a reality show contest. You realize right now, collusion with Russia is the most dignified charge against Trump. Well, that's at least until Putin goes not so fast. I have Trump dick pick. Yeah. Also, just quick question. Why does Trump have pictures with all the women who have accused him of affairs? Like, in every picture he's posing with them like their Delhi owners, yeah. I'm surprised that Trump has actually has has has has actually has actually has actually has actually has actually has actually has actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually has actually has actually actually has actually that that that that that that that that that that that that that thi has actually thi has thi-a has 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 thi. thi. thi. Wea.ee.e.ean.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi he's posing with them like their deli owners, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I'm surprised that Trump has actually managed to contain himself, you know, because you know, deep down inside, he wants to brag about having sex with porn stars and playmates. Like his lawyers are going to have to write in all caps on his notes. Do not congratulate penis. Don't! But let's move on to our main story, Facebook. It's the only website that can both undermine democracy and your belief that all babies are cute. Get out of here, you weird-ass baby.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Now, as you've probably heard by now, Facebook has lost control of its customers' data, and people are not happy about it. The crisis at Facebook intensifying the Federal Trade Commission, putting new pressure on Facebook over its failure to protect user data. Facebook investors are suing the social media company over massive stock losses in the wake of a major data scandal. Zuckerberg has now lost $9 billion in wealth in just the past two days. Oh no!
Starting point is 00:04:20 Mark Zuckerberg has lost $9 billion. Now he only has lost nine billion dollars. Now he only has 70 billion dollars You realize that's barely enough to furnish Ben Carson's office Right? You mean my wife's office? Seriously, Mark Zuckerberg is not having a good day. Things are so bad for him right now that Facebook is showing him ads for Xanax. Click here. So let's just take a minute to break this down.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Essentially, this down. Essentially, this is a story involving Facebook and a company called Cambridge Analytica, which I know sounds like a Harry Potter spell that does your homework, but it's actually a data analytics company dedicated to one thing, figuring out how to manipulate you at all costs.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Beginning in 2014, many Facebook users were paid to take a personality test, funded by Cambridge Analytica, agreeing to give up some personal data. But what they didn't know, at the same time, the company was scooping up all of their friends' private information too. So a survey that started with about 270,000 people ultimately collected more than 50 million profiles. All right, because your friend but that's some bullshit, because your friend took this dumbass quiz,
Starting point is 00:05:28 this company you've never heard of, got access to your account. Yeah, it's like your friend bones someone, and then you get the STD. It's like, what the fuck, man? It was totally worth it. Not for me! Now, you might be saying, what do I care if Cambridge Analytica got my Facebook data? I don't mind that people know that I like Ben Affleck's back tattoo.
Starting point is 00:05:53 I think it brings out his eyes. But the truth is, the truth is, in the wrong hands, our data can be used to do some pretty sinister things. The level of what can be predicted about you based on what you like on Facebook is higher than that your wife would say about you, what your parents or friends can say about you. Cambridge Analytica will try to pick at whatever mental weakness or vulnerability that we think you have and try to warp your perception of what's real around you. Okay now that should scare you. Because if you've seen movies you know that when the person with crazy hair gets stressed out, something really bad is going th th th th th th th th th th th out. th out th th out th out th th out 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 the the the the the the that that that that 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 th th th that that that that that that that that that that, that, that, that, that. that. that. that. that. that. that, that, that that. that seen movies, you know that when the person with crazy hair gets stressed
Starting point is 00:06:26 out, something really bad is going down. It's like, they hacked into the mainframe. I wouldn't believe you, but you've got purple dreadlocks. And this was really bad. Because sure, some people might say this is just like advertising. They try to get you to buy something by tugging at your emotions. But this is 10 levels above that. Because traditional advertisers don't know who you are personally. Like, imagine if Samsung knew from Facebook data that you lost your dad last week.
Starting point is 00:06:53 So they put a message on your feed that their new phone could contact your dad on the other side. You would be way more likely to buy that phone. They would tug at your at your the ho th th th th th your th your th your th your th you th you th you th you to to to th you to to th th th th th to thu. thu. thu. thu. thoom. thoom- thoom- thu. thi. thoom-I thoom-I thoom-a thoom-a-a-up. thoom-a-s. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I thoom. I thoom. I thoomorrow tha-s. I tha-s. I tha-s. tha-s. thauu. thaea-s. thaea-s. thaea. thaea. thaea. toda. toda. thauuuu. today- They would tug at your hostage. You'd be like, dad, is that you? Oh my God, dad, is that you you? Can you tell me where you left the keys for the Camaro, please? I, um, yeah, I can't find them. All right, bye, I love you. Like, they could get to you. And we know, we know that Cambridge Analytica got peoplethat power to. The data firm hired by Donald Trump's presidential election campaign used secretly obtained information from tens of millions of unsuspecting Facebook users to directly target potential American voters. The entire operation centered around deception, false grassroots support, and a strategy that seems to border on electronic brainwashing. You see, using Cambridge Analytica's tools, Trump's campaign figured out a way to manipulate people, or as they called it, electronic brainwashing, which also happens to be the name of my favorite
Starting point is 00:07:56 Duff Punk album. Yeah. It's the one, it's the one of that song that goes, Bounda, no, no, it's the other one. The one that goes, Bound, no, no, no, no, no, it's like, man, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yeah, no, no, yeah, yeah, that one, yeah, that one, yeah, that one, here, here's example, here, he., here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, he. he. He. He. He. He. Here, he. Here, he. Here, here, here, here, he. Here, here, here, here, here, here, here, he. the, he. the, here, here, here, here, here, here, here. the, he. the, he. the, here. the, here. the, here, here, here, here, here, here. the, here, here. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, he. the, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here. the the the the the the the the the the the the the this would make them want to vote for Donald Trump. And I'm not making this up. Trump told us this himself. It was a term that was actually given to me. Usually I like to think I'm up myself, but this was given to me. But they had this expression drained the swamp and I hated it. I thought it was so hokey.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I said that is the hokeyes. Give me a break. I'm embarrassed to say it. And I was in Florida. We had 25,000 people going wild. And I said, and we will drain the swap. The place went crazy. I couldn't believe it. And neither could we. You know, you always think it's unrealistic when Bond villains reveal their entire scheme. And then you see this and you're like yeah And you see mr. Bond unless someone finds the hidden switch under my castle no one will be able to stop the bomb
Starting point is 00:09:12 That's why oh he's gone. Oh no So thanks to Cambridge Analytica Trump knew drain the swamp would drum up anti-establishment votes people who might have never voted before But. But here's the thing, don't get it twisted. They might be able to use these tools to push you in a certain direction, but they couldn't completely trick you into voting for Donald Trump. And you know how we know this? Because of this. We haven't spoken about the fact thathing in the world can't make people like Ted Cruz. All of it. All of it. Like, you could hypnotize someone. You could be like, you're a dog.
Starting point is 00:09:57 You're a chicken. Buc, buck, buck, buck. You like Ted Cruz. I'm not hypnotized. This is bold. Hypnosis doesn't even work, man. Basically, Trump didn't create new fears and people. Right? He found a way to appeal to fears and desires that already existed. You know, and they used Facebook. In the same way that Facebook will be like, hey, remember your friend Steve from high school? Except this time I was like, hey, honest with you. The fact that Donald Trump used Cambridge Analytica's tools isn't the worst thing that happened here. Every politician will use the tools at their disposal to get votes. Obama did a similar thing himself. My problem is with Facebook. They need to be held accountable. Because not only did they turn a blind eye to Cambridge Analytica using this data, but they also didn't tell this was happening. At the same time though, it's our responsibility to be vigilant. Like in the year 2018, you just have to assume everything you click
Starting point is 00:10:47 online, everything you watch, every website you visit will be collecting data on you and that data will be used eventually to try and sell you something. Even the people and the places you trust, they're all just trying to sell you something. Never forget that.

We'll be right back. 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
Starting point is 00:11:38 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. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guests tonight are helping millions of people in developing countries gain access to safe water and sanitation through the non-profits they co-founded
Starting point is 00:12:17 called Water.org and Water Equity. Please welcome Matt Damon and Gary White. Welcome to the show gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to get into the water shortly, but I have to tackle the pressing news with you right now, Matt. Welcome to the show, gentlemen. Thank you. I'm going to get into the water shortly, but I have to tackle the pressing news with you right now, Matt. When did you break up with Ben Affleck? When did that friendship end?
Starting point is 00:12:50 Are you guys not friends anymore? Unfortunately, I can't seem to shake him. No, I've known him since I was 10, so I was 37 years. Wait, so you guys are still friends? You see, you say that, but my, I don't, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, that, 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... When, th. When, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. but I don't believe a friend would allow a friend to get a back tattoo of a colorful dragon. Have you seen this tattoo? Of course, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's not one man's job to tell another man what he can do to his back.
Starting point is 00:13:19 I support him in all of his artistic expression. Fair enough. That's a good friend answer actually. Welcome to the show. Welcome Gary, welcome Matt. You have a project that you started together that really came from two separate projects in and around water. Getting water to people. Gary, a lot of people don't realize how pervasive this issue is.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Why is water such a big deal? It sounds like a simple question, but why is it such a big deal? Well, it's a huge deal for more than 800 million people around the world who don't know where their water's going to come from in any given day. So if you think about it, when anybody wakes up in the world tomorrow, notoday not the case. So women, tomorrow will spend 200 million hours walking to collect water.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Kids won't be in school. They'll lose 443 million school days this year alone because they're scavenging for water, because of water-related illness. So that's why it's such a huge deal. It holds families and communities back from economic development and building a better life. It is the basic building block that people to put in place if they're going to move forward. And it's interesting you say that because the numbers are so high. I was honestly shocked that how many people around the world don't have access to water.
Starting point is 00:14:35 And then you find out how much this actually costs them. Because I just think of it in a convenience way, oh, you don't get it from the tap and you don't get to wash when you want to, you don't have these things, but it actually costs them a lot of money to live this way. Yeah, and in fact, in a lot of these communities, there, one of Gary's great insights years ago was in spending so much time in these communities in the developing world was that the poorest of the poor are paying, the poorest of the poor, because they're are alive, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in a, in a, in, in a. In a. In, in a. In, in a. In, in a. In. In, in a. In. In, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in..... In. In. In. In. In. In, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in. In. In. In. In, in, in, in. In, in, in. In. In. In. their, in. their, in. their, in. their, in. their, in fact, in fact, in fact, in fact, in fact, in fact, in fact, in fact, in fact, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their of their income in order to secure water. So they're paying 10 to 15 times what the middle class in some of these countries are paying. So we always say it's expensive to be poor. You know, this burden falls on women and girls disproportionately. And as Gary was saying, all these millions of girls are not in school because their job for their family is to scavenge for water day in and day out and day out. and day out. and day out.... And so, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and so, and so, and so, and their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, thi, the family is to scavenge for water day in and day out. And so you can only imagine what the outcome of their life, you know, these are just millions of people not living up to their potential.
Starting point is 00:15:29 You see a problem like this. For many people, it seems far-fetched. I know as a South African, it came to the fall with Cape Town. So in Cape Town, we're watching a looming day zero, call it, where water is going to run out. And then at that point people start understanding, oh they may not be anything, your way of life, no sanitation, people are preparing for riots in the streets, people are understanding that you can't live without water and yet people do live like this. So when you started this program, you had separate programs, correct? Yes. Yeah, and And then you decided to team up why and and how? Yeah, I mean, I realized that I could really maximize my impact
Starting point is 00:16:06 if I partnered with the preeminent expert in the space. And when that person wouldn't take my calls, I found Gary. He doesn't know I called Ben first myself. So. But like, you'd have a plan B. Yes, but you've been involved in water and access to water for a very long time. How is this even an issue that you stumble upon? Because everyone would think of education, which is very important.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Everyone would think of food, which is really important. But water, why water? Well, for me, it was traveling to Guatemala when I was an undergraduate in university and saw the problem firsthand and then came back and started learning about it and how massive it was to your point. But I think the redeeming factor about this is that the problem actually contains its own solution. As Matt mentioned, you know, there's lots of money that the poor are already expending to cope with this cost. Actually hundreds of billions of dollars each year.
Starting point is 00:17:00 And so what we did was created water credit so folks could get a small loan. Because the reason they have to pay these water vendors is because they can't get connected to the utility. Right. It costs like a couple of hundred bucks. So we give them a loan so they can get connected and they can buy their time back and work at a paying job and get access to water. This is really part of the story that fascinated me. A lot of people may not know this, but you live in a village or in a place where you don't have access to running water. I read one of the stories from your organization where there was a woman who was paying $60 a month to get
Starting point is 00:17:30 bottled water delivered to her so that she could have something to drink. Through your program she got a loan to have her own water source and then pays back the loan at five or six dollars a month. Exactly. Which is a simple? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thiiiii. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. A tho. A thi. thi. A thoom-a thoomol-a tho-a tho-a their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A th. A. A the. A thea. A theauuuu. A thooooooooooooo. A. A. A. A the. A. A th. A th. A. month. Exactly. Which is a simple and yet insane concept that nobody has thought of that. Is it that simple giving access to money? To make their own water source? And then they participate in their own solution. They give themselves, they fix their own problem. It's, it's, Gary's being humble. I mean, this was an insight that he had basically taken the concepts of microfinance that Muhammad Yunus pioneered and just moving them towards water and nobody had thought to do that because in a standard microfinance situation it's an income
Starting point is 00:18:09 generating loan. I loan you 200 bucks, you buy a sewing machine, you can now have a sewing business. This is an income enhancing loan, right? Because you're buying somebody's time it took the microfinance institutions a little time to kind of get comfortable with that idea. Right. But what Gary had realized from all of his years doing this was that they have the money, they're paying for water. It's just they don't have the reserve to connect to the system. So if we can front them the money to loan it, they can pay it back. And the great news is that these loans pay the loans pay th th th th th th the thoons pay loans pay loans pay th th their thoans pay loans pay loans pay their that. their they they they their they they they're their loans pay loans pay loans pay. they're their their their they're their their they're their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their. they're their. their. their. their. today. today. today. their. their their today. their their than we could have ever hoped and it's and it's these people that these heroic people the poorest of the poor who are doing this. Yeah over half the people that we've loaned to the 10 million live on less than two dollars a day so this is a solution that works for the poor and they've managed to pay it back. Yes and they're not spending they back back back back back back back back that that that that that that that the the the their their their they're not their. they're not they're not they're not their. their. they're not. their. their. they're not 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. tooooooooooooooooo's. their. their. their. their. their. they have that in extra income. Right. Because the thing is, we can never work our way out of this problem with just straight charity.
Starting point is 00:19:09 There's never going to be enough charity in the world to reach hundreds of millions of people. So we took a more direct approach and said, let's do it this way and use the markets and the leverage that we can get to help people get the the it's a bottom-up approach instead of the kind of classic paternalistic kind of hand out. Right, dropping the water to the people, having the water create the water for themselves. It's funny because that's part of the story that connected with me the most. When I was growing up, it was quite normal. We didn't have a flushing to go to the place that had a tap and then we would get all the water you've seen this in the villages and then we would take it back and that's how you'd have the thing and I remember the day I remember the day I
Starting point is 00:19:49 remember the day we got the tap in the house it was a party like it was non-stop people losing their shit like we're like to just explain it here in 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 their their their their their th I I I th we th we'll the I the I the I thee I I'm to to to to to to toy I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I toy I toy I toy I toy I toy I'm I toy toy toy toy toy toy toy toy ttttttoy tttttoy ttttoy tttoy ttttoy toy toy toy toy toy Yeah, and that's one of the hardest things for us is to try to just explain it here in the West because we can't relate. It's not like cancer or AIDS, where people go, well I have a family member or a friend who's touched by this. You know, this is such a problem for so many people, but nobody have to clear is just, but the transformative effect of getting somebody that connection is we've seen it, you know, thousands of times. And just the conversations you have with these kids, particularly these little girls who suddenly don't have to do this water collection anymore.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I talked to a girl in Haiti six seven years ago and I said, what are you going to do with all this time? Like she was spending four hours a day collecting water. And she was lucky. She was in school, but she would go after school. And I said, boy, are you going to do homework now? And she looked at me and she looked at me. And she looked at me and she was like, I'm the smartest kid in my class. I'm not, you know, and she said, and I said, and I was, thured, was just it dropped me. I mean I didn't lose it in front of her but I was like okay
Starting point is 00:21:06 thanks and I kind of walked away. I like you were you were Jason born in front of him and then you went around the corner and you're like yeah. Yeah.

It's just about, about, you know, giving people hope, giving people a chance to live up to their potential, letting a 13-year-old kid play because shouldn't every 13-year-old kid be allowed to play? Well, definitely.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And you guys are doing things, like people have seen the ads on TV where, for instance, Stella has 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, thi, their, their, thi, thi, thoomk, thoompea, th-a, th-a-a-a-a, th-a, th-a, th, thoom, thoom, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th........ And, the, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, thease, their, their, their, tea.ea.a.a.a.a. And, together, together, together, thea.a.a, these chalises that you can buy and if you buy one of these then they provide is it do they say five years five years of water for five years of water if you buy one of these and if people want to contribute directly to your organizations what what can they do? Water. Yeah yeah right there you can purchase a chalice or you can just make a straight donation there. Right, and if someone wanted an idea, because people like knowing that, people want to know like how many dollars a day can help somebody. Like how much would an average project take? Like what does it cost to the average person?
Starting point is 00:22:13 The average is about $25 if you look at it from that perspective. And if you look at the chalice, what we're doing is it takes only about $3 in donation to leverage that $25 through loans. And so that's why we can reach so many more people. For every dollar that we raise, we're leveraging that up because people are getting loans, those loans get repaid and get recycled and more people can get water with the same investment. And it also drives the philanthropic cost of capital per person reach down right as that money keeps circulating and coming back and going back and going out again. It's an th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th and more th and more th and more th and more th and more th and more th and more th and more th and more th and more tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho- tho-a tho-a tho-a tho-a tho-a tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho thoe the the theeeea to toooan. toan. toooooooa. toooooeeeea. th an amazing cause you guys are doing amazing things.
