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. June 20, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Danish everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in.

Thank you all for coming out. As always, thank you. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is an Olympic champion and the greatest female skier of all time. Lindsay Vaughan is joining us everybody. Also on tonight's show, why everyone is is Tweeting about Sudan, your phone is making you grow horns and Joe Biden says some of his best friends are racist. So let's catch up on today's headlines.

Let's begin with an update on the growing tensions between the US and Iran, where things are growing only even more tensiony. Escalating crisis. American authorities now confirming Iran shot down a U.S. drone this morning, saying it was flying in international airspace. Iran does not deny shooting down the U.S. aircraft, but claims it was in Iranian territorial airspace. This drone is one of America's most sophisticated unarmed surveillance aircraft, the commander of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, saying our borders or our redline,

any enemy that violates them will not return and will be destroyed. Oh man, shit is getting heated. And once again, both sides have their stories. Iran says they shot down the drone because it was sides have their stories. Iran says they shot down the drone because it was flying over their country. But America says it wasn't flying over Iran, it was just flying very, very close. Yeah, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, mom Iran hit me! Now I get where America is coming from. Because, you see, here's a map of the region, okay?

And this is the border of Iran. The US says the drone was flying here in international airspace. And if that's true, then that's clearly an act of aggression by Iran. Although, just for context, the border of the United States is over here. You know, just gives it a bit more perspective. And by the way, I think it's funny how the media is showing all those pictures of the drone and talking about its history and how precious it was. It's almost like America has to do something because the drone left behind an entire drone.

Now that family is unmanned. It's a drone, guys. It's a drone. You don't have to go to war over over a to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, the, to, the, to, and, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, to, too, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, is.e, is.e, is.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.a.e.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. accuse me of being anti-American, the commander-in-chief basically said the same thing today in a press conference. Yeah, and you know what? I agree with Trump. Yeah, I said it. I don't think America should launch a full-out war to avenge a flying rumba. All right? So let's move on to some domestic news. Roy Moore, you may remember him as the gun-toting judge who was banned from the mall because he wouldn't stop hitting on teenagers. Well, hide your kids Alabama because he's back.

Controversial Alabama Republican Roy Moore just announced he is going to make another run for the US Senate seat that he lost in that special election in 2017. Judge Morgan said you planned to win this time. Can you talk about what are you going to do different than 2017? Well, I think I'll be able to make more, I would like to make more personal contact with people. You want to make more personal contact with people? You want to make more personal contact?

Yeah, right now more cops across Alabama are calling for backup. Guys, Roy Moore's back. We need to form a hot parameter around hot topic. Let's get to it. But as much as we make fun of him, Roy Moore may have a chance. Right now, the polls put him at 27%. Now, obviously he prefers numbers to be 10 years below that, but still. And speaking of do-overs, there's some exciting news from the world of entertainment.

Avengers End Game, coming out in theaters again. In an attempt to get more people to buy more tickets, the movie is being re-released featuring a new previously deleted scene. The movie is already in second place for all-time domestic ticket sales and has earned over 2.7 billion dollars at the global box office. That leaves it just 44 million behind another Disney-owned film avatar. Yes, that's right. Avengers Endgame is coming back to cinemas with new added scenes. And I gotta say these bonus scenes from Marvel are getting out of control because at first

Marvel just made us sit through the credits to see them. Now they're like like like like like like like come like come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come come back back back back. th back. th back. th back. th. their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their thi. tho-a' tho-a' tho-a tho-a 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 th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thei. thoooooooooooooooo. to. to. thooooo. the. the. the. the. from Marvel are getting out of control. Because at first, Marvel just made us sit through the credits to see them. Now they're like, come back in five weeks. Yeah, that's power. But you know, I think it's actually kind of cool to remake the movie and put it out again. Like, I like the idea of a world, where we can be like, I'm going to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see Avengers to see Avengers be a broader trend. They should just change scenes in other movies make it more interesting. Yeah, like in Star Wars

Changes that famous scene so that Darth Vader is like, Luke, I am your neighbor. He's like, wait, that was you upstairs? Come and join me on the co-op board. I'll never join you! And finally, finally, we all know the technology is going to change humans forever. But I really don't think 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 thi thi thi th th thi th thi thi th thi thi thi, thi, th- th- th- th- th- thus thus thus thus thus thus 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.

But I really don't think any of us are quite prepared for how much we're about to change. Disturbing story here. New research suggesting that young people are developing horn-like spikes on the back of their skulls and cell phones may be to blame. Researchers in Australia say that these bone spurs are caused by constantly tilting the head forward. The researchers say their discovery their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their discovery their discovery their discovery. their discovery. their discovery. their discovery. their discovery. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. thi, tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thoomuu. thoomu. thoe thoe thoe thoe th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thiiiii. th. thi. thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. toeuu. thi. thi. thi spurves are caused by constantly tilting

the head forward. The researchers say their discovery marks the first documentation of skeletal adaptation to the use of technology in everyday life. Health experts have already warned of text neck, but that condition is not clearly defined. Yeah, that's right. You can get horns in the back of your skull from constantly looking at your phone. Which is freaking cool. I didn't look at my phone more often. Wow. But no, but this is completely serious. In fact, you might already have one.

Like, everyone can check now. They say, if you place two fingers at the back of your base of your skull, and if that bone there is sticking out. If you can feel it, if you can feel a bone sticking out, it, it, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the th, th, the th, th, th, the the th, th, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from the the thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from the thi, from the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, from the the the the the the the the the thi, from the the th, from th, from the the th, from th, from th, from th, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, from thi, to thi, to to thi, thi. thiii. thii. to thi. thi. to thi, from constantly thi, from constantly the the the back of your base of your skull, and if that bone there is sticking out, if you can feel it, if you can feel a bone sticking out, it means you use your phone too much. Yeah, and then if you don't have that bone, scientists say it's because you're an asshole who doesn't text back. And that's not the only way that phones are physically making us change. If this finger has gotten longer, it's probably because you're always going, oh, can I borrow a charger, please? Can I?

Can I? And I don't know about you guys, but this news totally freaked me out. Because you realize what this means for human evolution, right? If we keep using our phones, eventually our skulls are just going to crane forward, and then our hands are going to change. I'm just going to come here because here here, tho tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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, to, to, tooooooooooooooooooooooooi. tog. toge, togu. to, to, t come here because we spend our time texting. So now we're just basically turning into dinosaurs. That's where we are. Yeah, we're just like turning into te-rexes. That's us. Maybe that's what the T-rex was. It was like a human who just texted a lot. If you think about it, we're already that. We're like on our phones that we see something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something All right, let's move on to our main story.

With the first debates coming up next week, the Democratic primary race is hotter than ever before. So let's check in on the latest race without talking about Joe Biden. Not only is he the frontrunner and former host of the Price's Rights, but he's been leading in the polls since the day he announced his run. But that doesn't mean it's been smooth sailing. He took heat for flip-flopping on a major abortion policy. He faced questions about his voting record, and of course, we all remember,

when he had to apologize for giving people surprise massages. Yes. Now, surprise being the operative word, because massages are nice, but nobody wants a surprise massage. Yeah, just like a road trip is great, but a surprise road trip is just kidnapping. And this week, this week, Biden has continued his scandal streak with comments he made about missing the old days. Joe Biden is under fire this evening on comments he made about working alongside segregationist senators in the past. Biden recalling his early Senate career bringing up two segregationist senators in the past. Biden recalling his early Senate career,

bringing up two segregationist senators, Herman Talmadge and James Eastland, who called African-Americans an inferior race. I was in a caucus with James O'Eastlain, Biden said. He never called me boy. He always called me son. At least there was some civility. We got things done. We didn't agree on much of anything. We got things done. We didn't agree on much of anything. We got things done. Biden made the comments despite his aides, having long urged him not to discuss his relationships with segregationist senators.

Joe Biden, what are you doing? You can't come out in 2019 and say that these two senators from back in the day were super racist, but at least they were civil. Yeah, civil to you, maybe. Of course, they they they they they they they they never they never they never they never they never they never they never they never they never they never they never they never they they they they they they they were civil. Yeah, civil to you, maybe. Of course, they never called you boy, you're white. Biden's running around, like, I work with these senators, Senator Eastland many times, and not once did he call me the N-word. Yeah.

Oh, I mean, there was that one time, but I had a tan, so I understand. Now, now, the reason Joe Biden told told, even though his advisors told him not to, is because he's trying to set himself up as the guy who can work with adversaries in Congress even if he disagrees with their views. The problem is, by saying this, he may have created new adversaries within his own party. Those comments have prompted swift criticism from his 2020 rivals, including Kamala Harris, who weighed in moments ago. To coddle the reputations of segregationists, of people who, if they had their way,

I would literally not be standing here as a member of the United States Senate, is, I think, it's just, it's misinformed and it's wrong. Now, Senator Corey Booker was among the first candidates to come out and push back on Biden for these comments. He said Vice President Biden's relationships with proud segregationists are not the model for how we make America a safer and more inclusive place for black people and for everyone. And frankly, I'm disappointed that he hasn't issued an immediate apology. Yeah, I get what these sentences are saying. You see, for many people, it felt like Joe Biden was saying that being polite was more

important than not being racist, which is not how black people feel. No, black person's like, I know they think we're subhuman as a species, but at least they said go back to Africa, please. And now I would believe, I would believe it if Biden said that his story wasn't meant to offend black people and that his comments were taken the wrong way. But he definitely didn't help himself when he responded to the criticism like this. This morning, a defiant Joe Biden is refusing calls to apologize for comments that he made about finding common ground with a senator who supported segregation.

I ran for the United States Senate because I disagreed with the views of the segregation. The point I'm making is, you don't have to agree. Are you going to apologize? Like, Corey Buckeyer has called for it? I'm not a racist bone in my body. He knows better. If not a racist bone in my body, I've been involved in civil rights my whole career. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Joe.

Not a racist bone in your body. Who said you were racist? People said your comments were tone deaf. And now you're like, I don't have a racist. I don't have a racist. This one was from texting too much. Corey didn't say he was racist. He just comes out, I'm not racist. It's like a cop pulls you over and is like,

excuse me, sir, do you know how fast you were going? And you're like, I did not kidnap anyone. That was a surprise road trip officer. Maybe you should apologize. Because what the fuck was that about. I can't believe Joe Biden told Corey Booker to apologize, which by the way, which by the way, undermines Biden's whole entire point. This whole thing started because he's selling himself as someone who knows how to work in a civil way with people he disagrees with.

Yeah, but when senators in his own party disagree with him, his response is basically, eat-shappar, their response is basically, eat shit. So a week before the democratic debates kick off, clearly the pressure is starting to build. And Joe Biden as the frontrunner, look man, you better get used to criticism because everyone is going to be watching what you say. Instead of snapping at people, you got to learn to keep your cool. You've got to relax. In fact, maybe, maybe you should give yourself one of those surprised massages. We'll be right back.

If you've been online lately, you've probably noticed, well, two things. One, it's Kianna's world and we're all just living in it. And two, everyone has been posting about Sudan. People around the world are using Instagram to raise awareness about the recent violence in Sudan. There's been a wave of postings using the hashtag blue for Sudan.

Actor and activist George Clooney is using his celebrity to draw attention to the ongoing political and humanitarian crisis in Sudan. U.S. celebrities including Rianna, Nick Jonas and Bella Hadid are using their social media platforms to raise awareness. Yeah, this is amazing. People are using social media to raise awareness about the crisis in Sudan. And honestly, I never thought I'd see the day where a thirst trap would be used for a noble cause. Yeah. No, because usually on Instagram it's just like, look at my ass, now buy tummy tea.

But now it's like, look at my ass and pray for Sadat. And you may be wondering, what is happening that's causing a crisis in Sudan? Well we figured let's get into it in another installment of, if you don't know, now you know. to know. To understand what's going on in Sudan right now, you have to go back 30 years, when Sudan got something that almost always guarantees oppression and unrest, a dictator. Our Al-Bashir came to power in a military coup in 1989 and survived for 30 years through cunning and brutality.

In southern Sudan, and Darfur, his militias scorched earth and massacred his enemies. Hundreds of thousands died and suffered from famine. He was indicted for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Since 1989, 75-year-old Omar al-Bashir forcibly united Sudan by waging wars while wearing a smile. You know, the only thing worse than a dictator is a smiling dictator. Yeah, because now you're a maniac with a creepy-ass grin. Like, we all know how terrifying Hitler looks. And I imagine if you were smiling. Yeah, I can't look at that. Take that shit down.

So for 30 years, Omar al-Bashir ruled over Sudan with an iron fist, and there were many failed attempts to overthrow him. But it turns out the secret ingredient to a successful revolt was bread. The protest began in December 2018 in the city of Ababa. The sudden tripling of the cost of bread sparked the initial protests, but they quickly turned into anti-government rallies, calling for the resignation of al-Bashir. After 30 years in power, President Omar al-Bashir has been forced out of power by the country's military. The army has dissolved the government and declared a state of emergency.

That's right. After 30 years in power, this dictatorship ended because people didn't have bread. Which must be really confusing to people in California. Yeah. Because they start riots if you give them bread. They're like, this doesn't have carbs right, because if it does, I will burn this fucking store to the ground! So two months ago, the people of Sudan finally got rid of their dictator, and you could tell that it was a big deal because people were cheering online, celebrating in

town squares and even partying in the streets. I mean, just look at that joy, huh? People were dancing in the traffic. It's like an African Lala land. But just like Lala land's joy at the Oscars, the people of Sudan's victory was short-lived. Sudan's defense minister said the military is suspending the Constitution and will take charge of the country for the next two years. One week after they deposed a dictator, Sudanese demonstrators are still on the streets.

They too want to replace a military-led regime they consider corrupt with a civilian-led government. That is such a horrible and unfortunate twist. The military helped the people deposed the dictator, and then they decided to take his place, which is a classic Lord of the Rings. Gollum works with the good guys to get rid of the ring, and at the end, when he sees an opening, he's like, my precious. So now you know the basics of what happened. The people of Sudan got rid of their dictator of 30 years. And now, right now, right now, they're fighting, their, wants to be their dictator for the next 30 years.

And you may be wondering, yeah, but Trevor, how are celebrities going to help? Is the general going to check Twitter and be like, oh no, Riana blocked me, I'll step down? Maybe not, maybe not. But already, the awareness campaign is bearing fruit. The US is sending a special envoy to Sudan, and the African Union has suspended Sudan until the military gives power back to the people. Yeah. And it's not just up to celebrities to shine a light on this. Any American can help. You can call your congressperson,

and you can urge them to keep the pressure on Sudan. You can actually make a difference, which is especially important today because it's World Refugee Day. Because while not everyone may agree on what to do with refugees, I think we can all agree that no one should have to become one in the first place. We'll be right back. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a three-time Olympic medalist and one of the greatest skiers of all time. Please welcome, Lindsay Vaughn. Wow, that's like the best applause I've ever gotten.

Many people say Lindsay Vaughn changed downhill skiing forever you know it was what seven world championship medals you completely

was nine? I mean I mean yeah and you should you change you genuinely I retired now so I got to like put myself off as much as I can, because like there isn't any more coming. What does it feel like to go from that world to being someone who was retired? Because you dominated the sport and you changed it forever, and then, you then, because of injury, had to just like slow down and change your life. Was that an easy shift for you to make to make to make to make to make to maketrying to say no to things, you know, I was, I had so much time on my hand I didn't know what to do, so I was like, yes, yes, yes, I'll, you know, go here and go here and go here. And then my boyfriend Pique is like, um, you're gone more than you're going. You're going. thi. th. th. th. th. th. to, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're to, you're to, you're to, you're to, you're th. th. You're thi.

Like, I stay home and I take care of the dogs and I like make breakfast. You say that, you say that, but, but at the same time, you're a business woman. You run an organization that moves, you're, you, tha. tha. tha. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. that, th. th. th. th. th. th.

We see you at events cheering on great causes. You're still an advocate for the sport. I mean, you are doing a bunch of kick-ass things. I just think it doesn't compare to your previous schedule because how many races do you have in a year? There's not as much adrenaline. That's the thing. Like, if your life involved falling tha thia thia thia thiiiiii thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, you're thi, you're thi, you're thi, you're thi, you're thi, you thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th.

Yeah, I mean, that's why I saved skydiving for like,

like after I'm retired. Right. Because I knew that was going to come in handy later on. Does it compare? I haven't done it yet? Oh, so you're still going to go skydiving. Yeah, I'm going to do it. Like, that's why I didn't do it before. Right. Because I had the adrenaline, now I don't. So now I'm going to go skydive. Yes.

To like, you know. Just to see if you can, just to get that feeling back. Yeah. Just to see what. No, that's white people things, no. No. No. No, why would I do that? I have no business on the slopes. I love you. You're awesome. What was the question?

I got distracted. No, I'm saying, what is the scariest part of skiing? It's not scary. At all? No. How fast are you going? Why do you think I did it for 19 years? Because you are insane? No, no, because genuinely you're a fearless person. Like when you're going down a slope and we've seen those clips of you flying down, how fast are you going at your peak? Probably 85, 90? 85 what, 90 what? Miles an hour. You see, I was thinking kilometers and now it doubled.

Right. That's really fast. You are breaking like speed limits of the freeway down a slope. And you've crashed. You've broken how many bones in your body? A lot. And you've come back every single time. Like, what is the hardest part of recovering?

That's one thing I've always wanted to know is like because your bone is broken, your body is broken, it must be harder and harder to come back. How did you keep on doing it? It was hard. I mean I think it just takes time. Like it's really it's really boring. You're always doing the same thing over and over and over and over and of course like me falling and being hurt so many times. It's like even more just compounds and compounds. I'm like like, th, th, th, th, like, th, like, like, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, tho, tho, th, I th, thi, I tho, I thoes thoes, I thi, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I I th, I I I th, I I I I I I I th, I I I I I th, I I I th, I I I I I I I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I thi, I thin, I thin, I'm thin, I'm thin, I'm thi's thin, thi's thi's thii's thi's thi's thi thi thi thi th compounds. I'm like, can I just stop crashing? It'd be really great if I could just keep winning and not crash. But that's a thing about ski racing, though. It's not scary to me, but that's inevitably the risk that you take. Is that you could fall at any time. And I always tell people, you know, when I'm going to the when you're driving on the highway. That's kind of what it feels like to ski that fast,

but then jump out of the car when you're going on the highway. And that's what it feels like when you're crashing. Don't jump out of your car. Just take her word for it. Do not jump out of your car or stick your head out of the window on the freeway. I feel like in many ways you crashing and getting up has been what made Lindsay such an icon. Is that like people saw you as a legend because of that you won but then you came back?

A lot of people can win, but it's really hard to come back from that level of adversity. Your foundation, strong girls camp in many ways speaks to that idea. Why did you start the camp? Why did you start that initiative? And what does it mean for you? Well, I think for me, the best thing that came out of all of my injuries, and not jumping out of cars, but was that I had the time to start my foundation. And the mission, like you said, is to empower young girls? Because now, you know, with the horns going on to the back of our heads, there's a lot, there's a lot going on with social media and just the

bullying and, you know, lack of self-confidence is astounding. So, you know, the premise came from when I met my idol, Pigaboo Street when I was nine years old. I met with her for two minutes and because of her I wanted to to be an Olympian. So I tho- tho-I th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because th, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because thi, because, because thi, because to be, I to be, I to be, I to be their, to be, I to be, I to, I to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, their, I their, I their, their, their, their, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, their, their, their, to be an Olympian. That's amazing. So I thought if I can spend you know a whole day with kids what can I encourage them and inspire them to do and be and so that is why I started my foundation. You've been... Yes, thank you. You've been a champion on the slopes. You've been a three times sports illustrated model. Are you gonna say it's five now? You're gonna trick me? I'm ready. I'm ready. No, it's.

Are you gonna say it's five now? You're gonna trick me?

I'm ready. I'm ready. No, it's only in my bikini twice and paint once. So that, yeah, three times. Okay, I've only done paint, whatever. And you've also started skiing for so long, you know, but you've become bigger than just skiing. You know, people see Lindsay Vaughn as someone who speaks out for

issues, someone who fights for women's rights, someone who is a role model in the world. What are you looking to do now in the world now that you've really nice coming from you. Yeah, I appreciate that. No, I don't, you know, I don't know exactly what I want to do. I want to, I'm trying a lot of different things to see what I'm most passionate about because as you know, you need the passion to be able to be really successful at something. So I'm finishing my memoir, I've got my HBO documentary coming out this fall. I'm executive producing a movie with Robert Redford. So there's a lot of things in the pipeline.

I'm starting my own beauty company. I'm working with Arnold Schwarzenegger and LeBron on a nutrition company ladder. So it's like, there's, I've got a couple things going on. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Wonderful. Lindsay Bott, everybody. Thank you.
