You're listening to Comedy Central. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but

how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. February 18, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters, this is the daily show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Yeah! Yes! Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody, how's it going on? Thank you so much for coming out and thank you for tuning in. Let's get into it. Let's get into it.

Our guest tonight, the director of the Oscar-nominated documentary, Minding the Gap. Big New is joining us, everybody. A really, really interesting documentary we're going to be talking about. Also on the show tonight, America is in a national emergency. Colin Kappenik has finally signed with the NFL and the reason so many white people are talking about empire. But first, Happy President's Day. Yeah, I'll be honest. This is another American holiday I don't quite understand.

Yeah, you pull a president out of the ground and then if it sees its shadow, there's six more weeks of democracy. Do I have it right? thia thia thia thia thia thiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to too. thi. to to too too too tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. too. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. too. th. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. th. th. th. th. th. th. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. th. to th. the ground and then if it sees its shadow, there's six more weeks of democracy? Is that the thing? And I know a lot of people today have work off, but we at the Daily Show couldn't take a break because there's so much news to talk about. In fact, there's too much news. Thankfully though, too much news is, as vice president, his most important job is to be so unlikable that Congress never goes through with impeaching President Trump. But another part of his job is representing Trump to America's allies around the world,

which sometimes gets a bit awkward. In Germany today, Vice President Mike Pence found little agreement with this country's allies on many key issues. Vice President Pence, in the eye of the storm, scolding Europe's top officials for sticking with the Iran nuclear deal and evading U.S. sanctions. It was a chilly reception from the moment he arrived here at the Munich Security Conference last night. I bring greetings from the 45th President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump. Last August. Wow. Not a single person in that room clapped when he mentioned the, like even the crickets left. They were like,

Kuh, k-kri, nah, you're right, hashtag not my president, yeah. That is the most awkward thing to happen to Mike Pence since he watched Magic Mike by mistake. That's, mother, I think they made their shirts disappear. And to be fair, that room probably does hate Donald Trump. But Mike Pence would be the worst hype man for anything. Like if you put him on stage with a super popular rapper, it'll be like, females in the crowd. If you're enjoying your evening,

please make yourselves heard artibly at this time. Not a normal day, we could spend all our time talking about how this awkward silence was just another sign of the deteriorating relationship between the U.S. and Europe. But there's no time for that, because back in the States, there's big news about another strained relationship. A new development in the wake of reached between Kaepernick and the NFL. Ever since he ignited a national debate about racial injustice and kneeling during the national anthem, Colin Kaepernick hasn't been able to find a job in football.

While Kaepernick had gained a national following, becoming the face of Nike and to target a president Trump is fired. An intense legal fight had been underway with Kaepernick's lawyers confronting NFL owners and league officials. Now, in a joint statement, the NFL and Kaepernic's lawyers say, the parties have decided to resolve the pending grievances, subject to a confidentiality agreement, so there will be no further comment. That's right, baby, Colin Kappenix getting paid. Getting paid. Yes. After two years of fighting with the NFL, both sides have reached a settlement. And people are speculating that he got anywhere between $60 and $80 million. Yeah. Now Colin's going to be kneeling because his pockets are so full he can't stand up.

That's why, ah, just too heavy to get up. And I'm glad that Kaepinick is getting paid, especially after the NFL blackballed him for protesting. But I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. It is a little weird that he agreed to sign their NDA. Because now, everyone who supported Colin, will never know the full story of what the NFL did to him, you to him, to him, to him, to him, thin, thin, the the thin, the thin, the the thi, their, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, their, their, and, their, their, their, their, their, their, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is...... And, is the the the the the the the the the the the their, is their, is their, is their, is their, they. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, is their, is their, is their, is their, is the full story of what the NFL did to him, you know? It's like, we don't know. It's in secret. It's like if Martin Luther King came out and was like,

my friends, I've been to the mountaintop, you're like, and what it's like? I can't talk about it. I signed an NDA. And look, the truth is, this is one of those stories that's bound, thiiii, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, I thin, I the thin, I's thin, I's thin, I's thin, I's thin, I'm tho, I'm thi, I's thi, I'm tho, I've tho, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I've thi, I's thi, I's thi, I's thi, I's thin, I's thin, I's thin, I's thin, I's thin, thin, the the thin, the thin, thin, thin, thin, thoan, thrown, thrown, throwneeeeeean, throwneee, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, uth is, this is one of those stories that's bound to get people arguing, right? Some are going to say that Colin sold out. Some will say that he didn't. Some are going to say that him getting blackballed is a separate issue from his kneeling protest either way. We don't have the time to get into all of it.

Because while the NFL is trying to win back black Americans, the NBA and the International Basketball Federation plan to launch a 12-team league in Africa. Former President Barack Obama is expected to play a key role in that league. Scheduled for launch in January 2020, the Basketball Africa League will be the NBA's first collaboration to run a pro sports league outside of North America. That's right. The NBA is launching a 12-team basketball league in Africa, which is bound to be awkward when they're trying to recruit players.

And they're going to get there like, hey Africa, so America's searching for the biggest, strongest people you have. There's going to be a draft, the owners are going to pick who they like best. So what do you guys say? Africa's would like, ah, white man, we are not falling for that again, huh? Not this time, not this time, eh? Enslave me once, shame on you. Inslave me try, say mone, huh? Now look, I won't like, I think it's cool that the NBA is trying to come to Africa, but I also think that Africa is too big for a 12-team league, right? You understand, like, your away game is going to be like 10 hours away. And you may not realize how big Africa is because of those racist-ass maps that make

the US look as big as Africa. But it's not. Like, look at how many th th. Africa's so big, it can fit three United States inside of it. Africa's so big, it can fit seven Africa's inside of it. Africa's so big, it can even fit your mama inside of it. That's right. This whole thing was a yo mama joke. That's all it was. It was a your mama joke.

That's all it was. It was a yo mama joke. That's all it was. The most elaborate yo mama joke ever. And we could spend all day talking about yo mama, but we just don't have the time. Because there's someone we like to make even more fun of President Trump. President Trump may have been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by the Japanese Prime Minister. Shenzo Abe has not denied the nomination but will not make a comment about it either. The president said Friday hit he had been nominated by Abe. A Japanese newspaper says someone in the Trump administration asked Abe to do so.

Wow. Wow, I don't even know what to say. President Trump might have asked the Japanese Prime Minister to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Which is such poor etiquette, man. Someone's supposed to do that because they want to do it, all right? Not because you begged for it. It's like a marriage proposal or a blowjob. If you're begging for it, if you're begging for it, that's just sad, okay? And you have to have a really high opinion of yourself to do this.

Like I would never ask someone to nominate me for sexiest man alive. That's not really my style. No, no, no, no, I'm... No, I'm just focused. I don't care about that, guys. I'm just focused on being me. I guess I'm just mysterious like that. Ugh, 255.

256. Ugh. Now, we could talk about Trump's actual achievements in North Korean diplomacy or the medical definition of malignant narcissism, but we don't have the time for that. Because there's one big story that everyone's talking about. By now, you've all probably heard about the incident involving Empire actor, Jussie Smollett. According to Smollett, he was walking the streets of Chicago a few weeks ago at 2 a.m.

Trying to get a subway sandwich, when when when when when when when when when when when when when the the the the the streets of Chicago a few weeks ago at 2 a.m. Trying to get a subway sandwich. When he was beaten up by two white guys, and not just any two white guys, these guys recognized Smollett from Empire, and then they beat him up while shouting homophobic and racist slurs at him. Then they threw a noose around his neck, poured bleach on him and yelled, this is Maga country. But now it seems like maybe there's a lot more to the story.

Chicago police want to re-interview Empire actor Jussie Smollett after getting new information about the alleged attack against him. Two brothers told police Smollett paid them to stage the attack. That's right. The police now believe that Smollett staged his own attack, which would be insane. But you have to admit, there's a certain part of the story

that was always a little weird. Like, who are the mega supporters who hate gay people, who hate black people, but also happen to watch Empire? Like, I've heard of hate watching, but also happened to watch Empire. Like, I've heard of hate watching, but that shit would be next level. It's like a member of the clan buying tickets to fiddle on the roof. Just like, look, I'm no fan of the Jews, but you've got to admit they can play a mean fiddle. So now, it's being reported that Jussie Smollett paid a couple of guys to fake this attack. But who would accept money to do such a thing?

These guys. Sources say, these Nigerian brothers told Detective Smollett directed them to buy the rope at this hardware store and reportedly even rehearsed the assault ahead of time. Ola and Abel Ossendairo were captured on surveillance video around the time Smollett said he was attacked. Ola Osandair is connected to Smolet through Empire, where he played a prisoner in season two. One of the men was the actor's personal trainer.

Hold up, hold up, hold up. So Smolet's Nigerian personal trainer is one of the guys who beat him up. That doesn't make sense. Unless maybe his trainer was just really pissed off that Smollett was eating subway. Maybe that's what it was. He just went then and he's like, ah, what did I tell you? No cops after 7 p.m. oh? The story is so weird. I'm sorry, like, I don't care who you are.m. or The story is so weird. I'm sorry, like, I don't care who you are.

This is a weird story, because now they're saying that Jussie rehearsed the attack a few days before it happens. And look, I'm not gonna lie. That's the one part of the story that actually makes sense to me. Because if I was paying these two to beat me up, I would want look at this photo. How many abs does the guy on the left have? It looks like he stole a couple of abs from the other guy. So in the public eye, this story has moved from a hate crime against a popular TV actor to a giant hoax by a popular TV actor.

But Smollett still insists there was no collusion. Who the fuck is something up or add something to it? You do such a disservice when you lie about things like this. If the attackers are never found, how will you be able to heal? I don't know. Let's just hope that they are. You know what I'm saying? Like, let's not go there yet.

Let's, um, I was talking to a friend and I said, I just want them to find them. And she said, sweetie, they're not gonna find them. They're just made me so angry. Okay. Either this guy is telling the truth, or he deserves an Emmy for that interview. Because if all of that is just a performance, I don't care what he's lying about. You can't cancel him. He's too good to not be on TV. But that's basically where

the story is now. And look, I don't know how it's going, because every day the story just gets stranger and stranger. Tomorrow we could find out that those Nigerian brothers are actually princes and they needed the money to unlock their royal inheritance. I don't know where this is going. Or maybe they're a part of the NBA team that Obama is forming in Africa. We don't know. We don't know. And we'd love to keep wildly speculating about all of it, but we just don't have the time because we have to go to a commercial break.

We'll be right back. 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. President Trump's border wall. It was his number one campaign promise, but now Trump can't find anyone willing to pay for it. Mexico refused to pay for it. Congress refused to pay for it. He tried to put it on Jared's credit card, but couldn't figure out how the chip works.

I was like, sir, you couldn't figure out how the chip works. I was like, sir, you're pulling it out too soon. He's like, well, I don't know if this machine is on the pill. I'm not getting trapped again. I don't want another Eric. And so on Friday, on Friday, the president had no other choice but to take emergency. In the Rose Garden, the president did what the to to to to to to to to to to the to 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 did what he had long threatened to do, declaring a national emergency to get billions of dollars Congress wouldn't give him to build his border

wall. Now the battle moves to the courts, with challenges coming from border states, landowners, and others, and they're already pointing to this stunning admission. I didn't need to do this, but I'd rather do it much faster. Wait, hold up. So Trump admittedededededededededededededededed to need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need need to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to need to do this, but I'd rather do it much faster. Wait, hold up. So Trump admitted he didn't need to declare an emergency. He's just doing it to save time. That sort of negates his entire argument.

It would be like a pilot coming out of the cockpit with a parachute saying, look, I don't have to open the emergency door, but we're right over my house and I don't want to fight traffic. Thank you for flying spirit airlines! But look, you can argue about it, but true thinks that Mexicans coming over the border is a national emergency. And so in response, America has to build a wall, which is a very gradual response to an emergency. It's like, sir, they're invading. Should we mobilize our tanks and call in airstrikes? No, no, no, bring me your finest bricklayers. In three to five years, they'll

regret invading us. So look, Trump knows that this isn't the end of the border wall fights. Because it's a national emergency, this declaration will will will will will will will to be to be to be to be to be. the caaauction. th. th. th this isn't the end of the border war fights, right? Because it's a national emergency, this declaration will be challenged in the courts. And we know he knows this because he wrote a song about it. We will have a national emergency, and we will then be sued, and they will sue us in the Ninth Circuit, even though it shouldn't be there, and we will possibly get a bad ruling and then we'll get another bad ruling and then we'll end up in the Supreme Court and hopefully we'll get a fair shake and we'll win in the Supreme Court just like the ban. They sued us in the Ninth Circuit and we lost and then we lost in the appellate division and then we went to the Supreme Court and we won. Okay that was super weird. Why is you talking like that? It sounds like like th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th like he th th th like he th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thu- thu- thu- thui thi thu- thu- thu- the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the 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 th thin thin thin thin thin the thin the thin the thu thu thu the toe toe toe the toe the the thi the thi the thuuu thu thu thu thu thu thu went to the Supreme Court and we won. Okay, that was super weird.

Why is he talking like that? It sounds like he's being auto-juned, but it's very addictive. I don't think I can stop now. Somebody helped me. But as crazy as his delivery was, I think we should at least be thankful that he used it to time after like a giant earthquake who like there was this big earthquake

lots of people were trapped we're gonna do our best but expect the worst I'm not saying move on but even if your husband has survived his face is probably smushed and all gross but surprisingly surprisingly Cardi D's jam over here probably wasn't wrong right right? His prediction of the court battle makes sense. It really does. It makes sense, which made me think, what if the whole time, the key to making Trump a smarter president is to just teach him in song form? Maybe that's why he doesn't retain information.

His advisors should do this the next time they have to explain anything to Trump. They should be like, sir, we've been monitoring sectarian violence in Yemen and if you look sexterian what did you say? I don't understand. Well sir, sir you have the Sunnis and you have the Shiites, this conflict goes back thousands of years. Now I get it. Honestly, it didn't even sound like Trump was singing. It sounded like he was trying to play his own speech on Guitar Hero. And we will possibly get a bad ruling, and then we'll get another bad ruling, and then we'll end up in the Supreme Court, and hopefully we'll get a fair shake, and we'll win in the

Supreme Court, just like the ban, they sued us in the Ninth Circuit, and we lost, and then we lost in the appellate division, and then we went to the Supreme Court, and we won. You rock! Now, as you'd expect, prominent Democrats. th, and th, and to, and to, and to, and to, to, to to to to to to to the to the to to the the the the to the the went to the Supreme Court, and we won. You rock. Now, as you'd expect, prominent Democrats are calling Trump's emergency declaration an unconstitutional power grab, because only Congress should decide how to appropriate money. And while Trump now thinks that executive action is the way to go, back in the day, he had a very different opinion. I'll make great deals, and we'll get them done. And we don't way to go. Back in the day he had a very different opinion. I'll make great deals and we'll get them done and we don't have to use executive orders and all this stuff that Obama is using. We're not going to be

opening our borders or closing our borders based on executive orders. You get them in a room and you make a deal. But certainly he has not been able to do that and now he has to use executive action and this is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very. the the the their. their. their. their. their. their their. to. to. to to to to to to to be to to their their their to their. to their. to to to to to to to to their. to the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. the the they. the they. the they. the the they. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. the. thi. the able to do that and now he has to use executive action and this is a very, very dangerous thing The whole concept of executive order. It's not the way the country is supposed to be run You're supposed to go through Congress and make a deal and go and talk to people and get the guys in there And you know whether you're Republican or Democrat. You're supposed to all get together So there you have it, once again. President Trump is full of shit. He criticized Obama for the thing he's doing now.

But you'll thank Trump when the national emergency is over in three to five years, provided the drug dealers don't figure out how to build tunnels. Oh no, I'm stuck. Let's go to an ad break so I can get my brain checked out. We'll be right back. I can't stop. I gotta do this thing. It's that the main thing. Welcome back to the Gator's Show. My guest tonight is a filmmaker whose critically acclaimed documentary Minding the Gap

is nominated for an Academy Award. Please welcome. Bing Lu. Thank you. Thanks. And congratulations on an Oscar nomination. Thank you so much. It's unreal. Yeah. I can only imagine. Crazy. I think what Thank you so much. It's unreal. Yeah. I can only imagine. That's crazy.

I think what connects with so many people when watching this film is that it really is a journey through life. Right? You started filming this when you were a kid. What was it like 12 years ago maybe? Well, 12 years of footage, wasn't until the last few months of editing that went into archival and was able to expand the sense of time in the film that you feel. Right. But you, when you started filming this, did you know that this was going to be a long project? Were

you just filming your friends skateboarding? Because that's what the film seems like, it's, it's about skateboarding, culture I don't know if you did. Well I did I think you know so much of documentary storytelling is in the edit so a lot of it was just reverse engineered so skateboarding and that love of skateboarding just becomes the Trojan horse for you know all these other issues to emanate out of so. And the issues in this documentary are really gripping I I mean at one point you're just watching a th. 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 their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thee. the. the. Somea. So.'re just watching a bunch of kids skateboarding and then you're seeing them and they've grown up and you and you these are your friends as well but these people let you into their lives you know as we saw in the clip you have a young man talking about you know in his home how he was disciplined and how do we be turned

abuse today and you you look at cycles of abuse and pain. How did you you th you told without making it feel like you were giving away your friend's secrets? Well, I think it's a two-way street, right? I mean, that moment in the film that you just saw was the first time he ever talked about his father and what it was like growing up with him. And, you know, the pain and also the guilt that he felt about what happened between the two of them. Right. I mean, you know, he wanted to talk about it. I think most young people just aren't given the space to be able to just process these things. I think people think it's actually harder than it actually is to be able to just get this out of young people. As long as you come from a non-judgmental, actually, the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-n, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, the, 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, thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, think young people really want to talk about these things. Many people have said that this film is one of the greatest, I guess, observations into America as a whole. It's not just about this town, it's about almost every town. Why do you think it connected in the way it did? I think we live, especially as a millennial, you know, I'm 30 years old. I think we live in a time in a time, I'm a time time time time time time time time time time time time time time a time a time a time a time time a time time a time a time a time a time time thiiii, I'm a time thi, I'm a time thi, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm a time I'm a time I'm a time I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm a thi, I'm a thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm th. I'm th. I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I'm 30, I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi thi thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi. I thiiiii. I thiiiiiiiiiii. I thiii. I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I th we live in a time that's more connected than ever, but at the same time, also, people are feeling more isolated than ever.

I think the film really gets at that thesis. By the end of the climactic character arcs that we get to, you feel a sense of just how alone everyone feels and how, you know, misunderstood they feel their. Despite all the chosen family members that they've got got their th friends, despite all the, you know, the chosen family members that they've gotten and they've, that they've connected with, you know, I think everyone just wants to, they don't feel heard. Right. Have any of your friends watched the film?

Yeah, we showed that. So I told them early on, like, I don't want this misrepresented this way. So, you know, I think that's what helped me also, you know, in terms of just getting at these secrets that you talked about, because I knew, like, once we get to a certain point, they'll see it all in a story. And that way, you know of this moment, exactly. But no, this is just part of my journey. So when we show them all the film, you know, they were all on board because I think

they felt like there was a sense of being included in the process along the way. It's really come through as well because I mean, the film has done well with all audiences. It has 100% on rotten tomatoatoatoatoatoatoatoatoatoatoe. percent on rotten tomatoes. You know, critics are loving it, fans are loving it. Where do you go from here? Because I mean, you know, this is just the beginning for you. Like you said, it was a welcome surprise, but it is the beginning of your journey. Do you see yourself making more documentaries or do you have do you have aspirations to make all types of film? I think it's all downhill. I think it's all downhill. I th. th. th. th. th. It's all th. It's all th. It's all, it's all, it's all, it's all, it's all, it's th. th, it's just, it's th, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just is just is just is just is just is just is just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just is just, it's thi, it's thi, it's th.
