Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about
Starting point is 00:00:34 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. November 8th, 2018. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Show everybody, thank you so much for tuning in.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Our guest tonight, our guest tonight, here to talk about his new album Poison Rapper and Businessman, New York's very own, Swiss Beach, everybody. I'm Trevor Noah, our guest tonight, here to talk about his new album Poison Rapper and Businessman, New York's very own, Swiss beats everybody! He's gonna be joining us, and I'm really excited because I'm half-swi's. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines. If you watched President Trump's crazy press conference yesterday, I'm sorry, and you probably know by now that he got in a big argument with CNN reporter, Jim Acosta, which happens all the time, right? They're like the 50 cents and jar rule of politics.
Starting point is 00:02:06 But what's new is that after the press conference, the White House banned Jim Acosta from the press room because they say that he assaulted the intern who try to take his microphone away from him. Yeah. And this White House does not tolerate grabbing women by the arm. It's only okay to grab them by the pussy, like a gentleman. And the problem with the White House explanation is that everybody saw that Acosta did not assault the intern. So the White House had to get a little creative with their evidence. A White House tried to grab the microphone and Acosta appeared to brush her arm.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted out a different video. One that was sent out by Info Wars, which is a far-right conspiracy theory website that has been known to push far-right extremist propaganda. This video was edited. It was sped up. And heavily manipulated, too. That's right. Donald Trump used a sped-up video from Info Wars.
Starting point is 00:03:05 The conspiracy website run by Alex Jones. Now, just for context, they've been banned by Twitter, YouTube and Spotify and every other website. But the White House is like, we got you, man. We got you. And yeah, the fact that Trump is now using doctored footage to prove something that everyone knows is a lie is deeply disturbing, but also, it's just lazy. All right?
Starting point is 00:03:26 If you're going to use a fake video, use a fake video. They should go all the way. Do something like this. It's a goddamn girl. Yeah, that totally happened. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that totally happened.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Moving on. Moving on, this morning, we got some disconcerting news about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg. She's recovering right now in the hospital after she fell in her office and broke three ribs. Now, of course, we want to give our best wishes to Justice Ginsburg. She's seen so much throughout her life. The rise of Nazism, the fight for civil rights, and that's just been the past six months. You know, the worst thing is, if you'd asked me which Supreme Court justice I thought would have fallen down at work, I would have picked Drunkunky McDrunk over here, not the fitness queen. So get well soon, Ruth.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And speaking of getting hurt, spanking is back in the news, and it turns out it does hurt them more than it hurts you. The country's leading pediatricians are speaking out against spanking. The American Academy of Pediatrics is calling for a ban on corporal punishment. Doctors say spanking is ineffective and may affect a child's brain development. Instead, doctors suggest parents use other methods of discipline like rewarding positive behavior and setting limits. Okay, look, I'm not saying that they're right or wrong,
Starting point is 00:04:55 but I got spanked as a child, and it didn't affect my brain, but by the bin. But whatever, I mean, maybe it's good to stop spanking. I'm just worried about the future of S&M, because you realize people turn their childhood punishments into their sexual fantasies, right? That's a thing people do. So if we stop spanking, then in 20 years,
Starting point is 00:05:13 what's that gonna be like? You're gonna see people in the bedroom like, oh, I've been so bad, you're gonna have to to have to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take their their their to take to take to to to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to take to on to our main story. Yesterday, President Trump fired his attorney general, Jeff Sessions. But before he left, he got to give his loyal subjects one final goodbye. With tears in his eyes, Jeff Sessions waving goodbye at a Justice Department's send-off, shaking hands with the man replacing him, just hours after the Attorney General was fired by President Trump. And that was it. After that ceremony, Jeff Sessions hopped on a
Starting point is 00:05:54 sleigh back to the North Pole where he will only have seven weeks to finish making all of those toys. Yeah, got to make all those toys for all those kids he put in cages. But since Sessions is gone, to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the thi's 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 the the they. they. they. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.

But since sessions is gone, too soon? Ah, since sessions is gone, let's focus on the man who's replacing him. In another installment of Profiles in Tremendousness. I have the most dedicated people. I have the best people. Meet Matt Whitaker, Acting Attorney General and rarely jacked humpty-dumpty. He was a tight end for the University of Iowa, a US attorney for five years, and a failed Senate candidate in 2014.
Starting point is 00:06:33 And in his spare time, he's an amateur powerlifter. Look at that. Look at that. Guys got police tape around him. That's confidence right there. He's like, you're going to want to tape this off because this off this off this off this off, because this off, because this off, because, because, to take this off because I'm about to murder these weights. Matt Whitaker basically seems like the exact opposite of Jeff Sessions. I mean, like, Sessions also posted a photo of himself powerlifting, but it wasn't as impressive. That's what
Starting point is 00:06:55 I'm saying. Look, I mean, we've got to get all our short jokes in now. It's now or never they're done. Now, apart apart from a former US attorney and looking like Bain during the offseason, there is one other thing about Whitaker that probably makes him the perfect pick for President Trump. He shares a similar passion for business ethics. Matt Whitaker, the now acting attorney general after Jeff Sessions was fired, he is now linked to a company referred to as a scam.
Starting point is 00:07:21 World patent marketing build itself as helping investors secure patents, and Whitaker was hands-on. It's a unique design that's going to help. Showcasing a hot-tub invention in this post from the company, the company that has since been shut down and slapped with the $26 million fine by federal authorities. How's America going to hire a guy who scams hot tub inventors as its top cop? because that seems seems has has has has has has has has has has has has has has has has has thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, they. they. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicici. I, thoicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicic, th... th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. And, th inventors as its top cop. Because that seems like a real conflict of interest to me. Like he'll be interrogating bad guys like, tell me who your partner is and be like, you are my partner.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Yeah, we had a good run, didn't we? Now if you think Whittaker looks familiar, you either just cleaned your bathroom, or, like the president, you've been watching a shit-ton of CNN, because every chance that Whitaker got, he was on the news saying this. He needs to step in and pull the reins back on Bob Mueller if he starts to go outside of those bounds of his delegation of authority. I think we should watch for Bob Mueller
Starting point is 00:08:18 if he's really going to go down these paths of unrelated financial transactions. The only difference between Watergate and this situation is actually Watergate, there were crimes that occurred, and right now we have no evidence of any crime happening. So the guy who's now in charge of the Mueller investigation was on CNN over a dozen times shit-talking Mueller and his investigation. That is so unfair to Robert Mueller. The guy was trash talking him and now that guy is his boss. And I know how much that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that sucks that s that sucks that s that s that s that s that s that sucks, because when I was in school, there was a kid who bullied me every single day, and then one day I got home,
Starting point is 00:08:47 and he was my stepdad. But it turns out it wasn't just a coincidence that Whittaker was on TV trashing Mueller, right? It was actually his latest scam. We know Matt Whitaker here. We know Matt Whitaker here. number of times. This is from attorney John Q. Barrett about a conversation he says that he had in the Green Room before their joint appearance. Okay, he says Whitaker told me in June of 2017 that he was flying out from Iowa to NYC
Starting point is 00:09:14 to be on CNN regularly because he was hoping to be noticed as a Trump defender and through that to get a trump judicial appointment back in Iowa. That is so devious and so impressive. He knew that Trump spends all day watching CNN, so he wasn't just trash talking Mala for no reason, right? He was trying to lure the president in. So basically Whittaker was on CNN laying thirst traps for Trump. And it worked because Trump slid in the DM's like, I'm DTF.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Down to fire sessions. But Whittaker's plan to get Trump's attention on TV worked even better than he expected, because all he wanted was to be a judge in Iowa. And now he's the acting attorney general. That's like applying to be a cashier at Ross Dress for Les, and then they're like, forget cashier, you're Ross. So that's Matt Whitaker, the man who's taking Jeff Sessions's job, but don't feel too bad for Jeff Sessions. I'm sure someone will offer him a job on cable news.
Starting point is 00:10:14 It's just going to be strange when Trump sees him on TV and he's like, I like that guy, he should be my attorney general. For more on Jeff Sessions getting fired, we turned out to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th, th. th. th, th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi. that's that's thi. thea. that's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi very own. Jules Sloan, everybody, joining us in the studio. Jeff Sessions is the 15th high-profile firing of the Trump presidency. Jeff Sessions is the 15th high-profile firing of the Trump presidency. Like, why do you think that Trump is firing so many people from his administration? Because he can get away with it. Every time Trump fires one of these bitch asses, they smile and nod and they crawl away. Scaramucci was up there crying. Sean Spencer went back to wherever his chin was.
Starting point is 00:11:03 And did you see Jeff Sessions? He was shaking hands with the man who took his job. If I had to shake hands with a person who took my job, you would have to find another person to take my job. And that person's gonna need to find a new hand. In fact, the only person who left with dignity is Amarosa. What are you talking about? Apparently O'Morosa got dragged out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out the the the the the the the the tho' tho' th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to.a. to. to. to. the. thi. th. th. th. th left for dignity is Omarosa. Whoa, what are you talking about? Apparently Omarosa got dragged out of the White House, kicking and screaming. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:29 And it worked. Trump hasn't fired a black woman since. Mm-hmm. I don't think... I don't think Trump has hired a black woman since. That's not my point, okay? My point is, you teach people how to treat you. I remember the last time I got fired, I was laying hands like it was Sunday morning.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Okay? I told them, if I'm not making money, y'all not making money. That's why there's no more circuit city. Wow, I'm not going to lie. I wish I had known all of this this this thia thia tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha thi, I tho, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I'd thi, I'd tho, I'd thi, I'd thus, I'd tho, I'd tho, I'd tho, I'd tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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'm not gonna lie. I wish I had known all of this before I hired you. Oh no, that's not gonna happen unless you fire me. And since you're not gonna do that, there's nothing to worry about. Is there? No, no, of course not. Let's move on.
Starting point is 00:12:17 So, uh, if I hear you're right, what you're saying is the White House officials should make a scene whenever they get fired to make Trump think twice before firing anyone. Yeah, you're already being escorted out by the Secret Service. You might as well earn it, okay? Tear down the curtains, carve a dick in the Trump's desk. Don't just make the news make history. Go say Sloan, everybody. 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.
Starting point is 00:12:56 So exciting. You'll be saying to you about the new podcast. The weekly show is going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting you'll be saying to yourself, TGID. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches and I know that I listed that fourth but in importance it's probably
Starting point is 00:13:33 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 data show. So this is a fun story I wanted to share with you guys. Yesterday at a courthouse in Brooklyn, a jury was selected in the trial of El Chappo Guzman, the notorious drug lord and Mexican Shrek. Now I realize I shouldn't have made that joke because now he's going to come off to me.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Not Alchapo, Shrek. That's who I'm worried about. Yo, Shrek is no joke. People forget what he was like before he met Fiona man. He's got some bodies on him, is all I'm saying. But El Chcapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapu. the the the th. th. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. tho is a the the the tho is a tho, tho, 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 th. th. th. th. tho. tho. tho. the. theooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. the. the. the some bodies on him, is all I'm saying. But El Chappo's a pretty dangerous guy, too, which is why nobody wants to be part of sending him to jail. Jury selection for the high-profile trial of a Mexican drug lord is now complete. But this morning, his reputation is sparking fear for the juror's safety. On Monday, a potential juror was dismissed after she told the judge what
Starting point is 00:14:45 scares me is that Guzman's family will come after jurors and their family. One prospective juror was dismissed after asking for the drug lord's autograph. Someone else was dismissed for liking a sandwich named El Chappo at his local deli. A woman who watched Narcos was dismissed. This is the most gangster thing ever. Like I've heard of Americans trying the most gangster thing ever. Like, I've heard of Americans trying to get out of jury duty, but that one person was just like,
Starting point is 00:15:08 ah, can I have your autographs? And they're like, get out of here. Like, yeah. That is genius. Like, all of these things are so genius. But the one that got me is when they said a woman got off jury duty because she watched narcos? I'm sorry, by that logic, no one should be on jury duty. Because there's like 6,000 shows on Netflix. There's a show about every crime.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Right, you're going to be like, sir, are you prepared to judge this hit and run case? Oh, sorry, I just watched comedians in cars. Yeah, I can't. But here's my favorite thing that got someone off the the o jury. Finally, prosecutors dismissed a potential juror who works as a Michael Jackson impersonator because they felt that it would be too hard to keep that person's identity a secret. Yo, that is such an unnecessary slam on the Michael Jackson impersonator. Because his job is to literally pretend to be somebody else. And the prosecutors are like, no, we can tell it's you, Larry.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Everybody will know it's you, Larry. And you know he's upset about getting bumped, because this was going to be his big break, he's big break, right? He's going to be on that jury, like, they'll be like, your honor, how do you, how do you flee the defendant, he'd be like, he's bad, he's bad, he's bad, he's better, he's better, tell me, ah, this is like the craziest group of people. I feel bad for all of these people who are being selected because it's supposed to be a jury of your peers, and let's be honest, none of us normal people are El Chappo's peers,
Starting point is 00:16:39 right? The only people who should be on this jury, or Walter White, scoffface, and Jabber the Hut. Like, what kind of maniac would actually want to be on this jury? It's weird to me to think there's just like one person out there who's like, I mean, on the one hand, being my whole family might be killed by the Cinelloa drug cartel, but on the other hand, $40 a day! I guess I'm in. We'll be th. We'll th. I'm in. We'll th. I'm in. We'll th. We'll th. I'm in. We'll th. We'll th. I'm in. We'll th. We'll th. I'm in. I'm in. We'll th. th. I'm in. I'm th. I'm th.

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Starting point is 00:17:28 My guest tonight is a Grammy Award-winning iconic producer, rapper, DJ, and entrepreneur whose new album Poison features the track, Swi's Montana. Please welcome, Swiss Beats! Welcome to the show. Thank you, thank you for having. I have been such a huge fan of yours for such a long time and I'm not the only one. There's so many rappers who have unanimously said that you are easily one of the greatest rap producers of all time. Wow. But Swiss beats was someone who we knew in music and I'm not the only one. There's so many rappers who have unanimously said that you are easily one of the greatest rap producers of all time. Wow. Wow. But Swiss beats was. the 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. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. the the the the th. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. of all time. Wow. But Swiss Beats was someone who we knew in music, and then all of a sudden I remember, it seemed like you disappeared. And the next thing I heard, you were at Harvard Business School. Yes. How?
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yes. Yes. Yes. For people who lost you at that change? Well, I started in the music at 17, and I felt like I reached every level where I needed to be. And then I started hitting the ceiling, and then I wanted to diversify my portfolio and just do different things out of music. And I understood that the education is very important.
Starting point is 00:18:37 So I had to go back and take the three years and forward so I can invest in another 20 years. From the Bronx I need all the education I can get. It's a powerful, it's a really powerful position to take because, you know, for a long time, like I remember when I was in the hood, like a lot of guys would laugh. We would laugh at each other, be like, oh, you're going to school, you're trying to do this, but it really was a different a different a different a different a different a different to take and it wasn't just the education that you got, it was what it helped you do.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Because when you came back into music, it's changed how you see the game, right? Absolutely, absolutely. I mean, you know, when you think of artists, the music business, the fashion business, to art business, but a lot of creative ignored a business part. A lot of the creatives ignored a business part, and then they won that at the end end. the end. the end. the end. the end. I. I. I.ed.ed.ed.ed.ed.ed.ed.ed.ed.ed.ed. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. the. the. their, their, their, their, their, a, a, a, a, absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. their. I. I. I. I. the, absolutely. Absolutely. I. I. I. I. the, absolutely. Absolutely. the, absolutely. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. the the the the the the the the. because they didn't understand the business that they was actually in. So I wanted to go back and make sure that I understood the business that I was in and encourage other creatives to start to learn the business that you in.
Starting point is 00:19:32 So you can end the game on a positive note instead of talking about you got, took an advantage of when you. You came back and you now own what you create. Why is that so important? I think a lot of artists don't understand it. A lot of the time we see people and they're like, they were broke when they retired, and you're like, but they were so rich, they were so famous, but yeah. But that was really important to you,
Starting point is 00:19:52 owning what you create, you have to the toon't too, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, to, and, the, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, and, the, and, 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, not borrowed money, but real money, and you have to keep the legacy going for your kids as well, right? And if you don't have ownership, you can never be the billionaire that you want to dream of. Because all the billionaires I know they own everything. Right. If you are somebody who's aspiring, to follow engaged in not just music artists, but also art artists. I mean, you literally walking around with a piece of art right now.
Starting point is 00:20:30 You're a big art collector. A lot of people don't know this about you, but you're really big into art. And what I enjoyed is that you started changing how you create and curates. What you did was you said, I'm going to move from collecting to impress people and I'm going to collect art that means something to me. What did that mean and why? When I started collecting art, I was collecting to impress my friends and executives that would come to my home to separate myself from my peers. But then I realized that that wasn't the right reason to collect.
Starting point is 00:20:57 The right reason to collect art is because you felt something from your heart with that artist and I'm an artist myself and I wouldn't want somebody to just collect my work just because it impresses their friends that come to the home but actually because you felt something when you see my artwork which led to me creating no commissioning given the artist a hundred percent of their sales and even fighting for artist rights and them having royalties on the resales of their work.

Cole and you have everybody from Kendrick Lamar on this thing collaborating. People are, you know what I mean? It's a powerful album. We saw French Montana in the clip that we played. What is Poison about and why is it so specific in the tracks and the names? What are you trying to do? So, I wanted to come back into the music scene with a body of work that actually wasn't compromising, thapape comp comp came and went straight to the penthouse with a big crossover song. I wanted to start back to my origins of where people know me and that's authentic hip-hop. I didn't want to put no big record that might be top 40 on the record on this particular album.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I wanted to give people something that was quality and that the artist delivered at their maximum capacity. And the name poison comes because in life we have to face our poisons in order to poison. Right? So that's cheap. Yeah, that's the... Yeah, that's the... That's real thing. Well, I'm loving it.
