Starting point is 00:01:36 From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition. Welcome to the Daily Show. Welcome to the Daily Show, everybody. I'm Trevor Noah, thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you all for coming out. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's make a show. Our guest tonight is an amazing actor. You probably know him from Narcoz or Broad City,
Starting point is 00:02:13 and now he's here with a brand new sketch show, Altarino, Arturo Castro is joining us, everybody. Also on tonight's show's show's dollars worth of cocaine, we celebrate Juneteenth and America prepares for another war in the Middle East. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's begin with an update from Hong Kong, where millions of protesters have been marching in the streets, fighting against the proposed law that would allow China to extradite people from Hong Kong. And now, after weeks of tear gas, riot police and violence, it looks like the protests have paid off. After mass protests this past weekend, Hong Kong, a major reversal today.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Hong Kong's leader said she is suspending a bill that would have allowed the extradition of criminal suspects to mainland China. She said the decision was aimed at restoring calm after demonstrations and violence. People power has won for the time being in this remarkable test of wills between protesters on the streets here in Hong Kong and the Chinese government. Wow, congratulations to the people of Hong Kong. Well done, everybody. It's so exciting to see because it feels like this hardly happens. You never see a protest get immediate results like this.
Starting point is 00:03:32 It's like seeing a kid at an arcade actually win a toy from that claw machine. I've never seen it. And I feel bad for those kids, because they never get the toy. And then when they do, I they do they do I they do I just they do I just they do I just they do I just they do I just they do I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just come I just come I just come I just come I just come I just come I just I just come I just come I just I just come I just come I just come I just come I just their I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I I just I just I just I I I I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just I just come I just come I just come I just come come come I just come come come and I just come and to come and to come and to come and to come come and to come and to come and to to to to to the to the the the the the the the I just come and steal it from them. Now, here's what made this protest so effective. Up to one-third of Hong Kong's population came out to make their voices heard. Yeah. And listen to this, one of the ways they encourage people to take to the streets, and this is completely real, was by shutting down all of the porn sites in Hong Kong. Which is genius. Because I don't care how dedicated you are to a course. Porn can always distract you. Yeah, even the most massive protest is one browser
Starting point is 00:04:15 tab away from total failure. Someone would be like, I was excited to fight for equality, but then I opened up that tab and suddenly I was tired afterwards. Moving on to some domestic news, if you've been wondering why your cocaine dealer hasn't shown up yet, this might explain it. The billion dollar bust in Philadelphia, federal agents making one of the biggest cocaine seizures in American history, an alarming sign of the drugs resurgence. Hidden on this ship, docked tonight in Philadelphia, federal agents say it was a huge stash of cocaine in seven shipping containers.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Just over 17 tons of it, with a street value U.S. officials say of over $1 billion. Court documents say crew members have told investigators that the drugs were loaded onto the ship from boats while it was underway, then stuffed into containers. That's right, they seized a billion dollars worth of cocaine in Philadelphia. And I'm really happy for Philly, but I'm especially happy for Gritty, who thanks to this bust has finally gotten clean. Well done. Yeah. There he is.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Please call me by my real name, it's Gritchard. And can you imagine, just for a second, can you imagine being the drug dealer who has to tell his boss that he lost a billion dollars of products, just coming in like, hey, patron, you ever had one of those days where you thought you had something in your pockets but you check and then it's missing? We're like, of course, that's the worst. Be like, I know, well, I bring it up because that happened with a billion dollars. cocaine. Someday we're going to laugh about this, right Patron? Yeah? We're going to laugh, right? Where are you going? Patron? Are you going to go? Are you going somewhere to laugh, Patron? Also, I don't know about you, but what
Starting point is 00:05:49 disturbed me even more than the cocaine itself was that it all came in by boat, which means America's going to need another wall in the sea. Yeah. Because that's the only way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to stop to to to stop to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to their to to to both the drugs and the illegal mermaid immigration. Those mermaids are so greedy folks, they want our gadgets and gizmos, even though they've got the whosits and what's its galore, they say it's better down where it's wetter, but then why do they all come here? And speaking of Trump, oh, speaking of Trump, last night, Melania's husband held a rally in Florida to officially kick off his 2020 campaign and usually a re-election campaign offers new ideas, new policies to move the country forward but last night
Starting point is 00:06:34 speech felt like an exact replica of him running in 2016 and when I say exact replica I mean exact right in fact when we put his speeches from 2016 with the ones from last night, well, you tell me if you can spot anything new. Make America great again. Make America great again. The greatest theme in the history of politics. Maybe the greatest theme of all time.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Brain to swap. And Hillary Clinton, drook the Hillary. Deleted an acid wash. 33,000 emails deleted, bleached, acid wash. People are pouring in open borders. Destroy our country, deplorables. Win, win, win, win. I will never, ever let you down.
Starting point is 00:07:19 From 2020, now in stereo. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our main story. America and Iran. The two countries are like frenemies just without the friend. I wish there was a word for that. And now, it looks like the tensions are coming to a head. Breaking news tonight, collision course with Iran.
Starting point is 00:07:50 The US now blaming Iran after two ships come under attack, set on fire, growing fears of a major confrontation in the region. Secretary of State Pompeo blaming Iran for what he called unprovoked attacks. It is the assessment of the United States government that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the Gulf of Amman today. The US will send another 1,000 troops to the Middle East, citing hostile behavior by Iran.
Starting point is 00:08:18 That's on top of an extra 1,500 announced just weeks ago. The Pentagon says they will be used for surveillance and intelligence gathering and to protect US troops. Okay, I'm a little confused. Did they say America is sending troops to the Middle East to protect the troops in the Middle East? Who's going to protect the new troops? Are you going to need more troops to protect the troops or protecting the troops? Because I mean, this just doesn't seem like a good good the the to the to to to the to to to to to protect the good the good to to to to to to to to to the good to to the to protect to protect to protect the to protect to protect to protect to protect to protect the to protect to protecteoome? the to protecteuseuseusus, truoos, truoos, truo-s.s.s.s.s. tru-s. truek. to protecteusk. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect. to protect to protect to p ia to p ia their their their their theirea toea theops to protect the troops who are protecting the troops? I mean, this just doesn't seem like a good idea.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Like, remember that movie The Bodyguard? This would be like if they made a sequel called The Bodyguard's Bodyguard. And I will also always love you and you. But that's right, America is sending thousands of troops back to the Middle East, which is a big deal. And not just because you have to pay that easy pass again, no. It's also because this could lead to war. So when America says Iran is responsible, they better have some solid proof. The U.S. military released this surveillance footage, which American officials tell NBC News, removing an unexploded mine from the side of one of the tankers
Starting point is 00:09:26 after it was attacked. Fragments of mines and the magnets used to attach them. Made by Iran, says the US, to attack oil tankers last week. More proof, say US officials of Iranian guilt. Iranian fingerprints apparently all over an attack that Iran denies carrying out. Iranian fingerprints? Honestly, I don't really know what that last part means. How can you tell that fingerprints are Iranian? Was the detective like,
Starting point is 00:10:02 I knew it. Hummus. Wait, wait, hummus isn't Iranian. I know, but if I said subsie, you wouldn't have gotten the joke. So the US claims that they have enough evidence to prove this attack was carried out by Iran, right? But because America has a history of crying wolf in the Middle East, some of the US's allies have said that they need a little bit more than hummer's fingers to be convinced. U.S. allies remain split about the allegations against Iran. Japan expressing skepticism while Germany's foreign minister stating the video
Starting point is 00:10:35 provided by the US is not sufficient proof. That's right. Japan, whose ship was attacked by the way isn't sure that it was Iran. And Germany doesn't want to rush into any decisions. And to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the the their their their their their their their. the way, isn't sure that it was Iran. And Germany doesn't want to rush into any decisions. And I get it. Both of those countries have a bad history with war, especially Germany. Yeah, they know how they get when there's a war. The Germans are like, I think we should all proceed carefully and think about, no, Germany, you need to get angry.
Starting point is 00:11:00 No, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. Last Last th th th thi. Last last, last, last, last, last, last, last, last, thi. Last last, thi. Last, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. No. No. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. No, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No, th. No, th. No, th. No, th. No, you th. No, you thi, you thi, you thi. No, you thi. No. No. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I'm angry. Last time this happened, I woke up in Argentina with a Spanish wife. Now after some convincing, Germany eventually accepted America's conclusion, blaming Iran. And because of the whole weapons of mass destruction thing, you can't blame America's allies for being a little cautious when taking America's word for it. Because America's done this before. Imagine if your friend told you, oh my God, you can't blame America's allies for being a little cautious when taking America's word for it, right? Because America's done this before. Imagine if your friend told you, oh my god, you gotta get down to this party, Rianna's here, but then when you got to the party, instead of Rian, you just found some middle-aged guy named Ryan.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Yeah. He'd be like, that happened to you, you wouldn't trust your celebrity citing friends ever again. And there is a growing agreement. There is a growing agreement that this looks like it was an attack conducted by Iran. But people are also preaching caution, because maybe it was Iran's government,
Starting point is 00:11:55 or maybe it was a rogue element the thinne, Iran like a jealous ex. Who knows? So despite Mike Pompeo's hawkishness and John Bolton's walrishness, most foreign governments aren't in a hurry to go to war. But there's another person who also doesn't like the idea of war and you'll never guess who it is. President Trump is not playing down the attacks, telling Time Magazine, so far it's been very minor. We'll see what happens. They are a much different country today than they were two and a half years ago when I came into office. When President Obama signed that horrible deal, they were
Starting point is 00:12:35 screaming death to America. I haven't been hearing that lately. President Trump has said he doesn't want to go to war. President, are we going to war with Iran? I hope not. I love how the press is just like waiting outside of his house as well. Hey, you want to fight with Iran? I hope not. But yes, it turns out, President Trump is not keen on a war with Iran, which I am all for.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I mean, maybe he thinks that this is a bad idea, or maybe he's just worried that the military might try and draft him again, you know? It's like, Mr. President, we recommend a war against Iran. Oh, my bonespers are back. They're back. They come back every 50 years. So the good news is, despite his Twitter fingers, Trump is not a fan of trigger fingers. But don't get too comfortable yet, because unfortunately, there are lots of people around him trying to change his mind. The hawks continue to circle this president, urging him toward action.
Starting point is 00:13:35 They're in his ear making the case for possible intervention. We have Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, National Security Advisor John Bolton, who are a lot more hawkish who want to be more aggressive in their stance toward the Iranians. Last week, Pompeo went to Congress and delivered a presentation arguing that this administration could use the same authorization of force the Bush White House used in the fight against al-Qaeda after 9-11. Wow. Did you pick up what they just said there? 18 years later, Mike Pompeo and his friends are trying to use 9-11 as an excuse
Starting point is 00:14:09 to go to war with another country that had nothing to do with 9-11. That's what they want. Yeah. And I mean, haven't the troops spent enough time in the Middle East? Just bring them home? Just bring them home. They deserve to come home. And we deserve to see more of those adorable dog reunion videos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Which by the way, like, you know there's got to be one dog who just doesn't give a shit, right? There's probably one dog where the guy's like, I'm home and he's like, hey, Larry, right? Oh yeah, I guess you used to live here. All right, well, I'm going to go look at a bird, but thank you for your service, I guess. Look, man, here's the thing. I'm not saying America should never fight wars. That's who you are. I get it. But do you really think now is the time to start another war?
Starting point is 00:15:05 Because it almost feels like America does war the same way people do Netflix. Yeah, we start a bunch of things, but we never really commit. You know, people just hang out. Oh my God, you know what I heard? It could be great? This new war, Iran. People are like, oh, but wait, we still need to finish that. Oh, and aren't we still in the middle of Syria? Whatever happened there?
Starting point is 00:15:27 Yeah, I couldn't follow the plot. There were so many bad guys. By the way, who started Niger? Is someone using our account? What is that? Oh my God, I just realized we never even finished Afghanistan. wea thiii. that that that that that that that that's that's that's tha tha than, thu, thu, I than, I than, I than, I thi, I thi, I tho, I tho, I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I tho-I 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, I tho, I thoo. thooooooooooooan, I thoan, I'm tired. Let's just go to band. All I'm saying is this, all I'm saying is this. I'm saying I understand America can't not fight a war,
Starting point is 00:15:50 but instead of going with a streaming model, maybe America should switch back to the old school DVD plan. All right?

Starting point is 00:17:09 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. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Today is a really special day in African-American history. And to learn more about it, we turn to Roywood Jr. in another episode of CP Time. The only show that's for the culture. The month of June is a special
Starting point is 00:18:08 time in America. It's the start of summer. It's the time allergies wreak havoc on our sinuses. And it's the month my hyperactive child is out of school and back in the house all day. The whole point of having kids is for them to be somewhere else. If I knew my son was going to be around as much I wouldn't have for them to be somewhere else. If I knew my son was going to be around as much, I wouldn't have had them. June is also a special month for black people, because it marks the holiday, Juneteenth, celebrating when slavery ended on June 19, 1865. Now many people think slavery was ended in 1863 by everyone's favorite exhausted magician Abraham Lincoln. But many slaves weren't actually freed until two and a half years later, proving that
Starting point is 00:18:52 even black people's freedom runs on CP time. So in celebration of Juneteenth, I'd like to talk about some of the slaves who celebrated their freedom early by escaping from slavery on their own. Slaves like Henry Box Brown, a Virginia slave who snuck inside of a wooden crate and shipped himself to Philadelphia where he could live as a free man. The trip took 27 grueling hours. It could have been same day, but Box Brown couldn't afford Amazon Prime. Luckily, Henry Brown arrived safely in Philadelphia and turned his story into a stage act.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Every night, Henry would climb into that same wooden crate to reenact the arduous journey that carried him to freedom, which was brave of him. I don't know if I could relive a traumatic experience like that over and over again and I've had bad experiences with packages. Back in the day I used to work for a moving company. One time I moved all of a customer's possessions to the wrong apartment. My customer thought I was a thief and the people in the apartment thought I was a reverse burglar. Everyone was e'-one. A slave who took his freedom into his own hands was Louis Williams. He actually escaped slavery not once, but twice. After his first escape, he was caught and brought to trial.
Starting point is 00:20:14 But he got a look-alike to switch places with him in the courtroom. And by the time the courts realized what had happened, Lewis had escaped again. Although that lookalight was probably just a random black guy for being real about it, because Lewis knew that those white folks couldn't tell black people apart. Just the other day I was mistaken for Forrest Whitaker, which would normally be flattering. But unfortunately, Mr. Whitaker owed this gentleman a substantial amount of money. He won my ass, Forr us. You owe me. But maybe the most heartwarming escape is that of William and Ellen Craft, two slaves who
Starting point is 00:20:53 got married and decided to run away. Because Ellen had light skin, they hatched a plan where she dressed in men's clothing, wrapped her head in bandages and posed as an injured white man. William then posed as her servant and the two bordered a train north. Now being on a train full of white men must have been scary, but I can only assume that Ellen practiced her white man small talk. Well, yes fellow white person, I too am afraid of the sun. There's some block, some block, some block. Yes, we else. UV. Some block, some b-so b, so black, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, th. Well. Well.

Starting point is 00:21:29 So the next time June 19th comes, remember these stories of heroic slaves. What would you ever want? We'll be right back. Welcome back to the Daily Show.

Is that broad city? Yeah. Is that you actually a version of broad city? And then I was just like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, confusing to me, but like, but you, you completely flip as a character. You actually had people who had a conspiracy theory that it was the same character. Yeah, that he went into a witness protection program after narco and just decided to become
