Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. Coming to you from New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Show. Tonight, Florida goes troller. The internet hates another thing. And George Stephanopoulos. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. What's going on everybody? Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Chevanoa. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out in Crescent. Thank you for being here. Thank you
Starting point is 00:00:54 so much for being here. We have got a jam-pets show for you tonight. Take a seat. Let's get into it. Mother Earth just became a billionaire. The game of chess is getting dirty. And there's been a massive outbreak of racism under the sea. So let's do this, people. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. All right. I'm gonna be honest. I'm gonna be honest.
Starting point is 00:01:14 All right. I'm gonna be honest. With all the news that happened today, I don't think we have enough space in today's show. Yeah, I'm sorry, I tried everything. I even went to a junkyard and asked them to use that machine that crushes the cars, and now I need a new car, but there's still too much news and not enough time. Fortunately, not enough time is just enough time for a segment we call, Ain't Nobody Got Time for that. All right, let's kick things off with one of the most amazing and positive stories involving
Starting point is 00:01:53 a billionaire. You know how most billionaires only seem to want to get more and more and more billions so that I guess they can afford the new iPhone? Well, it turns out, not every super-rich rich person thinks like that. An extraordinary act of charity, the founder of the outdoor gear and clothing brand Patagonia has given away his $3 billion company. Ownership has now been transferred to especially created trust that is going to use any profits not reinvested in the business to fight climate change.
Starting point is 00:02:24 That's expected to be roughly $100 million a year. 83-year-old Yvonne Shannard, who started Patagonia roughly a half century ago, said, quote, we are making Earth our only shareholder. Wow! The founder of Patagonia decided, being a billionaire was too much bowling for any one person, and so he's decided to give all the money away. Which, when you think about it is actually the most baller move of all time, huh? Yeah because who's more of a baller? The person who has a billion dollars or the person who literally uses their billion dollars to make it rain.
Starting point is 00:03:03 That's what he's doing because the Earth is going through a drought. He saw what happened in California, he's like, I'm gonna make it rain. And who would have thought that a billionaire could give away his money to help the planet instead of trying to escape it in a penis rocket. I didn't even know that was possible. I didn't know but the earth. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. This is. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. to. th. tho. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the th. And th. And th.

Are you even a planet anymore? Bam, bitch! I will say it's going to be a little bit awkward for Yvanchinad's kids when they try to explain why they didn't inherit their dad's billions?
Starting point is 00:03:35 You know, it's like, so did your father give you the money? It's like, no, he gave it's a a a a a a 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, to, to, to, to, to, to, to be. to to. too, too, too, too, too, 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 the the the too. t t t too. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. to. time, we could talk about how the founder of Patagonia is showing us that you can still be super rich and not be a billionaire. And he's showing that hypercapitalism isn't the only way a business can run. And it can still be successful, and it can still make money, and it can contribute as much as it gets. But we don't have the time agonia is trying to be the earth's biggest advocate, Florida governor, Rhonda Sanchez, is trying to be the earth's biggest dick. Now to that dramatic and controversial twist in the battle over immigration overnight, the governor of Florida, taking credit for sending at least two planes filled with migrants to the wealthy Massachusetts island of Martha's vineyard.
Starting point is 00:04:19 The plains carried 50 migrants from Venezuela, and the island community was given no heads up about it. All they did was see some planes and a bunch of people come off. The group arrived with children and some elderly family members, all of whom could not speak English. The community, though, band it together. They helped them, they set them up in a nearby church over night. Now, what's truly bizarre about the situation is all of these immigrants came from Texas and it appears only the planes were provided by Florida specifically to bring them here. You know, there's assholes and then there's this guy. No because you know sometimes, you know someone is so terrible the word asshole doesn't
Starting point is 00:04:57 quite capture their essence enough, you know? Yeah because everyone is an asshole, like my neighbor's an asshole, you know, drivers and traffic are assholes. Hell, I'm an asshole. But Ron DeSanx, he's like, he's like the little edges, the little ridges around the asshole that really catch all the shit. And because I can't show you that on TV, here's a picture of a Stano's Mole so you know exactly what I'm trying to say. It's those little... Because here's the thing, remember, Ron DeSanctes is the governor of Florida. So why is he grabbing refugees in Texas and shipping them to Massachusetts?
Starting point is 00:05:31 Why? So he can prove that America's immigration system is broken? Yeah, everyone knows that. But instead of pushing lawmakers to actually reform the system, he's using taxpayer money to what, go viral? Because he's what he wants to do, right? And this is what gets to me. If you told DeSanctis to spend the same amounts of money helping these asylum seekers, he'd be like, oh, we don't have the funding for that, but to troll the Democrats, suddenly he's like, put it on my card, yeah. And by the way, America actually has athe pages in his history books were torn out in
Starting point is 00:06:07 any state, so I get it. Now if we had more time we could delve into a long history of how American lawmakers are all too happy to pour tons of resources into destabilizing central and South American countries but when the effects of that destabilization of felt in the the the thetheir actions, but we don't have the time to get into that. Because while American lawmakers are arguing about what's happening at land borders, Americans on the internet are at war about what's happening under the sea. The new trailer for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid already has more than a hundred million views. While it's got a lot of fans, it is also being attacked by some internet trolls. The actress Halli-B as Ariel in Disney's new live-action film and she looks
Starting point is 00:06:46 nothing like the animated Little Mermaid with red hair from the original 1989 classic. The trailer has received more than 1.5 million dislikes on YouTube. Then there are the ugly racist tweets. The Little Mermaid is white, not black. Really, people, we're doing this again? She looks nothing like they're written. They both have the tail, huh? They both have the red. She looks nothing like her.
Starting point is 00:07:11 How do I even know that she's a mermaid? Once again, a bunch of internet racists are upset that a fictional character is being played by a black person. And honestly, I don't know what the big deal is. You guys realize that Nemo was black too, right? Yeah, that whole movie was about a fish who can't find his dad. Yeah. Calm down, calm down. I can say that because my dad left and he's white, so who's racist now? This is so ridiculous. First of all, of course the Little Mermaid is black, everyone whose name starts with
Starting point is 00:07:48 Lil'Is Black. Lil Wayne, Lil Nazex, Lil'Kim. Honestly, if you heard that there was a woman named Little Mermaid, you just assume that she's on a track with Cardi B, you know? With my wet ass flippers. So look, stop being ridiculous. It's imaginary. I hope the scandal doesn't over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over over this scandal doesn't overshadow the rest of the movie. The little mermaid is a beautiful story about a young woman changing her core identity to please
Starting point is 00:08:13 a man. Let's not forget about that people. Well, look, if we had more time, we could talk about how Disney already created a black mermaid 30 years ago and nobody cared, or how there's still plenty of white princesses for little girls whose dream it is to be in a monarchy. And let's not forget, you can still watch the original Little Mermaid. It's not like if you try to turn it on, Mickey's gonna jump out of the screen and
Starting point is 00:08:33 the racist, ha ha! But we don't have Sarver for a year. They have fined him $10 million after a nearly year-long investigation that detailed inappropriate behavior during his 18 years with the team. The league says Sarver, whose teams are mostly black, repeated the N-word five times, bullied employees and sent pornographic material, including a video, to staffers. Sarver also allegedly made jokes frequently to employees in large and small settings about sex and sex-related anatomy.
Starting point is 00:09:13 They say this guy was using the n-word, he was bullying people and there was sexual harassment. That's a triple, double in HR violations. I mean, how do you justify sending porn to your employees? What you doing? What, what's the rationale? What's, what, the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also also, 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 th.. I. I th. I was. I was ti. I was ti. I'm ti.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s.s. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. double, and HR violations. I mean, how do you justify sending porn to your employees? What are you doing? What's the rationale? It's been like, do you see that gang-bang video that I emailed you? Well, that's the kind of teamwork I want to see in the court tonight, people? Come on, get out there! Now, to be fair, to be fair, to be fair, Sava wasn't calling black people the N-word, all right? He was just allegedly repeating black people's use of the N-word and then complaining
Starting point is 00:09:50 about why he couldn't say it but they could, but he was saying it. So he isn't necessarily racist, but he's definitely a moron. And here's what I don't get. If you're someone who wants to walk around saying the N-word, then pretty much the worst place in the world for you is the NBA. It's like, I love saying the N-word and I hate the sound of squeaky shoes. Well, my man, you chose the wrong field. Now, if we had more time, we could that you shouldn't be saying the N-word,
Starting point is 00:10:25 and I'm not sure that the year is gonna help, but we don't have the time for that. Because while the NBA is dealing with one bad owner, there's a scandal in the chess world right now that is shaking the entire sport. A cheating scandal is a cr-aughinge. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. thea. thea. thea. thea. tm. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. t. t t t t t t t t tttttttttttttttttttttttttte. te. te. te. te. tecomer Hans Neiman, Kelsen abruptly quit the tournament and then posted a cryptic tweet that many interpreted as an accusation that Neiman had cheated. Since then, speculation has run wild about how Neiman could have cheated with some people suggesting that some kind of wearable, vibrating device could have been feeding him moves.
Starting point is 00:10:59 A world champion has never withdrawn from a chess tournament before this in the history of the game of chess. So it's really unprecedented. Yeah, you damn right, this is unprecedented. A chess grandmaster might have been cheating. That is disgusting! The game of chess is sacred. It's an ancient game of skill and strategy with the little horses that you play with. Wee! Elshape! Now, even though lots of people are accusing Neiman of cheating, nobody can say exactly
Starting point is 00:11:27 how he did it. Although, you may have heard them say vibrating? Yeah. The one theory, which the internet is running wild with, is that he used vibrating anal beads to tell him what moves to make. Which I know sounds nuts, but I get why someone would use vibrating anal beads to cheat, you know, because even if you lose, you still kind of win, you know? And let's be clear. Let us be clear, there is absolutely no place for sex toys in the game of chess. Except for the pawns. And for the pawns and the bishop if you nasty.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Now, if only we had more time, we could have so much fun joking about which vibrations equal, which moves, or we could even talk about the real scandal in chess, which is, how are all the pieces the same size? So is the giant horse the size of a castle, or is it a tiny castle the size of a horse? Either way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way, thoic thoom. Wea thi. We're thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. thoom. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. t toy. toy. t toy. t tttttttttttttttttttttttoyee. toe. toe. ttttttttttoye. toye. toye. t toye. t giant horse the size of a castle or is it a tiny castle the size of a horse? Either way, protecting your king is the least of your problems. But we just don't have the time for that because I'm being told through my vibrating beads that we need to go to a commercial break. So, don't go away, because when we come back, we're going to find out what you know about the day's show. You know, here at the show we pay a lot of attention to what's going on in the news.
Starting point is 00:13:01 But how much are the people outside our studio following along? Well, we sent Michael Costa to find out for another edition of Fill Me In. Welcome to... Welcome to... Answer the question? Answer the question? With Michael. Fill me in.

George Stepanopolis, welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:17:27 It is great to be here. Thank you. This is so amazing having you here because I mean like I feel like this is your world. You know, you're one of the most familiar faces, you're one of the names that is most synonymous with all things and news. And now you're taking us behind the scenes, and now you're taken their thaking thaking thaking behind their thaking behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind behind their, their, their, their, their, their, their, 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to be embedding journalists. Seven young journalists, they're in their 20s, they're all ambitious, passionate, smart kids. They don't have a lot of experience,
Starting point is 00:17:51 but they're going to go out on the campaign trail, basically his own defense covering the country and cover all these campaigns. We're doing it for the first time for these midterm elections. I said it in that clip. I think think think think think think thia thia thia th. I th. I th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

We've never seen anything like it before. We want to make sure we get it in as real a way as we can. It feels like these midterms are going to be different. And you know, and people often say that.
Starting point is 00:18:13 I've seen, you know, American news try and drum up interest, but it feels like these ones are going in a midterm election. We saw a little bit of in 2020, a lot of it in 2020, where the very way we debate and decide elections is under assault. I mean, you've got 40% of the country who still doesn't believe the last election is over. 40% of the country who is determined who doesn't accept facts in a debate. And, you know, our whole system is premised on the ideas. Both sides can argue out based on a common set of facts. Whoever wins wins and you go on to fight another day. This is different because that has not been settled after the last election. Let me ask you this, as somebody who's been covering,
Starting point is 00:18:55 as somebody who's been involved in campaigns, you've seen the tide's shift, you've seen the attitude change. Did you see this coming this coming coming coming coming coming coming coming coming coming coming coming coming coming coming coming this coming coming Is it new? And if you did see it coming, what was the moment? There's got to be one moment where you noticed that something had shifted. I can't say I ever saw this coming to this degree. I never believed. I mean, I still well up when I think of the capital under assault on January 6 after an election. Our whole system is premised on the idea of a peaceful transfer of power. But the change that started started th, I th, I th, I th, I the the the the the the the the the the the, I thi thi thi thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thioled thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, their, the the their, their, their, thuioled, thioled, thioled, th. th. th. th. thi, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thiiiiiii. their thi. th of power. But the change that started to happen, I'm, you make it sound like I'm very old, I guess I am, but when I first worked in campaigns, I just didn't have been doing it for a long
Starting point is 00:19:32 time. Yeah, you could be a news child star. I didn't say all in George. When I first worked in campaigns, we used to footnote our commercials because we were so concerned about being called out for not telling the truth. Interesting. But what has changed over time is that as each side basically just tries to get out their own voters rather than trying to persuade others, they care less about whether they're called out by the media on telling the truth or not. It's interesting you say that because I've noticed on the news, to, thapapapapapapape, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. What, th. What, th. What, th. What, th. What, th. What, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. What, thi. We's, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. And, thau. What's, thau. What's, thi. What's, that because I've noticed on the news shows, you'll be talking to politicians.
Starting point is 00:20:06 And back in the day, it felt like a politician was so afraid to contradict themselves, to be a hypocrite, to have any moment where there was a discrepancy. And now it feels like just having the'll have someone come on and you can show and it can be footnoted, you can go to the dictionary, you can go to 8,000 reference books and say you're just not telling the truth and they say, well you're lying. And they don't care because to the group of voters they're trying to appeal to, calling us out whether we're right or wrong works for them. So do you ever get to a point where as a news organization you say we caught have certain people?
Starting point is 00:20:48 Right now I mean I will not put anybody on my show who will not accept the results of the last election. Just they don't come on. Wow. Wow. You have new issues coming up all the time. I had an interview with a senator a few weeks back which I still can't believe. And remember th. And remember th. And remember how th. And remember how th. And remember how th. th. the the the the the they. they. they. their their their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to th. to th. And I, to th. th. And, 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 to to to to to to to to to th. And, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. And, I, I'm the th. And, I'm they. And, I'm th. And, I'm th. And, I'm th. And, I'm th. And, I'm th. And, I'm th. And, I'm th. And, I'm weeks back, which I still can't believe. And remember how when Hillary Clinton had her emails that were classified, how Trump said
Starting point is 00:21:10 lock her up, Republicans wanted investigation after investigation, this senator would not even say that Trump having all of those documents in his house was wrong. Four questions, four times, would not say it was wrong. So, you're in an interesting position. For a long time, America had an agreed idea of what was happening on the news, for the most parts. Both to, yeah. Right. Cable news came and then it became, you know, really partisan. You could have it this way and you could have it that way and your facts could almost be allocat, now. You still occupy a position where most people thiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. the. th. the. th. the. th. th. th. thar no. You still occupy a position, you know, yeah, but you still occupy this position where most people think of it as, okay, this is the middle, this is, but the
Starting point is 00:21:49 overton window of middle is shifting. How do you now respond? Do you try and do you have to cater to some of these politicians? Here's what you don't do. I mean, I think there is a risk a risk when you're talking to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain certain to certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to certain to willing to say what you're saying is not true. And sometimes you have to risk looking partisan by doing that but I think we can't bow to that threat. I mean as long as I'm confident when I am that we're arguing about facts, undisputable facts, I have no problem saying you're not telling the truth even if that's going to cause somebody to say, oh, you know, you're just being a political hack. You have to do that. That's what we have to stand up for as journalists,
Starting point is 00:22:30 right and wrong, fact, not fiction. You are now sending these journalists as embeds. You know, they're on the ground. They're getting information on the ground from these people. What we see even in that clip, and I think the docuse is really really gets into it, is people say, well, you're fake news. Do you think we are moving towards a world where the news is what you want to hear and then what you do essentially almost falls away?

I think there is no question about that. You see it right there. By definition, there is going to be certain people who, no matter what the facts are, if I'm saying it, you're a liar. It's fake news. If they're if they're Kennedy saying he's right, not wrong. And you're right. People just end up going to the places where they know the view that they already have is going to be reinforced, whether or not it's true. Have you found any way to break through on the ground, on your show in any of the journalism? We're going to try to do it with this new show. I think what we're going to try to do it, is show the process of these young reporters trying to get the truth. Show them doing it, we hope with integrity, showing the risks they take to do it.
