Starting point is 00:00:00 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. 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 second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?
Starting point is 00:00:50 I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. September 30th, 2015. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah, our guest tonight, New Jersey, and presidential candidate Chris Christie is here. And, uh, that's right, promoting his new album, I want to be president.
Starting point is 00:01:41 But here we are, night three people, and, you know what, since I've been in America, a lot of people have asked me if I'm having a hard time, adjusting to living in the country. And the truth is, yes, some things are harder to understand than others. For instance, why do you let the baby lion's f-shed in a sandbox in your bathrooms? thrown? And why did you let that giant mouse rule a magical kingdom within your borders? No, no, not that. I was talking about the other one. Yeah. Luckily, they are things that do remind me of home.
Starting point is 00:02:16 For instance, having a black president, and the difficulty of talking about race relations, especially when the police are involved. The only people in our society that don't believe all lives matter are generally liberals. We don't need to say all lives matter because white citizens aren't dying at the hands of police. Why has the black lives matter movement not been classified yet as a hate group? When people say all lives matter, it's actually a violent statement. I've seen far more racism against the cops. It's a divisive issue. It's almost as if there's no there's no there's no there's a there's a there's a the there's a the the the their, their, their, their, the, the, th, th, th, th, th. A, th. A, thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, thi, thi, 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, 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 a th. I th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, thi. I. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th a divisive issue. It's almost as if there's no common ground. It really does seem like there's no common ground.
Starting point is 00:02:47 It's almost as if this whole issue is just black and... Oh, I get it. It's a cookie. The problem is a cookie. The question is, how can we even attempt to solve this problem in this heated environment? to find out Jordan Kleppa and Roywood Jr. filed this report. Over the past year, cops have faced increasing scrutiny based on their actions against minorities. To get to the bottom of this, the Daily Show sent not one.
Starting point is 00:03:17 But two correspondents to go deep. Super deep. So we decided to sit down with some cops to see why they're racist. Under attack. Tonight on. There's going to be a graphic right here. No graphic. No graphic? No graphic? Oh, just go inside. After all the shootings of unarmed minorities throughout the country, the nation has now split into two camps. Either the cops are racist or they're not racist. But only one side can be right. So we sat down with former NYPD detective and Fox News contributor, Bo Dietel, to get the definitive answer.
Starting point is 00:03:50 There's a tough question to ask, Bo, but I gotta ask it. Go ahead. Are police racist? No. It's good enough for me. I'm satisfied. We're good here.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I'm a moth-billiev. Are you serious? You're not going to ask him any more questions? He said they're not racist. NYPD was whooping ass. Bo, look, I'm sorry, he knows about bias. Bo, he's new. All cops are not racist. Everyone's starting to believe like you are
Starting point is 00:04:18 that there is a overwhelming conspiracy with all the cops. You go, oh, let's th let's th let's th let's th th th th th th th th th th th tho, the tho, the the tho, tho, their their their tho, their their tho, tho, tho, tho, the cops and go, ooh, let's go get a black guy and beat him to debt. That's not what's going on there. Of course a cop's going to say police aren't racist, but what about an expert who runs a sinner which studies the police, Dr. Phil Goff. Okay, so let's start with the facts. All cops are awesome. No, all cops are not awesome. Is there a fucking nuance to this? There is nuance to this. Police, like everybody else, hold implicit biases.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Implicit bias is the shorthand that we take for the automatic association between people and stereotypes that we have about those people. And we've done that with black and crime, a whole heck of a lot. Almost all people hold implicit biases. I don't hold any biases. I don't hold any biases. I look at him, I see a cool ass white dude.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I look at a shirt tucked in, look like a weatherman. You're gonna trust this guy, right? He's got southern charm. Is a black dude without earrings? Yeah, I like that dude. If it's true that neither of you have biases, then you are very rare individuals. Well I think that's true. I'm amazing. Not surprisingly, there's a program that nerdy Shug Knight developed which trains police officers to delink bias from their decision-making. We've been very involved in training officers to limit the influence of their biases on their behaviors. So a police chief comes to you and says, Help, we just shot a black kid.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Please help us, so we quit doing that. Police chiefs usually don't call us and say help. But some police departments have sought out these techniques, like this deadly force simulator, which shows a series of reallife situations that test your ability to not act on assumptions of race. Hey, what are you doing? What? Bias training consists of three key components, scenario-based training, written testing, and talk and shit out. To see it in action, we headed to the Madison, Wisconsin Police Department, one of the few in the country that has an extensive anti-bias program.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And there's a compelling reason why. Tonight, there are protests over another deadly police shooting of an unarmed man after complaints of a confrontation, this one last night in Madison, Wisconsin. So we set down with the Madison chief of police, Mike Koval, to ask one little question. Are all police biased? Yes, the police have biases. Got them. Got them. Got him?
Starting point is 00:06:54 You said it. Who are you calling? Black people? You're calling black people? Let me get that number. Yeah, I'm in Wisconsin, white dude, just said it. Bias, all of them. Uh-huh. Tell black Twitter. Black Twitter? You don't know about black Twitter?
Starting point is 00:07:09 No. Yeah, black Twitter. Hello? Hello? You should get a black Twitter. It's hilarious. I don't know what they're talking about at the time, but it is funny. So he admitted they're biased. They seem like pretty nice guys. There you go. It's all right. I'm feeling it.
Starting point is 00:07:25 It's good, looking good. Yeah, this is nice. Yeah. Right, my man. All right, hands are funny. And then the scenario-based training began. Of course, a couple of unbiased reporters like us would ace this. All right, role players.
Starting point is 00:07:41 You want to get in position. All Jordan, you thjjjjjjjjjjj you can the, you want to get in position? All right, Jordan, you can go ahead and observe. We have the rap star over here who clearly hit this pregnant woman. I'd rush these two guys and get back to business. It's not a rap star. He doesn't have a gold chain. All right, roll players, can you share with them? What is it? Oh, God. Are you okay?
Starting point is 00:08:04 What's going on? CPR. C. C. C. the the 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. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. 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. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to tha. tha. tha. tha. to. Oh, God, are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay? What's going on? CPR, Cpia. You okay? Roll over. Why is the black guy trying to kill the lady who's having a heart attack? Okay, okay, let's try this one more time. This scenario is called the domestic disturbance.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You're going to observe the scene, you're going to maybe verbally control the people involved. This guy's getting too old for the shit. Like lethal weapon? Have you seen lethal weapon? Like bad boys? I don't know. I've seen bad boys. Yeah, I bet.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Let's do this. Puh. Your first Jordan? Action. Is everything okay in here? Excuse me, get away from the woman. Get away from the woman. Get down, get down on the ground!
Starting point is 00:08:49 Get down on the ground! Ma'am, it's gonna be alright. And seeing, that was fun. That was fun, huh? Yeah! You were great and scary. Try it, you don't love it. I'm sorry about him, Officer Prado. All right, action. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, this is never going to happen.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Stop crying. She needs help. Stop crying. What happened? What happened? Why you're crying? Don't you're crying. Don't you're getting too old for this. I'm getting too old for the shit.
Starting point is 00:09:23 I'm too old for this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 472, we're going to need a white female officer to come handle this. Knock, knock. Hello, officer, Wood. As a white female officer, I'll take care of this. Are you okay? Get on the ground! Get on the ground! Get away! Get away! You know what, okay? So maybe we do have her own biases, and this training can go a long way to help officers make bias-free decisions on the street. This is great. Oh, but there's just one little problem. You see, the shooting of Tony Robinson
Starting point is 00:09:51 was six months ago. The Madison PD started their bias training six years ago! What the hell, what do you have to say for yourself? The key is that we've got to acknowledge that this is a problem that is recurring with all too great a frequency because if no one's talking because we're all hunkered and bunker down, there's no possible way we can move the needle forward. So I think if nothing else, show affirmative steps that you're doing something, damn it's going to make the training less likely to end in those outcomes. Okay, fine, but talk is training training training training training training training traininininininin the the trained trained the the trained trained trained trained the trained training training the the training the training the training to to to to to to to to to the 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to end in those outcomes. Okay, fine, but talk is cheap. Can bias training really change police behavior?
Starting point is 00:10:28 How can we as a public bind to the realism that police bias training could work when you have so many incidents like Tony Robinson? Freddy Gray. Walter Scott. Sandra Banner. Somebody who gets shot next month. Implicit bias training is a good idea, but it's not sufficient.
Starting point is 00:10:47 You don't want to just do a training. You always want to do trainings with policy changes, with community engagement. And even that, there's still going to be these incidents. Because we live in a world where policing is frequently the symptom, not the cause of the inequality. It can't be that police are on one side and communities on the other. The police are the public and the public are the police. Just like in bad boys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:10 You seen bad boys? It's not at all like bad boys? It's not at all like bad boys. It's not at all like bad boys. I mean, like... Have you even seen bad boys? So it's kind of like that, thiis. Bad boys, bad boys. What you're gonna do, what you're gonna do when we come for you, with an open mind and an awareness of our biases and cultural differences.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Nice people, when we come for you. Why the hell am I in the backseat? Jordan Knappelin, Roywood, Jr., everyone. 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. 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?
Starting point is 00:12:14 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 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. most powerful nations in the world. When Xin-Pin talks, it's no laughing matter. We have the right to uphold our own territorial sovereignty and lawful and legitimate maritime rights and interests. Okay, I'm sorry, that's a little funny. It is. Just to be clear, we did not give that interpreter that awesome voice. No, that was Al Jazeera that decided the president of China should sound like he's in an All-Stake commercial commercial. It.

Starting point is 00:13:25 he's in an Allstate commercial. But okay, I'm done, I'm done. Let's hear what he had to say. Beehshu te. We must recognize that countries have different historical processes and realities. And we need to respect people of all countries. I'm sorry, I'm not that. It just, I'm not, I'm not, I'm th, I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to th. to told, I'm to, I'm, I'm told, I'm that, I'm that, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm to, I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too. th. the.. I love this guy. It's almost like they pulled their translator from the top of an R&B song. Like it was just like, baby,
Starting point is 00:13:50 I know I've been doing you wrong. And I, huh? What's that? Yeah, I speak Mandarin. Right now? Yeah, okay. I'll get back to y'all. But despite the lovely dinner with Xi, there are signs that Obama still may not fully trust him. President Obama will not stay at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel while attending the UN General Assembly.
Starting point is 00:14:13 The Posh Park Avenue Hotel is now owned by a Chinese company, sparking concerns that the Communist Nation could spy on top-secret communications. That's a real lazy way to commit espionage. Let's be honest. Come on, China. Is that what you guys are going to do? Oh, we're going to scale the outer wall, sneak into the window, and then we... Ah, screw it. Let's just buy the hotel.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Yeah. For more on this, we go to the Waldo for Stoia with our senior investigators, the senior, the senior, the senior, the senior, theyan, to investigate, to investigate, they, they, to investigate, their, to, to, their, is, is to, is to to to to, is to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, is 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 to to to to to to to to to 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, the, the, to to thi, to to to to to to to to to too, the problem is worse than I thought. For the past three days, I've been over every inch of this presidential sweep, from the four-person jacuzzi to the 800 threadcount sheets. But I bow to stay here as long as it takes to nail this story. That's great, Al, but why are you in a robe? That's a good question, Trevor. The bigger question is, where have the Chinese hidden the bugs? My current suspicion is at the bottom of this glass.
Starting point is 00:15:17 that's a today. Ah, no, just another mimosa. Oh, you're not investigating at all. You're just lounging around in a fancy hotel on our dime. How dare you? Okay, for your information, they sent a Chinese spy to my room last night, and she interrogated me relentlessly for 90 minutes. She beat my back with her fists.
Starting point is 00:15:44 And then, you're not going to believe this, she tortured me with hot stones. Okay? But don't worry, I haven't cracked yet. What do you mean yet? I have another Chinese spy appointment in 10 minutes. Getting some seaweed face torture. This is all a waste. El Madrigal, everyone. This meant nothing. That is not investigative journalism. I want my money 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 with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. So this is it, we meet.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Oh, we meet again. A lot of people to wish me good luck for the job. So thank you very much for it. I'm on on the thrown this summer. It's good to see it. Yeah, what a crazy place. You were wearing shorts. I will never remember that.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I should say it's a better than lie in your first week on the job. There absolutely is not. I guess it's different to your job. Yes, much different than my job. Yes. Well, um, thank you for coming. Let's get straight into it, I guess. Um, I wanted to to talk to you first and foremost about 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, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the tie tops.. tops. tops. tops. I tops. I job. I's, togu. I's, their, their, togu. their, togu. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, theirtalking about people and their visas. People need to have their visas and they don't need to, they shouldn't overstay their time in the U.S. I felt like you were talking to me personally, because that happened one time. But what I didn't understand was the biometrics. You want people to get FedEx stamps. No, no, no. You know that you already have 10 FedEx stamps Well, I was thinking of getting a stamp on my lower
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah, I was thinking of getting like a like a tramp stamp That would be bad. Yeah, probably overnight, but explain it's explained the system to me Hold up both your hands. No, what you got 10 stamps already so the fingerprints? Yeah, okay. Fingerprints unique to every human being. to the traunti. to the throwns so so so so so so so soo. too. too. thinininininininin. too. too. too. they. they. thea. thea. tha. tha. tha. tha. thap-I. thaa. thaa. tha. tha. thaa. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tapp-I. tapp-I. tapp-I. tap. tap. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tamp. tamp. tamp. tamp. tamp. tamp. tamp. tamp. tamp. tamp into the country on visas for a particular period of time. These are not people who are immigrating here to stay here forever. People coming here to work or a student visa or a tourist visa, you're here for a certain period of time. Give a thumbprint when you come in, goes into a database. When you have to access certain services in those services, is it as easy as you say? Because I mean, right now you don't even have exits fingerprints when you leave the United
Starting point is 00:18:27 States. So, I mean, how do you implement them into other places? I read you talking about implementing it in like car rental places, saying that people can't rent a car rental place? But then how does that work? . So, if somebody comes in their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, the, to, the, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I, the, the, the, the, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I's, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, the. And, I. How. And, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. you on the shoulder, say, thanks for coming. Where were you hiding the whole time? Oh, I'll be there the entire time.
Starting point is 00:18:48 You're going to be at all the car rental agencies at the same time? Not every one of them. This is so confusing. Not every one of the one. But I will be in the airports. Yeah. Would you not say that it's a little bit of an overshoot to try and get this going? It's a lot less expensive than a 2,000 mile wall across the entire southern border. How about that?
Starting point is 00:19:13 Tusha, my friend. Tusha. Tushy. Let's talk about those debates. Yeah. Why were they so long? I'm still asking myself that question because there's so many of us up there I mean think about it, you know, I was up there for three hours Two weeks ago and I got to speak for a total of ten minutes That's an entire time that you get to speak ten minutes to everyone two hours in 50 minutes. I'm just going
Starting point is 00:19:49 Oh, who was that? Who is that? It's such an interesting one because because because because because it? like it was a lot about the infighting, you know, and I noticed you said that quite a bit. You said we don't, people are sick and tired of listening to the vicaring. They want to know what their plan is. And I didn't get to hear what your plan is. What is your plan? I only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only the plan. I plan. I plan. I plan. I plan. I plan. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I the. I the. I the. the. the. that is the. thea. the. the. the. the. It was the. It was the. It was the. It was the. It was the. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was. It was. It was th. It was the. It was the. It was the. It's the. It's the. It's the. It's the. It's the. the. the. the. It's the. It's the. It was the. Itthe number of problems we have in this country. I mean, listen, we have to reform entitlements in this country. We spend 71% of our federal budget on entitlements and debt service. That's all money we're spending looking in the rearview mirror and not looking through the windshield.
Starting point is 00:20:15 So that's really, that's overhauling Social Security and Medicare, Medicaid, Medicaid, disability insurance. There's still a lot of the the the the their, Med Med, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, threath. thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thoom. tho, th. tho, th. th. th. th. th. th, th, the federal, th, the federal th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, threat. threat. threats threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, threats, to do that though. Well, there is. And my plan is to increase the retirement age for a couple of years, phasing in over 25 years, so it's really only going up one month a year for 25 years. And then also for people who make a lot of money in retirement. People will make more than $200,000 a year or more in retirement, they don't really need a social security check. The's security. Tek. A their their their between rent and heat and food. We've got to preserve it for those folks. The alternative, of course, is to bring more money into the government. But here's the thing. Why would we trust the government? They've already lied to us and stolen from the trust fund for Social Security. It's why we got a problem now. So we want to give the same people who is... Are you in you? No, I'm nothing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, so, so, so, so, so, so, so Chris Christie gets, he's true.
Starting point is 00:21:08 He's tricky. He's tricky. Yes. Okay, let's, let's, uh, let's, you know, let's, let's, you know, come on. the, C. I'm leaving. I'm going to get to work. Big things are, I heard you talk about, I saw it was on Twitter actually, you're saying, Dear DC, you're asking questions, dear DC. And one of the big things you seem to be opposed to is the fact that you say the GOP leadership is not working in Congress, they're not trying to move things forward.

Starting point is 00:21:48 for not doing your job. You've got to get to know these folks and you've got to find compromise.
