I'll be a waiter, big boy. He's also here to chat about his new solo album, which is gonna be great. But first, let's catch up on today's headlines. Big news coming out of Hollywood, as the Oscars are planning to focus more on movies that people actually watch. Changes are coming to the Oscars. The awards show is adding a popular film category, movies that become box office hits, often nab awards in technical categories,

while the new category creates more opportunities for fan favorites to be recognized, organizers, also say next year's Oscars will be more globally accessible. Thank you, thank you, I mean, don't get me wrong. Artsy movies are great, but like in theory, right? when I watch the Oscars, I want to see Tom Cruise, right? Not some slob in a rented tux who challenge the way we think about solitude. I want to see action. And here's my opinion. If they want to appeal to viewers, they should just add more than one new category. Like I want to the the the best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best best. the best. the best. 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 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 too.au.au.a.a.a. ta.a.a. ta.a.a.a. t we need like hottest crisp. I want like the Oscar for the best white person playing a minority that's what I want and then

the Oscar for best Merrill Street. That's what we want. That's what we want. Spice it up. In other news if you think Donald Trump has problems with Muslim women wait until you hear what British politician Boris Johnson said this week. Boris Johnson set out to criticize Denmark for banning burkers in a recent column for the telegraph, but instead he became the subject of scrutiny himself after insulting the woman who wear them. Johnson said, among other things, it's absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes.

What? You know what's crazy about the story? Is that he said that while criticizing Denmark for banning the burka? Like he was like, how dare you target these mailbox-looking people? Oh, you guys need to work on your tolerance. What now? I'm in trouble? Oh, oh, I see. I see what happened. Damn, Boris. The guy probably had had probably the guy probably had one bad experience putting a letter inside

a woman with a burka, and now he's trying to play it off like we all get them confused. And also, just by the way, maybe Boris Johnson isn't the best person to be criticizing the way other people look. All right? Like, maybe he should be wearing a burqer. Like, he th? Look at this guy. He looks like he just got out of the shower, but somehow it made him dirtier. That's what he looks like. Like Boris Johnson looks like if Donald Trump drank.

That's what he looks like. He looks like if Owen Wilson was addicted to meth and chocolate. That's what he looks like. All right, moving on. And I do mean, moving on. You'll understand in the second. Police and Florida got some unexpected help corralling a suspect after a stolen car chase there. Check this out. Helicopter footage from the Simenold County Sheriff's Office shows the car crashing into a ditch Sunday night.

Look close to there. Our officers capture the driver before he can run very far. Meanwhile, a herd of cows goes out to the fleeing passenger. South and east of you, um, actually the large group of cows is following her. The cows rust and her to the woman to a nearby dirt road deputies were waiting to arrest her. I think this says more about Florida than anything else. Things are so crazy that even the cows are like, well, someone's got to do something.

We've got to do something. And of course, everyone crazy that even the cows are like, well someone's got to do something, we've got to do something. And of course, everyone thinks it's cute when those cows chase that suspect down, but when I chased down criminals at night dressed as a cow, oh no, Trevor's a dangerous vigilante terrorizing this fair city. I mean, I don't actually know who cowman is, but whatever his intentions are, I think they're pretty good. All right, let's move on to our top story. Immigrants. They're the one thing Donald Trump hates more than reading and suits that fits. And who can blame him? Immigrants are responsible for two of his worst marriages.

Since Trump began his campaign, he's headed out for illegal immigrants. And it feels like every week the Trump administration rolls out a new policy aimed at drop-kicking immigrants out of America. But this week was a doozy. An exclusive NBC News report has revealed a new plan within the White House that could target over 20 million immigrants living in the U.S. legally. A program that would make it more difficult for legal immigrants in this country to become citizens or simply to get green cards. This proposal comes from White House Senior Advisor, Stephen Miller.

That's right. Trump is now coming for legal immigrants. And I just wanted to say, thank you so much for having me. I've had a wonderful time. I mean, don't get me wrong. I always thought I would get kicked out of America, but I thought it would be for the way I say zebra. Uh, not just for being an immigrant.

Yeah. And I'm going to stick with that. It's zebra, okay? It's just like Deborah, but it, I'm getting carried away. I'm getting carried away. Trump is coming for legal immigrants. And really, it's no surprise that this latest anti-immigrant policy is the brainchild of Stephen Miller. Senior White House advisor and young Mr. Burns. Because, although we don't often hear from Miller, don't ever forget, he's the mastermind who shaped many of Trump's cruelest policies, including the Muslim ban, overturning Dhaka, and kids in cages.

Yeah, so this guy is so evil, Satan has assigned Stephen Miller jersey in his bedroom. He's like, now that guy's a pro, I love him, man. Because where less creative people might say, what excuse could there possibly be to get rid of people who already live here legally, Stephen Miller found a way. The White House effort led by senior advisor, Stephen Miller would make citizenship or legal status tougher to obtain if they or anyone in their household has ever used some public assistance programs in this country. This could affect up to 20 million legal immigrants in the United States who are trying to get green cards

or move towards citizenship if they use programs like Obamacare, child health insurance, food stamps, even some tax incentives already built in. God damn. Craniom over here is an evil genius. Because you see what he's done, right? They're saying the US won't allow legal immigrants to stay in the US if they've ever used what they call public assistance. And what's interesting is that that description ranges from food stamps all the way through to Obamacare, which by the way you had to get by law. So thanks Obama. Yeah, some of us don't want to go back to Kenya, okay? And under this new policy, if you're an immigrant, they could kick you out for breaking the law or they could kick

you out for following the law. Yeah, and let's just take a moment to acknowledge just how far this escalator we've come down, right? Because when Trump began his journey, his message was this. We have some bad ombrays here and we're going to get them out. They're removing the bad ones, and that's where our focus is. It's the bad ones. We're looking at the bad ones, and I said that from day one. I said from the day I'm president, we're getting rid of the bad ones. Okay, fine. So firstthemselves bad ombres? I mean That's the price you pay but then as time progressed it moved to I know there are good

Ombres, but they came here in a bad way so adios? Yeah, but that was it. I mean those people were illegal, right? Everyone else was cool because they came in legally. And no one loves legal more than Trump. Donald Trump stands for the rule of law. He respects the immigrants who came here legally, who played by the rules, who waited their turn. I promise you, he is going to remain completely focused on American citizens and people who are here legally and how we get this country working for people who play by the rule. I want people to come in.

I want immigrants to come in, but they have to come in legally. Legally. Legally. Legally. Now, it can also be barely legally. In fact, I prefer it that way, but legally, either way, legally. But now we also see that that that's not true that's If you came here legally and you use certain services, you were allowed to use legally, now the Trump administration is telling you to get the fuck out, right?

Bad hombrays, good hombrays, hombrays. And I'll be honest with you, I wouldn't be surprised if one day he goes after people he considers ombreish. Yeah, and look, I know in the Constitution, the 14th Amendment says if you were born in the United States, you're a citizen. But if Donald Trump had his way, I think he would get rid of that, too.

The 14th Amendment is very questionable as to whether or not somebody can come over, have a baby and immediately that baby is a citizen. The 14th Amendment. You can't th amendment th amendment th amendment th amendment th amendment th amendment th amendment 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't change the 14th Amendment. It'll take so long. On that, I agree. But you know what? An act of Congress said, the 14th Amendment, I was right on it. You can do something with it, and you can do something fast.

You can do something fast. Trump really doesn't know anything about American politics. He thinks Congress can do something fast. That's what he thinks. That's his idea. I've seen them so fast. It reminds me of that story, tortoise and the hair, both super fast, same speed. But you heard him, you heard him. If Trump had his way, even being born in the US

wouldn't guarantee that you can stay. Yeah. And I know a lot of people always think that Trump's immigration immigration the immigration the immigration. But here's the way you got to think of it. Trump's immigration policies are a lot like an STD. It can get to anybody, no matter who you are or where you come from. And the more people it spreads to, the more likely it is that you'll be the next one to get Donald Rhea. We'll be right back. 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 day show. My guest to like is a Grammy Award-winning rapper, actor, and record producer whose latest album is called Boomerverse.

Please welcome, Big Boy! Wow, welcome to the show. What's up, buddy? This is so amazing having you here. I mean, I've been a fan of yours since I began listening to hip-hop music. You have been instrumental in shaping what many people consider just music today, you know? Are you, are you surprised at how music has changed in terms of like hip hop just being the default music?

You know, youhop has always been the voice of the youth, you know what I mean? And so for it to be spreading across, you know, the whole world, it's the voice of rebellion, you know what I mean? And we started out, you know, outcast, southern playlists of Cadillac music when it wasn't cool to be from the South. And now, you know, the South is kind of a comes out of Atlanta and the music that is shaped by Atlanta has essentially become hip-hop. Everyone you know from Drake through to ASAP Rocky everyone has some type of influence in the music from Atlanta right now. Yeah. You are still in the music game. Yeah. You are still making music but what I find interesting is it seems like you

enjoy touring more than the accolades that come from the music. Yeah The best touring touring touring touring tooing to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the music. the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to be to be to be to be. to be to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to to to to to to to to to to to their is is is is. the the the the the the the the thi. the the thr. the thr. the thr. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the throoooooooooo. too. too. too. too. the from the music? Yeah, the best, you know, touring to me is my favorite part of, I mean, besides creating the music, but to get a chance to travel and see different cultures and go to Japan and Australia and Europe, like when we first started out, I mean, we hadn't been out of Atlanta, maybe the Disney world of Florida, but you know, you go to Europe or France and you see different cultures and it just expands your mind and you see that life is bigger than the block or the neighborhood where you live from. So it's important to travel. Were you ever amazed at some of the countries you'd go to where people couldn't speak English but they could sing every lyric of your song? Amazing. Yeah, I mean, you say hey man, but music is a universal language.

Right. I saw just yesterday you retweet, you retweeted, according to Forbes, Atlanta is the number one city where African Americans are doing the best economically. Yeah. Has tag, city of opportunities. How does Atlanta as a city seem different to you? Because I mean, you're someone who has been there 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 theate 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 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 te. the the the the the the the twee.e. the the the twee different phases of Atlanta. Have you seen a complete change? Yeah, absolutely. Like, you know, first it started with, you know,

LA Raid and Babyface with LaFace Records. And you know, they gave us a shot and they had TLC and Tony Braxton. And then, uh, the movie industry came. And so along with that, you know, And then I guess in the past five or six years, like Atlanta traffic is like New York and LA traffic now. And I think that's when I discovered, yeah. That's how you know you've made it. Yeah. You're the one person, everyone else is honking in the traffic and you're sitting there like,

we made it. That's right. No, no, no, you can come on in. people giving each other a shot and you know one of the artists who has been eternally grateful to you is Janelle Monet who I love and adore. She's got such an interesting voice and a style and just her music is amazing. Why was it so important to you to go out and find artists who most record labels may not have seen as a commercially viable product? I think with me like two of my greatest accomplishments outside of being an outcast is signing Janelle Monet and Killer Mike and so you know finding those artists and and seeing that there's you know

artists that can kind of take the baton and run with it right? Right. They both kind of knew what they wanted and I didn't have to really babysit them what they were doing. It's just like help them flesh out ideas and to see where they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are. they are. they are. they are. they are. they are. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm their. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. And th. And th. And, th. And, th. th. th. And th. th. th. And th. And th. And thi. And thi. And them flesh out ideas and to see where they are right now, it's just, I'm like a proud big brother of both of them, for sure. You've got a, you've got Bumerverse, which has been out for a while now and yet is still charting. Yes. Which is, yeah, I mean, yes. That is honestly like a test listen to it, the more they enjoy it,

the more they enjoy it, the more they're playing it. You're out on the road and you're playing it. What did you want Bumerverse to be for people and what have you found people take from it? I think the boomerverse to me is like, boomer ver. like the Big Bang Theory. Whenever I make music, I want to do something that's totally different from anything I've ever done. You know what I mean? So it's challenging to push yourself for new melodies, rhyme patterns,

beat wise, and just to kind of create that project that's going to be one cohesive body at work. So music right now is recreational to me. And I do it because I love it, and I love touring and I the the the to their to their to to their to to their and I'm to tour in touring and I touring, and I touring, and I touring, and I touring, and I touring, and I tors, and I to and I tha, and I their, tha, tha, and I their their their their and I their and I their and I their, their, their, their music, thoes, thoes, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their new, the the the toomorrow, toomorrow, toomorrow, toomorrow, toomorrow, toomorrow, toomorrow, thea, thea, thea, the fans, so to kind of break down different barriers and music and still doing it like almost 25 years. We started when we're like 16, it's great, man, to see the fans still loving it, and it's generations of people that listen to the music, touering, and following the touring,

and follow what we do, when I see the way you're living you love so it's making the music touring finding new artists and then you're doing really cool stuff like you're working on an animated show as well right? Yes yes you're gonna be voicing like an animated show now? Yes yes it's a call hotlain of wax and I yeah yeah I play I play a retired CIA James Bond special agent right who buys a car wash that's long like an ancient burial ground. And it's sci-fi, so you have like zombie strippers, uh, dinosaurs, you know, it's real, real quirky, you know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I picked that up. I like, you don't have to go beyond the zombie strippers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it's like kind of, you know, sci-fi, it's fine. I'm with you, I'm with you, and tell me about the animals, because like one thing I did not know about big brible. I never pictured you as an animal breeder, as someone who's like into the world of growing animals.

Yes, well, I mean, me and my brother got unit is unbelievable. you know, kind of breeding pit bulls maybe back maybe 20 years ago. And then we got into French Bulldogs. And then my new fetish now, I, um, uh, so I got it to owls. Like, owls? Right. So, yeah, yeah. So my assistant, Shea, she's into birds. And the guy who trains her birds brought this owl to the studio one time. Right. And I fell in love with him and I bought two owls, Hoody and Hoody and Hoody.

Who do you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You know, like Mike Tyson best things available now. Big Boy everybody. The Daily Show with Cover the the theail show weeknights at 11, 10 Central on Comedy Central and the Comedy Central app.
