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, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. Everly. Thank you so much. I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much.

I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out. As well. Thank you so much. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is a star of Blackish and the creator of a brand new hair care line. Tracy Ellis Ross is joining us everybody. And we're double lucky we're also going to be talking to one of the Democratic presidential candidates who's also got a new hair care line. Montana Governor Steve Bullock is joining us. Also on tonight's show, we figure out how to save the Amazon rainforest.

Super Mario Brothers go back to school and Donald Trump finally gets his wall. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's kick it off with the border wall. Trump's favorite imaginary friend. Building it was his biggest campaign promise. And if you voted for him, then good news, it's finally happening. President Trump tonight diverting billions of dollars from the Pentagon from the military to fund his border wall. The Pentagon notifying lawmakers, it is diverting funds away from over 100 military construction projects. 3.6 billion dollars in total to pay for the President's border wall.

Cutting funds Congress approved for all sorts of programs like $40 million from Camp Lejeune, $160 million from West Point, and the single largest cut in the United States and its territories, $400 million for efforts to rebuild military sites in Puerto Rico after they were wrecked by Hurricane Maria. President Trump says the money is needed as a matter of national security. Wow. He seems like an idiot, but this guy is a genius. No, you see, I didn't see it before, but clearly,

this was his plan all along. Think about it. Trump builds the wall by taking money away from the military. Now America has no military, and it's totally defenseless. So Mexico invades, takes over America. Now Mexico runs America, which means Mexico is paying for the wall Brilliant Brilliant plan Wow No for real man Trump is struggling here. He went from Mexico will pay for the wall to stealing the money from his own military? If this is how he negotiates I can see why he went bankrupt so many times. Like, he would be the worst kidnapper ever. If you want to see your son again, you're

going to need to pay me a million dollars. I don't have a million dollars. Then I'm going to pay you. All right, let's move on now to some international news. While schools in America are trying to get the scores high school. Kids in England are England are then get a high score. Kids in England are going to learn life skills a whole new way by playing video games. Get this, Nintendo games are being introduced into the curriculum to help teach computing and other skills. Classics like Mario and Donkey Kong will become a fixture in the classrooms as well, just like Shakespeare and the periodic table of the elements. The head of the initiative believes this will inspire the next generation of young minds across the United Kingdom. Yes, you heard that right.

Super Mario will be taught in schools just like Shakespeare. They're going to be playing Nintendo games as part of school. Like, that's the one thing that could make video games boring. Is a teacher trying to teach it. Just being like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like the their thiiiiiii, now thi, thi, rying to teach it. Just being like, now remember students, as in real life, the best way to kill a turtle is to jump on it, okay? I will say, I think teaching Mario in school is a great idea. I mean, I learn so many things from that game that I still follow today.

You know, if you eat spicy importantly, you never get the girl because she's always in another castle. Yeah? Because it's a castle. You can chase her around. You can chase her all you want. Yeah, but she's not coming back to your shitty studio apartment when the other guy has a castle.

So stop stalking her and get a job. These are the lessons I learned from games. And finally, a new the the amusement park ride that wasn't so amusing. And in the category of You Had One Job, a German amusement park has been forced to shut down a new ride after customers noted, parts of it look like a giant spinning swat sticker. The Adler Flug, which is German for Eagle's flight, consists of eagle-shaped cars connected to an axis that strongly resembles the notorious symbol of Nazi Germany.

After a social media backlash, the owners immediately closed the ride. Oh man, that does not look good. And it's even worse when you see the sign that says you must be this tall to ride. Honestly, you know, the most shocking part of this story for me is that Germans have amusement parks. That doesn't seem like a German idea. You just picture them out like, family, we are going to have a mandatory fun day.

And remember when we get our picture taken, we show German joy! Now, look, obviously, this was a mistake. But if you're a German, you can't afford to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a to have a amusement have a amusement have a to have a to have a amusement have to have to have to have to have to have a amusement amusement to have a amusement amusement to have a amusement amusement to have a amusement amusement to have a amusement amusement this was a mistake, but if you're a German, you can't afford to make this kind of mistake, all right? Stay away from anything that could even closely resemble the swaths. In fact, just stay away from right angles, completely. Everything in Germany should be curved. All the buildings should be curved, tables and chairs should be curved.

Don't even dance the robot. It's dangerous. Yeah, just keep it tight. Finger guns, finger guns. Okay, actually no guns. You're German, no guns. Just peace signs. Peace signs.

All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. toock, it's of the devastation of Hurricane Dorian, which is such a crazy storm that it somehow hit the Bahamas, the Carolinas, and then, thanks to President Trump's Sharpie pen, also Alabama. Yeah, Trump basically thinks his Sharpie can bend reality to be whatever he wants it to be, which I guess is why all his family photos look like this. But the conversation about climate change is happening all over the world. More than ever right now and the focus is on another major

disaster unfolding in Brazil. Brazil is Amazon rainforest the world's largest is burning at a record rate. There have been more than 74,000 fires this year up 84% from last year. For weeks now, the Amazon rainforest, one of Earth's most valuable resources has been ravaged by fires. The collection of tens of thousands of blazes engulfing an area, two-thirds the size of the continental United States, fires burning from the equivalent of Detroit to Los Angeles. Brazil has deployed 44,000 troops, but most fires go unfought here.

On the front lines at one fire, twice the size of New Jersey, only 30 men are fighting the flames with no hoses, sometimes just kicking the fire. Just kicking the fire? They're dealing with a forest fire, the same way I deal with an ice cube that fell on the floor. It's like, ah, go away, go into the fridge. Rah!

I mean, I guess it sort of makes sense because Brazil is the soccer capital of the world, so they probably try to solve everything through kicking, you know? I bet instead of CPR, they just kick this is a big problem for Brazil. But the real problem, the real problem, is that it's the world's issue, right? Because the Amazon isn't just some random forest nobody cares about, like forest wittaker. No, the rainforest is critical to keeping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. It mitigates climate change, and it's the world's most diverse ecosystem, which is why all around the world, people are demanding something be done.

The political here. Getting hotter. At home and around the world, protests in Canada, France, Germany, England. I'm just really scared that when I'm older, the world that I'm living in isn't going to be as nice to this now. The outcry on social media has been huge, with the hashtag, Pray for the Amazon Trending. Oscar winner and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio speaking out in a series of

posts on Instagram. The lungs of the earth are in flames. Yes, from young people in Europe, all the way to Hollywood stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, everyone has come together to raise awareness for the Amazon. And can I just say how impressed I am that Leonardo DiCaprio is so dedicated to fighting climate change? I mean, the guy raised like $5 million for this. He's out there every day and don't forget, he died because of an iceberg, right?

But he's still out there fighting to protect them. That is dedication, my friends. Now look, as part of nature's cycle, the Amazon rainforest experiences fires every single year, but the reason these fires have gotten so much attention is because it looks like Brazil's new president, Jairee Bosanaro, is quite literally fanning the flames. Brazil's president didn't strike the match that lit these flames, but many say, given his policies and his response to the crisis he might as well have. It is believed that many that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the fires that the fires the fires that the fires the fires thi thi the fires thi the fires thi the fires the fires the fires thi thi the fires the fires the fires didn't their the fires the his policies and his response to the crisis, he might as well have. It is believed that many of the fires were started by farmers trying to clear land.

Balsanaro's seeming support for the development of the Amazon may have emboldened farmers to burn land. He campaigned on the idea that economic development was being stifled because of unnecessary affection for the Amazon. He's delighted his supporters by saying too much of the forest is protected. Since he came into power he's been stripping protections from the Amazon forest and other forests in Brazil and encouraging farmers to set fire to land and clear it. Okay, that is insane man. Running for president on a promise of destroying the Amazon forest.

Doesn't sound like real life, it sounds like something the Joker would say. And then even when he gets to office, he'd be like, burn down the Amazon. Come on, that was just something I said. I was joking, I'm the Joker. It's not funny when you have to explain the joke. Come on, guys. But yes, it turns out Brazil's president is more interested in the commercial in thethe Amazon rainforest than the life it protects.

Which might explain why he's so resistant to accepting help from the rest of the world. Brazilian President Jayer Bolsonaro is refusing $20 million an emergency aid from G7 countries to fight those fires, calling it part of a colonial mentality. Bolsonaro adding, he didn't trust the motivation behind the money, telling reporters earlier this week, why do they have their eye on the Amazon? What do they want there? What do they want there? They want the Amazon to not burn down.

Just because you want to exploit the Amazon rainforest, doesn't mean everyone else does. Can you imagine living next door to help? His house? Are you trying to sleep with my wife? And you'd be like, no, it's just your house is on fire, so it might come to me. Like my wife? No, hey!

Now, many leaders, many leaders of the world's biggest nations have criticized the Brazilian. . president before he's in action, but no one has been more vocal than French president Emmanuel McComb, which is why Bolsonaro and his government have decided to light his ass up. The rhetoric between France and Brazil really heating up as these fires continue to burn. Bolsonaro's chief of staff brought the recent Notre Dame fire into the fight saying quote, Macron cannot even avoid a predictable fire in a church that is part of world heritage and wants to give lessons to our country. On Monday, Bolsonaro endorsed a Facebook post, mocking the appearance of Macron's wife.

Bolsonaro joined in on a meme on Facebook about the French First Lady Bridget Macron's appearance compared to his own wife and he said, quote, don't humiliate the guy. God damn. That's one of the most petty things I've ever seen. Macron said the world needs to save the Amazon and in response, Bolsonaro came for Notre Dame and Macron's wife. Yeah, this is going to make the next UN meeting so awkward. Yeah. They're going to have to put Israel and Palestine between Brazil and France just to ease the

attention to be like, all right. So as it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it stands it's the the the the the the the the the their their their 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 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 be to be to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be their. the their their their their their their the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. toea. toease. to to to to to to to to to just calm them down. So as it stands, the situation seems pretty bad. The world's most precious forest is on fire. Brazil's leaders aren't doing enough to stop it, and its president might even want this to happen. So I'm gonna be honest, folks. Seems like there's only one man who can stop this. Donald J. Trump. You see, what we need to do is, we need to get the president to pull out that magic march, that magic shoppy of his.

And we need to get him to send that hurricane down from Alabama all the way to Brazil to fan off the flames. Come on, Mr. Trump, use your power for good! Do it now, Donald! Do it now! We'll be right back. Do it, Donald. 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 talk 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. My first guest tonight is the Democratic governor of Montana and candidate for president of the United States. Please welcome Governor Steve Bullock. Welcome to the show.

It's great to be with you. What a time to be running for presidents. The Hunger Games. What is it at this point? It feels like that. There were 24, 25, I think five dropped out, so we're still at too many. But you are still confidently running in this race with a platform that many have said is different to what you see from the other candidates.

What do you think separates you? Yeah, I think I am the only one in this field that actually won a Trump state. Donald Trump took Montana by 20. I was reelected by 4. 25 to 30 percent of my voters actually voted for Donald Trump. And that's also being, if the core of the word progressive, it's really making progress, but it will make meaningful progress in everything from education to protecting civil liberties, to protecting women's right to make her own health care decisions, to really move

and kicking dark money out of our elections. And I've done this the whole time with a legislature that's about 60% Republican. So we have to show that we can get things done. I've also taken on what I think is the biggest threat to all of us, and this is really the corrupting influence of money in our overall system. So I think I'd bring things geographically different. I'm the only governor left in this hunger games. Right.

Generationally different. And, you know, being about the why, then. Why do you think it is that somebody could vote for you with those progressive policies and then turn around and also vote for Donald Trump? It seems like a paradox. Yeah, I mean, for one thing, I mean, Montana is the G graphic size of Japan, right? It's the fourth largest to them. I actually have to engage all across that state.

I show up, I listen, try to figure out what's happening. And I really do focus on getting things done. I think one of the challenges, like when you look at 60% of people in this country, haven't had a pay increase in real terms in 40, right right right. 90% 30 year olds back then were doing better than their parents were at age 30. Today it's only half. So there's a whole lot of folks that say, this economy's not working for us.

Democrats often seem a little bit elitist and not even showing up and listening to some of the challenges. So I think that that I stood for. But they also knew that I gave a damn about their life and I do everything possible to try to make their life better. Do you think that's the big rift in the Democratic Party right now is this idea that they don't have to listen or there's an elitist view? Is that what might be hurting the back a long time we have this guy named Moe Udall, he ran for president. He goes, when Democrats organize a firing squad, we usually do it in a circle,

right? We're really good at kind of shooting it, wanted it. Right. But I do think, like, look, I actually went to law school here in New York. I went to Columbia law school. End up having to pay off $17,000 of debt in today's terms. tod, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. Right, right. Right. Right. Right. Right. We their. We their. We their. We. We their. We their. We their. We their. We their th. We're their thi. We're thi. We're thi. We're thi. We're thi. We're thi. We're thi. We're th. We're thee. We're the. We're theree. We're the. We're their terms. It impacted what I could do along the way. So yeah, we have to make sure the college is affordable. We got to make sure everybody has a path. But when 68% of Americans don't even have a two-year college degree, have no degree, and all we're talking about is those folks that went to college. Sometimes I think that there is a disconnect where folks are saying, what are you going to do their their their their tha thoes thoes thoes thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thousand, thousand, and thousand, and thousand, and thousand, and, and, and, and, thousand, and, thousand, and, thousand, thousand, thousand, what are you gonna do to help my life get better? And then they look to Washington, D.C., right? And it's not worrying about them when you look at it

that whoever cleans up tonight, this place, paid more in taxes than 60, Fortune, 500 companies. Folks are just saying, it's not working, but let's not kid ourselves. Like Donald Trump said he'd have your back? He has not. He's helped out stock buybacks. Or he said, look, we'll drain the swamp. It's swampier today than it ever was. So you, you know, you have a grosp of these ideas. You understand the legislative side of fixing the problems,

but you've specifically said you don't want to run as a senator. You know, people have said, okay, forget the presidential race. Why don't help the Democrats win the Senate race? That's going to make a bigger change. But you've said, I want to be an executive. What do you think the big differences between just being a politician and being in a position? to be a position, to be, the, they, they, they, theypipipipipipipipipipipipip, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, too, the the to be, to be, 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 the thr.. too, too, too, too, too, too, tooome.e. too, tooanananananananananananananan. too, too, too, too a, you know, that's more executive in its decision making. Yeah, I mean, I actually have to get shit done, right? I can't just, sorry, oh, we shouldn't say that on a cable television.

No, no, that's just, you don't expect to hear that. I mean, me, meaning that like, I can't go give speeches. I see people when they're struggling with health care. When I bring my son to a grocery store, somebody brings up an issue. It can't just be about even the partisan food fight. You have to meaningfully impact people's lives. And even as governor, like Montana, when you look at everything from, boy, I'm commander-in-chief of national guard. I've sent people on their fourth and fifth deployment overseas. Or when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when th th th th th th th th th when when when when tho when their their tho their thoo their thoom thoom thoom to to to to to to to to to to to tooome, I tooomease tooes tooes, I tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. tooom. to tooom. tooom. too. too. I too. I too. I too. I too. I too. I too. I too. I too. I too. I'm too. I'm too. tooooooooose. I'm tooose. tooes. tooes. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. I sent people on their fourth and fifth deployment overseas or when you look at college affordability. Well I froze college

tuition. We have the fourth lowest tuition fees in the nation. We want to make sure it's affordable. So as executive you have to deal with all these issues that come through your desk every single day and I think I do bring a different perspective. Other than a perspective though on a policy side, what would you say is the one thing that separates you from all other 20 Democrats running for president? Because everyone has progressive ideas, you know, people want to lower college tuition, people are saying we've got to get money out of politics. There are a few ideas.

What do you think is the one thing I come with beyond perspective, policy-wise, that'll change America. Yeah, and I think part of it is that I've not just talked about it, I've done it, right? When you look at dark money in our elections, we passed one of the most progressive laws in the country with the two-thirds Republican legislature that says, look, even if you call yourself Americans for America, for America or whatever it is, if you're going thiiiiii, if you're thi, if you're thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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, thi, th, th is th is th is th is th is th is th, I I th is th, I th.... th is th is th is thi, look, look, look, look, look thi, look thi, look thi, look thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, th is. If you're going to spend in our elections, you have to disclose every dollar you're spending last 30 days. Never forget when I was run for re-election in 2016 about, oh 92 days out, the Koch brothers, Americans for Prosperity, mailed every household in Montana. They even mailed the governor's residence. My three kids are looking at this and saying are you really that much of a creep dad?

But then it stopped, right? It stopped 90 days out. And elections actually became about the candidates and people. And if we can stop there, we can stop them everywhere. Because if you look at the issues that we're facing right now, and a lot of them that are talking about in this Democratic primary, from climate change, to to to to climate change, to climate, to climate, to climate, to climate, to climate, to climate, to climate, to to the the the the the the thii.. the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi............ And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theeea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea, to income inequality, to the fact that Costco can negotiate prescription drugs, but it's illegal for the federal government to negotiate prices. All of those things in part goes back the corrupting influence of money in our system.

If we're going to fix that, then we can also fix all these other things. Take the money out. Fix the system. On guns, you've had a progressive view that some felt wasn't progressive enough. And then over time, your views evolved. You weren't a fan of universal background checks. And then after Parkland, you came and you said, listen, I think we need to do more to fight guns getting into the wrong people's hands.

Some say, oh, that's not progressive enough, but how do you think the conversation in and around guns needs to be handled, especially as someone coming from Montana? Yeah, and I'm a gun owner, right? I hunt. 40% of households in America have a firearm in them. Never forget I'm sitting in my office, I'm sitting, I'm sitting, I'm sitting, I'm sitting, I'm sitting, I'm sitting in thi, I'm sitting in thi, I'm sitting in thi, I'm sitting in thi, I'm sitting in my thi, I'm sitting in my thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, th.. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not that's not that's not that's not that's not that's not thi. that's not that's not, and we were asked to lower the flags. I'm like, I don't even know what to write in this proclamation. And a co-worker, a young staff, who goes, oh, we now have a template for mass shootings.

I've lowered him nine times since then, seven times since Parkland. I think if we could ever actually look at this as a public health issue, not as a political issue. Public health issue would say universal background checks, look the vast majority of Republicans, vast majority of NRA members think that we should have universal background checks. Red flag laws, safe storage. Dixon Wal-Mart no longer even sell assault weapons. There's no reason, you know, they're not used for hunting, they're not used for self-defense. We shouldn't do that as a that as a that as th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. I, thii, th. I, thi, th. th. thi, thi, thi, 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, toge. I's toguu. I's togu. togu. I togui. their, their, their, their, their, they're not used for hunting, they're not used for self-defense. We shouldn't do that as well. But I think when I was growing up, I mean the NRA was it was a gun safety, it was a hunting and a shooting organization. I'll give you 30 million reasons why we're not making a

bit of progress. That's 30 million dollars that they spent getting Trump elected and we're at this point where look. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, the thi, the thi, the the the thi, the thi, the thi, the the thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi th. thi th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the is the is the an throan, throanananan, throan, throan, thean, throan, throan, throan, theanananananan, thean, th point where, look, he said it right after Parkland. He said, universal background checks, we ought to do it. He talked the head of NRA, immediately walked backwards. After the El Paso and Dayton shootings, the same thing happened as well. So I think that the way that we do make progress on this, first of all, figure out who's funding, like are the Russians or who the NRA, but more than that, recognizing that the commonality, I've never met a gun owner that isn't worried about saying, I sure hope my kid, when he has to go through those active shooter drills at school, I sure hope my kid never gets involved in something like that. If we could ever make it even gun owners and gun owners alike, saying we've got to change what's happening here,

and we could actually do it, we don't have to rely on just Washington, D.C. along the way. Pretty impressive plans. You seem like a focused man. Yeah. Good luck in the rest of the race. Thanks for having. I hope we see you at the next debate. Governor Steve Bullock, 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? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. My next guest is a Golden Globe award-winning actor who executive produces the new ABC series mixed-ish. She's also the founder and CEO of the new haircare brand, Patton Beauty.

Let's talk first about mixed-I-I-I. th-I. th-I. th-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-s-I-s-s-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but-I-I-I-I-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-I-s-s, I-s, I-s-s-s, I sound, I sound, I'm, I'm, I'm, I know, but, but, I'm, but, I'm, but, I'm,talk first about mixed-ish. Yeah, let's do it. So blackish, huge success, right?

And then mixed-ish is a spin-off. So there's blackish, there's grownish, and then there's mixed-ish. Yes, the mixed-ish goes backwards. Right. So it's my, my character, Boz's childhood. OK, about growing up as a mixed-raised child in like a much earlier thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thi, th, thi, thi, th, thi, th, th, th, thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and th, and th, and th, and, th, thi, and th, and thish, and thish, and thish, and thish, 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, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and, thi, thi, and, and, thi, and, thi, and, thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi-s, thi-s, there, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, ths. Good clothes, good hair, not. You know what's interesting about like that feeling and that time is like being mixed race comes the really interesting narrative in America. It does.

It does. Where you're from. Yeah, no, definitely. You obviously have the one drop rule. It's like, like, that's like, that. the tha.. the enough and what is black what does it how does that define? How does black count? Like is that ripe for comedy? Sure I mean it's just like the subject matter on blackish. If you list the things that we

have done as stories on blackish you wouldn't think it was a comedy right but I think that the things that we go that we go that we go that we go that we go that we go go that we go that we go go go th go th go that we go tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thrown that we go thrown. that we go that we go that we go that we go that we go that the the that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the is the is the is the is the is the is the. the. theee. theeee. theeeee. theee. theeeeee. theeeee. thee. Mixed dish is the story of how I came to be as Bo Johnson, but it's the story of a fish out of water which all of us experience in many different ways. I think the beauty of it is when you're telling the mixed story you have these two different experiences, two different heritages, two different worlds, how do you within that world define yourself? And I think a lot of us experience that whether it's because you have two different races or heritages that you come from, but when you feel other than, but when you feel other than, but when you feel other than, but when you feel like you know, like you came from this

world like you know, Diana Ross's daughter and it just feels like you were just like in the mix all the time. With guns, just boys and you know, just like, who was the 80s? Yeah. No, it's a journey, it's like the journey with my hair. It's like the journey with my mother and I come from a family where I'm, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, to, the, th, the, th, the, th, the, tho, tho, tho, the, tho, the, the, tho, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the the the their, the, their, their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, and, and, the, and, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thro, the, the, the the thro, throwne, but the world around me and the representation and what I saw told me that my hair should be a different way and that my beauty was defined by a standard that I did not fit into into. And so as a result, I tried to beat my hair into submission, make it look easy, breezy, bouncing and behaving. Yes.

All these different things. And I started this journey, you could chronicle my journey of to, I, I, I, I, I, I, thapapapapapapape, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, the, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th.. And, and, th. And, and, and, and, and, th... And, th. And, th, th, th, tho, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, tho, and, and, and, to, and, and, togea. And, and, togea. And, toge. And, toge. And, toge. And, through my journey with my hair. It's interesting because if we see your hair now like when I when I stalk you on social media I see everyone loves the hair everyone's like oh my wish by my hair I wish my hair and you had this amazing series of posts where you put out like your journey of of how you struggled with your hand like relaxing the hair straight they're blowing out the head just trying to get it to not to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the to the the their. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their I their I their I their I their I their 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 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I their I their. their I their I their. their I their their their th. th. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the. the. their their their their blowing out their head, just trying to get it to not be what everybody loves. Well, what it is. Yes. And I think, you know, the standard of beauty is steeped in patriarchy, racism, sexism. There was a standard of what things look like.

We are in a different time now as there's an exploration happening. But these people with my hair, you, we've existed for long time. We've been wearing our hair for ages. And I think the world is kind of waking up to our beauty and our power. I always, did you ever wear your hair big? Are you kidding? I always wanted to have my hair straight always. See? No really, because I was like the thick. Because in school for instance, they would be like, if your hair is curly,

they were like, they're like, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, they would be like, if your hair is curly, it's too, they were like, it's messy, it's ugly, so you know, like, teachers would be like, hey, cut your hair. Be appropriate. Yeah, but then like, the white boys would have like that hair that's like, yeah, falls in your face. You know, the hair, like, you know, like, where you know, like, their thinn't, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the. Yeah, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the's the way the girls stood because their hair were too. Oh you wanted the hair to do? Yeah. It didn't do anything but I would just be like yeah. Whatever. Oh are you talking to me? Oh that's so amazing. Right? So I did yeah. So then I went and then I like would even like try and relax my hand and then they burnt my the scalp. Yes. You know you do the whole thing. Yeah. the whole the whole the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. th. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole. 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 put the thing in, they like, leave it in, and you're like, it's burning. And they're like, good, good. Good, good. Good, the more it burns the straighter it becomes. And it's horrible. Let's all of your heritage, everything that is you naturally, let's burn it out of you, no. So you have a new, you have a new hair

to their care line specifically designed for, textured hair. Woo! Look at that. So that your hair can be celebrated, nourished, it can be healthy, hydrated, happy, joyful and juicy. Wow. Wow. Just like that.

What is the difference? What is the difference? That's one thing I've always wanted to know because I know like for instance I had to learn very early on that there are many hair care products you can't use with this kind th..... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It the the kind th. It th. It th. It the th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It the. It the. It the. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It the the the the the t. It tttttttttttttttttte. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. one thing I've always wanted to know. Because I know, like for instance, I had to learn very early on that there are many hair care products you can't use with this kind of hair. Yeah. Like, you know what I learned is when I first started traveling, I remember the first time I stayed in a hotel.

Oh, no, that's a bad mistake. And th this is just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just made for your hair. It's like using a bar of soap. Yes, and I didn't know this. And I was like, oh, free shampoo. And then up those are like, no, I see why it's free. It's thri. It was horrible. So what makes your products different for, like tight, coily, curly, coily, tighter textures. Yeah. Filled with ingredients that are that thiiii, thi, thi, the ingredients, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thight, titer titer titer tie, tie, tie, tie, thight, thight, thight, thight, thighter, thighter thighter thighter thigh, thigh, thigh, thight, thight, thight, thight, thight, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. So, I thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi. thi. So, thi. So, thi. thi. thi. So, thi. So, th hair, ingredients that nourish your hair,

that I don't know if you are somebody with this kind of hair, you know that you want slippage, you want clumping, you want curl activation. Wow. Yeah, you want hydration, you want moisture. I hear a lot of, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. That's what you want, Trevor. So there's three conditioners, medium, heavy, and intensive. There is a hydrating shampoo that gently cleanses but does not strip the hair of moisture.

This is fun. Yeah. There's two oil serums, an argon serum, which I like to mix with the leave-in conditioner. There is also a Yehoba serum, which is a blend of oils. Those can be used on your scalp, on your hair wet. And then there's also a shower brush, a clip and a towel. And, what's this? And a leave and conditioner because a lot of us, because our hair needs moisture, often don't rinse our conditioner completely out, which is actually not what you should do. Wow. Because the conditioner really should only be left in your hair for as long as it is prescribed. But when you finish rinsing, you want that moisture to be still in your hair, and you want to seal in the cuticle of the hair. This is such a technical talk, guys. Right, so that you can get the curl.

You want to seal it in and get that curl. And so you get that, I to come to the daily show with like curls. It's like coming out of my hair. Just be like, these are my curls. I love the soundless. Congratulations on the shows, but you know what? Congratulations on just being like a kickass, everything. Oh, you're kind of a CEO. of these products so much that if you look under your seats right now... You guys don't even believe me! We didn't even look at it.
