From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York. This is the Daily Show. Thank you for tuning in. I'm Trevor Noah. Take a seat people. Welcome to it. Our guest tonight, our guest tonight, our guest tonight is the author of the new book, She Persisted Around the World. Chelsea Clinton is joining us.

But first up, if you are a racist barista at Starbucks, good news. You've got about a month left to while out. Starbucks is in high-level damage control after this video showing two black men arrested for trying to use the bathroom and refusing to leave a Philadelphia store. Well, the coffee chain just announced it will be closing more than 8,000 of its stores in the U.S. It's for racial bias training for nearly 175,000 employees. I'm embarrassed, ashamed.

I think what occurred was reprehensible at every single level. I think I take it very personally as everyone in our company does, and we're committed to making it right. That was a really great interview. It's just a shame that when it ended Gail King was arrested for not ordering a coffee. No, no, but seriously though, I want to say props to Starbucks, right? As a company, they didn't just apologize, they're actually doing something about it. And I think that's a pretty cool thing. And I bet from now on, they're going to be a lot more careful when it comes to dealing with race. In fact, I was thinking, you know what black people should do?

I think we should see just how far we can push Starbucks now. Just to mess with them. Like, yeah, now we go back after they've done the racial bias training and just use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use use the bathroom but take out all the toilet paper home with us. Yeah, you know, y'all have a problem with this? Y'all, y'all, no, no, no, you don't. I appreciate your sensitivity. Yeah, I do. Yeah, we should just go crazy, just to mess with them. You know, bring our whole church in there, throwing it.

You know, start a braiding hair. And you know what we had, we're just going to sell our own coffee as well. Again, Starbucks, I appreciate your sensitivity. Y'all got changed for 20? No, it's fine. Well down, Starbucks, we appreciate it. But moving on. Here's something I didn't know. Apparently, when we take a dump in New York, it stinks, it stinks in Alabama. Folks in Alabama aren't exactly thrilled over a new export from New York. They're calling it the poop train. It's a big train carrying New York's human waste.

Now this is no joke for months now, for two months, the train has been parked next to a little league baseball field in the tiny town of Parrish. And people say the train smells exactly how you would expect it to smell. I thought we had th th I thought I was actually hitting animals or dead animals with the lawnmowers. Yo, local news should have to pay black people royalties for their interviews because they take every single story to the next level. Do you hear what he just said? He was just like, man, I thought I was hidden animals with my lawnmower. You know, like I always do you know how it is that it it it it it that it that it, and you're like, ah, god damn a cat, rar-drr-oh, oh, god-dam, a squirrel.

Like, what grass are you cutting? I will say, though, as someone who lives in New York, I felt so bad when I heard that our poop is being exported down south. It's a horrible thing. Now, want to tweet Alabama and be like, y'all guys I just had Indian, watch out man. It's my bad, like. And by the way, by the way, if that train is coming from New York, I bet you there's one confused tourist who actually Dantley got on it, you know? Just like by mistake, there's one tourist But let's move on through some major international news. For decades, North Korea has been one of the world's biggest challenges. A rogue nation armed with nuclear weapons. In fact,

when Barack Obama handed off the presidency to Donald Trump, he told him that North Korea would be the biggest problem that he would face. Now, of course, back then, Obama didn't know that Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels, but that's not his fault. Anyway, just a couple of months ago people feared that nuclear war was on the horizon. But now North and South Korea could be on the brink of a major breakthrough. North and South Korea could be preparing to announce a permanent end to the Korean war after a 65-year ceasefire. President Trump giving his blessing to a new round of peace talks between North and South

Korea. They've been very generous that without us and without me in particular, I guess. You would have to say that they wouldn't be discussing anything, including the Olympics, it would have been a failure and said it was a great success. You know, you know, I know our first instinct is to hate, and it's also weird that Trump makes it all about himself, but, but Trump is right. If it wasn't for his craziness, North Korea would have never come to the table.

You know, that's what he did. Trump is like the near-death experience that makes people forget why they were fighting in the first place. That's who he is. And we also learned, we just learned in fact, that the Trump administration has been sliding into Kim Jong's DMs. Stunning news tonight, word that CIA director Mike Pompeo secretly met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un just a few weeks ago. Just yesterday, the White House said it doesn't comment on the CIA director's travel.

The president writing, meeting went very smoothly and a good relationship was formed. Wow, this is big news. Things are really changing between the US and North Korea. CIA chief Mike Pompeo secretly met with Kim Jong-un, which is a big deal because it's been almost 18 years since North Korea's leader met with a high-level American. Not high, high level, okay? Like the last time this type of meeting happened, it was the year 2000. You realize back then, Kim Jong-un hadn't even adopted his signature hairstyle yet.

He was still rocking the Rachel. This is way back. And I will say, in this whole story, in this whole story, it's so funny to see how excited President Trump is about finally getting something right. Because, as you heard, everyone who works for Trump was trying to keep the Kim Jong-un meeting under wraps. But Trump being Trump, just couldn't keep it to himself. He tweeted about it, and then just watching the way Trump couldn't hold it in is probably the funniest thing I've seen all day. Who in the administration has talked with North Korea directly, sir? Has you been speaking directly with him? Yes. He was trying so hard.

He was trying so hard, but he couldn't help you. You could see he was like, be presidential, be presidential. Yes. Yes, we talked to him. Yes, we talked to him. 3 p.m. on Tuesday in a secret location. No, I'm sorry. Can we just play that one more time? Can we play one time?

Who in the administration has talked with North Korea directly, sir? Has he was speaking directly with him? Oh man, it almost gets better the more you watch it. Because like this is funny, the whole point of a secret meeting is that you're not supposed to tell anyone. If you're in the CIA, you must dread sharing information with Donald Trump. Be like, sir, I finished my secret mission. Trump is like, okay, hold on. You guys won't believe who's here.

It's Jason Bourne, Jason Bourne is here everybody. Okay, where were we? Sorry about that. We'll be right back. Have you ever been watching the news and thought to yourself, wow, the Supreme Court sure does suck? We made a podcast about that. We sure did. There is a super majority of conservative maniacs on the Supreme Court right now, really doing some damage. I'm Michael. I'm Riannan. And I'm Peter.

Our podcast, 5-4 is about all of this. Every week we dissect and analyze a different ruling that has made our country a little worse, a little more cruel. And you would not believe how many of them there are. Check out five to four. That's the number five, dash the number four, wherever you listen to podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a best-selling author and vice chair of the Clinton Foundation whose latest book is called, she persisted around the world, 13 women who changed history. Please welcome, Chelsea Clinton. Thank you.

Thank you, Trevor. Welcome. Thank you. From raw water to you. Have you ever drank, raw water? No. All right. Thank you.

Thank you, Trevor. Welcome. Thank you. Welcome. Welcome, from raw water to you. Have you ever drank, no. No, I shouldn't. No one should. No one should.

Yeah, as a health, as you have a master's in health, don't you? In public health, yes. Public health, yes. You don't, you wouldn't drink it. No. Not even like a little bit? No, and I also vaccinate my children. Oh, wow. you, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. the th. the th. the the the th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the, you, you the, you the, you on island sinker. It's called science. Well it's raw water in here, enjoy.

Oh, well, you can have mine too. No, welcome, welcome to the show. Thank you. I'm thrilled to be here. Before we get into the book, which is really fun and inspiring, I just want to take a moment to ask you about the relationship you had with former First Lady Barbara Bush.......... I, 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, 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, and, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the tooomorrow, the too, too, beautiful terms, but your family had a direct relationship with the Bush's. Are there any memories or ideas that you have of Barbara Bush that specifically make you remember her fondly?

Well, thank you, Trevor. Mrs. Bush was always incredibly kind to me, even when we were moving into the White House. Even though my father had defeated her husband in the 92 election, she could not have been more warm to me. And when we saw them then eight years later, after her son had won the election, she was similarly so so warm and not in any way kind of gloating. She was so dignified and not in a cold or austere way. And she was as funny as everyone is saying she is.

But what I remember the most is how fondly everyone in the White House spoke about her. The butlers, the ushers, the housekeepers, the florists, the historians. Right. Just how in the four years that she had lived there, she left everyone who worked with her, the real impression that they all had mattered to her and that wouldn't have been their impression if it hadn't been true. Right, it's an interesting dynamic the relationship between a new first family and the old and that's that's a dynamic that's a And that's a dynamic that in many ways feels frayed under this presidency right now.

What is interesting though is I've noticed that repeatedly online, you've come to the aid or the defense of either President Obama's daughters, or President Trump's son Baron, when people have gone after him. Why do you think that's so important for people to try and observe is keeping the kids out of the frame? For a few reasons. One, I think it's just common decency to respect a child's privacy.

And I would hope that any of us in any situation would stand up against bullying of children. I mean, hopefully bullying of children is particularly reprehensible. And it's never okay. I I I I I I I I I I I I I thak thak thak thak thak thak thak thu thu thu 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thu th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi theeeeeeei theiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii thi thi threhensible and it's never okay. I also think because, you know, the children of the people who run for public office and certainly those who win the presidency, you know, we didn't make that choice. Right. And I don't think it's fair to reflect whatever our opinions are of President Trump, and probably you know my opinions of President Trump, on to his son Baron.

I think that is unfair and inappropriate, in the same way that I feel that's true for Sasha Mali Obama and true for anyone who is a child anywhere, including in the White House. You have a passion for children that exudes through a lot of your work. This book is no different. She persisted around the world. The subsequent book, Following, she persisted.

It's a story of 13 women who changed history. And it's really illustrated beautifully. It's stories about women who've changed the world. It seems like a story that everyone should know about every woman, and yet it feels like it's an important story that we need to keep telling. Oh, I completely agree. Clearly I agree.

I wrote the book. That we need to celebrate and amplify the stories of women who have made our world healthier, more equitable, more just, have brought kind of more beauty into the world. And I don't think we know enough of those stories and I quote Sally Ride in she persisted the first book when she said, you know, it's hard to imagine what you can't see. And I want every young reader who reads my books to be able to to see themselves in these stories, particularly the girls. And I want the boys to look around at their

girl classmates, their sisters, and think, wow, they can and should do whatever they want to do. And when you see some of the women in the book, some of these women who changed history, why did you pick them in particular, like you have Marie Curie, for instance, someone who's changed history, but like just on her story, why did you feel that she inspired you to tell her story? Well, I have always loved science, and I remember learning about her story as a little girl, as the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and then as I got older, learning learning, thiiiiiii, to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the to the thi, their, thi, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, their, their, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thoomomomomomomomom.................. And, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, their, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thee, thea. And, toea. And, thea. And, thea. And, someone, thea. And, thr. And, thin, thin, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and then as I got older learning all that she had to do she had to leave her home country of Poland to be able to get the education she wanted she even kind of a hundred years ago spoke about how she had to work twice as hard as the men in her classes to be recognized even half as much and so I just I wanted to celebrate and share her story to inspire all the little little would be...... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. I the thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I the thi. I the, tho. I the the to the their their their their their their their their their their. I their. I their, their, their, their, their, their. I their.

I'm to to to to to to to to to their their the, I wanted to celebrate and share her story to inspire all the little, you know, would-be scientists out there.

Do you think there's a part of you that wrote the book for yourself and your daughter at the same time? Well, I haven't thought about that. I know, Trevor, you've written a book. I think once we have these ideas in our heads and our hearts, sometimes we just feel called called called to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi... thi. throooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, th onto the page. And that was certainly true for me. I think being a parent of a daughter and a son, though made this particularly important to me. It's a fun book. It's beautiful illustrations that I think in a lightweight touch

on a topic that's really full of gravity. So thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. She persisted around the world is available now. Chelsea Tinson, everybody.
