Wow. Oh, we're back. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it to the show. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight was the star of Spider-Man into the Spidevers. And now he plays Ray Kwan in Hulu's new Wu-Tang series. everybody. Very fun to have the show. Also on tonight's show, Popeyes is running out of chicken.

God has abandoned the Pope and Hurricane Dorian braces for President Trump. So let's catch up on today's headlines. Let's begin with news out of the Vatican where the Pope almost didn't show up for his weekly address, but it turns out he had a good excuse. A rescue at the Vatican after Pope Francis gets stuck in an elevator for 25 minutes, the incident causing the Pope to arrive late for his weekly address in St. Peter's Square on Sunday.

He told the crowd there was an electrical problem at the Vatican that trapped him in the elevator. The Pope then asked for a round of applause for the firefighters who were kind enough to rescue him. Yeah, that's right. The Pope was trapped in an elevator and the firefighters had to come and rescue him. And it's a good thing I wasn't one of those firefighters because I would have been childish. I would have opened the doors like, where's your god now? It's actually weird because like you don't actually think about the Pope using elevators, you know? It's like a normal thing to th. th. th. th. th. the the to to the to to to the to to to to be weird, 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 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the f. f. think about the Pope using elevators you know it's like a normal thing to do I almost imagine if like does he have elevator jokes he would have fun ones right like he just gets in his like can you hit heaven please ha ha ha ha just kidding eight I'm going to eight so the

Pope got stuck in an elevator and don't worry about him he was fine it turns out he uses that hat to store snacks in other international news the pro-demococococococococococococococococococococococococ. the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th........ the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th....................... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. t. t. te. te. te. to. to. t. th. th. th. th uses that hat to store snacks. In other international news, the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong are now entering week 14. And because China is not backing down, the protests only getting more intense. Pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong turned violent as police and demonstrators clash in the streets. Police arrested protesters who disrupted the subway system by blocking train doors

and hundreds of students at the subway system by blocking train doors and hundreds of students at the Chinese University of Hong Kong held a rally to demand political reform. Saturday was more violent with protesters assaulting government headquarters. They threw bricks and fire bombs. Police fired back with tear gas and water cannons tinted with blue dye to ID people. God damn, China does not mess around. Because I mean it's one thing to arrest people at a protest. It's another thing to mock them with blue dye so you can arrest them later.

Like that's really bad news for the protesters. And if you're in the touring company of the Blue Man Group. You know, it's just like, oh, way, I'm not a protest. I'm in the Blue Man group. They're like, that's even worse. That's even worse. That's even worse. But you know what? Kudos to these protesters, man.

They are not giving up. They believe in what they believe in. And they're even responding to repress gas with water canisters. They put the tear gas into the can and look, this is like shakes it up and then when the guy opens it up, there's no more tear gas. Look at this, look at this, look at this, it comes out and it's like tear gas, God. It's like a magic trick. Yeah. This is why you should pay attention in chemistry class. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. th. th. thirty. thirty. thirty. thirty. thirty. their. their. thi. their. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. And, their. And, their. And, their. And, their. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, their, couldn't even get their volcano to smoke. And finally, as America continues to struggle with escalating gun violence, it doesn't seem like lawmakers are going to reach a solution any time soon.

But there's one man in St. Louis who's come up with a completely new idea for dealing with gun violence. Just don't give a shit. A man with nerves of steel kept his cool while coming face to face with suspects in an armed robbery watches everybody in the St. Louis bar gets on the floor when the robbers come in except the one man taking a chug of his drink. But he's not done. He then goes on to light a cigarette while one of the suspects waived a gun near his face. On top of the man's calm demeanor. he also refused the suspect's demands, kept his cell phone and cash while everybody else in the bar got robbed.

Wow. Wow. That dude just opted out of a robbery. I didn't even know you could do that. He was just like, no, unsubscribe. I don't want to be a part of this. I'll tell you one thing. That's not one of those hipster bars wheres the bars thops thops tha bars tha that's an authentic bar right there.

This is not one of those hipster bars where people go to look cool. No, this is a bar where men go to drink and wait for death. And you might be thinking, those robbers had guns, why didn't they just do something? Why didn't they take your stuff? I'll tell you why face and their response is to light a cigarette, you're screwed. That's like the scariest shit somebody can do you, like freeze and the person's like, you're pointing that shit at me. It's like a Quentin Tarantino movie, like someone's going to chop off my balls. That's what's about to happen, right?

Seriously, you know he doesn't care, because smoking is illegal indoors. And what was on that phone? I bet you there's a phone number or something. He's like, whoa, my wife doesn't need to see this. Ah, ah, give me back my phone. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. to. The football season is about to begin, and wearing white is no longer okay in America. Yes, people take that shit seriously out here.

Even the Klan is putting on their pumpkin spice hoods. Like you can't be a master race until you master fashion. Ain't that right, boys? Woo! But unfortunately, September also means hurricane, for Hurricane Dorian, the devastating images already coming in, homes wiped away. Guests reaching more than 220 miles an hour. Water is seen lapping the windows of this home. The homeowner says the water reached his kitchen windows 20 feet off the ground.

This woman nervously watched as floodwaters reached the second story of her home. Swim! Watch it as floodwaters reached the second story of her home. Our team witnessed people practically swept away. The punishing conditions were amplified when the storm stalled directly over Grand Bahama, crawling across the island at just one mile per hour. That's right. The Bahamas has just been hit with one of the worst hurricanes ever recorded. And with it being reported that 13,000 homes may have been destroyed, this island nation is going to need as much help as they can get.

So please donate if you can. Everybody's going to need it. And you know, whenever I see this, I always ask myself, I go, like, why do hurricanes always destroy the most beautiful places on earth? Like, I wish hurricanes hit places we actually wanted to rebuild. You know, like why doesn't the hurricane hit LaGuardia airport? Huh? Yeah, that would be great.

Then we could start over from scratch and fix that shithole. Anyway, the chances are the hurricane tockles. Yeah, well, the chance is a hurricane. theyrhythm too. there. So Hurricane Dorian has slammed into the Bahamas and now it is headed towards the US. The good news is President Trump has a lot of experience handling hurricanes of this magnitude. The bad news is he doesn't remember any of his experience. The president appeared baffled by the storm's intensity. I'm not sure that I've ever even heard of the

Category 5 I knew it existed. Even though there have been four category five hurricanes since he's been in office. It's not the first time he's claimed surprise about the common term. Category five. Never heard about category fives before. Category five is big stuff. Category five. Nobody's ever heard of a five hitting land. It actually touched down as a category five. People have never seen anything like that. I never even knew a category five existed. Okay, this is just weird, man. Every time a category five storm comes,

Trump acts like it's never happened before. It must be so strange working for Donald Trump. Can you imagine what it's like people is coming in? Mr. President, the hurricane is a Category 5. Wow, Category 5, that's never happened before. No, sir, they happen all the time. What does? The Category 5?

Wow, that's never happened before. And I don't know if Trump was having a slow weekend, or if the barometric pressure from the storm did something to his brain, because not only did he forget how big the storm was, but he forgot where it was going. The president also misstated the storm's possible trajectory. Alabama could even be in for at least some very strong winds and something more than that it could be. So for Alabama, just please be careful also.

Not long after that, the National Weather Service corrected the President, saying Alabama will not see any impacts from Dorian. Yeah. Trump had to be corrected by the National Weather Service. And I know we're used to it by now, but it still amazes me how often the government has to tell you not to pay attention to the president. Yeah tr Trump tr tr. Yeah the tr. Yeah the tr. Yeah tr. Yeah. Yeah, tr. Yeah, the tru the tru, tru, the tru, th. Yeah, tru, th. th. th. th. tru, true, true, th. th. thi, 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, thean, ttttttean, tean, tean, tean, tean, tean, th thean, thean, thean, the. the thean, to it by now, but it still amazes me how often the government has to tell you not to pay attention to the president. Yeah, Trump is like your friend who you're driving home from a wisdom tooth surgery.

He's all drugged up, yelling crazy shit out the window like, there's a dragon in the next car! It's like, no, Donald, that's just a hipster with a vapea. And I feel bad for anyone thua that thua thua thua thua thuu an thu an thu an thu………………………………………………………………………………………………a, that's that's, that's, that's, thi. that's, that's thi. tr-a, thi. that's that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, th. true. true. true. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. Trump. true. true. true. Trump. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. Trump. true. Trump. Trump is true. Trump is imagine if people in Alabama heard Trump and they took it seriously? People were probably saying things that they wouldn't normally say because they think a hurricane is coming for them. You can't take that shit back, huh? There's probably one family who's loading up the car. Quick kids, get the Xbox, let's go. It's like, what about grandma? Grandma? to get her out of here. What? No hurricane? All right, grandma, I'm sorry about that. So wherever it's headed, this hurricane is serious business. But unfortunately, serious business is not Donald Trump's specialty.

While Hurricane Dorian was hitting, the Bahamas, President Trump was hitting the links. On Monday, the president played golf at his Trump national golf club in Virginia. He'd say he did receive hourly briefings on the storm. We should remind you, President Trump had canceled a diplomatic trip to Poland sent to mark the 80th anniversary of the beginning of World War II in order, his aid said, to better monitor the storm. Yep. Many people were outraged when they found out the president went golfing as a hurricane

barrel down on the East coast of the United States. But in Trump's defense, golf is a thuuuuuuuuuuuffiuiuffiuiuffiuiuiuff is a great thiuiuiuiuiuiuiu. thiu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. 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 tov. tov. tov. tov. tov. tov. tov. tov. tov. th. tov. th. tovv. thi. thi. the. the. the the. the the the teu. teu. the teu. toeu. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. the east coast of the United States. But in Trump's defense, golf is a great way to monitor a hurricane. Yeah, you just like, I think it's coming. I think it's coming. Is it? You're just like, let me see? Oh, that went way off. Yeah, that's not me. The hurricane's close.

So when it comes to hurricanes, President Trump doesn't know where they're they their not even really paying attention. Luckily, he does have a way to stop them. As Dorian Shurne, so are ideas about how to stop hurricanes in their tracks. Why? This report in Axios that President suggested on multiple occasions that national security officials explored disrupting the storms by dropping a nuke right into the middle of them. Now during a recent White House briefing, Axias quotes the president saying, I got it, I got it, why don't we nuke them? They start forming off the coast of Africa as they're moving across the Atlantic.

We drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that? Well, the briefer reportedly replied, we'll look into it. Something tells me, Trump hears the phrase, we'll look into it about 50 times a day. He just says random shit, like, what if Oreos had the cream on the outside and the cookie on the inside? We'll look into it, sir.

Now, as president, you should know that nuking a hurricane is a terrible idea. All right, not only will it not stop the hurricane, but now you have nuclear fallout being spread by 200 mile an hour winds. The stuff's gonna go everywhere. It's like taking a dump into an open vitamin. It's not a good idea. Not to mention the effects on the ocean.

You've got nuclear waste going, I mean, Osama bin Laden. You're the the the the the stuff the stuff the the stuff the stuff the stuff the the thi thi, not thi, not thi, not thi, not th, not th, not th, not thi, not thi, not thi, thuicicicick, thuicick, thuicuicuick, thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thuic, thuicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicuicuicicuicuicuicuicuicuicuicuicuicu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. Laden's in the ocean. You drop a nuke next thing you know you're dealing with Godzilla bin Laden. You don't know what that shit will do. So look, I know people get mad when they see Trump playing golf as a hurricane is closing in. But after everything we've heard, I think the less involved Trump is with this hurricane the better it is. Think about it. He doesn't know how big it is. He doesn't know where it's going, and he's got some bat-shipped ideas for stopping it. So I say, let the man play his golf. Because if we don't, there's a good chance, Trump ends up nuking Alabama. 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 daily show. It's time for us to catch up on all the biggest stories that we missed over the past two weeks. And to help us do that, we're joined by the one and only Roywood Jr. everybody. There are so many major stories going on right now. There's Brexit that's in chaos. There's the Taliban negotiations. There are fires in the Amazon rainforest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Trevor, all of that other shit's happening. But the only story 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 that's that's that's th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. We're their. We're their. We're 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 thi. th. 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 Taliban negotiations, there are fires in the Amazon rainforest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Trevor, all of that other shit's happening, but the only story that matters right now is the Popeye's chicken sandwich. Whoa, I'm sorry, what?

Yeah, Popeyes, out the blue, introduced a chicken sandwich, a surprise attack on chick-filate. It's like Pearl Harbor, but juicier. Wait, wait, so your big story is that a chicken place started selling chicken? But with bread, Trevor. It's bread. See, I keep forgetting you, you're not from America. I gotta explain this to you. See, Trevor, for decades, America's chicken restaurants have all about it by certain rules. Chick-fil-a-a sells chicken in a sandwich. Popeye sells chicken in a box.

And KFC mixes their shit with cheetos. And yes, that is a real sandwich, which is why you shouldn't let the colonel smoke weed. Okay, I get it. Popeyes has a chicken sandwich. Let's turn to the Amazon Rainforest. No, Trevor, it's not just any sandwich. The Popeye sandwich was so delicious,

not even Popeyes was prepared for it. If you were hoping to sink your teeth into that hot new chicken sandwich from Popeyes, you are out of luck. The crispy chicken sandwich was so popular, it's now out of stock. There's a craze, full on craze. Lines have been so long. Police had to be called to be called to be called to be a the their to be a their to be a their. to be a to be a the to be a th. to be a th. th. th. to be a th. to be a to be a to be a th. to be a to bea. to bea. thi. to bea. to bea. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. toa. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. to be called to deal with the traffic crunch and some people in Florida have been waiting in line over an hour. The burning question is, have you really run out, when will they be back? When can we get our hands on a new batch of them?

See? That's how big this chicken sandwich is. This chicken sandwich is so big. CNN put the chicken full screen and put the hurricane down in the corner. That's right. Put the hurricane out the way. People looking at the hurricane, I don't mean, forget that hurricane, when that sandwich, and if Popeyes, and if Popeyes thinks that they can launch the most delicious chicken sandwich ever and then just run out of stock, well then they have another thing

coming. That viral chicken sandwich war has gotten so crazy a Tennessee man is suing Popeyes for selling out of its new chicken sandwich. Craig Barr says he went to several Popeyes and none of them had his chicken sandwich. He's now suing Popeyes for $5,000 for false advertising and deceptive business practices. Mmm, mmm. Mmm. Mmm. That's right.

America needs more heroes like this man. Fighting the legal battle of our time. He's a modern-day Atticus Fitch. The movie about them will be called To Fry Mockingberg. And if you think, if you think suing Popeyes is extreme, wait until you see how some people are taking the law into their own hands. The chicken sandwich war is turning violent. This morning police are looking for a man who they say pulled a gun on a group of Popeye's employees here in Southeast Houston after the restaurant ran out of the popular chicken sandwiches.

When the manager told them they were sold out, that's when they say he pulled out a pistol demanding a chicken sandwich. After the manager repeated they were out, police say the group took off in a blue SUV. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Actually Newslady one was hurt. Uh, uh, actually, newslady, someone was hurt. That poor man who asked for a chicken sandwich and didn't get Jack. He was hurt. Whoa, whoa, you're defending the guy with the gun?

Yes, Trevor, the good guy with the gun. Right. How, this is the craziest thing ever? How do you even run out of a chicken sandwich? It's a chicken place. They have all the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, right? Can't the manager just throw like a drumstick between some biscuits? That's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard you say. Look, we don't have to agree with this methods. But there's an African proverb, Trevor.

You can't make a chicken sandwich without breaking a few eggs. That's not African. People are angry. So they're rising up. This is about. th. this is this is this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about this is about thi. this is a thiqqqqa, this is this is this is a this is. this is this is. this. this is. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a 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.'s not African. That's not a thing. People are angry. So they're rising up. This is about fighting for equal sandwich access, for all of us. Because you know who had zero problem getting Popeye's chicken sandwich?

The elite, Trevor, this entire time, the 1% has been getting their pristine, uncalous hands on sandwiches that belong in the mouths of the working class. Look at your friend Gail King. She got a sandwich, then posted a pension, just giggling. Just giggling. Jimmy Kimmel? Jimmy Kimmel got a sandwich. You love Jimmy Kimmel. But did Jimmy Kimmel eat the sandwich? No. He gave it to his two-year-old son. Two-year-olds don't even have taste buds yet. That child's whole life has been milk and apple sauce. You don't get a two-year-old with the Popeyes, maybe?

That child's mouth ain't ready for the Popeyes. But at least Jimmy and Gale had the decency to find the sandwich. Duane Wade and Gabrielle Union got their's in the sandwich. Duane Wade and Gabrielle Union got theirs in the mail. Popeye sent them a case of chicken. That's how they live Trevor. And they even have the audacity to post videos chewing in a goddamn faces. I'm tired of it. Tired of the top 1% having 99% of the sandwiches. We need a candidate who will fight for everyone to have a sandwich. We need a sandwich Bernie Sanders, a Bernie sandwich. And that Trevor is why I'm announcing my candidacy for the President of the United States of America.

When I'm elected, when I'm elected, I might not fix schools. I don't know anything about health care, but I can promise all Americans that you will get a chicken sandwich. God bless you. God bless the United States of America and God bless chicken sandwiches. I will see you and the debates. I will see you in the debates. One of the Junior, everyone. We'll be right back. Hey everybody, John Stewart here.

It's actually a series on Hulu. It's my first project on Hulu. So yeah, I'm super excited about the opportunity and he told me he feels like I'm going to win an award for that performance.

It's an interesting story because a lot of people may know a little bit about Rutan. What makes Wutang so important to the story of hip-hop in America?

I think what makes them iconic and why they still have the impact that they have, why they can do what they're doing is simply because they're a group of quote-unquote felons that called themselves Wu Tang in the 90s. That's like an Asian culture and they involved karate and the sounds and they were from the opposite, they were enemies. A lot of them were enemies and the story is them, person, taking one side and one side and bringing us together and made something iconic, you know? It's like separately they were strong, but together they were iconic.

For instance, black on black violence today, you know what I'm saying? But what if we all let's came, what if like oh woo woo I'm this and somebody that brought these guys together and we were like this And we you know held it down just make a giant Wutang of America a giant of America of America? Yeah That sounds don't have like a few million members which is like 10 less than the original Wu Tang, just have like everybody on stage at the same time. You know? Like your story actually starts in the world of hip-hop. You were a dancer, like a, well you still are. Yeah, yeah, I was, but like, it's like an amazing dancer that you used to challenge grown men and beat them and you were like 10, 12. I was 12, I was 12, I was 24 now, so imagine a 12-year-old boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy boy, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, like, like, like, like, like, like, I was, I was, 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, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a, I'm, I'm a, I'm, I was, I was a dance battle in a club at 12 years, you know

How were you in the club? My mother and father took me. I asked permission. I heard about it through my introduction was you got served. So for me, Omarian was the reason I am an entertainer. And beyond that, it's like Chris Brown, I saw him live performing. And then Michael Jackson was like, I was like, oh, I see where the reason. the reason. the reason. the reason. the reason. the reason. the reason. the reason. the 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

And then Michael Jackson was like, I was like, oh, I see where everybody else got it. You know what I mean? So you were amazing in the world of dance.

Then you get into music, right? Then you get into acting. And now you're gonna be releasing a mixtape. Yes, at the, not this month, probably next month. I'm finishing up into the music. I'm not with a label, so I've really just been taking this, putting it here, because I've always wanted to do music. I always wanted to like make videos and like kind of reach that level there.

And actually, I was fighting the acting side when I was younger. You know, all odds were against me, and yeah, it just propelled my career to where I am. In many ways it sounds like the Wu Tang story to me it starts in a place where people don't expect it to it blows up and the next thing you know you're making the culture. Man you just toucest me.
