Starting point is 00:00:34 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. August 13, 2019. From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York, this is the Daily Showysh everybody, I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for tuning it. Thank you
Starting point is 00:01:35 for coming out. So amazing. Our guest tonight is one of Nigeria's biggest artists who is now taken the world by Storm. Benaboy is here everybody. So amazing. Our guest tonight is one of Nigeria's biggest artists who is now taking the world by Storm. Burner Boy is here, everybody. On the show, it's going to be performing so much fun. Also on tonight's show, CNN is starting a fight club. Endangered Species are back in danger, and we tell you how to get a free vacation from Fox News. So let's catch up on today's headlines. We begin tonight with some big news for the animal kingdom.
Starting point is 00:02:07 The Trump administration moved to make the most sweeping changes in decades to how the Endangered Species Act is in force. The overhaul would weaken a number of protections and allow the government to consider the price tag for saving a species. Today some 1,600 species are protected by the Act. More than 40 species in this country have recovered under the Act's protection, including that soaring symbol of American might. Yep, that's right. The Trump administration say they want to start taking cost
Starting point is 00:02:37 into account when deciding whether or not to protect an endangered species, which seems like a pretty short-sighted point of view, all right? Because you can always make more money. What you can't do is bring a grizzly bear back from extinction. The best you can do is probably convince some polar bears to die there fur brown. That's pretty much it. And that's problematic. That's problematic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:58 You know, the polar bears will be like, dude. I don't know, you sure this isn't this is is is is's racist. I don't know, man. I'm not comfortable with this. You know, I don't want to get canceled. I've got that Coke endorsement. I don't want to lose this. I just, I don't want to lose this. Now, many critics of this plan are pointing out that the endangered species act has been instrumental examples is the American bald eagle. But I think that's part of the problem. That eagle is probably why Trump is changing
Starting point is 00:03:28 the law. Because don't forget it was that bald eagle that attacked Donald Trump. Don't never forget that moment. Yeah. Don't forget Donald Trump was minding his own business and and he was attacked by the eagle that lives in his office. He was just like, you scared this shit out of me, now I'm going to build a highway through your habitat. So they're saying it's all about the cost. It's about how much the animal costs to keep alive, I guess. So I guess if this law goes into effect, animals are going to have to go on a shark in shark in shark in shark in shark and shark and shark and shark and shark and shark and shark to go on shark to go on shark to go on shark to go on shark to go on shark to go on shark to go on shark to go on shark to go on shark to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the animals are going to have to go on shark tank to pitch why they should stay alive. I'll just be like, hi, I'm an ant eater, and today I'm offering you some low-cost organic pest control.
Starting point is 00:04:11 The only way to get Trump to protect these habitats is going to be to say it helps protect species that he likes. You know? Like the flannel moth caterpillar that inspired his hair. That's probably th th. T th He'd be like, that's a very handsome snake, we've got to protect it. All right, moving on. CNN anchor, Chris Cuomo. You might know him for always breaking the news. But if you talk trash to him in the streets, the only thing that might end up breaking is your face. CNN, standing by host Chris Cuomo after a video when viral showing the anchor threatening a heckler. This video was taken during a heated exchange with an unidentified man who called Cuomo
Starting point is 00:04:49 Frito, which Cuomo insists is a racist slur toward Italians. You're telling you, it's a fucking insult to your people. It's an insult to you people. It's like the end word for us. Wow. You're gonna have a fucking do What, what are you gonna do about it? I'll fucking ruin you shit. I'll fucking throw you down these stairs like a fucking pump. Why, so you can't do it that?
Starting point is 00:05:10 You don't wanna take a swing thin. Take a swing thin. Take a fucking hand. Watch your hands. I'm not gonna scratch. Yo Chris Cuomo doesn't doesn't doesn't, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so doesn't mess around. Now I see why CNN makes people fight in separate boxes. That's just workplace safety. Yeah, Como's like, if I wasn't in this box, I'd smash your face!
Starting point is 00:05:33 And look, Cuomo was clearly pissed off because he feels like when this guy called him Fredo, it's a negative Italian stereotype. All right? What's funny to me, though, was that his reaction that he chose also seemed like a negative Italian stereotype... thiiiiii. thi. that, to to to to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, 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 just that's just, that's just, that's that's that's that's that's, that's that's that's, that's, that's that's, that's to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, toa, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toa. toa, toa, thi. toa, toa, that's just just just just just just just just work. toa, to's funny to me though was that his reaction that he chose also seemed like a negative Italian stereotype. He's like, what you say? I'll wrec your shit and throw you down these stares, big man. You want to talk to me? You want to talk to me? I'll fucking break you! Not all man. So since this video went viral, there's a big conversation now over whether the word
Starting point is 00:06:09 Fredo is a slur. Now, someone's saying it's a reference to the dumb brother in the godfather, okay? Because like, you know, Cuomo has his brother and then he's like the dumber one who's in the news and in entertainment. But someone's saying it's also an ethnic slur. In fact, Cuomo himself claimed it's like calling an Italian person, 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 thion. thion. the the. the is the is the is the is the. the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thean. thean. theiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. It's the. It's the. the But someone's saying it's also an ethnic slur. In fact, Cuomo himself claimed it's like calling an Italian person the N-word. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:30 So to find out if that's true, we're joined by Roywood Jr. everybody. So, Roy, is calling an Italian Fredo the theoe the same as calling a black person the n-word? Right-Wiore, Jr. everyone. Thank you so much, Roy. In other news, in other news, have you ever been to a stranger's house and seen things in their house that make you go like, wow, I would really get along with this person?

Yeah, this story is the complete opposite. House hunters in Michigan surprised to say the least, when the furnished home they were looking at had KKKKParifenia on its walls.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Rina and Robert Mathis were looking at the charming, when they noticed something disturbing. theira.T.T.T.T.T. Tea. Tea. Tea. Tea. Tea. Tea. Tea. Teck.

Wow, theanananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananed lot in Holton when they noticed something disturbing. They didn't know it, but the house belonged to Muskegon police officer, Charles Chuck Anderson. It was a full wing conferted flag, so I'm like, I'm not liking this. It's one plaque on the wall. So I walk over to the wall and I read the plaque and they said, KKK application. So I was like like I'm done. I say I want to get out of here right now. Yo, you know what I love about black people? They do not indulge danger. That guy saw a Confederate flag. Then the clan and he was like, baby,
Starting point is 00:07:53 we're out. We are out. Out of here. We're not stay. We're not stay. The Uber's on the way, even though we drove ourselves. We got to get out like in that movie scream. Come, we're th th the th th th the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. 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. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the to to theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thee the the though we drove ourselves. We got to get out, like in that movie, scream, come on, baby. Also, can I just say, I didn't realize that the KKKK had application forms? I learned something new. I just thought they saw someone on the street saying the N-word and they were like, you start Monday, good job, buddy. Because you realize if the KKKKKKK had application forms, it forms, it forms, it, it, it th, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it means, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's the the the the the the the the the the, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, 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 KKK had application forms, it means the chances are someone got denied. But then it makes you wonder, what reason would the KKK give for denying somebody from joining the organization?
Starting point is 00:08:32 This guy's looking at the application, like, well, everything looks great over here. A favorite song? F.S. in Paris. Okay, yeah. I wish they would go to Paris. I agree with that. You're, oh wait, hold on. No, it says that's a hip-hop song. I'm sorry, it's not going to work. It's not going to work. Now, some people are saying that the owner having a Confederate flag and clan memorabilia on his walls doesn't mean that he's a fan. Maybe he's just a thin, no one's got a poster of Hurricane Katrina in their living room. That's just not a thing. So for more on this, we're joined once again by Roy Wood Jr. everybody.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Roy, help me out here. Is having a framed clan application on your wall something a casual history buff might do? Thank you so much, right? All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's move on to our top story. In the wake, in the wake of the mass shooting in El Paso and the arrests of domestic terrorists since then, everyone has been talking about the threat of white supremacy in the United States. In fact, even President Trump admits that it's a major problem, which is a pretty big deal. Because that would be like if Hobbs and Shaw spoke out against speeding. Jason State then came out like, you know what's cooler than driving fast? Going 55 and buckling your safety bell in it.
Starting point is 00:10:02 But even though most people in America have acknowledged the threat, there is one person who still isn't convinced. Fox News anchor and concerned face drawn onto a balloon, Tucker Carlson. The whole thing is a lie. If you were to assemble a list, a hierarchy of concerns of problems this country faces. Where would white supremacy be on the list? Right up there with Russia, probably. It's actually not a real problem in America. The combined membership of every white supremacist organization in this country, were they able to fit inside a college football stadium? White supremacy, that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:10:37 This is a hoax. Just like the Russia hoase. It's a conspiracy theory used to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide to divide 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho.. tho. tho. thean. thean. the the theory. the theory. the the the theo. the the theory. the the the the the the the the the the the theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power. That's exactly what's going on. Wait, what? White supremacists aren't a threat because they can only fill a college football stadium? My man, those stadiums hold 100,000 people. We shouldn't have enough white supremacists to fill a golf cart. That's how many we should have. We're talking about the numbers here.
Starting point is 00:11:03 How many? How many of them are there? White supremacists are like babies on a plane. Even one is enough to ruin your day. And you do notice, you do notice that Tucker Carson only gives white terrorists this pass. Like after 9-11 he wasn't like, Al-Qaeda, please. What was it? 19 people? Call me when they can sell out a Knicks game, okay?
Starting point is 00:11:25 Uh-huh. Oh, and it's especially interesting that Tucker doesn't think white supremacists are a real threat, especially when you look at all the other threats that he talks about on his show. wind up with a country in which feminists do science. A country where you're afraid to touch other people is a country we don't want to live in. The way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country. Kneeling during our national anthem,
Starting point is 00:11:53 the basic symbol of our country, it's an attack on the United States. Almost every nation on earth has fallen under the oak of tyranny, the metric system. The metric system is a threat to America, but white supremacy is a hoax. Yo, I feel like Tucker Carson would tell the lamest campfire stories of all time. Just be like, and then, she heard a scratching sound coming from inside the door. And when she turned around, it was centimeters. Now, apparently soft-pedaling white supremacy didn't go over well with everybody. In fact, three big advertisers pulled out of Tucker Carson's show after he said that. And, something tells me his bosses at Fox News didn't like what he said.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Because the very next day, he made a surprise announcement at the end of his show. That's it for us tonight. Tune in every night. 8 p.m. to the show that is the sworn enemy of lying pomposity and smugness and group think. By the way, I am taking several days off, headed to the wilderness to fish with my son catch some brook trout. Politics is important. Fishing with your son sometimes more important so I'm doing it. Okay. Well that timing seems suspicious but who knows maybe lots of people leave for fishing vacations on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. I mean you never know when the fish are going to start biting. You never know.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I do feel bad for Tucker's son though because he probably knows what's up, right? Tucker calls and comes home, he's like, pack it out, son, we're going fishing. It's like, in the middle of the week? Wait, did you say something racist on TV again, Dad? Well, I'll get the tackle box. And I know some people will say, come on, Trevor, then took a surprise vacation doesn't mean these two things are related. Okay, maybe not, but it does seem to happen a lot over at Fox.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Sudden vacation announcements have been a go-to-move for Trump TV. Last March, Laura Ingram announced a vacation after coming under fire for mocking Parkland survivor David Hogg. Sean Hannity went on vacation after advertisers fled over his promotion of a conspiracy theory that exploited the death of DNC staffer Seth Rich. Jesse Waters took time off after criticism over a lewd comment about Ivanka Trump. If you go in like hard enough, they drop the ball. It's perfect. Very good.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I'm glad he didn't run him over. Also I'm going to be taking a vacation with my family, so I'm not going to be here tom here here here here here here here here here hea here to be here to be here to be here to be here to be here to be here to be here to be here to be here to be here to be here to be here 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 not going to be here tomorrow and Friday about be back on Monday, so trying to miss me too much. Saturday, also. My favorite part is how all the Fox hosts try to casually slip it into random conversation, you know? You're sort of like how you used to buy condoms in high school. She'd be like, yeah, let me get a bag of the Dorotis and also a pack of the condoms, he's got out of the pack of condoms. From the cashier's like, Jerry, bring me over a box of condoms for the kid, please. I'm going to say extra small. So almost everyone on Fox has had to go on a surprise vacation after saying something controversial.
Starting point is 00:15:00 But there's one vacation on Fox that is the greatest of all time. Bill O'Reilly took what he insisted was to to to say to say the to say to say the to say the to say to say the thine the the thine the thine the thus is the thus is the thus is a the thus is a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thiol- th. A to to to to to to to to to to to th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A thi. A thi. A thi. A thi. A the the the the the the the the the thin the the the the thin the the the thin thin the the thin th th th vacation on Fox that is the greatest of all time. Bill O'Reilly took what he insisted was a pre-planned vacation. After revelations, he had settled multiple sexual harassment allegations. Finally, time to fact, the tip of the day, off and around this time of year, I grab some vacation because it's spring and Easter time. Last fall I booked a trip where it is. I'll have a full report when I return. And he never returned. It doesn't sound like a guy going on vacation. It sounds like a guy who got whacked by the mob. Yeah, let's just say O'Reilly's going on a permanent vacation. It sounds like a guy who got whacked by the mob. Yeah, let's just say O'Reilly's gonna be going on a permanent vacation. I'm Chris Cuomo, thanks for watching CNN.
Starting point is 00:15:49 I also feel really bad for that one Fox viewer who's still waiting for O'Reilly to return. Because you know there's one person watching TV like, Bill's gonna have so many great stories when he finally comes back. I bet you weren't too much to pay you. We'll go right back. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am 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?
Starting point is 00:16:36 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 Zinc show. My guest is a reporting artist and songwriter from Nigeria whose new album is called African Giant. Please welcome, Burnaboy. Nigeria in the house. Welcome to the show, my friend.
Starting point is 00:17:26 How far now? I want a dinner. Yeah. So many accolades have happened in your life over the past year, your 18 minutes I would say. Hold on, I don't want to cut you off. I have to tell this one, yeah? Oh, here we go. This guy is like a legend because I'm from Nigeria and like I used to spend a lot of time in South Africa right and this
Starting point is 00:17:48 must have been 2014 right I went on this boat thing in Cape Town with some girl and yeah and then we was going in and then you must have been coming out from some place I don't know and then it's like a big crowd starts going, I thought, Trevor, Trevor, you know? And then the girl I'm with, she's like, that's what I know, can I go take a bit? I'm like, will you stay put? You know, so after that, immediately we got done from that, we went back and we started watching the whole, everything. Oh man, I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:18:27 That's how I, you know, so. I appreciate that. Most people would have been like, and that's when I started hating you, but I mean, that's, no, that's a pretty dumb story. I'm, thank you very much for that. But let's talk about that. You've also spent time traveling around the world. You know, for those who don't know you, they are definitely bound to know you. Burner Boy's music has been blowing up. BET's best international act.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Congratulations on that. What do you think it is about Nigerian music and African music in particular that's blowing up all over the world right now? And it's just, the truth always just circles back, you know? It's like, things always circle back to where they started from. You know, music as a whole started from Africa. You know, so it's always gonna circle back home, you know? You think it's just gonna come back around the vibe, the rhythm. It's like, it might leave again, but it's always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always going to circle back home because like when everything else feels everybody runs back home.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Everyone started sampling the sound as well. You know you've got you've got Drake who sampled the sound. You know you've got you've got so many huge artists who sample the sound and now because of that like when you hear songs in the club you hear like Nigerian music you hear African music I've been fascinated by how it's not even, like, call it, it's just music, which it is. You have a specific title for it though, you call it Afrofusion. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:19:54 What does Afrofusion mean for your music? It's like a pizza, right? It's like a pizza, right? And then imagine a pizza, it's like what's the main thing in the pizza that every pizza needs? It's the flour. Right, okay, the dough, the dough, the bass. All right, cool.

You can make a lot of money from, let me get one hip-hop pepperoni over there. Yeah, and then like what it should be
Starting point is 00:20:50 is like a pepperoni that's really hot. And then like when people eat it, then they start rapping. It's like, oh, my god, ga, it's a set up. That makes a lot of money. You are one of the artists who is featured on the Lion King soundtrack with Beyonce. You are also one of the few African artists who got to perform at Coachella. And that's interesting because that's what inspired the name of this album, African Giant. Tell me how that came about. Yeah, so basically I'm on on a toilet seat.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I love how every single one of your story starts with where you are. I love this. You have to be specific. Yeah, I was on a boat. I was on a toilet seat. I always remember, you know, so basically I'm on a toilet seat. And then my mom, my, we're doing Coachella and blah blah blah blah. I'm like oh yeah that's that's nice. So I get off and then I you know go on the gram.
