>> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU HERE AND ON
TELEVISION.
>> JUST ANYWHERE, LIVING.
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS ON "THE DAILY SHOW."
YOU HAVE REALLY MADE THAT SHOW YOUR OWN.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Stephen: YOU DO INCREDIBLE WORK OVER THERE.
THAT'S NOT EASY.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS TIE.
>> DO YOU LIKE IT?
>> Stephen: IT HAS SPARKLES.
>> I TRY TO GO WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
>> Stephen: IT HAS FLAVOR CRYSTALS.
>> I LIKE THAT.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DRUG.
THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE, "YOU WANT THE FLAIMP CRYSTALS, MAN?"
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Stephen: SO HOW ARE YOU?
AFTER SIX YEARS LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES, RIGHT?
>> OH, WOW, YEAH, RIGHT.
>> Stephen: SIX YEARS LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES, THREE
YEARS-- TWO YEARS-- HOW MANY YEARS HOSTING "THE DAILY SHOW"?
>> THREE YEARS NOW AT THE "THE DAILY SHOW."
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: SO HOW DO YOU-- DOWNED AMERICA BETTER NOW?
BECAUSE I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 54 YEARS AND I FEEL LIKE I'M
UNDERSTANDING IT A LITTLE LESS EVERY DAY.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I REALIZE IS I REALIZE NOT UNDERSTANDING
AMERICA RIGHT NOW IS UNDERSTANDING AMERICA RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S BASICALLY HOW IT WORKS.
>> Stephen: OH, CONFUSION.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: THAT IS THE SIEWB DURKS JOUR.
>> YOU BASICALLY GO, "I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF IT," WHICH IS
THE RIGHT WAY OF SEEING IT RIGHT NOW.
THE CONVERSATIONS PEOPLE ARE HAVING, THE ARGUMENTS PEOPLE ARE
HAVING RIGHT NOW.
PEOPLE ARE ARGUING OVER KIDS BEING SEPARATED.
YOU WOULD THINK, THE KID, WE DON'T SEPARATE.
BUT THIS IS A CONTENTIOUS ISSUE.
>> Stephen: ONLY ABOUT 70% OF PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD
IDEA.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: THERE WERE 30% THAT WERE LIKE, "LOCK THEM UP
BETTER.
OF THE.
>> SMALLER.
>> Stephen: KIDS WITH SMALL.
THEY CAN GET RIGHT THROUGH THE CHAIN.
>> SO I DON'T THINK I UNDERSTAND IT MORE.
BUT I DON'T KNOW.
LIKE I SAY, WHEN YOU COME FROM AN AFRICAN NATION, IF YOU COME
FROM, YOU KNOW, A DEVELOPING NATION, LEADERS LIKE TRUMP ARE
TOO FAMILIAR.
SO YOU GO LIKE, "YEAH, IT'S THAT WITH THE VERNEAR OF THE WHITE
HOUSE."
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MEAN "TOO FAMILIAR?"
>>UN, THE POLICY, EXTREME RHETORIC, NOT HAVING A FIRM
GRASP OF ENGLISH.
THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH SO, YOU KNOW,...
>> Stephen: BUT THE TRAPPINGS OF OFFICE KIND OF FOOL US A
LITTLE BIT.
WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT-- LIKE, APARTHEID WAS ONE OF THE MOST
REPRESSIVE REGIMES.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: OF THE 20th CENTURY.
WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHT ON KIDS IN CAGES?
WAS THAT THE SORT OF THING-- WAS THAT DONE?
WERE PEOPLE SEPARATED-- >> KIDS WERE SEPARATED.
BUT THE KIDS IN CAGES THING IS A COMPLETELY NEW IDEA FOR MYSELF
AS WELL, AS A HUMAN BEING.
MY MOM ACTUALLY SAID TO ME WITH THE KIDS IN THE CAGES IN THE
STORIES.
MY MOM WAS LIKE, "SEE, THAT'S WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO
YOU."
I SAID WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
MY PARENTS REMIND ME, MY MOM AND GRANDMOTHER, BECAUSE PEOPLE OF
RACES WEREN'T ALLOWED TO BE MIXED.
MY MOTHER IS A BLACK WOMAN, MY FATHER WAS WHITE.
IF WE WERE CAUGHT TOGETHER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM
MY MOM.
I DIDN'T KNOW THIS GROWING UP.
WHEN THAT STORY CAME OUT SHE SAID, "SEE, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN
YOU.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU."
LIKE "WHY YARE YOU TELLING ME NOW."
IT'S LIKE THREATENING POST.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU.
>> Stephen: WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LOGIC OF TAKING YOU
AWAY FROM YOUR PARENTS?
EVEN THE REPRESSIVE REGIMES SAY THIS IS THE REASON WE'RE DOING
IT.
>> THE LOGIC IS IF YOU BUILD THE COUNTRY AROUND THE NOTION THAT
PEOPLE OF COLOR CANNOT MIX, WHEN THEY MAKE A MIXED THING THAT
DISPROVES YOUR POINT SO YOU NEED REMOVE THE THING THAT PROVES
YOUR POINT SO THEY CAN CARRY ON LIVING IN THEIR FICTITIOUS
WORLD.
>> Stephen: IT SEEMS REMOVING YOU FROM YOUR PARENTS WOULD NOT
BE ENOUGH.
THEY WOULD JUST NEED TO REMOVE FRUPUBLIC VIEW.
>> THEY WOULD TAKE YOU AND GIVE YOU TO SOMEBODY WHO LOOKS LIKE
YOU.
>> Stephen: SO YOU'RE NOT THE PRODUCT OF A MIXED MARRIAGE.
>> THEY GIVE YOU TO SOMEBODY WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU.
IT WORKS.
IF YOU'RE CRAZY, IT WORKS.
IT REALLY DOES.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU DO TO KEEP YOUR SOUL FROM GETTING A
THICK CALLOUS ON IT?
>> WOW.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE EVERY DAY ONE OF THE THINGS IS-- ONE OF
THE GREAT-- ONE OF THE SORT OF RESPONSIBILITIES BUT REALLY THE
PRIVILEGE OF A JOB LIKE THIS-- OR LIKE WHAT YOU DO-- IS EVERY
NIGHT-- EVERYONE HAS A REACTION TO THE NEWS OR WHAT'S HAPPENING
WHAT THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION IS.
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT TGET YOUR FEELINGS OUT
ABOUT IT.
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.
CERTAINLY, THIS WEEK, IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE--
>> YES.
>> Stephen: TO PROPERLY COMPRESS THEIR FEELINGS BECAUSE
THE FIRST FEELING IS GRIEF.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: OFTEN FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEFENDING IT
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE
THAT YOU KNOW WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF SOMETHING YOU FIND SO
HIDEOUS.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.
I THINK WHAT I TRY AND DO IS I SPEND MOST OF MY DAY SCREAMING,
AND THEN OVER TIME, I GET TIRED, AND THEN WHEN I'M TIRED I START
THINKING OF THE JOKES.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> REALLY, YOU START THE DAY AND YOU G, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
AND I'M ANGRY AND THE CHILDRENMENT.
AND I GET TO WORK AND MORE PEOPLE ARE ANGRY AND WE'RE IN
THE WRITERS' ROOM AND WE DO IT TOGETHER-- AAARRRGGGGHHH!
AND THEN WE STOP.
AND THEN WE'RE LOOK HOW DO WE MAKE THE AUDIENCE NOT HAVE THE
FEELING WE JUST HAD.
>> Stephen: YOU TAKE THAT AND TURN IT INTO A JOKE.
>> RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT COMEDYSITIS WAY FOR US TO NUMB
THE PAIN, TO PROCESS WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH WITHOUT FEELING
EVERY SINGLE, YOU KNOW, INKLING OF IT.
>> Stephen: I HAVE ANOTHER WAY TO NUMB THE PAIN.
I HAVE THIS DRINKING GAME I PLAY, OKAY.
WHEN I WATCH THE NEWS I HAVE A DRINKING GAME.
I TURN ON THE NEWS AND I DRINK.
>> I LIKE THAT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: I ALWAYS WIN.
I'VE NEVER LOST.
UNDEFEATED.
WHAT DO YOU-- WHAT DO YOU AS SOMEBODY WHO DID NOT GROW UP
HERE BUT CERTAINLY PAYS ATTENTION TO THE POLITICS OF
AMERICA WHAT, DO YOU MAKE OF OUR TWO-PARTY SYSTEMS?
>> I CAN BE HONEST WITH YOU?
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE FORCES IN AMERICA
RIGHT NOW.
( APPLAUSE ) I'M SHOCKED.
WE DAY PIECE ON THE SHOW, RYE WOOD JR. WENT OUT TO MONTANA TO
COVER A MAYOR IN MONTANA WHO IS A REFUGEE AND LIVED IN AMERICA
AND HE WON OVER PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR TRUMP.
AND EVERYONE WAS LIKE, "HOW DO YOU DO IT?"
AND WE REALIZED IN MONTANA THE MAYORAL RACE ISN'T RUN ALONG
PARTY LINES SO PEOPLE JUST CAMPAIGN ON IDEAS.
WHAT YOU REMOVE THE BLUE AND RED, YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WHO
PEOPLE CHOOSE.
WHEN YOU GO BACK TO THE ELECTION PEOPLE SAY, "I DON'T LIKE
DONALD, BUT THAT'S MY ONLY CHOICE.
WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE?" IT'S WEIRD TO ME THAT AMERICA IS
A COUNTRY WHERE YOU HAVE 16 CEREALS AND TWO POLITICAL
PARTIES.
YOU SHOULD HAVE MORE PARTIES.
>> Stephen: IT'S LIKE CHOOSING TEAMS.
>> IT'S COMPLETELY TEAMS.
>> Stephen: AND PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST THEIR SELF-INTEREST.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE ALSO INVOLVED IN A LOW LEVEL IN
AFRICAN POLITICS RECENTLY BECAUSE YOU WERE IN "BLACK
PANTHER."
>> I WAS INVOLVED IN A HIGH LEVEL, I THINK --
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW THIS AT FIRST.
THERE WAS AN UNCRED TED APPEARANCE IN "BLACK PANTHER."
>> I DON'T LIKE TO BRAG ABOUT THIS, BUT I WAS IN "BLACK
PANTHER," THE SMASH HIT -- >> Stephen: THE NUMBER ONE
MOVIE.
>> YEAH.
AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS, RYAN CRIEWGLER APPROACHED ME AND SAID
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THE SAROF THE MOVIE.
AND I SAID, "NO, I HAVE THE DAILY SHOW.
AND HE SAID DO YOU WANT TO DO WHAT MICHAEL JORDAN DOES.
AND HE GOES I'LL BE THE VOICE OF THE COMPUTER IN THE BACKGROUND--
EVERYONE SPACESHIP YOU SEE IS ME.
PEOPLE DON'T NOTICE -- >> Stephen: THIS IS ACTUALLY
TRUE.
IT WAS A WHILE BEFORE THE MOVIE WAS OUT BEFORE PEOPLE WENT,
"THAT WAS TREVOR NOAH."
I FOUND THIS OUT TODAY-- I'VE SEEN THE MOVIE TWICE-- PLAY
THIS, WE'LL SEE THE CLIP, AND YOU'LL HEAR HIS VOICE.
>> WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.
>> WHERE?
>> DEACTIVATE THE HOLOGRAM.
>> YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THERE NOW!
>> HOW LONG HAVE I GOT?
>> LAST INTEGRITY IS AT 50%.
>> PUT ME BACK IN.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
NOW, NOW, YOU SEE, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT I JUST DID THE
LINES THERE.
BUT I'M EVERYTHING.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: OH, YOU'RE
ACTUALLY IN ONE OF THOSE MOTION CAPTURE SUITS?
>> I'M THE SHIP AS WELL.
THEY GOT ME IN TO PLAY THE SHIP.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU ALSO HAVE A BOOK NOW.
IT'S COMING OUT END OF JULY?
>> I DON'T THINK THIS IS MY BOOK.
I THINK THIS IS US EXPRESSING OUR GRATITUDE FOR THE
PRESIDENT'S AMAZING TWEETS, STEPHEN.
IT'S CALLED-- >> DON'T GIVE US THE CREDIT.
>> Stephen: IT'S CALLED "THE DONALD J. TRUMP TWITTER
LIBRARY."
AND TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT IT'S BASED ON
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> SO... SO, YOU KNOW, I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT ONE OF THE
GREATEST GIFTS DONALD TRUMP HAS GIVEN TO US HAS BEEN HIS-- HIS
SERIES OF TWEETS.
IT HAS GIVEN US INSIGHT INTO THE MAN.
IT HAS ENABLED TO US FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE DEALING
WITH EVERY SINGLE DAY.
AND-- AND WHAT WE'VE PROVIDED IN THIS BOOK IS CONTEXT, YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE, UNFORTUNATELY, CHARACTERS ARE LIMITED, AND
SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE LIKE, "WHAT DOES HE MEAN?"
WELL, WE EXPLAIN WHAT HE MEANS.
( LAUGHTER ) WE EXPLAIN WHAT HE MEANS, WHO HE
IS.
WE BREAK DOWN THE MAN.
BECAUSE YOU CAN LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP THROUGH--
THIS IS HIS 23ANDME, ESSENTIALLY.
FORGET HIS D.N.A.
YOU GO THROUGH HIS TWEETS YOU KNOW WHAT FOOD HE LIKES, WHAT TV
ME WATCHES, WHAT CELEBRITIES HE HATES.
UN EVERYTHING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP.
WE SPENT MONTHS GOING THROUGH EVERY TWEET AND CATEGORIZING IT
AND GIVING INSIGHT INTO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> Stephen: WHAT I ADMIRE ABOUT THIS IS YOU DIDN'T WRITE
THIS.
HE DID.
AND YET YOU'LL MAKE THE MONEY OFF THE BOOK.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) THAT, MY FRIEND, THAT, IS THE
ART OF THE DEAL.
TREVOR-- >> I FEEL LIKE HE WOULD BE
PROUD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Stephen: "THE DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL TWITTER LIBRARY"
BOOK IS OUT JULY 31.
TREVOR NOAH, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH NICKELODEON'S NEWEST STAR LIZA
KOSHY.
