Speaking of women who are making waves,
AOC, Ayanna, Ilhan and Rashida--
aka "The Squad"-- are back in the news.
(cheers and applause)
Now you probably know this.
Ever since the Democrats took the House,
these four women have taken the lead in calling Trump out.
And yesterday, the president hit back
in the most Trumpy way imaginable.
We're gonna go to Washington now,
where President Trump has sparked a storm of outrage
after a series of racist tweets
targeting members of Congress who are women of color.
WOMAN: The president Sunday called out
progressive Democrat congresswomen, tweeting...
WOMAN: Adding...
WOMAN: The congresswomen came from Cincinnati,
Detroit and New York City.
Only one of the group, Representative Ilhan Omar,
a Somali refugee, was born outside of the U.S.
Wow. You know, I don't know what's worse--
the fact that the president thought it's acceptable to say,
"Go back to where you came from,"
or the fact that he said it to people
who are already where they came from.
(laughter)
You know, it's almost like, in Trump's head,
you can't be a person of color and an American,
which is strange, because he, of all people, should know
that you can be two things at the same time.
Yeah, I mean, he's bald and has a full head of hair.
It doesn't make sense, but we accept it.
(laughter)
But not surprisingly, not surprisingly,
Mr. "Mexicans-are-rapists" doesn't think
that he said anything bad.
MAN: Does it concern you
that many people saw that tweet as racist,
and that white nationalist groups are finding common cause
with you on that point?
It doesn't concern me because many people agree with me,
and all I'm saying, they want to leave, they can leave.
Now, it doesn't say, "Leave forever."
It says, "Leave if you want."
-Okay, I... -(people booing)
I don't know... I don't know where to begin.
First of all, just because many people agree with you
doesn't mean you aren't being racist, okay?
Imagine if Hitler was like, "I know everybody says I'm bad,
"but have you seen how many people
"are waving at me in the streets, yeah?
"I mean, if I was racist, they would say something, yeah.
They would say something, yeah?"
I also love how Trump is trying to twist it now.
He's like, "When I said, 'Go back to where you came from,'
"I didn't mean forever. I meant for the weekend.
"They can come back.
They can come back. It's totally normal."
He makes it sound like
that's what's been dividing America all this time,
is that these people aren't racist.
We just haven't let them finish their full statements, yeah?
Like, maybe if we let people finish, they'd say,
(Southern accent): "We don't need your kind around here.
We want your kind around here, 'cause we appreciate you."
So, here we are again, my friends.
Everyone says this was racist.
Trump says it was not.
It's hard to know which side is correct.
(laughter)
But this sounds like a case for Trevor Noah, racism detective.
He's the only person who can help us find out--
is Donald Trump racist?

(cheering, applause)
Yes, he's racist.

And finally...
in some viral news...
for decades Americans have wanted to know
what secrets are contained within the walls of Area 51,
and for decades the government has said,
"What's Area 51"?
But it looks like now the nation's morons have had enough,
and they're going to find out for themselves.
NEWSMAN: For decades conspiracy theorists have accused
the United States military of hiding evidence
of little green men in UFOs at the top secret base
in the Nevada desert.
Now hundreds of thousands of Facebook users
are signing up all the time
for an event called Storm Area 51,
They Can't Stop All of Us.
It's scheduled for September the 20th.
The Air Force is warning people that Area 51 is a training range
and that the military is ready to defend it.
(laughter)
Okay...
okay, I-I didn't think Area 51 was suspicious
until that last part.
Yeah, the military's like,
"Guys, it's just an ordinary training range,
and if you come near here, we will kill all of you."
And it's like, what's-what's there?
Now we want to know.
And as for this Facebook group,
their plan is to storm the military base
because they "can't stop all of us"?
Have you guys never heard of bombs? Huh?
'Cause those things can stop a lot of us at the same time.
And let's be clear, a million people
aren't going to storm Area 51.
A million people responded on Facebook.
-(laughter) -Yes.
Which means seven people are going to storm Area 51.
(applause, cheering)
And, like... I don't even know
what these people are hoping will happen.
You know? Like, what are you gonna do when you get there?
You know what would be great? Is if they actually
get through the security and then find an alien,
and the alien is like, "Hello, everyone."
They're like, "Oh, my God, so you're real?
"Well, don't worry, buddy,
we're gonna get you back to where you came from."
He's like, "Oh, wow, where I came from? So racist.
So racist."
