COM The Daily Show With Trevor Noah July 12, 2024

During an election year. Then its like, asterisk, that rule doesnt apply when we have the white house. Dont be shocked when Mitch Mcconnell says, how come the Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment but our great president is not. You guys feel me . Speaking of lifetime appointments, i cant believe donald j. Trump, people, gets to name three justices to the Supreme Court. The guy cant even name three branches of government but he gets to name three justices who serve for life this is the same guy who has fired everyone he hired because of how bad he is at hiring people for life trump cant even pick his own partner for life but he gets to do it for america . This country is rock and roll. I dont think anybodys surprised Senate Republicans said one thing when obama was president an another thing when its trump. I mean, you cant even call them inconsistent, you know. Doing whatever it takes to get his way is the one consistent principle that Mitch Mcconnell lives by. Its that and eating baby birds right out of the nest. Still, it has been pretty incredible watching some of these senators abandon their past promises, and no one was abandoning harder than a senior senator from South Carolina and assistant manager of chickfila lindLindsey Graham. Republican senator Lindsey Grahams records are haunting him, hes now vowing to support trump in any effort to november forward in filling ginsburgs seat in filling the election. Heres what he said in 2016 when president obama was in office. I want you to use my words against me if theres a republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said lets let the next president , whoever it might be, make that nomination, and you could use my words against me and you would be absolutely right. We are setting a precedent here today, republicans are, that youre not going to fill a vacancy of the Supreme Court. Thats going to be the new rule. And he repeated this in 2018. If an opening comes in the last year of President Trumps term and the primary process has started, well wait till the next election. Youre on th on the record. Yeah, hold the tape off. Trevor okay, i know he looks like a giant hypocrite and an asshole right now, but in Lindsey Grahams defense, he didnt know this would happen. Its the same way you say, oh, you know, if i won the lottery, i i would give most to have the money to an orphanage. I dont need it that much. Yeah, but then when you actually win the lottery, youre knocking down the orphanage to build an extra garage for your cars. Unlike a child, ab a bugatti cat sleep outside sometimes i tell myself im not going to eat another or owe, then totally overturn roe v. Wade. I have no will power, guys. What really doesnt help Lindsey Graham is he explicitly said, i want you to use my words against me so creepy. Sounds like some kind of weird Senate Version of bdsm. Thats right, you take that sentence, and you play it back to me you play it hard, and you make me feel ashamed. Yeah, you make me feel real bad with that tape, you just keep playing it to me. Now, there are a couple of republican senators who have said they dont fear filling the seat before the election. But pretty much every other senator seems to be fine with blatant hypocrisy. Easy to see why, a solid conservative majority on the Supreme Court could kill obamacare, undo abortion rights and strike down any liberal policies for decades to come, even after trump leaves, his legacy will be in the dpowrnt cy for decades. Its like if somebody came into your house to say hey but stepped in dog shit before entering, now its deep in the carpet an doesnt have to leave till it wants to. Phasing trumps third Supreme Court appointment in less than four years, whats left for the democrats to do . Joe biden is asking republican senators to follow their conscience, which im pretty sure is exactly what republicans are doing this is like telling han ball lector to go with his gut. You will about lose your face. To help me get a handle on the hypocrisy of the g. O. P. Senators, im going to turn to a man who cant pronounce hypocrisy, michael kosta. Michael, help me out with this, my friend, because i really dont understand how republicans can be so inconsistent. Well, i didnt understand their hypocrysee either, trevor. But i did a bit of research and i figured it out theyre lying. Trevor lying . Yeah, its a crazy new thing. Let me explain to you how it works you Say Something but you dont actually mean it, and then you can just do whatever you want. Trevor but, michael, then people will know that you lied. Thats the best part because if they call you out, you just lie again, and this just goes on forever and ever until the people you lied to are so worn out and defeated that they have to lie down. Thats why its called lying, trevor. Its amazing. Have you not heard about this . Trevor yeah, kosta, i know what lying is. Why didnt you tell me about it . All those times i didnt want to go to a Birthday Party and i broke my leg, i could have just said i broke my leg. Trevor how many times did you break your own leg . I have never been to a Birthday Party. Thats how many times. Im going to be lying all the time from now. Im going to lie if i dont want to go to a wedding, im going to lie if i dont want to go to book club, or work trevor whoa, whoa, whoa, kosta, dont you start lying to me. Oh, no, trevor, i would never lie to you. Trevor michael, i could see you winking. Oh, damn it im so new to this that im not okay. Hey, i gotta go anyways, i definitely dont have to masturbate. Trevor kosta, just get out of here. Well take a quick break and when we come back, well look at the amazing legacy of ruth Bader Ginsburg. So stick imagine a future where Machine Learning will track your sleep. Excuse me, maam . Yes . sleepily yeah, this already does that. Oh, i didnt know that. Well now you do. Lets try this again.

And he makes the connection touchbeer truly stunning athleticism, folks. Dos equis. A most interesting beer. Show, everybody. As we were talking about earlier, Ruth Bader Ginsburgs death has sparked a nationwide debate over how and when to replace her. But for this episode, we wanted to spend some time talking about just how irreplaceable she was. Because, you see, r. B. G. Wasnt justt another Supreme Court justice, she was an american icon. Even though she served on the spk that does most of its work behind closed doors, ruth Bader Ginsburg, through her intellect and force of personality and determination, somehow became a pop culture favorite. She would cross generations earning the nickname the notorious r. B. G. There were books, clothing, tattoos, even a species of praying mantis in her honor. Every time she wrote a dissent, the internet would explode. He said dont you feel uncomfortable having the name of the notorious b. I. G. . I said we have a lot in common. Trevor theyre both from brooklyn, both into fancy neckware and both got tired of diddy trying to steal their spotlight, not to mention we all remember r. B. G. s Campaign Finance opinion in citizens united, more money, more problems. R. B. G. Gained more fame than any Supreme Court justice before her, and deservedly so because even from the beginning of her life, she didnt let societal expectations about women hold her back. Ruth Bader Ginsburg grew up in brooklyn in a lower middle class family. When she was in high school, she was a twirler, a cheer leader with a baton. She earned a scholarship to cornell where she met a jovial sophomore who became the love of her life. He was the first boy who cared i had a brain. The year he enrolled in harvard, ruth followed, one of only nine women in a class of 150 with a baby girl in tow. Marty had cancer and she took notes for him and made him able to graduate on time, raising a baby and being a law student herself. She graduated first in her class. Tied for first. But didnt get a single offer from a new york law firm. I had three strikes against me. One, i was jewish, two, a woman, and the killer was i was a mother of a 4yearold child. Trevor damn, she was a brilliant student at the top of her class but couldnt get a single job . Its like she was a reverse jared kushner. To turn down a brilliant lawyer just because shes a mom, what did those guys think was going to happen . We cant hire her, shes going to force us to finish our asparagus. But those law firms that didnt hire r. B. G. Lived to regret it because she ended up being such an incredible lawyer that she started making history in the Supreme Court long before she got on the Supreme Court. Ruth became a law professor at rutgers working towards womens rights. In the 1970s, she founded the aclus womens rights project. She wanted to build the idea of womens equality step by step, to use each case to move things forward. Between 1973 and 1978, ginsburg argued six gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Courts allmale bench. Case after case, she slowly broke down barriers of gender discrimination that, when you look at them today, you almost laugh at them. We couldnt have our own credit cards, we couldnt get a mortgage without a man signing, we couldnt buy a car. There were hundreds, maybe even thousands of state, local and federal laws that, by law, barred women from jobs, even from jury service. Trevor thats right, people. Before ruth Bader Ginsburg came along, there were laws preventing women from getting a mortgage, serving on a jury or even getting their own credit cards, which is mind boggling. To think this country, this country ever let misogyny get in the way of something as american as getting people into debt i mean, women couldnt even serve on a jury. Thats why the movie was called 12 angry men, and not six angry men and women who had enough of their cam plaining. So after a career that changed the lives of every woman in america, r. B. G. Was nominated to the Supreme Court by president clinton in 1993 an used the seat to advocate for the equality of all people whether her federal justices agreed with her or not. As a justice, ginsburg consistently voted in favor of Abortion Access and civil rights. Perhaps her best known work writing the 1996 landmark decision to strike down the Virginia Military institutes ban on admitting women. Ginsburgs opinions helped solidify constitutional protections she fought hard to establish decades earlier. But later as the court moved to the right ginsburg wrote a learnty dissent. Huh brings is a fit word for todays demolition of the Voting Rights act. In a landmark case on employment discrimination in 2007, ginsburg wrote a powerful dissent at prompted congress to amend the laws. Trevor thats how you know r. B. G. Was the goat. Even when she was in the minority, they used her dissent to change the law. You understand how epic that is . Thats like writing a review so scathing and eloquent they let you choose whats on the next days menu. She won even when she lost. Who else can say that . Well, besides me, who broke into general olivers apartment last night and stole his emmy ha ha we should actually cut that from the show. I dont want him to know. The thing i find most impressive about r. B. G. Is not just what she accomplished with her work but how dedicated she was to doing it, even when it would have been easier to call it quits. This woman was determined to do the job that she loved. She loved being a Supreme Court justice, she loved the law. Shes famously a workaholic. How much sleep do you get . I can get by on not more than four hours. Her grant helped keep her on the bench through colon cancer, pancreatic cancer and the death of her beloved partner. Justice ginsburg even though her husband died of cancer yesterday was on the bench. She used to schedule her chemotherapy sessions fridays so she would have the weekend to recover and during that time she did not miss a single day on the bench. Instead of concentrating on my aches and pains, i concentrate on the courts work. Trevor okay, people, that is just aweinspiring. Throughout multiple battles of cancer, she never stopped working. One time i missed work for two weeks because my leg fell asleep on the toilet. I had no choice, i couldnt get up. All i could do is scroll instagram and hope somebody found me. Ever try that shit, when youre texting and the legs go and you cant stand because your leg can break . Thats a thing i read, if you stand on the leg so, look, i know with r. B. G. s passing, a lot of people feel hopeless, defeated and like everything is lost, but if theres one thing that r. B. G. s life shows us, its that change isnt easy, but if you put in the time, the effort and the dedication, you can see results. She never gave up and she never stopped fighting. If anyone lived the biggie line, stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart is in it and really live the phrase skys the limit, it was ruth and thats why they called her the notorious r. B. G. That and she might have killed tupac. We have to take a break. When we come back, ill speak to americas most trusted epidemiologist dr. Anthony i cant believe it. What .

Anthony fauci, director of the National Institutes of allergy any and Infectious Diseases and americas leading Infectious Disease experts. We spoke about the state of the pandemic the hopes for a vaccine and so much more. Dr. Futurey, welcome back to the daily social distancing show. Thank you. Very nice to be with you. Thank you for having me. Trevor before i ask you about us, im going to try as we do in african culture and ask you about you. I know that you had surgery on your vocal chords, something im very sensitive to because i, too, had polyps and had to get them surgically removed. How are you and your voice . Im actually fine, trevor. Thank you for asking. I should have had this done literally months ago. I had kind of strained my voice. I had actually an upper respiratory infection and had a little tracheitis. Usually you rest and it goes away, but things exploded with covid 19. I was 17, 18 hours a day talking to the point where i just strained and strained and strained it. I realized my voice was gravelly and i couldt not get it back to normal. The surgery was successful, they removed a benign polyp and now this is my regular voice. Instead of sounding like Vito Coreleone from the godfather, i sound like Anthony Fauci from the nature. Trevor i know how horrible the surgery can be, so im glad you have your voice back. There
