COM The Daily Show With Trevor Noah July 12, 2024

Trevor lets kick things off by talking about all the news that we wont be talking about today, which i know sounds really weird, but thanks to donald junta trump, we dont have time to cover some of the more fun stories. For instance the Washington Post is reporting that the Prime Minister of israel Benjamin Netanyahu has been bringing suitcases full of dirty laundry with him whenever he visits the u. S. , and he does this because all the laundry gets cleaned for free by the president s staff at the white house. Which is pretty wild. I mean, this guy runs a country and ehes treating the white house like a College Freshman visiting his parents for the weekend . It also probably explains while netanyahu is signing all these peace deals. Im out of underwear. Meets me at the white house. Trevor an app called grant is accused of promoting digital blackface, for letting users see what theyd look like as other races. I dont know if this counts as blackface, but i do know this counts as a shitty app because that is not what you would look like as a black person. Thats just another person. Also, if youre a white person, you dont need a filter to see what you would look like as a european. Thats what you is then in coronavirus is ruining everything news, it was announced the annual new years eve billion drop in times square will be going virtual this year. Canceling new years eve is a great call. I learned my lesson with 2020. Im not celebrating a year before we get to see if its good first. We should see how 2020 goes and then decide whether or not we want to throw it a party. You have to earn the right for me to celebrate you by vomiting in times square by drinking too many white claws. Its a privilege. Its hard to care about ball drops or dirty laundry when the worlds oldest democracy is about to become the worlds newest dictatorship. Never in the mystery of this country has there not been a peaceful transfer of power after a president ial election, but now President Trump is suggesting he might not accept the Election Results if he is not the winner. The president is taking a position on this issue that is not just unprecedented by critics warn it is dangerous, erefusing to endorse one of the most basic tenets of american democracy. Will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful trance feral of power after the election . Well, were going to see what happens. You know i have been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster and i understand that but people are rioting. Do you commit to making sure theres a peaceful transfer of power. Get rid of the ballots and well have a peaceful there wont be a transfer, quite frankly, there will be a continuation. Trevor holy shit, i never thought i would see the day when an american president would threaten to not accept an election edefeat. Lets be honest, this i is something you hear about in random country where america steps in to save democracy. Those countries should send peacekeepers to the u. S. Well, well, well, refusing to give up power rampant disease and high unemployment, who is the shithole now . Huh . Donald trump has gone on quite the journey. He spent his entire life being a famous land lord and is now the most famous squatter. Even if joe biden wins they will find trump in the white house basement living the parasite life. On the real low, this is a legit problem because the peaceful transfer of power is the basis of democracy. Hes basically threatening a coup, unless what he means is he will leave but ehe thinks its more interesting if there is a fight on the way out which i dont totally disagree with. Can you mind how fun it would be if the incoming president would have to fist fight the outgoing president . President trump and biden would recreate the geriatric fights while Kamala Harris had them in a head lock . Oh, no, im going to hell i hope theres a peaceful transition of power. But im not in good enough shape to fight a civil war now. I have been trapped inside my home for months. Im not working out. Im like a caterpillar that went into a contact coop and came out as a shittier caterpillar. If youve paid attention to donald trump, its not surprised he likes the idea of being a dictator. Hes written more love letters to kim jong un than his own wife. The question is will the republicans allow him to get away with it . And today several heavy hitters responded. Republican lawmakers defending the idea of a peaceful transfer of how w power but unwg to attack the president directly. Smart mitt romney tweeting any suggestion a president might not respect this constitutional guarantee is unthinkable and unacceptable. From marco rubio, as weve done for two centuries we will have a legitimate and fair election. Senator Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell tweeted there will be an orderly transition just as every four years since 1792. Thank god. Mitch mcconnell says the Election Results will be honored. If theres one person whos word we can trust, Mitch Mcconnell. A Mitch Mcconnell promise is as trustworthy as a husband with glitter on his face. Now he says the winner of the election will be inaugurated. If biden wins, hell come out like, rrrr, on november 16 the American People had their say, we cant just erase that now, mrrr, mrrr they voted once, why again . At this point, theres nothing the g. O. P. Can do to put people at ease. Because they try and reassure people then always end up backing trump. The g. O. P. Treats americans like a dog being taken to the vet. Yeah, you tell him that youre going to park and before he knows it hes waking up on a table and his balls are gone. After 250 years, americans have grown somewhat attached to living in a democracy. So a lot of them are understandably pretty upset about what happened. And usually, when americans are angry at trump, they dont have a chance to tell him directly, but it just so happens that today trump went out to pay respects to the late r. B. G. , and the people who were there, well, they let him know exactly how they felt. President trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived at the Supreme Court thursday morning to pay their respects to Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Mourners waiting in line to do the same booed and chanted when they saw the president had arrived. boos and chanting stew oooh that must suck its like trumps twitter mentions turned up in real life. Do you know how bad you have to be to get booed at a funeral . Basically, people are, like, two things have happened here death and you and youre the one were going to boo although trump is so oblivious, he probably turned to melania when they left and was, like, what did you do to those people, melania . They didnt like you at all. I will say kudos to the president. I half expected him to kick r. B. G. s coffin over and start cursing at the the crowd. Instead he kept his composure. Makes me wonder what was going through his head . vote him out, vote him out you simply cant comprehend the genius of donald trump. Our president has no fear. This is our best president , in my memory. You bought us valuable time by taking that strzok action, mr. President. It was brave, unprecedented. He is smart, filled with energy. Nobody is a close second, and he gets more done in a day than any other president i have been aware of over the course of my life. My father isnt deterred by defeatist thinkers. The word impossible, well, it only motivates him. Trevor of course, he went to his happy place. Although booing him might make some people feel better, trump refusing to say he would leave office if he loses is a scariy thought. Because who knows what could happen with that kind of threat . Well, for more on this, lets talk to a man whos repeatedly refused to leave his apartment when his lease is up. Our very own roy wood, jr. Roy, i need your advice on this, man. What do you make of Donald Trumps comments . Because a lot of people are worried this could lead to election day violence. Man, im not worried about that, man. Trump says crazy stuff all the time. Thats what he does. This aint that big of a deal. Henry pack your shit come on, son, weve got to move. Trevor surprising thats your point of view. Youre not worried trump will refuse to leave office . No, no, im not worried. In fact, trevor, everybody should stay calm and remain at home, and dont go out blocking the roads with the protests or anything like that especially the road between new york city and the canadian border. ringing thats my phone. Hang on, man. Francois, whats up, got a room for me in montreal or no . Thats whats up, my dog, i knew you would come through. Ill hit you when were on the road. Trevor roy, looks like youre packing for a big trip. No, im just testing my bag. You never tested your bag just to make sure the clothes 50 pounds look, its not like im about to leave america before donald trump declares himself king for life. And even if he was going to do it dont you trust his fellow republicans to stand up to him . Trevor when you put it like that it makes me more worried. No, trevor, dont be worried. This is america. Were going to get through this, man, you can bank on it. Which reminds me i need to close my bank accounts. I need to bounce. Going to get with you, brother. Trevor ill check in with you later on in the show. Does that sound good . You can do whatever you want but you dont see me again. Everybody wants to stay calm and remember that were going to get through this. Henry come on, son just grab a toy goddam trevor roy is this door shuts roy wood, jr. , everyone. Well take a quick break. When we come back, talking about the Breonna Taylor ruling, jeff daniels is on the show and desus imagine a future where Machine Learning will track your sleep.

For months now, Breonna Taylors name has been chanted by millions of people around the globe, demanding that the police who killed her be held accountable, and yesterday the grand jury made its decision. New calls for Racial Justice fueled by pain, frustration and outright disappointment. Once again rippling across this nation. Overnight protests broke out in multiple cities after a grand jury decided no charges would be brought against Louisville Police in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. The protests started in louisville but quickly spread across this country. Demonstrations took place from coast to coast, l. A. To nyc. Protestors gathered outside Police Departments and courthouses and held rallies in milwaukee and atlanta, demanding justice for Breonna Taylor. The grand jury determined that the officers were justified in firing the fatal shots because taylors proi boy friend fired at them first. An officer later fired was indicted but for shooting into a neighbors apartment, nothing for the killing of Breonna Taylor. Trevor yes. All over the u. S. , frustrated people reacted to a disappointing but predictable decision, with only one officer being indicted, and not for shooting Breonna Taylor, but for shooting in the direction of her neighbors. And you know, as i watched what unfolded yesterday, whether in the streets of kentucky or between people interacting online, i found myself asking one question, one question that just couldnt get unstuck from my mind, that was who is winning in this whole thing . Im not talking about who this helps in the election. Take donald trump and joe biden out of this because i dont think this is an issue that will be solved by just an election. Im talking about on this ground, the lives of people, who is winning . Because to me it looks like nobody is winning. Breonna taylors family isnt winning, they lost a loved one, got no justice and have been thrust into a political fire storm. Black people definitely arent winning because they have been told a cop can barge into your house and shoot you. Not only that, they can say that they were defending themselves in your house. And as if that wasnt wild enough, theyll only get in trouble for the shots that they missed . Seems like if only the criminal Justice System valued black people as much as dry wall because black people are always told the same things time and time again oh, bs just be a good person. You know, if you just had a job or didnt do crime, the cops would leave you alone, but what is now . Now its become, well, dont hang out with criminals, dont hang out with people who might have a history as criminals, or dont hang out with associates. Dont even live in a neighborhood thats considered to be criminal. But you wouldnt have to tell black people all of that because if you told the police to do their job better and not burst into places assuming everyone is a criminal threat, then this wouldnt happen. Black people arent winning. Why doesnt america treat the police as responsible for their own actions. Theyre police, not bears. If they were bears, you could say black people, you shouldnt be hanging around the honey, youre going to get hurt. But theyre human beings who should held accountable for what they. Do america tells people a story, that the Second Amendment means you should get a gun to protect yourself, but then that same america tell us that if you use your gun to protect yourself in your home then the cops have a right to kill you. And that sounds like a tyrannical government to me. And if your answer is, well, don shoot back at the Police Officers that you mistake as intruders, i mean, youre admitting what we all knew was true and that is america is a police state and its most protected class are Police Officers. To me it sounds like nobody is winning because the police are also not winning. Right . All that happens now is that they lose the trust of the community that theyre meant to protect and serve. And now, as police, they are running around paranoid as ~bleep , running through the streets, preying to god that they dont get shot. Now two of them were shot, which inonly increases their paranoia. Police are paranoid, families of police are paranoid when their husbands or wives leave, theyre paranoid because they feel like an Occupying Force there to fight against the city. Thats not what policing is supposed to be. You cant have effective policing if the community isnt on your side. Police arent winning. Being a policeman in america is terrifying. Youre old every day from your training someone is going to pull a gun out of their glove compartment and shoot you. In part thats true because america has so many guns. Doesnt matter if it happens, its in your mind. Black america isnt winning because people are framing them as a violent population. Black lives matter repeatedly said theyre a nonviolent organization. People say then why dont you control your members. Because unlike the police force they dont have a membership structure or a record of their employees. Anyone can march in the street and claim theyre part of black lives matter. We dont know if someone is. Someone can break a window and say its black lives matter. We dont know. But a policeman is a police been. They can be held accountable. Theyre part of a structure. When theyre not, only chaos will ensue. Nobodys winning. The protestors arent winning. Maybe 2 of protestors are trying to ~bleep shit up for one but by and large protestors dont want to be protesting. People dont want to be marching through the streets clashing with police, tear gassed, beaten, arrested. Theyd much rather be living their lives, but they protest because other people cant live their lives. No one looks at a march where people are getting beaten by the cops and say this is a great opportunity to get my steps in. Black people are exhausted. Millions of americans are exhausted. Theyre tired. Tired of feeling like theyre hunted. Tired of protesting the streets in order to be viewed as equals. Theyre tired of people telling them how to protest. Trust me when i say black people would rather be at home taking a nap. Nobody is winning. And you know what, yesterday got to me was especially the part where the kentucky a. G. Said to people angry about this situation that mob justice is not justice. Then what happens when justice is not justice . Think about it, what part of this was justice . If you want to say all of the police followed the letter of the law, did they . Did they . What part of it is justice . If you lied to the police abwhat happened during a crime, the police can charge you with something, but if the police lie about what they did nobody face thinks consequences, is that justice . What does it mean when the system says everything that happened in this Breonna Taylor shooting was legal, issuing is noknock warrant, breaking down the door and killing her in the bed is legal. Justice isnt justice either. The truth is nobody
