i'm trevor noah! we have a great show for you tonight. here to talk about his newo newe "chi-raq," my guest is the legendary director spike lee, ladies and gentlemen! [ cheers and applause ] but first, we're back from thanksgiving break. but we all know what the real holiday was. >> millions of americans are rushing to stores this morning for black friday deals. for some the battle forburgens started thanksgiving afternoon. police were called to break up the fight between two shoppers in louisville, kentucky. >> trevor: that's my hello kitty toaster! no! i've done it again! ahhh! black friday. or as we call it back in africa... friday. [ laughter ] now, actually, last week, i was away so i couldn't sit around and watch my favorite tv show.

i missed all of it, tump-ire. it's about a ruthless man who stops in nothing in his quest for power. honestly, i just watch it for the music. binghampton, bong bong, bing, bing, bong, bong, bing. i have all the shows set on my d.v.r. i haven't been here. i hope you don't mind. i'm going to the latest episode. >> donald trump under fire for morning a "new york times" reporter with a physical disability. >> you have to see this guy -- airport i don't know what i said, ah,, i don't remember! >> trevor: who, what? that's what i get for skipping episodes. i have to get to my d.v.r. and see how we got here. >> previously on trump-ire. donald trump wants to register all muslims on one

database. >> you would like to register all muslims in this country? >> i would, absolutely. how? it would be just good management. >> ah, so donald trump thought registering muslims was "good management." yeah, what kind of dilbert cartoons does he have pinned to his wall? are you mad? that cartoon didn't even have a joke! what's wrong with you, mr. trump? [ laughter ] obviously, the idea of registering an entire ethnic group brings up troubling historical connotations. >> why would muslim databases not be the same thing as requiring jews to register in nazi germany. is there a difference? >> you tell me. do you believe? why don't you tell me. do you believe that, sir? you tell me. >> trevor: you tell me. no, you tell me. that's how a question works. i ask you a the question, and then you tell me! why would you -- ahhh!

the classic trump negotiating tactic. i like it. if someone asks you an uncomfortable question you don't want to answer it, just ask them to answer it instead, yes. it's an ancient art known as stupid judo. trump's plan was met with backlash but trump's a reasonable guy and two days later he had a good reason why all muslims should be tracked. >> i watched while the world trade center came tumbling down and i watched in jersey city, new jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering -- >> trevor: i think trump is confusing cheering with screaming. [ laughter ] i also think he's confusing bull-[bleep] with the truth. [ cheers and applause ]

unless -- unless, of course, he has evidence. >> let's go to this jersey city comment. you said you saw this. nobody can find evidence of tha. >> we're looking for other articles and we're looking for other clips and i wouldn't be surprised if we found them, chuck, but for some reason they're not that easy to come by. [ laughter ] >> trevor: oh, no, trump! the videos disappeared? well, that's the problem with getting all your videos from islamophobeic channel on snap chats! this joke was brought to you from racist app suite on trump entertainment which includes misogynistic tinder. it's -- it's regular tinder. [ "hail to the chief" playing ]. >> the 9/11 claim was widely

debunked by officials, factcheck.org and nbc news. it mr.o fact gave trump a "pants on fire" rating still, double down. >> you're running for president of the united states. your words matter, truthfulness matters, fact-based stuff matters, no? >> take it easy, chuck. just play cool. >> reporter: hey, relax! chuck! you're being more of a child right now! relax, baby! i thought guys with goatees were supposed to be chilled like the dude or evil spock! yeah! he was evil but he was chill about it! so trump said that muslims should be tracked. then backed it up by saying thousands of american muslims cheered 9/11. but the big question is how did he get from there to making fun of a disabled reporter? >> a "new york times" reporter serge kovaleski --

>> he had an article in 2001, kovaleski insisted his article didn't back up trump's statement. >> he said, oh, i don't remember! >> kovaleski suffers from a physical disability that limits the movement of his arms. >> trevor: what a riot. trump started at nadzy germany politics, through 9/11 to reach his ultimate goal, mocking the handicapped. no coming back from this. in order to stand a chance surely he will have to apologize. >> trump is not backing down. he will not apologize and even said that the journalist should stop using his disability to grandstand. >> trevor: i love this show! there is so many twists and turns! you think trump will apologize and then doesn't and turns out the disabled journalist is the bad guy! no one saw that coming!

oh! [ "hail to the chief" playing ] this [ cheers and applause ] this show must get great reviews. >> saturday trump said the paper owes him an apology argues he doesn't know covecover and wasn't making fun of him. the person said, i know him, i know him. i said, when? in the 1980s. that's a long time. 30, 35 years, that's a long time ago. >> trevor: yeah, c'mon "new york times"! you can't expect someone to remember a journalist he met 35 years ago! i mean, to remember someone like that, you would need to have a -- you would need to have like a -- what's it called again? >> god helped me by giving me a certain brain. i have a very good memory, chuck. i the tell you, i have a very good memory. >> trump says he has "the world's greatest memory." >> trevor: it was on the tip of my tongue! of my tongue! we'll be right back.

..obviously can't how are you gonna hide this? we asked real people what they thought of chevy's holiday deals. that's awesome. i like it. i love it. that's a really good deal. i think it's actually a great deal. i think this feels really good. holiday gift, christmas gift. this would be the best any gift. bar none. can i have the keys? wrap up the deals and wrap up the year in a new chevy. find your holiday bonus tag and get $2,500 total cash allowance on select chevy malibu limited vehicles in stock. can i take it home today? are just $9.99 for a limited time. ♪ hurry in for all-you-can-eat enchiladas filled with fresh flavors for just $9.99. ♪ got to get up if you want to get down ♪ ♪ get up

based on how they look, well shame on you -- for being right. [ laughter ] >> police described the shooter as a white male. >> his cabin was decorated of crosses made out of twigs. >> his police records in the carolinas include complaints about animal abuse as well as an accusation that he was a peeping tom. >> police and federal agents showed up to his remote trailer home in hartsel, colorado, where neighbors say deer dear kept to himself but always seemed off. >> we got anti-obama pamphlets within three minutes of meeting somebody. >> this guy's a creep! that's how you greet your neighbors with an anti-obama pamphlet? you could have baked them a nice pie with the same message, you know? to their credit, most to have the presidential candidates on both sides have treated this tragedy respectfully. well, most of them. >> the media promptly wants to blame him on the pro-life movement when, at this point,

there is very little evidence. also reported he was registered as a woman, a transgender leftist activist. >> trevor: i'm sorry, what? that's not true at all. it wasn't reported the shooter was a transgender leftist activist. there was an insane internet rumor and you see, ted cruz, if we believed everything we read on the internet, i would be reporting that ted cruz's anus is where his belly button should be and vice versa. just go to tedcruztruefacts.com and see for yourself. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> trevor: everyone can agree this is a horrible tragedy but another question hasn't answered yesterday. >> is this an act of terrorism. domestic terrorism? we're trying to determine if

it's domestic terrorism. >> when it's arab, we immediately say terrorism. >> some say it's a double standard, the journalists wouldn't be nearly as restrained if the shooter is muslim. >> trevor: why is everyone asking if you can call it terrorism? just call it terrorism. it's not like it's a liquor license. whose approval rating are you waiting for? the council of terrorism? by the way, we should catch those guys. for more perspective, joined by senior analyst jordan klepper, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] >> jordan: trevor, thank you for giving me a chance to speak on this pressingish shiewvment america, these are frightening times. we're all understandably on edge. but it's in these very moments that we must remember our nation's core values. and that's why tonight i say to you, please, don't discriminate against white men. [ laughter ] >> against white men? >> jordan: yeah, look, i get it, most mass shootings in america are done by white,

christian-looking dudes. but most white guys are good bros that want to live in america with good schools. this is only a slippery slope. this will only lead guys like me in places, luke bryan, bikram yoga classes -- >> trevor: jordan, a lot of people think that there is something about white culture that radicalizes your young men. >> okay. well, i disagree. >> trevor: let me ask you a few questions. do many people in your culture believe they belong to the one true religion? >> damn right. christianity number one, j.c. for life! [ laughter ] >> trevor: do they believe it's wrong to reject.

>> yeah, get on board. >> trevor: do they laugh at the mere repetition of a word like bazinga. [ laughter ] bazinga. [ laughter ] jordan, that's not even a joke. i'm just saying the word bazinga. [ laughter ] >> jordan: you're going to make me i think tinkle, trevor! i grant there are things about white culture but that doesn't make us all terrorists. >> trevor: shouldn't you as a moderate white person speak out against the corrupted version of whiteness? >> why is that my job? you're from south africa. does that mean you have to speak out being an olympian with magic legs that shot your girlfriend? >> trevor: those weren't magic legs. it was carbon fiber. >> stop defending him. >> trevor: i'm not. you're going to pick a guy in the race and -- >> trevor: i'm not defending him. i see your point. maybe you're right. maybe we should look at people as individuals, not some

monolithic group defined by their extremists. >> that's all we're asking for because if the situation reversed, we would do the same for you. [ laughter ] >> trevor: yeah. bazinga. [ laughter ] >> jordan: bazinga, yeah! >> trevor: thank you very much, jordan klepper, everyone! we'll be right back. [ cheers and applause ]

we're all familiar with this, axe daily fragrances. but what you wouldn't have seen is this, axe dry spray antiperspirant. why are you touching your armpit? i was just checking to see if it's dry. don't, that's weird. the first ever dry spray antiperspirant from axe. ok, wehere's dad. mom. the twins. aunt alice... you didn't tell me aunt alice was coming.

[ cheers and applause ] >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is a writer and director. his latest film is called "chi-raq." >> i'm down for the cause but how? we force our men to negotiate peace by exercising [bleep] self control and total abstinence from knocking the boots! [ cheering ] >> man, you really think something like that can bring peace? >> you know the power we have over them withholding just a day. a week. imagine a month.

a year! oh, they gonna bring the peace! >> trevor: please welcome spike lee! [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] >> trevor: the legend, spike lee. no one has ever drank water from that cup. thank you. people think -- >> another one of my firsts, huh? >> yes, it is a first. how you doing, sir? >> trevor: you are -- i'm good. thank you. how are you? >> great, glad. i'm honored to be on your show. >> trevor: no, no, the honor is all mine. >> he's doing it! [ cheers and applause ] >> trevor: i know we're talking about "chi-raq," but before i watched it, i went back and watched "do the right thing" and it was insane how prophesorial that movie was.

>> yeah, a lot of things. we predicted global warming. >> trevor: i noticed that! did you read up on that or -- >> i don't know where it came from, but i wrote it. [ laughter ] in 1988. i wrote that script from march 1 to march 14, 1988, we had the whole thing about gentrification. we had a couple of other things. >> trevor: one of the most harrowing was you had a black man being choked to death by the police in front of bystanders. >> but that was based on nypd strangulation death of the graffiti artist michael stewart. so i didn't make that up. >> trevor: would you say it was less prophesorial and more a case of history repeating itself? >> yeah, when i saw eric gardner, i definitely thought t was repeating itself. >> trevor: what was so different from do the right thing and "chi-raq" is almost the point of view that you've taken. obviously, do the right thing was set in a single day. >> hottest day in the summer.

[ laughter ] dead start, do or die. >> trevor: samuel jackson. and he's back in this film. >> yes, he plays the narrator, the greek horse dolometes. >> trevor: this was brace opened a greek play. >> a greek play written in 411 b.c., called life estrada. she's tired of the war and gathers the women and they form a sex strike, and they want -- they're going to keep it locked up till the men stop warring. we took that premise and we moved it to present day chicago. chicago south side which is chicago right now is the murder and the mass capita of the united states of america. >> trevor: this is where online controversy is, why would you call it "chi-raq," but you didn't give it that name.

>> no, local chicagoans gave it that name because more people are killed there than -- >> trevor: more killed than in iraq. >> than in the iraqi and afghanistany wars. >> trevor: this movie is bat [bleep] crazy. if you watch -- i don't even know how i would explain this movie to a friend. there are parts where i would say is spike lee high? because you laugh really hard. then there is a message. you don't leave a topic unturned. is this a film where you're getting everything off your chest? >> i think it was. if you look at the great scene the great john cusack gives, the sermon, the eulogy, it's like a manifesto for the film where we say what are the systemic conditions that result in this

11-year-old girl being shot by a stray bullet? >> trevor: why did you get john can john cusack to play a black pastor? he even has the rhythm and everything. >> the people have asked me -- and jesus has said -- and it's weird because it's a white guy. >> this is a white roman catholic priest, been in that church on the south side of chicago 40 years and he's one of the leading anti-gun, anti-violent people in the united states. >> trevor: i want to go -- i don't want to go because i don't want to die. but i want to go because i want to see this guy. [ laughter ] >> let's not joke about that. this is serious. blood is running on the streets in the south side of chicago. >> trevor: yeah. in this movie, though, the women react by withholding sex from

all the men and becomes a worldwide phenomenon. >> yes, southside chicago, then full chicago and nationwide then global. >> trevor: nobody's getting any anywhere! [ laughter ] do you believe it could work? >> it worked in liberia. >> trevor: in liberia, they say it was a contributing factor. but the woman in the story doesn't believe it was the main factor. >> she won a nobel peace prize for her efforts in which she organized women. one of the strategies is we're withholding sex and stopped the second civil war in liberia. google it! >> trevor: i googled it! wait, wait, wait... our continent! whoa! [ laughter ] >> trevor: it's an amazing movie. it's so funny. it's crazy. it has a message behind it. i cannot recommend the room e

the broncos give my beloved patriots quite a run for their money on the gridiron tomorrow. let me tell you, i'll be watching that game along with my five human sons, and my expectation is that i will enjoy it very, very much. what's that? it's being played tonight? that's wonderful news. the fact is, the whole family and i love to watch sporting events on television of a weekend. so normal are we. i'll tell you this. it sure beats doing saturday chores, that's for sure. of course, i'm kidding. we have people for that. well, a few days ago, we had another great result in new hampshire, and, of course, we enjoyed that very much, as well. unfortunately, though, that victory was clouded by a bit of a kerfuffle over a remark i made the day before. i was speaking to a crowd about the importance of being able to choose your insurance company. and i simply said that, when a service provider isn't doing the job, you have to make a change, adding that, i like to be able to fire people.
