>> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah! ♪ (cheers and applause) captioning sponsored by comedy central >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show"! i'm trevor noah. thank you so much! tonight we've got a great one from the film "triple 9", anthony mackie is here! (cheers and applause) but first, let's take a moment to talk about the supreme court, or as black robe distributors call it, our best customer. the supreme court is the highest court in america, nine justices settling all the disputes lower courts cannot. the same way your mom settles the disputes your dad cannot or
11:01 pm
that your other mom cannot, because that's okay now, thanks to the supreme court. now, in a court that is often divided, having one extra vote can make all the difference, meaning just one person can be responsible for hugely significant changes in the law and, very often, in the last 30 years, that person was justice antonin scalia who passed away ten days ago. now, his vote was the reason america can no longer regulate our campaign finance spending and the reason minority voting rights are vulnerable and the reason george w. bush became president which makes scalia sound like a dick but on the other hand his rules prevented the government from conducting ifn vasive home searches and sensorring video games. so if you like to play grand theft auto, thanks justice scalia or if you want to commit
11:02 pm
it, thank justice scalia. he's a good all around guy. it's a powerful position. now there is an opening. as vague coons tuition is on so many things, it's crystal clear on what's supposed to happen now. the president has to nominate a justice and the senate has to consider approving them and then if they get confirmed, the rest of the justices, they have to haze the new person. it's a system of checks and balances and underwear up a flag pole like the founding fathers intended. (laughter) president obama said he would nominate someone as fast as he could. the only thing there is there is a senate-sized speed bump. >> senate republicans vowed to block any nomination. >> we're not bringing this nominee out this year. >> it is today the american people who are best positioned to help make this important decision. >> usually, you never nominate
11:03 pm
anybody during the last year of apt. >> i think this is a matter of policy that during a lame duck period we should not be confirming a supreme court nomination. (mocking) >> trevor: you will have to forgive ted cruz. he sufferers from mental condition called being a liar. (applause) yeah, that's what's going on there because, i mean, he says that, but the lame duck period is the part where a president has just gone through an election. it's after the election. when we're just waiting to inaugurate this next commander commander-in-chief. this president is not a lame duck at all. he's a perfect duck. like daisy duck. (laughter) yeah, i mean, like, she's got the bow and the feathers and the damn feet, i don't know how they fit, but they do in the thing, and she can do whatever she wants. (laughter) until the election.
11:04 pm
until the election. and then she's a lame duck. the point, is these republican senators are totally full of b.s. because not that long ago when there was a republican president making judicial nominations, they were sing ago different tune. >> we cannot hijack the president's power to appoint justs, it upsets the balance. >> the constitution of the united states is a at stake. article 2, section 2 clearly provides the president and the president alone nominates judges. >> trevor: yeah. thank you man with turkey neck. you've shown that this is not about the constitution, but rather just about getting what you want for your party. luckily -- luckily, the democrats know what's up. >> the american people don't like this obstructionism. when you go right off the bat and say i don't care who he nominates, i am going too pows him, that's not going to fly. >> there is no unwritten law that says it can only be done on off years.
11:05 pm
i'm amused when i hear people who claim to be strict interpreters of the constitution suddenly reading into it a whole series of provisions that are not there. >> trevor: you know what i love about president obama, his burns are so classy. like, he disses the (bleep) out of the republicans, but he's doing it so smoothly. he just has that swag about him -- i find it amusing that, uh, your mother is so overweight, that, uh, i had to order the, uh, post master general to issue her, uh, own zip code. (applause) he's just smooth! and you see, the truth, is republicans, the game is up. you love giving speeches and making ads about america's greatest document, how no one loves the constitution noorn you, but it's all sanctimonious bull (bleep). you just want to have things your way.
11:06 pm
oh, obama needs to wait. oh, it's an election year. oh, you like to throw around the term lame ducks? well, guess what, republicans, y'all are a bunch of lame (bleep). (applause) >> trevor: sorry, the mic was supposed to drop off. why is the mic not -- oh, man, is there another side to this story? >> democrats have done this plenty of times before. >> i will recommend to my colleagues that we should not confirm any bush nominee to the supreme court except in extraordinary circumstances. >> sam alito being nominated by george w. bush in 2006, barack obama was in the senate, voted to phil buster the nomination, he didn't even want to vote on it! >> trevor: i should have
11:07 pm
known. thanks for nothing, democrats. for more we go to senior political analyst jordan klepper in washington. jordan klepper, everybody! (cheers and applause) jordan, please help us. what's going on here? seems like everyone is just saying whatever it takes to get their way even when it's totally inconsistent. >> look on the bright side, they're lying. >> trevor: do you know what bright means, jordan? >> stay with me on these. these politicians feel ashamed to tell truth of what they're actually doing so instead they're covering their partisan intentions and high-minded rhetoric and principals, which is disgusting, but it shows they at least know what noble principles are. >> trevor: so they have a moral compass but they're not using it? >> yeah, but they have one. it's not completely lost. it's stuck in a junk drawer with old rubber bands and your ex-girlfriend's diaphragm. >> trevor: why would you keep your ex-girgirlfriend's diaphra?
11:08 pm
>> because in case she needs it back. she has another set of twins on facebook. we get it, good, you're happy! >> trevor: who's good? it's how congress works. it's something we learned when we were young, grew up playing the "congress, the home game." >> trevor: what? you can experience the u.s. bicamera legislature in your own home with "congress, the home game." >> awesome. can't wait to play. you go first. no, i'm not playing. what? move the country forward, vote on important issues. >> you just said you couldn't wait to play. >> yep. so can i go first? you can go to hell. with hundreds of pages of procedural rules, the only limit is your imagination. >> it says here... confirm nomination, even amend the constitution! all you have to do is play the game! >> please move your hand. my hand has a right to be
11:09 pm
there. >> fine. you roll the dice. why did you do that? you're not winning. >> neither are you. but neither are you. yeah, but neither are you (screaming) >> you can do anything congress can do. >> okay. maybe we can try again tomorrow. >> i'm going on vacation for a month. (screaming) >> "congress, the home game," from the makers of syria, the multi-player strategy game where everyone -- (blast) >> oh! >> trevor: thank you, jordan klepper. we'll be right back! we'll be right back!

(cheers and applause) >> trevor: welcome back to the show! there are many problems in the world, so it's nice when we get a chance to make a difference here on "the daily show." as jessica williams does in this very special report. >> jessica: i've done a lot of field pieces over the years and met a lot of wonderful people. so when i found out a former interview eee was in trouble i found out who was in need.
11:13 pm
not this guy! reverend james david manning is known for being the controversial pass for for at world missionary in haroldum and for posting signs like this outside his church. we met with him once in 2009. >> obama is indeed the next hitler. >> jessica: again in 2015 when he told thus little gem that has stuck with me ever since. >> i think this starbucks recognized the flavor of their lattes that they are using semen to make that ltte even more flavorful. >> jessica: you think they're using semen to flavor their latte? i sat down with dr. manning to find out what the hell is going on now. >> the city of new york, the deblasio administration, in particular, is trying to foreclose on our property over a damn water bill. >> jessica: have you been paying your water bill? >> we're tax exempt. we're a church.
11:14 pm
churches do not pay water bills or any other kind of tax for that matter. >> jessica: that's bullship. after a long legal battle, the court rules the church was not eligible tore the exemption so that and a long list of other offensens against the church prompted their closing. >> the sodomites lost the campaign to silence my voice in this community. >> jessica: who are these sodomites? >> many have moved from other parts of the city and country and moved up here to this particular community. going up town to harlem. going to let my hair down in harlem. >> jessica: i'm going to harlem. >> and have a good time. >> jessica: and have a good old time. >> i have to say this, i don't know in the audience can handle it. >> jessica: what do you have to say?
11:15 pm
>> a lot came looking for black meat. >> jessica: what? black meat. >> jessica: what is black meat? >> sex with black men. >> jessica: oh, my god. why do you say stuff like this? >> well, i think it's a pretty common -- i think jungle fever could be one of the terms. you might accept that, would you? >> anything is better than black meat. >> okay, that's it, jungle fever! >> jessica: i had one more question. does starbucks have anything to do with this? >> you mean the fact starbucks put seemnan their lattes? >> i have been thinking about this the last time you talked, the fact that you think starbucks puts semen in their lattes. how? >> how do they get vanilla into lattes? how do they do that? >> jessica: they pump vanilla in there. >> there you go. >> jessica: is that how it goes? >> i would think. >> jessica: where is starbucks getting all this semen from?
11:16 pm
because that's massive operation. >> i mean, i'm not a biologist or a chemist. >> jessica: that's true, you are not a biologist, you are not a chemist. okay! i said i was going to help and i am. so i met with the man who wants to buy the property, carlos, but turns out he's not exactly planning to put up high-rise condos. instead, he's doing this -- >> i run a program for homeless lgbt youth, kids who have been thrown out of their homes. what i would like to do is fill the building with young people who are currently sleeping in the streets. >> jessica: whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... let me just wrap my head around this right now. you want to kick out a church that is very homophobic and put in young lgbt youth? >> it's three blocks away from our drop-in center. it would be a perfect place for our young people to live. >> jessica: whaaaaaaaaaaaat!
11:17 pm
(applause) ha! that's amazing. that is great. but the reverend isn't concerned the largest lgbt youth center in the country wants to move in because he's carefully analyzed the legal proceedings and he's come to this logical conclusion... >> before this church is foreclosed on, sodo sodomites wl carry babies in their testicles for nine months and then jess at a time them out of their assholes before this church is closed. if it's possible for that to happen, it's possible for this church to be foreclosed. >> jessica: okay so you are saying people will have butt babies before this church is foreclosed on? >> people will never have butt babies so this church will never be closed. >> jessica: you just described it. >> it's never going to happen. >> jessica: so you're going to fight this thing? >> yeah. >> jessica: but they're saying you owe over a million dollars. that's a lot.
11:18 pm
>> yeah, it is. >> jessica: you don't have it, do you? oh, that's for shame. when the auction comes, the forecast is for butt babies and won't that be the ultimate twiiiiiiiiiist?
