9:35 am
teresting story. so, the gop frontrunner has been getting a lot of praise from some interesting characters recently, uh, real american hulk hogan and, uh, real white supremacist david duke. and now, in, honestly, a surprising twist, the leader of the black muslim group the nation of islam, louis farrakhan. yeah. i'm not making this up. louis farrakhan has praised trump as a good leader because he said that trump is the only candidate who stood in front of the jewish community and said "i don't want your money." so just to be clear, donald trump, the man who wants to ban all muslims from entering the u.s., just got praised by a black muslim racist man for being against the jews. like, i feel so bad for trump supporters right now, because what is their... what's going on in your mind right now? they must be like, "yeah, i mean, that black muslim guy "is right. but-but trump is right. "but he's wrong. he's-he's ri...
9:36 am
"wait, he says trump... if he says trump is right, "then who are we racist against? do we deport ourselves?!" it must be so hard. so enjoy that, trump. enjoy that. but now on to our main story. uh, i wanted to talk to you guys about, uh, iowa, the land of corn, caucuses, and, uh, people in cow suits pretending to be cows. uh... that's right. i'm onto you, iowa. i know there's no such thing as cows. you're just a bunch of weird dudes who like tricking people into tugging your nipples. i see you. anyway, uh, iowa. uh... so, uh... so now that the crazy caucuses are over, things are... things are getting back to normal. this week, iowa lawmakers sent a bill to the state senate that would allow children under the age of 14 to shoot handguns. yay! finally! kids under 14 will get to use handguns!
9:37 am
aw... beliebers versus directioners is gonna get a whole lot more interesting. yeah. yeah. (chuckles) yeah, and you thought teenagers could hurt each other with tweets. oh, man. so-so just to clear things up, currently, currently... currently, kids in iowa can use long guns legally for target practice or murder or hunting, right? um... yeah. a lot of kids do love hunting, you know? those kids who only like the first five minutes of bambi. and so... so, previously, kids under 14 in iowa could only carry rifles. but now this new law would allow them to use handguns. uh, oh, but the only condition is that they must be supervised by an adult who maintains "visual and verbal contact at all times." yeah. which is great news for parents, because, uh, maintaining visual and verbal contact can be done using facetime. yeah. no, you-you see, that way you can still supervise them
9:38 am
without actually being physically around the kid with the loaded gun! there's a kid running around... it would be so much safer. "look at me, mommy! look at me! yay!" now, i've heard... i've heard a lot of people complain about how nothing gets done by politicians. and, uh, to them, i reply, be careful what you wish for. reporter: nathan gibson says he's been allowing his now 12-year-old girls to shoot handguns since they were five years old. he is one of a number of parents in the state that's been lobbying to change the gun law for years. yeah. so, uh... (chuckles) so just-just to get this straight, so some guy picked up the phone and called the lawmaker and said, "hey, uh, my kids need guns." and they were like, "done!" and every day in america, there's parents calling lawmakers saying, "hey, my kids died because of guns." and they're like, "uh, can you hold?" yeah. not as funny, is it? and it's not like iowa doesn't do safety regulations. for instance, in iowa, you even need licenses to braid hair.
9:39 am
to braid hair, you need a license. that is a real law. and i know some people are going, "yeah, but, trevor, iowa is full of white people. have you seen what happens when they try to braid hair?" and i understand that. i get it. i mean, i bet one family came back from jamaica, and iowa lawmakers were like, "shut it all down! shut it all down! we can't have this happening!" the guy looks good, you got to admit. the guy looks good. look, i-i mean, this is... you know, this gun argument goes around in circles. i understand that a lot of people feel the need to possess handguns, and i understand that the second amendment provides that right. but-but do we really need kids carrying guns? because the bill doesn't even restrict this to just gun ranges. so we're willing to live in a world where there's a potential that a kid would have a gun in public. yeah. children with guns. children. do you know what children are? these things. aah! no! no!
9:40 am
(screaming) (boy screaming) (crying) man: oh. (child speaking indistinctly) (crying) -mom! mom! -(child laughing) stop! stop! (audience sighing, groaning and laughing) yeah, who watches that and says, uh, "i like that?" (laughter) but it's missing something. -mom! mom! -(child laughing) -(gunfire) stop! stop! (audience groaning) oh, and just, by the way, that was under adult supervision. you do realize that. that kid was doing that under adult super.... i love that the adult was, like, "i'm just gonna videotape this. -this is..." -(laughter) honestly, this is so crazy to me, you know? but there is some good news. although the bill passed the republican-controlled iowa house of representatives, it's expected to fail in the democratic-controlled senate,
9:41 am
all right? and children in iowa will not be allowed to carry handguns after all. so, i felt better when i discovered this. yeah, it is good news. uh, until i heard this. apparently, most states do not restrict children from using handguns. yes. most states let kids use handguns. they also let dogs use handguns. (laughter) -well, did you know that? -(laughter) well, they don't actually allow them, but there's no law against it. and apparently, if there's no law against it, then it's not like we're gonna use our common sense, -and, uh, you know? -(laughter) dogs with guns. of course, it makes sense. it's like the movie ar bud. -yeah! yeah, we get it. -(laughter) -we all love that story. -(applause) what's that, boy? what's that? what? timmy won't bother me anymore? what did you do? good shot, boy! good shot! (laughter) so, it's incredibly easy to give kids guns in america, and it seems like it's only getting easier. (upbeat tune plays) ♪ 1-888-guns 4 kids

(laughter) but it's time to talk about women's history. part of our rich cultural tradition is make women feel like there is something wrong with their bodies at all times. too many girls have grown up getting the wrong message about how they should look till now. >> mat tell hasp dated bar by's look. >> the blonde-haired blue-eyed bombshell is changing her look to a line of more ethnically diverse dolls. >> they're still driving pink
9:49 am
convertibles! that's not realistic! get her a '93 '93 isuzu. >> the "sports illustrated" makes us splap splash. for the first time ever, there is a plus-size model, size 16 ashley graham. >> i never thought i would say this, but "sports illustrated," that was a really feminist choice in masturbation material. we've finally shattered the glass bikini. >> trevor: sounds like that would hurt, due, i mean -- but good for them tore choosing a plus-size model. >> just one problem. where you see a plus, ashley graham sees a negative. >> she did talk about her dislike for the term "plus-size" during an interview with ellen degeneres. >> the majority of this room is considered plus-size. hope you feel better about yourself. (laughter) that's the problem. we're telling women they're plus-size. i've always been told plus-size starts at 8 and goes to 16.
9:50 am
>> it starts at 8? 8, trevor! 8! >> trevor: is this good or bad? i don't know what women's sizes are. 8 because it's a curvy number? is that what it is? >> that is a really adorable, but no, okay? plus-size starts at 8 because the modeling world is insane! according to them, i could be a plus-size model -- well, i mean, i couldn't be a model -- could i? i mean, i don't have the cheekbones or the chin, but i -- i do have that angry stare... (laughter) (cheers and applause) >> trevor: kristin... hold on. almost got it. ow! there it is! >> trevor: are you okay? ow! you're right, trevor, i could be add mole. anyway, i get why ashley graham
9:51 am
would have an issue being labeled plus-size. what's important is what other people think of her body. >> cheryl tiegs, remember her? she is slamming graham's full figure. >> i don't like it we're talking about full-figured women because it's glamorizing them. your waste should be small than 35. >> that's right, ladies. your waist should be narrower than cheryl tiegs' world view. (laughter) but to be fair, when she says a woman's waist should be under 35 inches, that's not just her fashion sense. she has extensive medical training. >> that's what dr. oz said and i'm sticking to it. >> kristen: that's right! cheryl tiegs went to medical school at daytime tv university. (laughter) getting yougetting your medicalm a talk show is like getting your

(laughter) >> trevor: bernie. he bernie-hillary thing. >> trevor: what's insane about that is a lot of people were shocked by how well hillary did with black folks. people were saying hillary might not do as well because of her record and things she said and
10:02 am
her husband's past but she crushed it. >> the way hillary stood by bill during the lewinsky scandal, she is in the right or die chick all of fame (applause) that's the main reason black people like hillary is because she dresses like stev steve ste. (applause) >> trevor: i'm so sorry. i am so sorry! (laughter) oh, man, let's talk about your show a little bit. "3 mics." a lot of times, comedians don't really talk about the dark side of comedy, right. >> mm-hmm. >> trevor: in your show, what really connects with me is you talk a lot about depression. >> yeah. >> trevor: you have three mics for that reason. >> yeah. yes. one is standup, one is one-liners, and one is for, like, emotional monologues. the thing i didn't know, like,
10:03 am
when event you the show, you were, like, i didn't know you have depression, too. i was, like, you have depression? but what about the dimples, trevor? (laughter) (applause) >> trevor: you know what's funny about it is people go, if you're depressed, you can't smile. if you're depressed, you can't tell jokes. but as comedians, that's one thing most comedians share is like the monkey on the back of depression. like, i always said to you the thing that's weird is i'm an optimistic depressed person. no, this is true. so, like, if i ever think of suicide or ever thought of suicide i go, yeah, suicide, but then i go, i could go stay on an island, though. >> well, you say that's optimistic, i say you're a richard depressed person. (applause) (laughter)
10:04 am
>> trevor: you don't know what island i was talking about. we have islands where i'm from. (laughter) how do you talk about depression in a comedy show without making people get depression in your show? >> i'm honest about it. i've done so many different treatments. i've done ka dr amine, i've done probably five different medications. i tried something called t.m.s. that worked great, trance cranial magnetic stimulation. people are googling that. they put a wand up to your head and shoot magnetic beams into your head. by the way, covered by insurance. not kidding. yeah. >> trevor: that sounded like scientology. i'm not lying. (laughter) this is a real thing that you do. >> yes, and i did it and it did more for my depression than anything i've ever done. >> trevor: you come out and you're happy? >> i swear, people go, what did you do while you did the
10:05 am
treatment? they hooked it up and i sat there for half an hour and watched "the daily show." >> trevor: aww! (cheers and applause) >> trevor: neal brennan. it would work against it, it was very depressing on "the daily show," but -- (laughter) >> trevor: neal brennan, "3 mics," playing at the lynn redgrave theater here in new york city april 9! new york city april 9! neal brennan, every okay, what is this? new york city april 9! neal brennan, every it's chewy. really icy. wooh. that's intense! it just hits you. its gum. no. it's totally a mint! it's disappearing as i am chewing it. where did it go? it's not a gum. not a mint. it's a breakthrough in cool. ice breakers cool blasts. thank you so much. did you say honey? hey, try some? you know i'm always looking for real honey for honey nut cheerios. well you've come to the right place. mind if i have another taste? not at all mmm part of a complete breakfast
