♪ from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is... -♪ -(cheering, applause) welcome, everybody, to the daily show. thank you so much for tuning in. i'm trevor noah. you guys are amazing. thank you very much. my guest tonight, cofounder of the huffington post, arianna post is joining us, everybody! (cheering, applause) i know-- it's arianna huffington. calm down, twitter. uh... but first, some interesting news coming out of hong kong. here in hong kong, pro-democracy activists have been gathering in the downtown business district. now, the top chinese official, zhang dejiang is in town, and police have been trying

to shield him from the protestors. rallies are confined to designated zones. authorities have also glued down pavement bricks to prevent them from being thrown. they've started gluing down their sidewalks? -(laughter) -so that protestors can't grab the bricks and throw them? you got to admit, that's a pretty smart solution. yeah, because it stops the violence, and it also makes the protestors look weak. -(laughter) -i'll show you, government! (strained grunting) you know what? i'll just write a letter, and then i'm gonna go to the gym. it's also interesting logic from the chinese government. they were basically like, "hey, uh, should we spend some money and address the concerns of our citizens?" someone's like, "nah. let's buy glue. we'll buy glue." but let's move on to a story that's been particularly divisive over the past few weeks-- the rights of transgender people. now, with more and more states threatening to introduce restrictive bathroom bills, it was only a matter of time before the president stepped in. the obama administration has sent out a directive

to every public school in the country to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms that match their gender identity. newswoman: ...or face the threat of lawsuits and possible loss of federal funds for the states in which they live. some states are pushing back, including texas... when you pass these ordinances and these rules, particularly in the adult sector, um, it says any person, any man who feels like he's a transgender... he feels like he's a woman can go in. they don't have to be dressed like a woman. they can be dressed like an ordinary man. and what this creates, megyn, is a great loophole for all the sexual predators and sex offenders... ah, yes, a loophole, a loophole, my friends. that's what it creates. a loophole. 'cause that's what perverts have been waiting for. -loopholes. -(laughter) however, this argument falls flat every single time. just think about it. we have labeled these people as perverts, as sex offenders, and you think they're waiting for the laws to change? that's what you're thinking? like, guys out there going, "man, i want to flash people "in the bathroom so badly. "when are they gonna change the laws?! when are they gonna change the laws to accommodate me?!"

it falls flat every single time. and then, if they're not talking about perverts, then other people say, "oh, it's about privacy." privacy. that's where there's an expectation of privacy. when you go into a restroom, or your wife goes into a restroom, you assume the only other people going to that restroom or shower facility is gonna be a person of the same gender. that's been an expectation of privacy and you know what? i understand that. privacy. we all expect a certain level of privacy. and i've... i've chatted to some of my friends, you know, who are parents of young girls, and they go, "hey, i don't know if i'd be comfortable "with my daughter being in the same bathroom as an exposed penis." and i understand that. it's not like... it's not like i don't understand that completely, because... i'm not comfortable being in the bathroom with an exposed penis. (laughter) and i'm a man.

like... this is something that nobody's comf... no one likes being around a penis that they didn't plan to see. -(laughter) -this is something we all agreed on. and-and in life, there are certain types of privacy we forego. it's one of the deals we make to be part of society. that's what we do, you know? when i go to the gym, i have to accept the fact that in the change room there may be a man standing there -blow-drying his balls... -(laughter) i don't want to see that. nobody wants to see that! you do understand, you do understand that the transgender population in america is closer to 0%... 0% of the population than one percent. closer to 0-- it's 0.3% of the population is transgender. right? so the chance of you bumping into a transgender person in the bathroom is almost 0%. but the chance of a transgender person needing the bathroom is 100%. (laughter) they're already dealing with their own (bleep), now you're giving them yours. i don't understand... it's just... it's... it's so absurd.

you know? we're saying this, in society, we're like, "oh, no, these... this is disgusting, "this is something that we have to deal with, i'm not comfortable..." we're not comfortable with many things in society, but we've learned to get over it. it's what we do. an argument... you know what else people say? they go, "oh, it's... it's not natural," that's what they say. "it's not natural." as a practical matter, how is this exactly gonna work? what happens when a man, uh, with male parts decides that he is really a woman and would like to take a shower in the ladies' locker room, and there he is, with his... with his male parts exposed? now, is... is this really something that people are gonna think is really okay in the name of... in the name of civil rights? i don't think so. i think the absurdity of this is so strong... what's absurd is that you are talking to us with a neck that looks like a scrotum while you're speaking... ...and we-we have to be comfortable with that. what i-what is that?

what is this going on over there? that is absurd. you've got... what is that-- necksticles? what is that? that is absurd, but we have to accept that in society. it's, like, absurd. i love it when people say, "this is not natural, it's not natural. this is all... it's all absurd." you know, if you think about it, this whole conversation-- if you replace transgender with any other group in society, you realize that we've been here before. we've had this conversation about minorities before. you know? people said that about gay people five, ten years ago. the conversation was, "you're gonna have gay guys "in the bathroom? what, you're gonna have gay guys "in the same bathroom as a man? what-what's gonna happen? "he's gonna be, like... what, is he gonna be looking at my, uh, "at my-at my junk? huh, huh? and then what's he gonna do, "like, grab it if he gets a chance, huh? "what-what's he gonna do, start jerking on it, huh? huh? "what-what, is he gonna... is he gonna tickle my balls? "huh? what is he... what is he gonna do? what is he-what is he, "gonna do that, like, corkscrew thing, huh? what is he... what is he gonna... what is he gonna do?" wow, you've... you've thought about this a lot, my fr... "i'm just saying. i'm just saying. i want to know "what's gonna happen. huh? (stammers) uh, what-what else-- "am i gonna like it, is that what's gonna happen, huh?

"are we gonna get married? is that-is that "what's gonna happen? and then who's the husband? "how do i figure this out, huh, huh? "and then we got to adopt a kid. why are we adopting "an asian kid? i don't understand. huh? huh? how is this gonna..." it-it's just ludicrous. you're just coming up with hypotheticals of everything. we thought that about gay people. everyone had a side, was going, "this is absurd, this is absurd." but luckily there were a few who pushed ahead and now we look at gay people like it's the most normal thing in the world, because it is normal. society evolves all the time. that's exactly... like, like, i-i see gay people kissing now and it's not even a thing. i'll see gay people kissing and i'll be like, "hey, stop that, get out of the way. "i'm trying to watch brokeback mountain. i can't see. get out of the way. get out of the way." you know? it's just, it's... society has done this over and over again. it is... it's so painful. i mean, the same thing was said about black people. "it's absurd. we can't share the bathroom with black people. "white and black people in the same bathroom-- it's absurd. "what's gonna happen? what-what, is there gonna be "a (bleep) measuring contest, huh? what's-what's gonna happen when black people come into the..." like, you know what, when you look at it now, that seems absurd, right?

we... as a society, we move forward and we go, "those notions were absurd." we cannot think of why anyone wouldn't have wanted to have a multi-racial bathroom. there's no reason to not have it. like, what-what were people even thinking back then? what did they think-- black people (bleep) differently? what... what did-what did they think, black people were coming in nba-style, just, like, dunking their turds? like, "yeah, boom!" is that what they thought was happening? white guys, "oh, no, i-i got to lay it up. i don't like that. i don't like that." it's just like... it does... we've had this conversation, we've come to the same conclusion, we can progress. it is about discomfort, yes. but that's what progress is about-- it makes you uncomfortable. and you know what, in this whole situation, you what i... you know what i really blame? i blame the penis. yeah, i blame the penis. 'cause that's what this is really about. no one wants to see a penis. because, have you noticed, no one's having the conversation the other way. no one's going, "what, so there's gonna be a vagina in the men's room?" no one's saying that. why? 'cause it's the penis.

penises are disgusting. there's these things-- just like, ugh, just like... you know? just, like, a muppet nose on... attached to the front of your body, it's just... it's like the leftover pieces that god didn't know how to use on the man's... and he was just like, "yeah, aw, whatever, you'll figure them out." it's just... they're disgusting, i get it. like, men grow their bellies just so that they don't have to see them anymore. penises are disgusting and no-nobody wants to see them. but we've got to remember that this is about progress. you move forward even when it frightens you. and yes, it does feel like transgender acceptance has moved fast. everyone acknowledges that. over the past one to three years, it's moved really fast. but just imagine, for a second, being a 55-year-old transwoman and you've lived your entire life worried about bathrooms and locker rooms. the only thing transpeople are saying right now is "what took you guys so long? 'cause i feel like i've been holding it forever." we'll be right back. (cheering, applause)

(cheers and applause) now, contrary to what mainstream media and john kasich's jealousy journals say, bernie sanders is still in the presidential race. since the news spends most of its time talking about donald trump, we figured we would give bernie sanders his due in our new segment bern baby bern. (cheers and applause) ♪ ♪ ♪ #. >> roy: what's up, everyone? welcome to bern baby bern. now that we know that republicans have basically decided to nominate an orange julius caesar, it's clear that the democrats have to make a choice. it's either bernie sanders or -- >> don't you dare say her name. we know the bernie campaign is the underdog but like any underdog we know if we work hard we can pull this one out and win like in "rocky." >> roy: rocky lost. >> eliza: like that jamaican blob sed team. >> roy: had to walk.

>> eliza: hilary swank in "million dollar baby." >> roy: she died. >> it was another beak for bernie bros and broettes. >> sanders beating hillary clinton more than 40,000 votes. >> we'll continue to fight for every last vote until june 14th and then we're going to take our fight into the convention. (cheers and applause) >> roy: and we're going to own that convention like goldman sachs owns hillary clinton! look, bernie is on a terned we should have probably won kentucky, too. >> eliza: till hillary's people stole it! hey you big money bastards, go ken (bleep)-y yourselves. >> roy: at the convention, neither he nor hillary will have enough pledged delegates. this is still in play. >> eliza: that's why we fight

for every delegate by any means necessary. >> roy: don't do that. >> why? >> nevada's democratic convention erupted in chaos over the weekend. >> bernie supporters at the conventiony delegates are awarded. >> angry over delegate counts? >> it was so heated police broke it up and cleared the place. ♪ it's getting hot in here ♪ so recount all the votes >> roy: i wasn't so hot on all that unruly behavior. we can't lash out. >> eliza: we have to be more targeted. not everyone is against us. just the people who aren't with us. like the corrupt officials, they believe some soldiers got the nevada dnc's persona chair's pel woman and said what's up. >> roberta lange was flooded with death threats even to her voicemail. >> you are an awful person and you suck and you (bleep) and i hope you suffer.

>> people like you should be hung in public execution to show this world that we won't stand for this sort of corruption. i don't know what kind of money they're paying you, but i don't know how you sleep at night, you're a sick, twisted piece of (bleep). >> eliza: that's passion. >> roy: no, that's a felony. what's with how calm this guy was? yes, i'm going to come and kill you -- like that guy is giving death threats in between tech support. >> eliza: that was a death prediction, not a death threat. stop focusing on the negative. he took initiative. that's exactly the type of person we need to help us shape the platform. >> roy: but you keep up the mob behavior, the platform will be burned down. look, yes the system is broken and people want an outsider but what's always separated us from trvrp's people is our positive message. >> eliza: i know didn't you see the bird land when bernie gave the speech last month? it was like a message from an atheist angel saying free college, free college!

(bleep) hillary, free college! >> roy: bernie was totally chill with that bird which i don't think he would condone violence. >> violence is unacceptable. harassing individuals is unacceptable. >> eliza: man, bernie is getting soft. i hope he still supports bernie. >> roy: look, whatever happens, we're going all the way to the conventions to do whatever we can to make sure bernie becomes the next president. we're organizing. >> yes. >> trevor: we're phone banking. >> yes, we're punching, we're slapping, we're holding certain people hostage! >> roy: i don't think that's what we want to do. the point is we need to unit to stop trump, even though it means -- i hate to say it. >> no, you don't have to say it. >> roy: i gotta say it. >> eliza: i will staple your lips together. >> roy: if bernie doesn't win we have to vote democrat even if it means hillary. >> eliza: hillary! nooooooo! hilary will not be president

>> trevor: welcome back to the "the daily show." my guest tonight is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the "huffington post." her new book is called "the sleep revolution." please welcome arianna huffington! (cheers and applause) ♪ >> trevor: thank you very much for being here. >> thank you. i love your show. >> trevor: i love your site. i feel like i've spent years and years reading articles on your sites, and i mean years as in actual time spent. >> i hope not at the expense of your sleep, trevor. (laughter) >> trevor: i like that you're on brand. when you start a conversation about sleep, for most people, this is not what you would write a book about.

most people read books to fall asleep, and you have written a book about sleep. the sleep revolution, in fact. >> i would actually consider it a personal victory if you are reading my book in bed and you fell asleep reading it. (laughter) >> trevor: i like that you use "revolution," though, because it seems like the opposite word for "sleep." like a very sleepy revolution. i'll do it tomorrow. >> no, when the revolution succeeds, it will actually be amazing because right now we're living under the collective delusion that sleep deprivation is essential for success and all modern science shows the opposite. >> trevor: let's talk about that. you are extremely successful. you are jetsetting, writing books, editor-in-chief at the "huffington post," you have to be on top of everything. surely you don't have time to sleep, though. >> i get eight hours a night 95% of the time and that makes me much more effective and it also makes me much more joyful. it's not just about getting

(bleep) done, as you would say, it's also about being present and bringing joy and gratitude to what i'm doing. you said once, because i stalk you on social media -- >> trevor: i've noticed. i stalk you, too. >> i noticed you said once sleep is your drug. >> trevor: yes. >> that you can go anywhere, you can see anything, and you can do that without giving anybody drugs to get a fix. >> trevor: it's an opportunity to explore. >> to drug is a performance enhancement. sleep is a performance enhancement drug. look at athletes. they improve their sleep and their stats improve. >> trevor: and take steroids their stats improve. >> not anymore. not the best ones. not andré and kobe bryant and lebron james. it's all changing. >> trevor: what's fascinating about the sleep revolution, you would think the book is you need to sleep more to be rested, but it's more than that.

i am particularly trld in the fact that you talk about decisionmaking and what happens with it, and how it applies to the presidential race, for instance. hillary clinton, when she was talking at nancy reagan's funeral came out and said nancy reagan was at the forefront of the discussion, you know, with regards to aids and gay people and everyone lashed out and then hillary made a mistake -- >> i was exhausted. >> trevor: exactly. >> you remember ted cruz. >> trevor: we'll never forget ted cruz. >> just ten days before he suspended his campaign, he said in a fundraising letter bragging about how he sacrificed his sleep and health for the country. why would we want a sick, exhausted political leader? i don't get that. but that's the problem. politicians brag about it instead of effectively admitting they're making decisions while drunk because that's what science shows sny love it, they're making decisions while

drunk. does that mean donald trump never sleeps? or does he sleep too much? which one is it? >> donald trump brags that he only gets about four hours' sleep and sleeps with his phone and in the middle of the night he retweets mussolini -- (laughter) >> trevor: donald trump needs a nap. >> he needs a lot more than that. (laughter) but in the meantime, we nu the media need to do our job. we at the "huffington post" are doing our job. traditional media are trying to whitewash and mainstream him. >> trevor: people go what is the line because on the one hand you are saying as the "huffington post" some people would say journalists are meant to be beyond partisanship. journalism is supposed to present you the facts and have you to make the decision for yourself. >> yes, that's what i'm saying. i want to present the viewers and the readers with the facts. the facts are that donald trump is racist, that he's a sexist, that he's a m misogynist.

(cheers and applause) these are the facts. >> trevor: and on top of all of that, he needs more sleep. >> yes, but not before the campaign because the more sleep deprived he is, the more mistakes he'll make. and he's the only person in the universe that i don't want to get more sleep. (laughter) >> trevor: we'll make sure that doesn't happen. outside donald trump's house, we'll be making sure he does not get more sleep. thank you so much. this is a really fascinating read. arianna huffington. we'll be right back!
