[ both laugh ] 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. thank you for tuning in. our guest tonight tavis smiley is joining us everybody. first breaking news or broke news. >> trouble for the trump campaign. a staggering lack of cash. >> despite bringing in nearly 5 million. he ended the month with nearly a million dollars in the bank. >> yes it turns out a guy's

whose businesses have bankrupt four times is less than amazement in managing money. the more amazing the expenses. he wrote checks for $423,000 to trump's private country club. 350,000 for the private jet. $72,000 on trump tower. $35,000 on trump's florida golf courses and another $29,000 on another trump florida golf club. perfect sense, people that's all this is. it's a money laundering scam. a money laundering scam in a presidential campaign which appears to be a human shapes piece of hickory smoked bacon. that's all. my favorite expenditure was this. >> $201,000 on hats? [laughing] [cheers and applause]

>> trevor: $200,000 on hats. yes even free landers are like what, that's so much money. it's weird. trump supporters don't need to wear hats. where are they putting it on top of the sheet? come on, people. now to the big news out of washington yesterday. the senate voted on four different gun control amendments and all blocked. >> amendment rom senator grassley isn't even a half measure. >> it's a political stunt. >> there is nothing in the feinstein amendment that would of prevented the orlando shooting from occurring. >> each has flaws i'm concerned about. >> serious flaws. >> the other side wants it both ways. >> guns, guns, guns, guns. trevor: i love how she looked down at the page, like she wasn't sure of the word. guns, guns, guns ... guns, guns, guns.

yes. you know really too bad congress isn't around tkuring a mass shooting. looks like they could block anything. i know the temptation is to blame republicans for this. everyone thinks they're in the pocket of the nra this. is not true. it's more like republicans are in the underwear of the nra. cradle the nra balls, and close enough to handle any of their beep. the democrats are also at fault. both sides agreed right before the debate to pass any bill they would need 60 votes. which neither side has. so, this whole ordeal in the senate was basically just for show. like the wwe, but here people are actually getting hurt. the question is what exactly were the bills that congress failed. something we will find out in our new game show about congress. it's called "let's do anything."

>> welcome to "let's do anything." the game show about congress where even the slightest progress counts as a win. it couldn't be easier. today's topic guns, guns, guns, guns, guns ... guns. >> our first contestant playing for team democrats. >> i'm fighting for an america where all guns can go to the bathroom -- sorry my notes are mixed up. >> trevor: we're moving right on. our next contestant for republicans, jordan. >> thank you, trevor. america, family, fishing, heartland, baseball, flag pin, america. >> trevor: i don't -- >> i believe it was, trevor. trevor: welcome. congress is charged with serving the american people. you are here representing our

representatives. you know the rules, let's do anything about guns. >> on be half of democrats i'm going with the feinstein bill. >> the bill would give the attorney general the power to deny the sale, delivery or transfer to anyone known or suspected to be a terrorist. >> trevor: oh, democrats coming out strong. oh. republicans with the block. jordan. >> yes the feinstein bill would give the attorney general unchecked power deny anyone their second amendment rights. that's great if you want to crap on the constitution and wipe yourself with the constitution. why wipe yourself with what you crapped on. it's bad governance and bad hygiene. >> trevor: so the republicans blocked the democrats gun proposal. >> trevor, ain't no party like the grand old party. the grand old party like the

corcornin amendment. >> this would delay suspected terrorists from getting a gun for 72 hours. >> trevor: a interesting choice. >> the only choice. if the fbi finds probable cause the terrorist doesn't get to buy the gun and a good guy gets to buy the gun. >> trevor: roy. >> so close. trevor, you can't expect the fbi to prove probable cause in 72 hours. 72 hours isn't enough good time to decide on a good father's day gift. you will get it in july. i'm blocking. >> trevor: that's the end of the rounds. the score is tied at zero. time for the next round. >> just a moment. in honor of all victims i ask for a moment of silence. >> trevor: of course. >> great. what is next. >> trevor: i thought you wanted to have a moment of silence? >> no, i wanted to be seen asking for a moment of silence.

play the game, spin the wheel. >> trevor: no wheel. >> whatever, man. trevor: okay we asked a hundred people, top three answers on the board. what do americans want congress to do about guns. >> defeat republicans. >> defeat democrats. (buzzard) >> oh, facebook post. (doesard). >> thoughts and prayers. >> buzzard (. >> candle light vigil. (buzzard). >> bigger flag pins. trevor: let's see the answers. survey says: something. do something about guns. okay. you could of gone with anything. >> anything. trevor: yes anything about tkpupbz. the top answer would of been, for the love of god just not nothing. [cheers and applause]

>> trevor: gentlemen, the lightening round. the stakes are not any hire. roy, your chance to get on the board. >> trevor, after owe land owe i don't think reif you i will cans could say no to the mushy amendment. >> increase background checks and close the gun show loophole. >> say no to that. trevor: jordan, -9d 0% of americans support measures like this. >> it sounds compelling. no obvious reasons why republicans wouldn't -- (phone rings). >> wait, it's the nra. ya, wayne dog. sorry mr. lapierre. yes. it makes -- yes, sir. no the republican senators don't want to lose their seats. i mean i see if you told me to, sir. i am a pretty pony. yes, thank you.

thank you. trevor, you know i have evolved on my position. we're going to block the expanded background checks. (buzzard). >> trevor: jordan, with that decision one left. your chance to do anything. reif you i will cans for the win. >> grassley amendment. two words. >> the grassley amendment would provide fundings for the nics. background checks and share mental health records. >> trevor: this is big one. are the democrats going to allow the republicans to do anything. >> look, trevor, that grassley bill maybe better than nothing, but if the republicans got it, they could say they did something. so, we're going to not do anything. >> trevor: well, unfortunately this game and the nation are out of time. both democrats and reif you ires have zero points.

you did nothing. >> the nra just gave me a ton of cash. >> trevor: oh, wow. >> yes. trevor: wow. i guess it's just the democrats who didn't win. >> no we won big too. we are using this discussion to get talking points for our new campaign add. check it out. >> jordan says he's on your side. when it comes to guns who does he really listen to? when we needed jordan to help, he chose instead to take a giant check from the nra. so vote for the guy who views your version of nothing. >> i'm row wood jr. and will nothing for you. [ applause ] [cheers and applause] >> trevor: i guess both sides won. yes. [laughing] >> trevor: that's all we have time for. thank you for joining us on "let's do anything." the game with the only loser being the american people. we will be right back.

"summer, summer, summertime" for many americans the first day of

summer signifies something much different. it's hot as balls. >> the first day of summer has arrived. it's a scorcher for tens of millions in the southwest. >> temperature 120°. >> 40 million people are under a heat warning. >> you can fry an egg on the sidewalk. >> trevor: ya, what why are we using eggs to tell temperature? i don't understand this. people in africa are watching this saying we would never do that in africa. we don't waste food and we don't have sidewalks. we call them pavement. you racist, that's why. the heat, the heat has had a serious effect. wildfires, heat warning and lebron james is crying to keep his face cool. most of all the heat is making people lose their minds. >> at this hour before sunrise it's over 90°. later to day the playground will be too hot to touch.

swimming pool. >> i came with my daughter to visit my father for father's day. i saw the foot prints and i looked out. then i saw the bear from around the corner and he jumped into the pool. then he continued to play for about 20 minutes. >> trevor: ahhh. that's really cute now. you know it's going to be an entire summer of that bear stopping by now. bothering you the whole summer, hey, anyone home. can i use the pool. hey, do you mind if i eat your cat. ya i'm going to eat your cat. i'm so cute. things are so bad america's youth are taking refuge in the strangest of places. >> it's difficult to find a place to cool off. especially this hot outside. we found a public library open from 20 12 * to 4:00. >> trevor: you're not allowed to give a hang ten sign if you're not on a surfboard. there are rules. it's like a uber driver saying,

all aboard, matees this. report only got more, shall we say, more investigative. >> chelsea and erica have lived together three years. with temperatures sky rocketing they had no choice but to get out of the house. >> >> the summers are horrible. 100° weather, the windows in the front it is like a oven and bakes us in. >> trevor: news thaoerbgsz are your weather experts? who is the creepy producer that put that together. ladies, that was a great take. let's try this on the trampoline. that's good. no, it's for the news, the news. seriously, people, ridiculous. the news, anything practical to tell bus the heatwave. >> if you don't have air conditioning go to a friend's or neighbor's house and stay hydrated. >> trevor: finally something useful. stay hydrated. wait, did the heat wave bake

>> trevor: welcome back to the daily show. my guest tonight is the host of pbs "tavis smily" and best selling author. his new book "before you judge me, the tie you mean o tryumph f michael jackson's last days" tavis smiley. [ applause ] >> trevor: welcome to the how. >> good to be back. trevor: good to be here with you talking about one of the

greatest. >> perhaps the greatest entertainer of all times. >> trevor: that's a point up for discussion. people going back and forth between prince and michael jackson. both topics you're intimate about. you're one of the few people name dropped by prince. everyone name dropped prince's name. he was like i know tavis. >> rodney did it. trevor: in your opinion, can you compare the two? should you compare the two? >> they're both artistic geniuses no doubt about. that the distinction is michael was more of a collaborator. prince was ought o autonomous. prince would do a vehicle -lz and everything background, front music, photos taken by prince and he did it all. both are artistic geniuses. it's tragic both are gone. more tragic both are gone from a

drug dependency born initially of pain. we look so much at the icongraphy we lose sight of the humanity of the people. i hope this helps us look at michael's humanity instead of just his icongraphy and all that went into. that. >> trevor: that's tough for people to navigate. people say, how do i look at michael's humanity when he such a marred history. just the last two days stories have come up, they talk about the materials they found in michael jackson's home. the animals, brutality, you know pictures of children -- you know how do fans then work with that? how do fans still see michael as a genius and at the same time look at what he lived in his life. >> three quick answers. one, i say some of us is not the sum of us.

the some is not the sum of us. you don't want to be judged by the some. i want to be judged by the sum total. we judge by the some we loose out on seeing the sum total then we lose as a result. none of us are perfect. we're just human, that's number one. number two, when i think about mike and prince, now that they're gone and these discoveries are made, these stories come out. >> trevor: yes. >> michael is not here to stay r. say anything for him self. prince is not here to say anything for him self. >> trevor: everyone speculates. >> if prince and michael were here, that's what we do in this book, put you in michael's shoes. he makes a comment, i'm coming back one more time that's it. sixteen weeks later he's dead. i want to know what happened between saying you were coming back. i bought my plane ticket,

concert ticket and -- >> trevor: the fan s look at me. you died in the middle of my trip. ahhh. >> sixteen weeks later you're gone. i want in his world and his head to see what that sixteen week journey was like when you did all you could with every fiber of your being to deal with the tension of your drug dependency to stage the biggest come back in the world. mike as well not here to explain. that this book puts new that place. they can't speak for themselves. >> trevor: now you speak clearly. it's sixteen weeks. a tragic end to a promising, you know, resurgence in a career with. regards to michael and prince do you think there is a conversation that needs to be had around the pain killer epidemic. it seems it's more widespread than people would like to admit. >> it's more widespread. the tragedy s i say this with

love in my heart. when it happens to icons we take it seriously. can i be bold. when it happens to rich white folks in the suburb we take it more serious ly when drugs snuff the life of every day fellow citizens of color, citizens who don't have means, we don't take the issue seriously. everyone wants to talk about opeoppiete use. if we believe in humanity and all fellow citizens we should have been on this drug issue a long time ago. "just say no" is not an answer. slogans are not policy. >> trevor: fantastic book "before you judge me" if you're a fan you want to read this. tavis smily, everybody. ♪
