9:45 am
of the e.u., england is out of the european soccer tournament. >> one of the greatest days in the history of football. iceland are in the quarter finals. >> 2-1 loss to iceland last night will go down as the worst moment in england's football history. >> trevor: wow the worst moment in england's football history. they've had tragedies where people died and this is the worst moment? that is a smart move crying into the ground. the guy is just, like, i may have let my country down but i'm not ending up as a bloody meme! hide my face! (laughter) i don't think you understand how big an upset this was. this was the first time iceland ever qualified for the european cup. nobody ever expected them to get this far. unlike england whose manager has millions, iceland's manager is a dude who works a part-time dentist. in england, went home crying, he gave them sugar-free
9:46 am
lollipops -- you were very brave! (applause) my favorite part wasn't the part-time dentist manager, ults the full-time crazy icelandic announcer. (screaming) (unintelligible) (trevor mocking) that's the commentator! it sounds like someone is killing him in the announcer booth, but he's so committed to rise job that he doesn't stop commenting on the game! (screaming) i'm dying now! so much madness. one small group changing history to another, the supreme court. this week, you would have thought that "game of thrones" would have easily been the most exciting season finale but the supreme court blew it out of water and they only lost one character.
9:47 am
(laughter) the court just ended its term yesterday but before they left they dropped some bombs. >> an evenly divided supreme court blocked the president's immigration reform. >> the supreme court struck down a severe anti-abortion law in texas. >> supreme court voted unanimously to vacate former virginia governor bob mcdonald's conviction. >> upheld affirmative action program in texas. >> upheld persons who commit domestic violence can lose gun ownership right. >> trevor: damn! look at the supreme court getle all their (bleep) done before they go on summer break. (laughter) right now congress is looking at them going, that's a thing? yeah, that's a thing, congress. not only does the supreme court get it done, but they get it done in style. >> the opinions are printed and handed out for reporters. but it's a long way from the press room to the television cameras. so summer interns pick up the
9:48 am
opinions and race them to reporters outside. >> trevor: oh! (laughter) it's just like the olympics but without the zika! what the hell are they doing?! that's so much fun, the supreme court could put all their rulings out online. they don't. it's, like, here's the paper, you guys read it -- i'm coming! i'm coming! so low-tech and so gangster at the same time. they're, like, why don't you guys just flex its, man? it's called the future! all these rulings may have moved america into the future, especially this one. >> ahuge victory for abortion rights in the supreme court the biggest since 1992. >> the supreme court struck town a texas law that imposed strict limits on doctors finding they place an undue burden on constitutional right of abortion.
9:49 am
>> trevor: don't forget texas was pioneering a scheme to get rid of abortion clinics by regulating them out of business and it was working. many clinics were being shut down and many women were losing access to reproductive services. corridors in abortion clinics had to be eight feet wide, swinging doors, beds three feet from the wall. they even had regulations for the janitor's closets. some of the things were extremely causey. texas law said the only doctors allowed to perform surgeries were dr. doom, dr. who and dr. pepper, and all clinics had to have a hedge maze in front that patients had to complete in order to find the entrance. (applause) oh, and one more regulation -- no abortions for people who are women. everyone else is good. yes. everyone else is fine. (applause) for more analysis on this we turn to senior legal affairs
9:50 am
correspondents adam lowitt, everybody! (cheers and applause) >> adam: thanks, trevor. got to be honest, what you said about the interns running out of the court, that was pretty rough for me to hear. >> trevor: i'm sorry. i don't get what you mean. >> i actually had that internship before i started working here. you know what is this it's not as easy as it looks. oh, man! (screaming) >> trevor: holy (bleep)! adam, were you okay? >> no, it was not okay. i lost my job because of that hawk. >> trevor: adam, can you help us understand what's going on with the supreme court right now? >> sure, i'll tell you what's going on, the judicial branch of our government is crushing it! it's the only place where liberals and conservatives don't always do exactly what you expect. that's what's so exciting about the supreme court, they zig when you they they're going to zag and when you think they're going to zag -- >> trevor: they zig. >> no they zag again, double
9:51 am
zag! never done before! >> trevor: my mind is blown! what about tim congratulations case? a 4-4 party line split. >> oh, you mean the decoy? i can't believe you fell for that. yeah, i guess we'll all just vote along party lines in all case, right? wrong! that's because of one very special man. >> as expected, justice kennedy held the key vote. >> all eyes are on justice kennedy. >> justice kennedy who was very clearly the swing vote on this issue has sort of expressed a lot of misgivings about affirmative action over the years but in this case, he has clearly very much endorsed affirmative action. >> the only way to win a case is to win kennedy. >> trevor: wow, adam, is justice kennedy that infliewngsle? >> you don't even know. you can't do anything without his approval. if kennedy says affirmative action is in, it's in. >> trevor: kennedy is the wildcard? >> they're all child cards. take rulings to ban people
9:52 am
convicted of domestic assault from buying a gun. >> an odd pairing, justices sonia sotomayor and clarence thomas descenting. >> 6-2 decision. >> she joined with justice thomas in his assent which is very unusual. >> adam: you would think the two dissenters would be staunch conservatives but thomas and sotomayor are on the same side! two die metrically opposed people getting together. you don't find that out of romantic comedy. elizabeth warren is not ever going to walk into the senate and say ted cruz and i stand together, we believe 100 cans of soup is a reasonable purchase! (laughter) but at the supreme court, anyone can pair up, like the unlikely animal friends branch of government, great for our country and adorable. >> trevor: that really is great. whoa, can we go back to the
9:53 am
photo? now zoom in. is that you and the hawk? >> oh, it sure is, trevor. that day i may have lost my job but i gained a soul mate. love you crawford! >> trevor: that's creepy. >> trevor: that's creepy. which one of theseing awards appeals most to you? the top safety pick midsize car and suv. most dependable. means a lot to me. the green car because i like fuel efficiency. what if there was a car company that received all of these awards. one company won an award in all these? chevy. ahhhh! chevy. chevrolet is the most awarded car company of the last two years. i love it! it's fierce. how would you sum this car up in one word? incredible. amazing. i can't use one word.

>> trevor: welcome back. it's a well-known fact around "the daily show" offices that jordan klepper loves a happy ending. he can't get enough of them, people. but sadly his happy endings can be hard to come bay as we see in the next unstawment of the ongoing series. >> at inaugural segment of jordan's happy endings, we travel to illinois to celebrate a couple who won $250,000 only to find out they weren't going to be based illinois was on a budget. at the time the budget was held hostage by governor bruce roner and a dead locked state legislature. they've had almost a year to get their (bleep) together so i headed back to oglesby to get my happy ending. danny, susan. >> hi, jordan! >> did you get paid?
9:59 am
>> yes. >> hit it! ♪ >> short but satisfying. that's my happy ending. >> it's not. >> what? >> they still don't have a budget. social services -- >> i'll ask inside, just -- great. this happy ending is going to take longer than usual. okay, so why aren't you happy? >> all human services programs are being cut and it's an absolute disaster. >> so they did fix the lottery. the problem is they forgot to fix everything else. >> the programs have been cut, education has been cut. >> illinois has no budget. they're in a total mess situation. >> because of the budget impasse, they've cut programs that provide care for the elderly and disabled. students are getting scholarships and homeless shelters closed. in short, illinois is more of a (bleep) show than ever. what does this have to do with you guys? you're lotto winners. you're thousand-heirs. you don't have to deal with the real world. >> i work in the mental health field. >> and illinois' (bleep) with
10:00 am
that, too? >> mm-hmm. >> what about you, danny? >> i'm fine. >> of course danny's fine. thanks. >> he has to listen to me and my sister whine all the time. >> what does your sister whine about? >> i work with run away and homeless youth and because of the state budget issues, it's hard to get them services that they need. no therapy, no medication, no nothing. >> homeless youth not getting the medication or therapy they need the perhaps the saddest happy ending ever. ♪ and it gets worse. with multiple lawsuits against the governor because over 800 social service agencies are struggling to survive, pretty much everyone is suing the governor including his wife! through her nonprofit organization that is owed $6 million. so what's the solution? >> get our politicians to get off their butts and to actually learn to work together instead of against each other. >> well, i'm not coming back to oglesby so i'm going straight to the capitol and grabbing the first lawmakers i see.
10:01 am
meet these lawmakers, two members from opposing parties to sit with me and i'm going to get to the bottom of this mess. >> i point the finger at the governor for coming in guns blazing and wanting to hold the budget hostage and being unwilling to sit down and negotiate about the budget. >> that's just not accurate. he's not a member of the legislature. he can't draft a bill, and he can't sign a budget on his own. it needs to come to him. >> to be clear, a budget has come to him, but instead he vetoed the whole thing except for one bill. >> yeah, he vetoed a $4 billion out of balance budget because no one's going to line item $4 billion. >> why not? >> it's ridiculous, it's our job. >> why? >> because we should do that. >> the constitution explicitly says he can line out things to bring it into balance. why didn't he? well, at least they could agree they're both to blame. you know you're to blame, snrieght. >> what? of course we are. >> so you're not to blame?
10:02 am
>> no. >> who's to (bleep) blame? >> we're all to blame. >> if you're sleeping well, you're doing it wrong. do you sleep well? >> only on the weekends. >> there are a lot of people who don't sleep well like the homeless, elderly, students -- >> taxpayers, or people that have businesses. >> that's not one upping the homeless youth thing. i'd let that sit. >> that's an incredibly important point. there is a hierarchy of needs, we could fight against tax policy because but in the mean time -- >> that's what you are doing. >> these guys wouldn't knee happy ending if it hit them in the face so it's up to me. the state cut funding to education and services. schools won't open in the fall but they're paying hot owenners. so survival tips to youthful minds of illinois. step one, buy lottery ticket. step two, win lotto.
10:03 am
step three, get the (bleep) out of illinois. i know you're thinking, oh, my god, this isn't possible! you know what? shut up! i know somebody who did this. so i want you to welcome guest speaker danny! danny? i have to let him in. danny. (snippinsnapping fingers) please take these fertile minds and share with them your inspiring story. >> woin the lottery. >> thanks for coming, danny. >> thank you. >> wow. and there it is, i've given these kids a fool-plan proof for success in the wasteland that is illinois because apparently the only thing this state is capable

>> trevor: welcome back. my guest tonight is a staff writer at the "new yorker" and best-selling author. his new book is called "jackson, 1964 and other dispatches from fifty years of reporting on race in america." please welcome calvin trillin! (cheers and applause) ♪ welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: fifty years reporting on race. most people -- most white people i know can't even watch "12 years a slave." how have you done it? >> well, i think i just got interested, and i think certain amount of it has to do with empathy that i think most white people, you're right, can't imagine being a black person, and think of it as something
10:09 am
theoretical rather than personal. when i think of that, i think of an experience i had with the university of georgia integration, the -- one of the undergraduates, charlayne hunter, was in a dormitory full of sort of hostile coeds, so we talked to her on the phone quite often. she's still a friend. one day, we were talking about a trip she had taken back from savannah, and she said it was awful on the train. i said, i thought it was a very good train. and she said, not where we have to sit. and i knew a lot about interstate transportation and all of that by that time but all of that trained from my mind and i thought, they can't make her sit back there. it was sort of personal. and i realized that people in the south, black people in the south, it's personal every day and, to some extent, still that
10:10 am
way in america. i think chris rock had a great line that summed it all up when he said in his standup routine, none of you white people out in the audience would change places with me, and i'm rich. >> trevor: the stories that you tell, you come from being a reporter, you were writing these dispatches. how important do you feel it was for you to embrace these stories as personal stories? because that's what you do throughout the book. you were talking to people as opposed to just reporting on the topic. why did you feel you needed to do that? >> that was one of the things that drew me to the subject, rather than write about politicians or movie stars, i was writing about ordinary people who had really serious decisions to make. >> trevor: yeah. >> was a mother going to send her 6-year-old through the lines of shouting -- women shouting
10:11 am
obscenities to school? i mean, these are decisions that ordinary people make every -- made every day down there. >> trevor: it's interesting. you say they made these decisions. one thing that struck me when i was reading the book was how many of these stories seem to be apapubliccable today? you have a story where martin luther king, you were seated next to him on a flight -- >> right. >> trevor: -- and talking about how much injustice was going on in the country, talking about how something had to be done. him saying, i think one of the lines was, i want everybody to love me, but i can't wait for them to love me. >> yeah, the idea of waiting pre-supposes some belief in reincarnation. the waiting would be more than a lifetime if they waited and, in fact, things started happening in the south when the black people took the situation into their own hands and started
10:12 am
doing -- >> trevor: that's an interesting discussion because you were on the ground. a lot of people even in this day and age say you shouldn't be rioting, you shouldn't be protesting. these thugs, you see what they're doing, they're smashing windows and doing that. you were on the ground when another movement was becoming a force, another movement that resorted to more than just speech. do you think that helped? you were there. was that something they needed to do at the time? is that something you can understand? >> i think they needed to do it unless they were just going to wait for a very long time or maybe forever. i think the first piece in the book about jackson, a lot of white students came down, hundreds of them came down to help. it's the first time that happened and part of the idea of jackson summary was to register voters and part of the idea was just to bring the nation's
10:13 am
attention to mississippi, and mississippi was then the most difficult state. at one of the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the freedom rights, somebody said to me, who would have thought that, when we were in mississippi, we would have had a black president. i said, when i was in mississippi in 1961, i would have settled for a black policeman. >> trevor: a beautiful collection of stories. i recommend everyone to read it. i wasn't there, but i say thank you for being there so i could travel there. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> trevor: "jackson, 1964" is thaibl available now. i suggest you read it. calvin trillin, everybody. we'll be right back.
