>> from philadelphia where you probably won't get punched more than once, it's the 12016 democratic national convention. let's not get crazy. night two. every minority the cameras could find. (cheers and applause). >> trevor: welcome, everyone, to the daily show. i'm trevor noah. so excited to have you. thank you so much. we're in philadelphia, people, we are in philly officially covering the democratic national convention. i'm so excited, our guest new york senator kirsten gillibrand is joining us, everybody. good time, good times! and speaking of excitement, is everyone excited about having

the first female nominee for president? (cheers and applause). >> trevor: america's first female-- because i am. i am not going to lie, i am. yes. it's so great to be here when america takes these major steps forward. it's also exciting because it is a first. first anything are exciting, you know. yeah, first day of school, you know, first comment on instagram. first. first time you had sex. (applause). >> trevor: yeah, first time you had sex right. (laughter) the point s the point is, yesterday was a historic occasion. and now we're joined to celebrate that history with desi lydic, everybody. desi lydic. hello, desi. >> trevor, let me tell you something, in this country a lot of bars give women free drinks on tuesdays and call it ladies night. but last night was the real [bleep] ladies night. (cheers and applause)

you realize before yesterday america had 131 male presidential nominees, 0 female nominees and 0 squirrel nominees. and after 240 years and 56 elections, women have finally edged out squirrels. (applause) look, i know hillary kept it low key and accepted the nomination by video because she's classy like that. but this was so huge. she deserved to ride in on a shooting star like katy perry at the super bowl! >> trevor: she really is a fire work, desi. an people must have been losing their [bleep] in the convention? >> yes, they still are! i wish i could stay in here forever because outside people are just kind of like oh, first female nominee, cool. hey, look, trump is doing an ama on reddit. >> trevor: i feel you there. i feel you, even some major american newspapers in fact used pictures of hillary's husband when talking about how she made

history, or should i say hers-story. >> no, history is fine. but seriously, what the hell? this is a huge deal for this country. you know, every one talks about how advanced america is compared to the rest of the world. but we suck at having women in power. want to know who got here before us? pretty much everybody. argentina, germany, mongolia, liberia, [bleep] pakistan's already assassinated a female leader. might have gone a little too far down progress lane. there is a real [bleep] spot you want to stay in. >> trevor: desi, it is funny you say that because when obama won, even black people in africa were losing their [bleep] and he's only half african. >> yeah, exactly. trevor, hillary is full woman. plaws. >> god! and look, look, i know maybe some conservative women don't exactly feel like celebrating at hillary's victory. but you can hate hillary and

still love what happened last night. (cheers and applause) >> yeah. because her victory and power-- empowers all women. even if you want to use that power to say that hillary planned benghazi from a secret e-mail server that she bought with goldman sax donations. you can do that. hillary busted through that glass ceiling and you can follow her through it. even if it is just to take her down. this is just really beautiful, when you think about it like that. >> trevor: it really is beautiful. an it's long overdue, men have been running the white house for a hundred year, they have screwed a lot of [bleep] up. >> yeah, and now it's time for women to screw some [bleep] up. >> trevor: des ir-- desi lydic, everyone, desi lydic. now after hillary clinton got enough votes to officially win the nomination the democrats spent most of the night impatiently waiting for bill clinton to show up. then they spent the rest of the night waiting for bill clinton

to stop talking, no, i am kidding, it was a beautiful speech. >> those of us that have more yesterdays than tomorrows tend to care more about our children and grand children. the reason you should elect her is that in the greatest country on earth, we have always been about tomorrow, your children and grand children will bless you forever if you do. >> trevor: i just like there is some guy right now going my children and grand children will bless me forever, sounds nice but i already bought the hat. >> trevor: it was a really emotional night, it was a really beautiful, powerful, emotional night. i mean nothing could ruin it. i-- yes,-- look, there was-- one weird thing. >> if you were as energized as i was and am right now-- take out that phone, fire up that laptop,

pry that ipad out of your kid's hands and go to hillary clinton.com and give what you can. even $1 can make a difference. >> trevor: look, guys, i know you need funding to run a campaign, but you can't bring out movie stars to an arena named after a bank and have them ask the rest of us for the money. i mean come on! come on! you have some money. you have to admit, you have some money. mer ill streep is not staying at an airbnb, i know that. i'm not saying don't ask for money. but at least show me that you need it enough with the movie stars, why don't cut away to chuck sheumer in a garbage can or something, you know. the reason bernie raised $200 million was because bernie sanders looked like he owed someone $200 million. people saw that guy-- people saw that guy and everyone was like damn, damn, i got to help this

dude out. i've got to-- i mean i have $27, is that enough? look, democrats, you should need zero dollars to win this race. because when you look at the two candidates side-by-side, it is embarrassing that this is even a contest. and i know, i know-- (applause). >> trevor: i know people will try and say oh, no, no, it's all about objectivity. yes, and any objective person can see that of the two options, one is not an option plawtion plaws. >> trevor: one is not an option. there are basically two life boats. one we have seen float. it's weathered many a storm and yes, it sprung a few leaks, metaphorically speaking. the other life boat is made out of cheese dood els. (laughter) and it has a shark in it. and it is on fire. and it's underwater and its name is donald trump and it's show currently leading in the polls,

people! which baffles me. because even if we remove-- no democrat, no republican, none of that, just two human beings, person one versus person two, and you know what i am not even going to do it. this is what their friends and the people who have known them forever, these are the best things that their people could say about them. >> when hillary graduated from law school, hillary went undercover going door to door, school to school, investigating discrimination. >> everything my father does is first class. he loves real estate. he loves building the greatest projects in the world. >> she also started the first legal aid clinic in northwest arkansas. >> it was a building called the ge building. i didn't like it. i said donald, stay away from it. he bought it. made 2 or 300 million on the deal. that's what he does. >> after intense shuttle diplomacy with israel, the palestinian authority, egypt, she did it. a ceasefire. >> donald transformed a landfill into a championship public golf

course. >> hillary introduced a bill, signed into law, that helped first responders get the benefits they earned. >> donald trump purchased a weinery in 2011, making it a world-class destination and the largest vineyard in virginia. >> trevor: yeah, that's right. now ask yourself, where would we be without the largest winery in virginia. where would we be, people. we would be forced to drink wine from other states or even, the second largest winery in virginia. and let's stop acting like a few of hillary's failures define and tarnish her very successful career. for instance, in 20 12-rbgs hillary broke erred a ceasefire between israelis and palestinians. do you know how hard it is to get those people to stop

fighting? it is almost assed assed about s eagles and giants fans. this is how mondaymentus it was. but look, if we are being on swrekive, we should look at bots sides, yeah. what was donald trump doing around the same time. well, it turns out he was dealing with a different international cries i while hillary was handling peace in the middle east he was tweeting at robert pattinson that he should dump kristen stewart for cheating. yeah, seven tweets, inct fa. seven tweets. if that's not commitment, then i don't know what is, people. that is commitment (applause) (applause). >> trevor: and look, if you were interviewing these two for president, you would probably look at hillary's resume and be like oh, i see you have quite a lot of experience here. oh, and you have also lived in this very office, oh. that's very impressive. and then you would look at donald trump's resume and be like oh, i'm sorry, sir, we're looking for a president. it looks like you're applying to be america's racist landlord.

u m-- u m-- (applause). >> trevor: now don't get me wrong. don't get me wrong. i'm not saying hillary clinton is better than donald trump at everything. no. for instanceness, if america needs golf courses, then you can call donald trump, if america needs more buildings with the name trump on them, then you call donald trump f america needs another reality tv star, you know who to call. fanned america has dropped something between its car seat and that elbow thing in the middle, you call trump because his hands are the perfect size to fit in there, and get the thing out. but for president, but for president of the united states, we shouldn't even be having this discussion! and one of the most compelling reasons, one of the most compelling reasons why, just happened today. and we'll talk about that right after the break. we'll be right back. (applause)

(applause). >> trevor: welcome back to the daily show. now we were just talking about the two choices in the presidential election. it's basically a choice between grandma nixon and the fifth horseman of the apocalypse. like i said, it's really no choice at all. one of the clearest examples of that came in just today. we're in the middle of the democratic convention. all eyes on hillary clinton. and you know how when a toddler feels like someone else is

getting the attention that he should be getting, so the toddler starts banging pots and pans and vomiting to see if it will get a reaction? yeah, well, imagine if that toddler could call a press conference. yeah, once again, donald trump grabbed the spotlight. and this time not for tanning purposes, no. he used it to address concerns that the russian government may have orchestrated the dnc leak. so all we wanted to hear were trump is that he is not working with russia to sub vert the american election. >> i will tell you this, russia, if you are listening, i hope you are able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. let's'-- let's see in that what happens-- that happens, what be will next. >> trevor: are you [bleep] me! did this-- this guy, a man running for president just asked russia to hack america.

do you know, for a person who is claiming bring jobs back to america, he sure started outsourcing them real quick. (applause) so let me understand. so donald trump called on a foreign nation to commit a crime in order to hurt his political opponent. this is what happened, people. in real life, it's not a matter of interpretation. an here's why this worries many people. because during the campaign, trump has called to change american foreign policy in a way that directly benefits russia. on multiple occasions he said he wouldn't necessarily intervene if russia invaded a nato ally. on monday he said that the u.s. should have abandon a bunch of countries that have always been in line with the u.s. against russia. >> they have to pay. they got to pay. we're protecting germany, nothing but money. when i talk about reopro tect japan, which is great. you always have to be prepared to walk. oh, we may have to walk.

>> trevor: you know, the fact that you can interchange a donald trump quote with a drunk bus driver, should make americans very afraid. you always have to be prepared to walk. we may have to walk, folks. sorry, we may have to walk. (applause) it's almost hard to believe he's saying this stuff outloud. it's like you have ever seen that movie the manchurian candidate, about a russian mole who is brain wawshed to run for president. trump is like ifed manchurian ran as the manchurian candidate. so-- (laughter) so because of all of this-- because of all of this, reporters are, if you can believe this, actually starting to ask questions of trump and his russian linked campaign manager paul manafort. like for instance whether donald trump has any financial ties to the russian government. >> trump tweeted yesterday that

he has zero investments in russia. but does russia have investments in trump? would mr. trump be willing to release his taxes to provide transparency on this issue? >> if mr. trump has said that his taxes are under audit and he will be not be releasing them it has nothing do with russia. >> mr. trump has no financial relationship with any russian oligarchs. >> if that's what he said, that's what i said. that is what my position is. >> trevor: that, that, that-- that, that, that-- that, this, that, that, this, is, is, that, that, that is what-- remix. here is how we know manafort is shady. when this same guy was asked about trump's investigation to the e-mail hack, he responded like a guy whose wife had caught him sexting another woman. listen that answer. paul manafort, are you cheating on me! >> we, we-- we have no relationship, this is an absurd attempt by the clinton campaign-- it's absurd, and, you

know, no is ba is to it. >> trevor: the allegations are absurd, interesting way to put it. because remember when melania trump plagiarized michelle obama's speech, remember that? well, before the trump campaign admitted it, here is what manafort said. >> to think that she would do something like that, knowing how screut niezed her speech was going to be last night, is just really absurd. >> trevor: oh, that thing that definitely happened was also absurd, absolutely absurd. smart, actually. because when you think about it, absurd doesn't mean untrue. it just means ridiculous. yeah. platypuses are absurd, but they still exist. so manafort is right. he isn't saying the russia accusations are false, he's just acknowledging that all of this is bad [bleep] crazy. (applause) but, but since the allegations are so absurd, trump felt the need to take the podium and

reiterate how absurd they are. >> it is so far fetched t is so ridiculous, honestly i wish we had that power. i would love to have that power. will you russia has no respect for our country. and that's why-- if it is russia, no one knows, it's probably china. >> trevor: i'm sorry, what? it's probably china? america is about to elect a president who treats foreign affairs like a game of clue? it's probably china with the computer in the library? what do you mean probably china? (applause) up to this point, up to this point nobody else had mentioned china. no one had mentioned china in connection with the e-mail hack. nobody. most people in a position to know said it's russia. but after about 30 minutes, donald trump then said this. >> we done even know who it is. i heard this morning, one report said they don't think it's russia, they think it might be

china. >> trevor: i'm sorry, you heard this morning. you were the one who said it! how do you say that, oh, i heard, i heard this morning. i heard this morning, when i said it myself. you can't do that, sir, you can't do that. you can't cite yourself as a source. and you know how i know that, because someone said it earlier in this show. me, i said that. you can't cite yourself, it's like editing your own wikipedia page, what the hell is wrong with you. this is [bleep] is getting scary. i don't understand how some people say they can't see it. because donald trump is almost like global warming right now. people are trying to deny that it's real. they think it's something we can worry about later. but it is happening right now. and it also involves a lot of cow [bleep]. so again, again, this should be no contest. because let's look at if, let's be honest, flat out, republican or democrat, the worst-case scenarios, with hillary clinton,

worst-case scenario, you have a bad president for four years and america has had bad presidents before. you will get through it. but america, you have never had a donald trump before. a man who claiming to be leader of law and order and make america safe candidate, that man who invites foreign hackers to steal files that he himself to contain american national security data, that man, that say leader you have never had. a man who publicly admires and now possibly colludes with vladimir putin. i man who is lovingly endorsed by kim jungun, a man who praises and doubles down on praising saddam hussein. these are his role models. and these people, what you have to understand, once they are in power, they don't go away. you don't get a chance to vote them out in four years. their rule ends when the country ends. so to all the people out there considering voting for trump, i hope you enjoy your vote, because on days like this, you realize, this could be the very last vote you will ever get. we'll be right back.

(applause) >> thank you, right here? hi. (applause). >> trevor: the people love you, senator. >> i think they love you. >> trevor: no, no, they love you. they love you. thank you so much for being on the show. >> i'm delighted. >> trevor: it must be quite an occasion for you because you are not just coming at this as a

senator from new york who is in the democratic party. but hillary is someone that has been in your life from the beginning of your political life. >> yes. hillary truly has been my greatest role model and men toker an when i decided to get involved in politics it was because as first lady, she gave that speech from beijing and said women's rights are human rights and human rights are women's rights. (cheers and applause) and for me, i was just a young lawyer pushing paper in new york city. and i noticed that that was such an important statement. such a powerful statement. and i have been an asia studies major. i lived in beijing, i lived in those dorms. i studied chinese. so i thought this woman to say those things from that place was so powerful. and i thought this is the conversation i should be part of. and that's when i decided to get involved in politics. (applause). >> trevor: now you often hear people say oh, nothing gets done

in politics, what's the point. the system is against you. the whole thing doesn't move. is there really any, i guess advantages that something could be gained from getting into it yourself? why would you encourage young people to get into politics. >> without a doubt. i think for all of your viewers, their voices are so important. as you said, this election is the most important election and most important choice we're going to have in our lifetime. the entire tra jectory in our lifetime will be determined by this election. >> trevor: and possibly the world. >> yes, if you care about women's right, if you care about gay rights, if you care about equal fai more equal work, if you care about paid leave, clean air, clean water. these two candidates couldn't be more dirchlt and hillary clinton is going to lead this country in a better direction. (applause). >> trevor: it is interesting that you bring up paid leave. that is one of the biggest discussions that americans are still struggling with. which is weird for a country that is leading the world. paid family leave seems obvious.

for someone out there who goes why is it so important for us to get family leave what are you saying to them? >> we are litly the only industrialized country in the world that doesn't have paid leave. so if you are going to be a new parent, new mom, new dad, and not to have a sick day or a vacation day, not even have one paid day to give birth, it's unconscionable. and for so many women, 12% of women in america today have access to paid leave. the rest of them, they don't have the time off, so if they want to be with their infant, they're going to have to either quit their job or find some care for that child, a mother, daycare, something to see it work. it's just not conceivable. and it's bad for the economy. women lose about 320,000 dollars in their lifetime, in pay and retirement because they don't have paid leave. >> trevor: it's interesting you say that because i vnga trump at his convention before he came out on stage. >> said it was a good idea. >> trevor: made it her platform, really, talking about. >> paid leave, equal pay, things that are really important.

and what i was so pleased about that, it makes a difference that at least at the republican convention one speaker said we need paid leave in this country. that is so important because there is something we all have to fight for. it is not a democratic idea. it's not a rep idea. st a good idea, and it's the kind of thing we should move together towards actually pass in this country. (applause). >> trevor: an exciting time to be alive. i will say this, you are also a senator from new york who is a woman. so the next steps are, yes, yes, a bit of pressure srksz there? >> no, no. >> trevor: that means yes. that means yes. senator kirsten gillibrand, everybody. we'll be right back.
