- aw, shit! - aw, shit! captioning by captionmax www.captionmax.com >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: thank you so much for tuning in! welcome to "the daily show." i'm trevor noah. my guest tonight actor and academy award winning musician common is here! ( cheers and applause ) but now things we don't get to say enough, good news out of chicago. >> the longest drought in american history of sports is over. >> curse is dead. >> chicago erupting overnight.

thousands celebrating in the streets. >> the cubs win the world series! >> trevor: oh, yes! yes! you know, before last night, i had almost forgotten what joy looks like. everybody in america has been so tense and grim, even halloween this year people were walking around like -- well, zombies. do i feel bad for the indians defeated on their own land again. ( audience reacts ) though most native americans are okay this guy lost. (bleep) needs to chairntion people. ( applause ) one thing i loved was seeing the news and pictures of cubs fans celebrating. they were so happy, relieved. look at this -- wait. can you zoom -- is that roy wood, jr.? ( laughter ) >> you damn right it is! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: oh, it's roy wood, jr., everybody! >> you damn right it is!

>> trevor: our number one cubs fan! >> fresh from cleveland, man. >> trevor: i can't believe you came to work. you're still wearing the same robe. this is amazing, roy. you are back in new york. you can put the sign down, man. >> hmm m. you sound just like united airlines. captain going to tell me i need to put down the sign. not tonight! fly the plane, sully! >> trevor: you must have had an emotional night. >> it was grown-ass men brought to tears. cubs fans, this wasn't just for them. this was for the three generations of ancestors who never lived to see the cubs win the series. >> trevor: who were you there for? >> myself. i'm the only cubs fan in my family. >> trevor: now that you bring it up, you're from alabama, so how did you become a cubs fan?

>> because it came on tv. look, in alabama -- ( laughter ) in the '80s, only two baseball teams came on the tv, the cubs and the braves. i couldn't watch the braves because they came on at night and my daddy wanted to watch air wolf. what do you know about air wolf? >> trevor: i love that show. what's that smell? >> my lucky robe. i haven't washed it in a year. i had it on last night, fellow shipping with complete strangers. when the storm hit, the best part, the rainstorm started coming around the ninth inning, this robe sucked up all the water and i brought it back as a souvenir. look at this right here, man! ( audience reacts ) that is authentic game 7 precipitation! oh, yeah, man! i'm wringing this out. i'm going to sell this for a grand an ounce on ebay, man. this is concentrated victory! hit that. >> trevor: no, i'm good. >> all right, your loss, man. >> trevor: congratulations for

it. roy wood, jr., everybody. you guys are extreme. ( applause ) are you just going to sit there while i do this? >> yeah, go on and do your thing. don't worry about me. >> trevor: stay there. whatever. i don't know if you've heard but in five days there is a presidential election. some people will be voting for hillary clinton because it's the only way to stop her fundraising e-mails, and other people will be voting for donald trump because then they won't have to worry about voting ever again. ( laughter ) but some people say -- some people say they won't be voting at all because like a toddler at mealtime, they don't like their choices! well what those people need to understand is tuesday is not just about voting for a new president. the election will also decide which party controls the senate. this makes it a big deal because it makes a big difference because a president needs the senate's approval to do almost everything -- pass laws, ratify treaties, and the president can't appoint any federal judges

including a supreme court justice unless the senate agrees. if you have a president and a senate from two opposing parties, it's like having two parents who are not on the same page. the dad's like, we're going to disneyland, and the mom's like, no, we're not. and he's like, yeah, no, we're not. (bleep) bureaucracy. ( laughter ) currently republicans have a 54-44 majority in the senate, but this year thanks partly to the actions of a chewed-up piece of carrot cake, there is a chance that the democrats could take the senate back. so today we're going to look at some of the key senate races around the country, starting with illinois. yes, which sounds like the name of my tribal punk band illin' noize. it was a thing i did when i was young, a rock african thing,

(lion king) "naaaaaants ingonyaaaa..." >> at the end of african songs, why do y'all hold a baby in the air? >> trevor: plashin mark kirk isg to tammy duckworth. tammy is an army veteran who lost both her legs serving her country in iraq. the second is her family on her dad's side served in the military dating all the way back to the american revolution. but at a debate her opponent looked past all of that to focus on the fact that her mom is an immigrant from thailand. >> my family has served this nation in uniform going back to the revolution, i'm a daughter of the american revolution. i bled for this nation. >> senator kirk, 30 seconds to rebut. >> i've forgotten your parents came all the way from thailand to serve george washington. >> move on to the next question. >> trevor: whew!

that awkward pause brought to you by racism. racism, the taste of the old generation. ( laughter ) i like how, after he just said something racist and incorrect, he just sits there with his nailed-it face. you can even see the moderators looking at him like, are you done? is that really your response? he was going to be like, no, no, you're right. one more thing -- ching chong, ching chong, ching chong chong. i yield the rest of my time. ( laughter ) another race is mapping in north carolina where debroah ross is in a tight race with senator dick burr which sounds less like a name and more like something you get surgically removed by your urologist. dick burr sounds like a description of when you forget to wear warm underwear. dick burrrrr! ( applause ) he's also a senator and can't

aford to lose any votes which is probably why he shouldn't make jokes like this. >> north carolina inter richard burr apologizing after cnn obtained audio about him making a terrible jokes about gun owners shooting hillary clinton. >> didn't make me feel any better that i walked into a gunshop and there was a copy of rifleman on the counter, got a picture of hillary clinton on the front of it. i was a little bit shocked at that. didn't have a bullseye on it, but -- >> trevor: wait, wait, i'm not going to lie. i also agree with dick. i'm also shocked hillary is on the cover of a gun magazine. think about it. a strange place for her be. like jim gaffergan being on the cover of ebony. ( laughter ) what to be fair, burr thought he

was just talking to a small group of supporters in private. that's why he made a joke. but if there is anything we've learned this year, whatever you say in private will become public. like, i don't care if you go alone to the beach and whisper something into a sea shell. julian assange is on the other end oveon the otherend of the l. remember how i said republican candidates are having a trump problem. joe heck, pat toomey and kelly ayotte, they're in an awkward spot where they're trying to appease the half of their constituents that love donald trump without pissing off the other half that thinks trump is a racist soft serve machine that only dispenses diarrhea. it's a tight rope. that means it's about to get vague. >> are you going to vote for the guy? >> on november 8, i'll have a decision.

>> don't you think your constituents, the people of pennsylvania deserve to know if you're going to support the nominee of your party? >> i don't think my constituents care how one person will vote. >> will you point to him as a role model? >> i think certainly there are many role models that we have and i believe he can serve as president so, absolutely, i would do that. >> trevor: i, um, think, um, damn, kelly ayotte is like a malfunctioning westworld robot. because you see, in west world, they've got the robots. do you watch west world? >> that's white people problems. >> trevor: i don't know even know what that means. >> it's a fantasy world. ain't no black people going to go in a fantasy world and shoot, rob, stab, kill, if i do that, that's reinforcing stereotypes.

if i was in west world, i would just want to go there and manage a bank. that's my fantasy. just approve small business loans to minorities. ( applause ) >> trevor: i like that. that's admirable. so, look, people, remember, this tuesday, you're not just choosing between madam wikileaks and the sun burned tumbleweed, you will also be voting for the people who will determine whether the next president will get nothing done or almost nothing done. we'll be right back.

>> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show"! now, regardless of who wins the election next week, whether it be hillary clinton or a rainy can of fanta, one of them will need to start the process of forming an administration, assembling a team to help them execute their vision for the country. generally, a lot of those people have already been part of the candidate's campaign staff, working with them already and just transition into the white house. but who are they specifically, what is the role they play day to day in the process? for months, "the daily show" has been requested back stage access of the campaign and only one team granted us access. i couldn't believe it either. tonight we bring you an exclusive inside look at one of the most infliewngs also of team trump. ( honking ) >> so for the first few months to have the campaign we really

struggled to find a speech writer, but then mr. trump found a young man who perfectly captured his voice. canada, next, of course, china. what do you think about trade, warren? >> we are not gonna be the stupid people anymore. we're gonna be the really, really smart people. >> that's -- that's great. >> we're going to make great trade deals. we're not going to be the tuned people anymore. we're going to be the really, really smart people. ( applause ) >> no, i realize that. he's got to say something about carrying or bringing air conditioning to mexico. 2100 jobs. it's our bread and butter. did you hear the news about carrier? >> no, we take numbers, do numbers! >> you get that? >> we're not going to let carrier leave. we're going to take numbers, we're going to do numbers.

>> win with economy. win with military! win with healthcare! so much winning! tired of winning! no! never tired of winning! win more! win more! >> we're going to win with the economy. we're going to win with military. we're going to win with healthcare. we're going to win so much you may even get tired of winning. we have to win more! we're going to win more! >> trevor: the great thing about warren is he doesn't pull punches. he's responsible for some to have the most stinging attacks to have the primary campaign. >> it's romeo! >> it's rubio! ( cheers and applause ) >> bing, bing, bong, bing. >> bing, bing, bong, bing. >> bing, bing, bong bong bing, bing. >> bing, bing, bong bong binghampton. >> bing bong bing bong -- >> warren is like any other blue blooded american patriotic.

he wants to make american great again. he wants -- >> i want chicken fingers. >> and chicken fingers. yeah. ( applause ) >> trevor: go vote. we'll be right back.

>> trevor: welcome to the show. welcome. welcome to the show. >> thank you for having me, man. >> trevor: welcome to the show, man. so good to have you here. i have been a fan of yours for so long rapping along. >> i love what you're doing. >> trevor: thank you so much. let's get straight into it. let's talk about the al album "black america again." it's one of those conversations america needs to be having right now. you're an artist. it's always a precarious decision to make. do you get involved in a conversation around race and politics and you've clearly decided, yes. why now. >> we know it's critical times right now. >> trevor: yeah. >> and i think, you know, the artist can deliver a lot of motivation and that's really what i chose to do because i feel like it's my duty. i have a microphone. i have on outlet to speak to multitudes of people. so i have to use this music for that. >> trevor: yeah, you have

powerful songs on this album. comes out at midnight. i'm waiting to get the album after midnight. but i've gotten to listen to some of the snippets and you have powerful songs speaking about everything going on, the shootings, police violence in chicago, in and around what we're seeing, even, you know, really calling out donald trump for what he's doing. >> yeah. >> trevor: when you're writing those songs, when you are thinking of that, what are you hoping you achieve? >> i'm hoping i activate in people -- i empower people to find truth in their freedom and also just, like, empower them to go out and be active to do more. >> trevor: yes. >> when i got a chance to be a part of the selma film and be a part of, you know, doing the song with john legend, glory, it was, like, it really pushed me to a new level of wanting to do more. one of the most difficult issues we have in the country is just humanizing black life, just

people seeing black life as, you know, this is a human being, like, these are -- we have millions of people in jail right now and the majority of them are black and brown, and they're not treated as human beings, you know. and when we look at what's been happening in the streets when it comes to some of the police officers, you know, for you to shoot down somebody with their hands up you can't look at them as a human being because your life is not threatened, so why would you take someone's life? so i think -- i don't think for me, creating music and art, you don't have to preach it, you just be it. you just let it be present, like black america again is not only about protest and justice and injustice, but it's about hope and love and joy and expressing that and about spirituality. >> trevor: a powerful message. a really powerful message.

( applause ) you worked with ava duvernay on the film the "thirteenth." >> yeah. >> trevor: an amazing film. i suggest everybody watches it, about mass incarceration in america. you talk about that story. mass incarceration seems like a coincidence, a mistake. then was it as shocking for you to see how it was all laid out, how it was planned, in essence? >> when i saw the "thirteenth" and i was, like, ava duvernay connected the dots and it's something that i think we all need to know as part of american history. it may not be the side we want to acknowledge, but it has happened from slavery to jim crow to mass incarceration, it's been a way to keep black people as second-class citizens, and it's something that we need to be awakened to. and the "thirteenth," i'm grateful i got to write a letter to the free because, in my heart, i feel like, man, we deserve the equality and people

that are deemed as criminals deserve forgiveness, deserve redemption and deserve a second chance, and that's why i was grateful -- you know, i actually saw ava -- i told her i wanted to do the song for the film and she was like, okay, cool, you can submit the song, you know, i'll check it out. and then i saw her. i was at the white house at president obama's birthday party, and i came up to her, i had a little wine -- ( laughter ) -- and i walked up to her and i started just rapping the song in her ear. i started writing before i even seen the movie, i knew the spirit of it. i was rapping in her ear. she was listening but i could tell she was a little distracted. she said she was trying to figure out whether to listen to the rap or pay attention to the president and first lady. she eventually listened to the rap and that's how i got to be on the project. >> trevor: thank god for wine and president obama's birthday

( applause ) excited about what you're doing and the album. "black america again" will be available midnight tonight, you want to download that. common, even. we'll be right back!
