we gotta bounce out this bitch. >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. (cheers and applause). >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show," thank you so much for tuning in, i'm trevor noah pie guest conservative commentator for the blaze and probably all over your facebook feed, tomi lahren is joining us, everybody. but first, do you guys remember mitt romney. do you remember him? no, no, no, no, come on, that's in the nicement i get it, he's superwhite, black people don't [bleep] but put up his real picture. there were a lot of mainstream republicans during the primary who were hashtag never trump. but romney, do you remember?

he outed them all. >> mr. trump is a con man, a fake. >> i wish everybody in the republican party had reject pld trump and chosen someone else. >> his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. >> i don't want to see trickle down racism. >> when it comes to foreign policy, he is very, very not smart. he has neither the temp iterment nor the judgement to be president. he's playing the members of the american public for suckers. he gets a free ride to the white house, and all we get say lousy hat. >> trevor: come on, it's a pretty cool hat, give him that, it's a nice hat. but well done, romney, that was the end of donald trump, yeah. but that right there is why romney is a-- he spent a year slamming trump and never once ditched his appearance. do you know how hard it is to ignore that looking at trump. do you know how hard to ignore the fact from the side trump looks like a full pelican. do you know how hard it is to not say anything about that. romney a is that guy. he ve mmente was against trump, he was never trump. but in the wise words of a

canadian fill os fear, you should never say never. >> it must have been quite a dinner. >> the long time rivals were greeted with applause as they entered the pricey french restaurant, the menu, garlic soup with sauteed frogs legs. >> on the side, conversation about romney. who called trump a fraud during the campaign. as a potential secretary of state. >> trevor: wow. trump and romney having dinner, smiling it up like chumps, can we just agree that white people are passive aggressive as [bleep]. you know you [bleep] each other but when you meet you are just like hey, jim, congrats on your promotion. >> oh, you saw that? ha ha ha ha ha. black people dopt play those games. you say that [bleep] for a year and then let's meet for dinner, be like what did you say about me? what did you say about me! light some [bleep] on my hat, is say some [bleep] about my hat!

going to be smiley, acting like are you friends, trurch and romney sat down for a meal and just take a look at the menu. the menu. young garlic soup. yes, a young garlic soup with thyme. i love that it is young garlic soup, classic trump, even his garlic needs to be young. what is that about the man. and sauteed frog legs. yes, well played, donald trump. all through the campaign taking pictures with kfc buckets, with taco bowls, the minute he wins he is like frog legs at jean-georges, that is the most elitist food there is. that has got to bother a few trump supporters at least. probably really going to piss off pepe the most. seriously, after everything i did for you, trump? but while trump is still deciding between romney and the world's angriest egg for secretary of state, he's already made his picks on some other key cabinet positions. so let's take a lack at some of these people in our new segment profiles in tremendousness.

>> i have the most dedicated people. >> i know the best people. >> we're going to use our best people. >> i have the smartest people in the world. >> i know guys that are so good. >> now one of trump's more important decisions has been his attorney general pick, jeff sessions f you are not familiar with jeff sessions he say senator from alabama, and a former alabama attorney general and his full name is actually jefferson bureaugard sessions the third. that is his real name, yeah. that is almost too southern. let's be honest. jefferson bureaugard, come on. that's like if my name was trevor giraffe apartheid safari mufasa the third. too much. to be fair, my middle name is mufasa but that is different. for more on jeff session gets' go live where jordan clep certificate standing by. >> thank you, trevor, thank you. trevor, jeff sessions is a great

pick for attorney general. i'm proud of trump for making such a bold choice. >> trevor: hold on, before we move on, what the hell are you wearing? >> oh, you know, trump doesn't trust the media so the only way can i get close enough to trump to we are without getting noticed is to dress up as a hot dog vendor. >> trevor: i don't think are you blending in. you look like you are selling hot dogs in the 1950s. >> well, that is where most of trump's policies come from so i thought i would fit right in. and that and the costume store is still empty from halloween. either this or a slutty minute on. lord knows i don't have the hips to pull that one off. >> trevor: that's true, your hips lie so hard, anyway, let's talk about this, a lot of people are worried about jeff sessions, he is so anti-immigration. between him and trump, where does this end? there thrb mass deportation of illegal immigrants. >> well, sure, some people might call it mass detor -- deportation while others call it opening up late night hosting opportunities for hardworking legal americans. >> trevor: i keep telling you, i'm not illegal. >> that's not going to matter in a couple of months.

>> trevor: what about the allegations of racism, jeff sessions is denied a federal judgeship in 1996 because he allegedly used the "n" word and may aid joke about liking the kkk. >> come on what white guy hasn't been accused of being racist for making a joke. i joke about the kkk all the time and i also go to the rallies t doesn't make me a racist. >> trevor: i think it makes you a member of the kkk. >> member, grand wizard, these are all just words. don't be so sensitive. >> trevor: but jordan, here is my biggest problem, jeff sessions is on the wrong side of voting rights. he supported voter i.d. laws which we know unfairly tar et god minorities and poor people. he seen said it was good for the south when the supreme court struck down a key portion of the voting rights act. >> come on, trevor, stopping people were voting, half of americans don't vote anyway. he's prakly doing them a favor. think about it. to vote you have to get time off work, wait in line for hours, now i've got to choose who is going to represent me for the next four years, have i to talk to that little old lady at the

polling mace which i hate. i told you, mer ill trk was just a one-time, okay, a three time thing. and it took me a week to wash that lavender scent off. >> trevor: jordan, i condition believe you would defend jeff sessions. >> trevor, i have to go, stephen bald win is coming in the trump sto we are, wait, that is just a pile of wet socks. i'm going to did there go there anyway, mr. bald win, mr. bald win. >> trevor: thank you, jordan, jrd an klepper, everybody. we'll be right back. i don't understand.

trevor. >> trevor: i'm not a lion at all, is that like an african thing, no. welcome to the show. before we get into it, i know who you are. because my facebook feed has new it. there are a lot of people without don't so if you don't know tomi lahren 24 say little stais taste of her show. >> the protesters are still out in force, so let's be honest. they are not protestors they are cry babies with nothing better to do than me ander on the streets with their participation trophies an falsz sense of purpose this isn't for hillary. i'm not even sure this is against trump t is the same thing we have seen time and time again with these so called protestors and demonstrators. it started with the occupy wall street brats. moved on to the more militant overtly aggressive black lives matter more crowd, cycled through the dnc paid violence instigators and now here we are november of 2016 with president-elect donald trump and a crowd of misfit babies from every failed movement sandwiched together it become the largest group of whiners the country has ever seen. >> trevor: all right. >> which covers it, doesn't it,

trevor. >> trevor: quick question, like why are you so angry? >> i'm actually not that angry. it's just there are things that need to be said, trevor. a lot of people are afraid to say them. >> trevor: in an angry way, you can't say are you not angry and this is what you are known for. it is a strange thing to say i'm not angry but that is the one thing-- it's like ellen saying i don't like dancing. yeah, you do, ellen, you do. you are angry about everything, it seems. >> sometimes you just need to be called on [bleep] >> trevor: when you say [bleep], what in particular. here is the thing. >> when you are protesting a fair and free election, that is to me, you get called in your [bleep] a little bit. it's a time to clear the streets, accept reality, time to move on, time to make america great again. >> trevor: you consider yourself a conservative. >> i do. >> trevor: okay. >> i mean a millenial so i don't really like labels but m con serb tiff in thought. >> trevor: sorry my brain, you just gave a label to say you don't like labels. but anyway. >> we exist on a spectrum, trevor. would you consider yourself a liberal. >> trevor: that was just funny, just funny, a funny

moment. >> i'm a millenial, it shouldn't surprise you. >> trevor: it's funny. in terms of black lives matter, like you know, you have quite a record. for somebody who is not racist, you have to spend a lot of time saying i'm not racist. what is your biggest issue with black lives matter? >> i think and i've said this many times, it started with good intentions. i think it was. it was well-intentioned. the moment that they started pushing hands up don't shoot which is a false narrative proven time and time again to be a false narrative, the minute that became their slogan, the mib that protest iting turned into rioting and looting and burning and militant actions, that is when i lost respect for black lives matter. >> trevor: okay but here is my thing. let's address each of these one by one. when you go protest, turning into rioting and looting, that is not a black lives matter phenomenon. that is what happens when there is a protest a lot of the time. there are people who rioted and looted when teams won in chicago years ago. it doesn't mean that they are now bad people that is what

happens. there are some bad people in every instance going back to black lives matter, though, for you to say that, you say they have good intentions, they had the good intentions. how are you labeling out the actions of a few and condemning an entire group? i don't understand that. >> because they subscribing be to the black lives matter movement. they say we are the black lives matter movement, fry them like bay con, f the police. they are saying those things. >> trevor: these are a few people, this is not the black lives matter protest-- that is not the platform though. >> i thought in my city of $as am i saw what a black lives matter protest looked like. i saw five fallen sphefers because of it. >> trevor: that is not fair, and that is true. >> no, no, st favor because the shooters say point blank shooters said he is doing this because of black lives matter. >> trevor: and there are many things you can say, i mean if you go outside, you can say anything about doing something because you cannot deny that the man had mentdal issues as well and he was in a tough place, just because you say the thing doesn't mean it is what it stands for, right? because you are the same person, you are the same person who argued on your show that just because donald trump has supportedders from the kkk

doesn't mean is he in the kkk. (applause). >> trevor: you can't say. >> he, the shooter said i am-- . >> trevor: but black lives matter never said go out and shoot people. i am saying are you saying this to your audience. i do not understand where you getting that from. what if somebody says i fell emboldened by tomi lahren so i went out and shot black people. are you now responsible. >> but it's not -- it's not one or two people. if you look at it -- >> trevor: how many people. >> every city, look at the protest its that have gone on in baltimore n ferguson n new york sticker the protests that have turned to antitrump protests. these are not a few people, this is mass crowds of people. >> trevor: okay. >> they are doing it in the name of michael brown, of freddie gray, they are doing it as the front of black lives matter. and the mainstream media is emboldening these people. >> trevor: use that same logic are you using and then go police, are the police racist because police in many cities you look at baltimore, you look at what happened in new york, you look at what happened in the case of walter scott, you tell me are police racialist because they have been shown to harass

black people unfairly, they have been shown to shoot black people when they are unarmed, does that mean the police are racist, because that is the same logic you are using. >> it is really not, because the mainstream media is not emboldening them as a group. did you know that a black man is 18.5 times nor likely to shoot a police officer than a police officer is to shoot a black man. no one wants to talk about it. >> trevor: here is the thing. so let me ask you this then. if you say as you said when you walked out, i'm not as mean as people think i am. i am not the person people think i am, what do you wish people would understand about you in another bubble. what do you wish. >> i wish that we could disagree with each other without thinking that we are bad people or il intentioned folks. so because i criticize a black person or i criticize the black lives matter move, that doesn't mean i'm antiblack. it does not mean that i don't like black people or that i am a racist, it means i'm criticizing a move. i criminal sighted kol inkaepernick t doesn't mean i don't believe in his first amendment rights it means i

believe in my pirs rights to criticize him. it it doesn't make me a bads person or racist so point out. i never used racial slurs to address people, i never looked down on people because of their skin color. to me true diversity is diversity of thought, not diversity of color. i don't see color. i hillary clinton is as white as they come. >> trevor: you don't see color, so what do you do at a traffic light. i don't believe in that at all. when people say that. there is nothing wrong with seeing color. it is how you treat color that is more important. >> are you right, it is. >> trevor: here is my thing. like all these points that you make are great, and do i believe that you believe them. and i don't believe anyone is actively trying there are a few people trying to be bad from their point of view. but when i look at what you are saying, you say you are not pushing a racist narrative, are you not, you are criticizing, do you really believe are you criticizing and not mal intentioned when you say things like black lives matter is the new kkk. you realize black lives matter cannot be the new kkk. the kkk is still around. this he have not vacatedded their premises and most

importantly to say black lives mat certificate the new kkk is to be like really, really minimize what the kkk did and what they stand for. that is not the same thing. surely you understand the incendiary-- feeling of your comments. you know that, surely. >> it's controversial but i think there are some things that need to be said and when the black lives matter movement is going out with signs saying fry them like bacon, f the police. when you see go out, if you see a white person target them. that is happening, it happened in milwaukee not too long ago. when that becomes the narrative and you are starting to loot, burn and riot what did the kkk do. >> trevor: we'll go around in sicialg, did you say what did the kkk do. >> what did they do. when you are saying-- listen, listen, trevor. >> trevor: wow, wow. >> when you are saying when there are people in the street saying if you see a white person, beat their ass, does that not sound reminisce ibt of the kkk or their motives to you. >> trevor: is that the narrative of black lives matter or are there people who are saying that within a crowd of other human beings. there is a distinction between a movement and the people, that is

something that we keep coming back to. but let's go back to what you are saying on colin kaepernick and the national anthem. this is something i don't understand, and i watch your videos, i go i truly do not understand. you say colin kaepernick is exercising his first amendment rights and are you exercising your first amendment rights in criticizing him. so what you are saying is you have the right to say anything you want, so shut up. >> no, not at all. i'm saying i don't agree with what he did. i think that he went about it the wrong way. i don't think-- . >> trevor: what is the right way, when people say that i'm fascinated. what is the right way, here say black man in america who says i don't know how to get a message across. if i march in the street people say i'm a thug. if i go out and i protest people say it's a riot. if i bend down on one knee than it it is not-- what is the right way, something i always wanted to know. what is the right way for a black person to get attention in america. >> trevor, taking it out on our flag and our national anthem to me-- . >> trevor: but how. >> why would you take out your

perceived oppression of black people out on the national anthem and our flag. a country that you live in, a country that you benefit from, a country that people of all races have died for. have died to protect, have died for the vote, died to be enfranchised by this nation. how do you then go and disrespect the flag and the anthem of that country. why is that the outlet. >> trevor: maybe you are a person who lived and read through history and you realize that a lot of those people of every color who died for this country, some of them didn't have the rights that their fellow servicemen had when they came back to the country after fighting. maybe are you one of those people who realizes that the pennal system in america was designed to oppress black people, it was designed to enslave people t is a relic of slavery, maybe you are one of those people. what i don't understand, a guy knee kneeling in the corner, i don't understand why that offends you so much, it is not like he is even trying to skinning over you, oh say me see-- no, he's not doing anything that feaks youment i don't understand why it ets go you. i genuinely don't.

he is in a rn coulder kneeling by himself. why does that offend you so much. >> for me i know what that flag means to me. i know what that flag means to those fighting for our country right now it is bigger than a piece of cloth it is a symbol of patriotism, our national an 24e78 meant a lot to a lot of people and got people through hard times. in this country it has its scar, wound and history but i still believe it's the grattest nation on earth and if you live in this country, you want to better it it it. to disrespect our flag and anthem in that way and that be your outlet to get out whatever aggression you have, whether it be passive or active aggression, i disagree with it. and so he has every right to do it. that is his first amendment right and i agreement agree with his first amendment right to do it. i don't agree with what he did. now i should out sh up because i'm white i should shut up. i shouldn't be able to talk about black issues because i'm white. >> trevor: no one brought up whites at all. i never said that, i don't see color, i-- i don't think that that is what the argument is. what i am saying is i asked you one question and that is how should a black person bring up their grieveances hark is all i asked, how.

if that is not the right way, if marching isn't the right way, what is the right way? >> when you talk, when what he said was he is protest the anthem and the flag because of the oppression of black people in this country. i would like him to further explain what he is talking about when he is discussing the black oppression in this country, also s it against police, is it it against the government, mi not sure what oppression he is discussion. i would love to have him come on my show and discuss it with me. to me when you make the flag and you make the anthem, the outlet for your anger, or the outlet to which are you going to protest your country that you live in, you reside it in, that you take $19 million a year from, i don't think that that is the correct outlet for your anger. so what is he protest iting? >> trevor: again, you haven't answered my question of how, how you want-- i am just asking how. and i am asking you honestly. not in a challenging way, i am saying, i don't know the answer apart from these methods so i would like to say how, you are the first person i met who said

i have seen this message online. i'm not labeling you as the bad person, i just want to know if you ever thought of the how, that ask what i want to know. >> for me a lot of folks in the center, i being a woman, i didn't have rights after black people until women got the right to vote but because i feel like i'm a woman and i marginalized in 1078 way, i don't protest my country. i don't see what he is protest. i would like to know exactly what he is protesting it, it is a very-- . >> trevor: how do you protest then. >> i don't protection i'm not a victim. >> trevor: i guess we can go back and forth on a lot of these issues it's an interesting place to be in because honestly, you have won, you know, like your side has won as you say. the liberal snowflakes are melting in the streets as they protest. and now i would like to know from your side, genuinely, as someone who has won, do you believe that donald trump will follow through on his promises? >> i will be a vocal opponent if he doesn't. i am not somebody
