desk. that's not a woman in power. it's talk your daughter to workday. ( laughter ) don't get me wrong, it's a love lovely instagram photo. i think she probably used the nepotism filter. #woke up like this with a rich dad. ( laughter ) what makes this annoying is 3 million more americans wanted a woman sitting behind that desk full time. ( cheers and applause ) full time. not just for the photo op. but like ivanka said, this photo was taken during a visit with canadian prime minister justin trudeau who is acknowledged by people of all political leanings and sexual orientations as the finest world leader currently.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: yes! trump! trump! trump! donald trump finally draining the swamp of the people he brought to the swamp! ( laughter ) president trump is a genius, people! he hires a cabinet full of terrible people, fires them one

by one. looks like he's a man of action. drain-the-swamp down to the previous levels! drain-the-swamp down to the previous levels! not as catchy. con dollenses to whoever bet sean spicer would be the first to go. i was the same. ( audience reacts ) i know you didn't win anything. but for you who had flynn, your prize is a gift certificate to chili's -- chili's, now hiring michael flynn. ( applause ) how big is this story, the national security advisor fired after just three weeks! who could have seen this coming? >> a red flag was raised by late last month by then acting attorney general sally yates, yates telling the trump white house she believed flynn was available to russian blackmail. >> trevor: ah, russia! i forgot russia was a part of

the story. they're like the villain from the last season making a guest appearance now. ha ha! you thought i was de-ad! this is why you got written out of the show, man. this is not working. it makes sense. remember after obama put sanctions on russia for election meddling to help trump win? remember that? after that, flynn called the russian ambassador and told them not to sanction the u.s. back because trump was going to cancel american sanctions when he took office. that even sounds illegal. i don't even know the law. ( laughter ) sounds illegal. so president trump must have been so grateful to this sally yates lady who warned him of this major national security breech. i wonder what was her reward? >> president trump fired yates

last month after she refused to defend his controversial immigration executive order. >> trevor: ah, yes! of course! the great immigration ban of 18 three weeks ago. ( laughter ) so flynn, possibly, had an illegal conversation -- ( laughter ) -- with russian diplomats before trump was sworn in. but as with major scandals, there's always two parts, the crime and then the coverup. >> general flynn lied, got caught -- >> he was not straightforward with vice president pence. >> he had told vice president pence he never had that conversation. the vice president went out on sunday morning television shows and said he never had the conversation about sanctions. >> i talked to general flynn about that conversation, they did not discuss anything having to do with the united states' decision to expel diplomats or impose censor against russia.

>> trevor: look what you did flynn! pipes went on "face the nation" and told your lie! you lied to the vice president! the man in charge of -- ( laughter ) snacks? ( laughter ) no, what is the vice president in charge of, for real, though? is he -- oh, you guys also don't know? you're laughing at me. is he in charge -- anyway, the point is, flynn is out, and everyone should be happy about it because there were a lot of signs he was not the right person to be the national security advisor. just in this story alone, two things -- one, he didn't know that the u.s. government routinely taps calls to the russians which is stupid. that's the plot of every spy

movie, america taps russia's calls. everyone should know that. secondly, if his letter of resignation, he said he didn't lie to mike pence, he said he just couldn't tell pence the full story because of "the fast pace of events." not a valid excuse. just sounds like you're trying to tell someone a story and you were both on opposite trains and you couldn't tell them the story. i tried, i tried, i tried. ( applause ) get out of here, man. you can't say it was moving too fast for you. the job of national security advisor is almost only about accurately reporting and analyzing events at a very fast pace. you can't tell i.s.i.s., slow down, guys! i'm still talking about the other attack! so fast, come on! ( laughter ) mike pence lied to by flynn. the question is what do you do? what i love about this administration is they've already given us all the answers

on how to deal with their misconduct because this was flynn at last summer's r.n.c. >> we do not need a reckless president who believes she is above the law! ( cheers and applause ) ( audience chanting ) lock her up, that's right. if i did a tenth -- a tenth of what she did, i would be in jail today. >> trevor: amen, brother! preach, pastor, flynn, preach! ( cheers and applause ) so powerful in your principles! a tenth! i wonder what flynn with all his principles is doing right now? >> if you want credibility, maintain your integrity. protect your integrity. people will give you credibility. you have to give yourself

"the daily show"! so, obviously, the firing of a national security advisor michael flynn is a big story. details are still developing. so is the way republican officials are trying to weasel out of talking about it. it's really entertaining, like take for instance jason chaffetz, the house oversight committee chairman and the man michael jackson left his nose to. ( laughter ) now, chaffetz is the guy who should be formally investigating the scandal. should be. >> should there be a broader bipartisan, independent investigation into the administration's ties to russia? >> i think that situation has taken care of itself. >> trevor: oh, the situation has taken care of itself?

what kind of an investigator are you? chaffetz is like an exterminator who comes in the kitchen, turns the lights on, roaches run and he's, like, well, problem solved! easier than i thought. nothing to do here. ( laughter ) another interesting reaction from new york congressman chris collins. i've never heard of this guy before today, bu but i will nevr forget him now. >> you have no curiosity about this even though it deals with the heart of national security? >> well, to be honest, i just live in a world where i always move forward. in a busy world, you don't dwell on the last at this point in time general flynn decided to resign -- >> come on, congressman. it's valentine's day and for the love of truth you can't say you just want to move on. >> it's the world i live in. i call it a guess what now what world. guess what he resigned, now

what, we have a lot of issues to deal with. >> trevor: guess what, that's bull (bleep), now what we're going to make fun of your ass. we live in a guess what now what kind of a world. kind of like a douchebag "hakuna matata." guess what, simba, your dad died. now what? we dance! ha ha! ( laughter ) during a scandal like this, to be honest, there is only one person i want to hear from, because there's two ways to react to a story, the normal way and a con way. >> yesterday on msnbc you said michael flynn enjoyed the full confidence of the president. yesterday they were evaluating the situation and last night michael flynn resigns. were you out of the loop on

this? >> not at all. both were true. >> trevor: how does she do that with a straight face. kellyanne conway does not concede anything. she's like a character from alice in wonderland. every time she talks, i'm, like, am i on drugs? up is down, down is up? seriously, guys, you can't claim michael flynn had the confidence of the president and had to resign because he didn't have the president's confidence. it doesn't work like that. i feel like this whole trump administration is about having it both ways and you can't. think about it. every single scandal they have. they talk about the inauguration. they go, oh, it was the highest attendance of all time and people also didn't come because it was raining. the muhamad ban, oh -- the muslim ban, we're not anti-musms, we're just doing what obama did. but obama was for immigration. yeah, but we do it the way he

does. they're saying the opposite. the crackdowns. people are kicked out of the country at a rate we've never seen before. what do they say? no, it's not a crackdown. obama was deporting people, too. but you said obama was not deporting people, that's why you needed to be voted in. yeah, exactly. ( laughter ) can't have it both ways. you have to choose which one it is. you can't have your cake and eat it, too, you know why? because guess what? we have your cake. ( cheers and applause ) the viewers are going to tell us what to do wit. maybe we'll eat it ourselves or maybe we'll deport it to mexico. who knows?! maybe both are true. we'll be right back!

>> trevor: first of all, congratulations on everything you have been doing recently. let's talk about the grammys first. >> my dress. >> trevor: i saw you at -- it was a beautiful outfit. i saw you at the naacp image awards. >> yes. >> trevor: then at the grammys and, you know, you were doing a thing, had some great moves. then when you came out on stage, you threw it in out of nowhere, i didn't know what it was, but you said google, you said a name, and then the internet blew up. >> yeah. >> trevor: what was that? >> i said google gavin grimm, he's going to the supreme court in march, #stand with gavin. gavin grimm is a 17-year-old young man from glouter, virginia -- gloucester, virginia. he had to sue the departmen thef education to use the boy's bathroom because he's transgender.

can you imagine having to sue to be treated like all the other boys? we've seen hb2 in north carolina that criminalized transgender people using a bathroom consistent with our gender identity. over 50 bills introduced same. in texas a bill was provided, similarly they call it the privacy act that would also criminalize transpeople going to the bathroom. transpeople have been going to the bathroom for a long time. i don't know why it's a thing. >all of a sudden. >> trevor: now we know. that's the difference. crazy you say that. >> a very long time, without any issues. now all of a sudden it's an issue. i think first of all this is the first time the supreme court is hearing a case about transgender rights, the very first time. what's at stake is whether or not transpeople are covered by title 9 which bans discrimination based on sex in our educational institutions in title 7 which bans sex discrimination in the workplace

and public accommodation. these bills are not about bathrooms. it's about whether or not transpeople have the right to exist in public space. somebody in north carolina said i don't really think you want me in the p men's bathroom. maybe you do, i don't know. ( laughter ) i don't think you want me there. if you don't want me in the men's or women's bathroom, where do you want me to pee? somebody said pee at home. so these bathroom bills are whether trans people have the right to exist in public space. we have been here since the beginning of time and have the right to exist in public space. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: let's talk about the acting, the show "doubt." this is a fascinating and groundbreaking show. the fact your character is transgender just happens to be a part of who your character is. but the story is just a story about an attorney.

>> yeah. >> trevor: i'm sure that's a big deal to you, but why? >> being trans, i talk about it a lot because we're being discriminated against a lot so we high light that but it's not everything i am. what i love about the show is the couple are married and have a transgender in real life. they say tom is trans, but they also say he's messy and an actor and all these other things and all these other things are also what make us woo we are. we're not just one thing no. one is just one thing. so that really was exciting to me. people want me to read trans characters and i say, where's the trans thing? the "what else" is she's a really passionate attorney who's a yale graduate, who's good at what she does and has chosen to be a defense attorney for people

who are accused. it encourages the viewer to think critically about what justice means and that's something a lot of us are thinking critically about now. >> trevor: it's an interesting show. i'm so proud of you for doing it. look forward to seeing you on the screen again. "doubt" premieres wednesday february 15th,

show is a heinous crime. i wouldn't tell anyone at the end of the season of the walking dead that king ezekiel -- if you're not caught up on new zealand's long running, not-at-all-a comedy soap opera "shortland street," i'm very sorry to spoil the end of a recent episode, but i can't help it because this cliffhanger is fire af! check it out. >> the tablet syncs to your phone. please tell me that is not your penis. >> chris: ahh.
