11:00 pm
>> 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, everybody! thank you, thank you! welcome to "the daily show"! i'm trevor noah! my guest tonight from the band hurray for the riff raff, linde lindalyndalee segarra is here. i'm so excited. a video from a police stop in arkansas. what you're about to see is shocking. >> if a police officer ever pulls you over, there's a way to prove you're stone cold sober.
11:01 pm
just try a little juggling. that's what an arkansas college student did after he got pulled over for having a broken taillight. ( laughter ) >> trevor: why are people having a good time in america? ( laughter ) the cops pull you over at night, and in the middle of the stop, you're, like, hold on, officer, let me reach into my car. let me reach into my car, officer. yeah, you relax. i'm just going to reach into my car. what are you getting? my white privilege. that's what i'm getting. that's what i'm getting, officer. that's watt i'm getting. ( cheers and applause ) juggling is such a white thing as well, when you think about it. no, the whole concept, you have so much stuff that, at some point, you're, like, i can't even hold all of this stuff. i'll have to throw some of it in the air! that's probably how jug lynn starred. someone was like, wow, you have three things, but only two
11:02 pm
hands. would you like to share something with me? no, no, no i'll figure this out. hey, hey, hey! ( laughter ) this is a relationship with the police many people do not have. i can tell you now black people would never try this at a police stop. can you imagine if black people were like, hey, yo, five-o, what's that behind your ear? oh, snap! check that! ( laughter ) ( applause ) this is in the middle of the stop. check out how comfortable this guy is. >> i actually have some juggling props if you'd rather see that. >> let's see it. whatever you feel comfortable with s. >> the only requirement, you have to get a video of me juggling while i'm pulled over. >> trevor: he's reading the cops their rights! ( laughter ) white people are having a good time in america. everywhere, on the road in arkansas, and definitely in the house in washington, where republicans recently introduced their plan to replace obamacare, a plan which has been as pop already as ted cruz
11:03 pm
at an orgy. ( laughter ) if you really wanted to do something you didn't want anyone to see you doing, where when and where would you do it? c-span at 4:00 a.m. >> all night healthcare fight, congress working into the early morning hours over the new bill to replace obamacare. >> we could end this and i will buy waffle house for everybody in the committee. >> that ways and means committee hearing went until about 4:30 in the morning this morning. they finally passed it on a party line vote late in the night last night. >> trevor: why are republicans in such a rush to repeal ork? 4:30 a.m.? no one's ever made a good decision at 4:30 a.m. no one wakes up the next day and goes, oh, (bleep), paul, did we fix healthcare last night? oh, man! that happened at 4:00 a.m.? oh, my god! ( laughter ) and, by the way, they say this was happening around 4:30 a.m.,
11:04 pm
but i'm willing to bet it was at precisely 4:20 because, just listen to this missouri congressman and how he made his argument against one of the obamacare taxes. >> you know there's a lot of taxes out there, but you could tax a lot of different items if you want to stop behavior. you know, i love ice cream. ice cream's probably not the most healthy thing to eat. why is there not a tax on that? you know what? if you look at the number one cause of skin cancer, it's not tanning beds. do a google search. it's the sun. (laughter ) >> trevor: who is this guy? you know what i think? i think we need to get this guy into the same room as jayden
11:05 pm
smith. you know, there's a lot of taxes out there -- ( piano playing softly ) >> -- but you can tax a lot of different items if you want to stop behavior. you know, i love ice cream. ice cream's probably not the most healthy thing to eat. why is there not a tax on that? you know what? if you look at the number one cause of skin cancer, it's not tanning beds. do a google search. it's the sun. ( laughter ) ( applause ) >> trevor: oh, man! oh! love that video so much. oh, but let's move on. you know, with all of the chaos and scandals happening right now, it's easy to think that everyone in america hates president trump, but if you don't count most people, donald trump's approval ratings are actually at a record high. ( laughter ) the reason for this is donald trump's not trying to be the
11:06 pm
president of everybody. he ran to represent one specific group. >> part of my whole victory was that the men and women of this country who have been forgotten will never be forgotten again. the forgetten men and the forgotten women. they're not forgotten anymore, folks. the forgotten men and women of our country will not be forgotten anymore, remember that. >> trevor: that's right. trump and his people will not forget you unless you are a russian ambassador. that never happened. ( laughter ) but with thanks to trump, the forgotten man lives again, so we figured why not celebrate everything president trump has already accomplished for them? please enjoy. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> now let me tell you a story a long time ago about a country called the u.s.a., a land once
11:07 pm
ruled by a cool black dude but now he was going away. the country was changing, healthcare was failing and jobs were going overseas, then man with a tan came along with a plan said only i can cure this disease. the forgotten man, the forgotten man, donald trump is your friend. the forgotten man, the forgotten man, you will never be forgotten again. the forgotten man. jordan klepper, everybody. thank you. now, everyone laughed at the businessman. they called him a media clown. said the president is coming from the clinton clan and paul ryan's going to take you down. but everyone forgot the forgotten man, because for getting them is nothing new, and now that they've got their man in charge, let's see what he's gonna do. >> since president trump took office, federal agencies and the republican-controlled house has delayed, suspended or reversed more than 90 regulations. >> many of the changes came after appeals by corporate lobbyists and trade association
11:08 pm
executives. >> okay -- i would have started with the people myself but i guess lobbyists are forgotten too and maybe they'll create new jobs getting rid of the pesky rules. probably not. never worked before. that's not what the song is about. i bet the deregulation will open the door to help the forgotten man out. >> president trump says loosening environmental regulations will be a boon to the coal industry. trump made it easier for coal mining companies to dump waste into waterways, this nixes an obama regulars laying put in place at the end of his term to protect rivers and streams. >> before you get mad about the extra pollution, let me tell you about what this means, more pollution means more goal, coal more jobs, who cares if they poison the streams because the forgotten man needs jobs not water, but also water, everyone needs water, humans are 70% water, we're water balloons with
11:09 pm
bones inside of us, hot damn! that's right. but trump's not the president of water. he came to help the forgotten man. the forgotten man. so what if he has nothing to drink. the forgotten man, the forgotten man, trump's doing more than you think, the forgotten man. >> president trump is beginning to loosen regularslations on financial institutions after meeting with several heads of wall street's biggest banks, the president signed a new executive order easing regulations, the order removes the fiduciary rule and will no longer require financial professionals to act strictly in the customer's best interest when giving advice about retirement accounts. >> we're trusting the crooks from the housing crisis to not screw us over this time? it's legal to give bad advice to make an extra dime? not a literal time. billions of dollars. i'm starting to think trump's
11:10 pm
pulling a con and don't have the forgotnan mind. >> the feral communications commission gave internet providers the go ahead to sell your personal information without your permission. >> the forgotten man, the forgotten man -- hold on, hold on, wait, what? trump is letting cable companies sell our browsing industry? that needs to stay forgotten! why would trump do this? >> i -- >> trevor: not now, jordan! if you say you're to forgotten man why would you priorities be the corporations? our browsing histories are for sale? browsing histories, i need to go delete something. i'll be back. i gotta go. ♪ we'll be right back ( cheers and applause ) what? my wireless company says

apprentice ratings, it's taking out climate change. an underground movement is trying to stop it. my first contact situating at an undisclosed location. score. as i just headed into the secret bunker, i could practically smell the pulitzer, or maybe that was urine. this place is creeby. this was take too long. what's the situation on the ground? >> all references to climate change are gone from the white house web site. trump has a war against facts. >> maybe we should hide them in a place he wouldn't look like in an intelligence briefing? >> we can't hide the fact. we need that information to build accurate climate models. >> this public climate data is stored on federal web sites like the e.p.a., n.a.s.a. and the department of energy and climate scientists depend on it for all kinds of research. now that trump is in charge these scientists are worried he will hide or destroy the data because he's threatened to do
11:15 pm
exactly that. you're telling me this data could be completely forgotten like taylor? >> what? >> just because you're part ofa tent poll movie doesn't mean you will have any relevance five years later. >> what we need to do is capture this data and make copies in lot of locations including in canada. >> canada? >> yes. we have a network of hackers working to keep this data safe. today we're having a hackathon in philly. >> i want in. these hackers were going to be more secretive than bethany. given the importance of the mission, i destroyed all traces of their existence. is that 3420 -- can you just put it in my phone? >> okay. >> to gain access to the hackers, i would have to become one of them. and the only way to be a hacker is to dress like a hacker. but like the rest of america, i hadn't rollerbladed in 16 years.
11:16 pm
either way, time to meet the code freaks at their secret underground lair. i'm looking for the hackers. >> we're the hackers. >> seriously? >> yep. >> i thought you would be dressed a little bit cooler. you know, like this. tell me ability this hacking (bleep). >> so what we're doing is sending urls to the internet archive. these are basically road maps through these massive government web sites and we're using these to find the data and send it to the internet archive. >> that was super boring. do you mind explaining that with a hacking montage? so basically what happens is these in other words scroll through every single publicly available url and document on government sites and make a carbon copy, but sometimes this data is hidden in ways that can't be saudi arabia by human in other words so they write code to burrow into the sites and rescue the data that's really hidden then release the data and backing up everything
11:17 pm
in canada if things get bad. that's where i come in. taking this data to canada to save the world. let's do this. with the data safely secured away, i began the long journey north. it wasn't easy, but after what felt like a lifetime, i made it to the airport for my almost hour-long flight to canada. time to head up my connect, code name poutine, a professor from university of toronto who had been collecting all this data who was feeling pretty ripe at this point. are you guys here for a qulan destined -- clandestined meeting? are you a shell? >> yes. >> here's the data from america. >> what is this? >> the hacked climate (bleep). >> we received this through the cloud. >> i didn't have to smuggle this thing up my ass? >> no, i'm sorry to tell you. >> are you kidding me? >> getting this data is a good
11:18 pm
start, but it's not enough. what we're seeing is the dismantlement of environmental science from a country that is one of the greatest contributors to climate change. >> are you talking about us? >> yes. >> she was right. while canada was snowing, america was burning. do you mind keeping a couple other things from america safe? >> okay. >> can you hold on to the bill of rights? birth control, meryl streep's oscars. i'll be back in four to -- let's just say eight years, to be safe. and just like that, it took an american to save the day. ♪ ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: thank you, jordan. we'll be right back! i am, um, very sorry.

the band riff raff whose album comes out tomorrow. linde linde! ( cheers and applause ) ♪ welcome to the show. >> thanks for having me. >> trevor: great to have you here. a new album coming out. before we get into the album, i was particularly interested in how this album came to be. it's a concept album based on your life. you have lived an interesting life. is it true that you used to ride trains around the country? >> yes, it is true. >> trevor: there is a term for that that i've never heard before, there is a specific term. >> train hopping. >> trevor: train hopping? >> yeah. kind of like woody guthrie style life. >> trevor: because in south africa, train hopping, people stand on top of the train and they hop around and sometimes they die. >> that's mostly in movies here. >> trevor: you weren't doing that? >> no. >> trevor: okay. >> i'm a scaredy cat, so i don't know how i did that at that age.
11:24 pm
i think it's only something i could do when i was 17, honestly. >> trevor: that is an intense story, you know, when you think about it. 17 years old, you leave the house and you go, i'm going into america. you're traveling out there. were there moments when you were terrified for your life? >> there were definitely moments where i felt like i really had to rely on my intuition. it ties into this idea of "the navigator" because i look back on that part of my life and i'm, like, how did i make it out okay? i had a really intense desire to be free and doing what i wanted to do and, you know, seeing the country, and i felt like i didn't want anyone to stop me. i was really stubborn. >> trevor: that's one way to be stubborn. i would play music loudly in my room. ( laughter ) you ended up in new orleans, and that's where you live now. >> yeah. >> trevor: playing music on the street there is a very different experience. you started, though, with, i
11:25 pm
guess, what jordan was trying to play earlier. >> the wash board. >> trevor: the wash board. was jordan playing it right? >> yeah, i think the wash board is very -- >> trevor: you don't have to be nice. jordan can handle pain ( laughter ) >> no, i think what i loved about the wash board is it's not pretentious. you know, i felt a little intimidated about playing music. i was, like, i got rhythm, i can do this. so it opened my mind about music being communal and listening and having fun together. >> trevor: do you think it helped that you kicked it off in new orleans, playing in the street. >> yes. >> trevor: is there a different vibe or feeling around that? >> yes, it was very communal, you know, and i think a lot of people met me, they knew i was this kid just out on their own and they're like you're rough around the edges but you've got heart. so i don't think i would be writing the songs that i am now if it wasn't for going to new orleans, really. >> trevor: one of the themes throughout the album is of belonging. >> yeah. >> trevor: you grew up in a
11:26 pm
world where you are of puerto rican dissent but not from the island itself. >> yeah. >> trevor: did you struggle to find your place in the world, where you felt people felt you belonged? >> yeah, i think mostly what confused me was this outside idea of me, you know. i felt like i didn't fit into the media portrayals of puerto rican women. i didn't fit into some of the cultural aspects. i was listening to punk music and wanted to live this really bohemian life that i felt, from other people, it seemed like it didn't fit in with what a puerto rican woman was supposed to do. but this album really helped me come to terms with just being okay, being confusing to other people, you know, being i'm complicated and living in the middle of a lot of identities. >> trevor: it is a journey people are familiar are, living in the middle of identities, and
11:27 pm
then strangely enough finding a way to go back, like you've done. you've really actively become a part of the puerto rican community, especially when it comes to activism. >> yeah. well, i really dug deep, and i found a group called "the young lords" from the '60s who started in chicago. this activist group of young puerto rican kids who wanted to make their neighborhoods bet around take care of the kids in the neighborhood and they were very feminist and very intersectional. it was, like, this eureka moment, like that's where i fit in. >> trevor: it's a fascinating album. we're lucky you will perform it for us exclusively on the web. >> thanks for having me. >> trevor: alynda will be doing an acoustical performance for us, check it out at "the daily show".com and the riff
