didn't expect it to be white, did you? all right, pick a hand. good night. >> 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"! i'm trevor noah! thank you so much for tuning in! my guest tonight is an amazing man leading the naacp in north carolina reverend william barber is joining us, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) really excited to have a conversation with him. first, this weekend, 70 people killed and 50 injured in a terrorist attack that took place in london.

most leaders sent their con doll lenses through shame. >> the president of the united states in an open fight in the public air waves and on twitter with the mayor of london sadiq khan, the mayor quoted 70 dead and 40 wounded in terror attack and the mayor of london said there was no reason to be alarmed. that prompted a spokesman for the mayor to say he has more to do than to respond to donald trump's tweets taken out of context when he was urging londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police on the throats. the president took that as a slap on the face and said pathetic excuse for mayor sadiq khan who had to think fast on his feet. >> trevor: just after an attack on london he (bleep) on the mayor of london. he would be the worst person to visit you in the hospital.

you're suffering and donald trump (bleep) on you. like donald, the accident left me totally blind. at least you won't see your wife ever again! she's a two at best. donald, i still have chemo tomorrow. thank god, you always had the worst hair. ( laughter ) condolences. show support and move on. and if (bleep) on london's mayor wasn't enough president trump couldn't resist the opportunity to make a point about gun control. >> president trump has been tweeting about the attacks. >> we're not having a gun debate now because they used knives and a truck. this was a curious tweet. some people were confused by it. >> trevor: no a curious tweet is pope francis tweeting do you think my gay dog can get into heaven. that's a curious tweet. don't ask me, man. you're the pope. that's a curious tweet. as dickish as today might have

seemed, they were just tweets, unlike last week when trump's actions really raise add giant tiny middle finger to the rest of the world by pulling out of the paris climate change accord which is such a big deal it had the entire plant speaking one language. >> the leaders of germany, u.k., france and canada all calling the president telling him they are disappointed by this decision. >> make our planet great again. >> the decision of the u.s. so withdraw from the paris climate agreement is very regrettable and i'm expressing myself in a very reserved way when i say that. >> trevor: that's right. ( laughter ) the leader of germany expressing herself in a eserved way, which has has to do, she's the leader of germany. if you raise your voice, poland starts building bomb shelters -- oh, boy, here we go again! ( laughter ) trump's decision to back out of paris is a real blow to america's role in the world, and

what's crazy, he had no real reason to do it. he gave reasons but they were all bull (bleep). >> the president claiming the paris accord would cost the u.s. $3 trillion in lost economic activity and 6.5 million industrial jobs, but experts say that study has been widely deburvegd for making incorrect assumptions about america's role in the agreement. >> it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree -- think of that, this much -- celsius reduction in global temperature -- >> trevor: actually, you know what? the president is right. it's a tiny difference in temperature. tiny, tiny difference, but even something tiny can make all the difference in the world. for instance, a tiny change in dna can be the difference between ivanka and eric. ( laughter ) tiny difference!

( applause ) and, as it turns out, president trump isn't even right about the tiny difference because the actual increase in temperature could be three to five times as much as what trump is saying. it could more like 1 degree celsius which is 150 degrees fahrenheit. you can't prove that's not true because you don't use real numbers in this country. ( laughter ) joking aside, i know 1 degree still sounds insignificant, but as i always say, ladies, it's not about the size of the boat, it's about the motion of the rising ocean. >> that may sound small, but tiny temperature changes could make a big difference for island nations and coastal communities. it could be the difference between surviving or being underwater. >> trevor: you see, what you need to understand is small things can have big consequences. it's like putting one turd in a swimming pool. ( laughter ) now, that's a tiny fraction of what's in the swimming pool,

but, suddenly, everyone's screaming, and i'm no longer welcome at splash mountain! i bought a season pass! ( applause ) now, donald trump may have pulled the united states out of the paris climate agreement, but it turns out that when it comes to climate change, the states are not exactly united. >> at least ten states led by democratic governors are defying the president's decision. >> they're joined by more than 150 mayors pledging to uphold the paris agreement. >> california is launching its loan global coalition with canada and mexico and virginia set new standards for power plant emissions. >> trevor: california is like, hey, mexico, you want to roll? we're just doing our own thing, man. ( laughter ) shame, poor trump. he's like the guy at the party going, this is lame, let's go back to my room and listen to me play acoustic guitar!

the ten states say, we're going to stay, emmanuel macron is about to take his shirt off. ( laughter ) they would be the first hit. the sea levels continue to rise, they will be the first to. go except colorado. they're not at risk but they're so high they probably think the ocean is coming right for them. you just can't see it, man! it's hiding behind the mountains, dude! ( laughter ) so as much as the u.s. pulling out of the paris climate accord seems like a big setback, there is hope. states and cities will still honor paris, so will many major american corporations including several oil giants. and what's more, now that america has stepped out of the paris accord, the rest of the world may be able to reduce carbon emissions more the way they want to do it, because when paris was designed, it had to accommodate america's relatively pro carbon political reality, but that's no longer a factor. it's like the world came together to design a bathing

suit, right, and when the americans were in the deal, they demanded that things be at a certain level. but now, america's out, and europe can be, like, finally they are gone! now we can dress ourselves properly! let it out! ( applause ) and, by the way, by the way, if the world's buying new bathing suits, guess who's going to make a fortune selling them. >> other countries, smaller countries, developing countries looking for policy ideas, looking for guidance, they're going to have to turn to china as the party that remains in this agreement. >> china is investing more in renewable energy than the entire electric sector in the united states. china, we've just given them the opportunity to lead the world. >> trevor: that's right, for decades, american's -- america's president used to lead the world, and now it's up to china.

let's go places. classic hershey's; plus cookie bits; plus caramel. hershey's cookie layer crunch. a layered twist on a classic. "the daily show"! welcome back! so quick question, do you guys remember megyn kelly? you do? if you don't, she was the woman at fox who roger ailes sexually harassed -- well, one of them -- and last night was the premiere of her new show on nbc and she landed a blockbuster interview with russian president and

vladimir putin. ( laughter ) kudos to meg b, because she did not hold back. >> you have repeatedly and passionately denied that russia was behind the interference with our american presidential election, but, as you know, the consensus view in the united states is that you did. many americans hear the name vladimir putin and they think, he runs a country full of corruption, a country in which journalists who are too critical could wind up murdered, a country in which dissidents could wind up in jail or worse. to people who believe that, what is your message? ( laughter ) >> trevor: did you hear that throat clear? ( clearing throat ) i was waiting for him to be, my message, is would you like to have a drink of water? but it's not water... ( laughter ) you can tell that megyn kelly was getting under putin's skin. you could tell because he quickly went from friendly to

frenemy. >> there were no meetings. you understand? there were no meetings. i have no idea. i'm being completely honest with you. i don't know. that's complete nonsense. do you even understand what you're asking? well this is just another load of nonsense. have you all lost your senses over there? you people are so creative over there. good job. your lives must be boring. >> trevor: oh, wow! wow, your lives must be boring. wow! you know what i realized last night? a translator can really change how you view a world leader. normally i (bleep) my pants when putin speaks but this makes him sound like a russian mingo. your legs must be so boring, bitch, i feel so bad for you. for more insight, i turn to our very own michelle wolf, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) what's going on? let's get straight into it, what did you think about last night's interview? >> seeing someone so conniving, trying to manipulate the american public was disgusting.

>> i agree with you, michelle, vladimir putin is a slimy person. >> i'm not talking about putin. i'm talking about megyn kelly. >> trevor: what did megyn kelly do? >> last night on her new show, she acted like she didn't spend the last twelve years of here life as a soldier in fox news' culture war. listen to what she said about cable news, the place she used to call home. >> we've seen a lot of rude behavior in the news lately. >> you can yell all you want. >> you're the run yelling at me! >> we're actually going to cut your mic if you don't stop talking -- >> can't we all just get along? >> can't we all just get along? oh, i'm sorry, now we're all supposed to be friends? now that you're at nbc, you're acting peaceful like a mahatm a-blondie? before she was nbc's news megyn kelly, she was fox news megyn

kelly, a race-baiting puppet roger ailes kept trying to put his hand up. ( audience reacts ) oh, don't worry. she's on network and he's dead, they're both in better places. ( applause ) since megyn kelly doesn't remember what megyn kelly was like, here's a tiny reminder. >> let me explain how it works, i'm the anchor, you're the guest. >> you're bringing race into this. >> you clearly don't know what you're talking about. you cannot debate -- >> megyn -- >> he is married to a mexican immigrant! >> you sound like with respect, osama bin laden, you don't know what you're talking about. jesus was a white man, too. he was an historical figure, that's a verifiable fact. >> okay. first offer, jesus was definitely not white. he got the death penalty because one guy pointed at him.

if he were white, all he'd have to say, is uh, do you know who my father is? ( laughter ) ( applause ) i mean, megyn was the tonya harding of cable news for 12 years. breaking journalism's kneecaps over and over. and we were just the poor nancy kerrigan's being, like, why?! why?! and now you expect us to forgive you just because you made the olympics? i don't think so, tonya. >> trevor: michelle, no, it's funny, but i think you're being a little hard on megyn kelly. >> really? five months ago, she was part of the problem. actually, she was the keep of the problem. now she acts all high and mighty saying she doesn't watch tv news and only consumes news by print. this is like finding out ronald mcdonald only eats broccoli

raw. ( laughter ) and it would be one thing if megyn were owning her past but instead she's, like, who, me in oh, i never watch the garbage i used to put out. you're not the new barbara walters, you're the sprint-verizon guy who follows the money. i'm on nbc now, can you hear me now? maybe you thought doing this interview with president putin would be good because he's so skilled at making journalists vanish, but megyn, we still see you. trevor. %-@. mmm. let's get you cleaned up, before mom gets home. that'll work. dentastix cleans... so you can get closer. it's what busch is known for. what are you known for? i'm cool under pressure. what is that? a fish hook?

(chuckling) golly! [sfx: buschhhhh] why give it headlightsver on a like jewels? filled with them? a body that feels sculpted? why give it an interior where even the dash is cut and sewn by hand? it's simple: you can build a car. or you can build a cadillac.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is a civil rights leader, the founder of the moral monday's movement and is helping lead the new "poor people's campaign: a call for a national moral revival." please welcome the reverand william barber ii.

( cheers and applause ) >> thank you very much. ( applause ) >> trevor: welcome to the show. >> i'm glad to be here, trevor. >> trevor: i'm glad to have you here. it was cornell west, i think, who said the reverand william barber ii is the closest thing this generation will have to a martin luther king, jr., which is one heck of a compliment to give somebody. but what he was referring to was a person who is leading and is not involved in politics. some people would say to you, you're a reverend, why not just be involved in religion, why are are you getting involved in politics at all. why are you? >> first of all, not partisan politics, but the bible itself is political. the gospel is political and those who don't understand it actually push what i call a form

of modern-day heresy. he says the spirit of the good news is for me to preach the good news to the poor, those made poor by economic exploitation. moses stood up to pharaoh. it's about a group of people who find themselves in a time when a blonde-haired, blue-eyed caesar is on the thrown who likes to be in towers everywhere and put his face on everything. >> trevor: sounds familiar. >> and the 1 portion is taking everything from the 99% and they are called to stand up to that. jesus' first sermon. so i don't know any way to be a person of faith and not be concerned about how we're treating the poor, how we're treating the a least of these, w we're ensuring healthcare, how we are breaking the back of the prison industrial complex and how we are respecting all people regardless of their race, color,

religion or sexuality. >> trevor: you're doing this work in north carolina which has become a microcosm for everything america, is you have the imbalance between rich and poor. let's talk about the gerrymandering that inflicted north carolina. this is the fourth court case. >> fourth court case, third victory we've had on gerrymandering in the last three weeks and we had a major victory last year on voter suppression. north carolina's had an interesting history. not as progressive as people think. 2010, during redistricting, trevor, they went redistricting crazy. they created apartheid districts, right, and that stacked and packed black voters in a way that in the 2012 election, more progressives voted for progressives but because to have the redistricting we end up with a super majority extremist legislature. that extremist legislature then passes every law they could,

anti medicaid expansion, anti gay, 22 states passed racist voter suppression laws and racially driven redistricting laws, 57% of african-american votedders, 44 u.s. senators and over 50% of the united states congress, that started in 2010. i got a secret for you, it wasn't the russians! racism hacked this system before trump was ever elected, before he and putin got together. it was racism, racially -- racial germanderring an and ract voter suppression that set up the congress we have now and the people who got hurt most by the policies that have been elect bid these so-called what i call unconstitutional constituted legislators have been poor whites. >> trevor: let's talk about that for a second. one part of your message that constantly resonated with people seems to

be that you focus on that word "poor." you know, the new "poor people's movement." >> what doctor king said 50 years ago, he said we needed a radical revolution of various. we believe the cairo center and poor activists across the country and other people coming together, we need a moral revival of values that deals withcies tink racism, not just when somebody says the "n" word, but systemic racism, policies that hurt people because of color, poverty, the war economy and national morality. think about it, trevor, we just came through a presidential election, 26 debates on both sides of the aisle. you didn't hear the word "poor." when you go through an entire presidential election and you talk about tweets, e-mails and texts more than you talk about poverty, systemic racism and the war economy and national morality from the perspective of

justice, we need a revival of values in this country, otherwise, we will continue to see the likes of trump and others get elected. ( applause ) >> trevor: thank you very much. for more information about his work, check out the web site "poor people's campaign".org. reverand william barber, everybody, we'll be right back. ( cheers and this extravagant? or make a backseat...that feels nothing like a backseat. why give it every feature you could want... along with a few you didn't know you needed. it's simple. you can build a car, or you can build a cadillac.
