you or your ep? >> i accept full responsibility for every episode. that being said, it's all her fault. >> thank you, daniel. >> 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. our guest tonight, i could not be more excited, woopi goldberg is here, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) joining us on the show, does she have a movie or a book to promote? no. she's here because she's woopi goldberg. that's why. ( cheers and applause ) but first, there is been a lot

of chatter about whether president donald j. trump committed obstruction of justice. some people say yes, some people say no. one guy says maybe, and he's the guy who matters. >> breaking overnight president trump reportedly now under investigation for obstruction of justice. special counsel robert mueller looking into whether he inappropriately tried to get the f.b.i. to drop its probe into national security advisor michael flynn. >> the president was back talking about the investigation again. >> why is hillary's family's dealings not looked at but mine are. >> destroyed with hammer. met with attorney general days before cleared and they talk about obstruction. >> trevor: come on, how long is president trump going to talk about hillary clinton? in the distance future, president trump will be in a hospital bed and the grim reaper

will visit and he will be, like, what about crooked hillary? and the grim reaper will be, like, i am crooked hillary. i knew it! i knew it! ( laughter ) anyway, it's moments like this that inspired us at "the daily show" to preserve trumpas tweets as the historical documents that they are, with the donald trump presidential twitter library that you can visit starting tomorrow where donald trump's greatest tweets will be memorialized for the rest of all time or three days, whichever comes first. recently, everyone has been so absorbed with the whole trump-russia story, many have forgotten things are happening in congress, mainly healthcare. for seven years republicans have had one major legislative priority and that's been building a 60-foot-tall coal powered mechanical jesus to defend america. just kidding. 70 feet tall. just kidding. the main goal repealing and

replacing obamacare. now that goal is within reach. it's taken so long it's probably felt like sex with sting. ( audience reacts ) if you remember, back in may, the house managed to pass its version of trumpcare and trump celebrated by conducting a backyard symphony. ( applause ) ( cheering ) >> what we have is something very, very incredibly well crafted. we don't have the talk about this unbelievable victory. it wasn't unbelievable, so we don't have to say ut again. but it's going to be an unbelievable victory, actually, when we get it through the senate -- >> trevor: only trump would say we don't have to say it's unbelievable, then immediately say it's unbelievable. ( laughter ) this is how stubborn donald trump is. he doesn't even listen to the word "no" when it comes from himself. ( laughter ) okay, no more unbelievables. (bleep) you, me, unbelievable! ( laughter ) the house passing the bill was a

major step toward repealing obamacare and obviously republicans were thrilled. you know who wasn't, though? almost everyone else in the country. turns out only 17% of america supported the house bill. do you know how small 17% is? you could fit everyone who loved that bill into one backyard. that's how small it is, which is basically what republicans did, to be honest. 17%. like, if you were a kid and you got 17% on a test, your parents wouldn't ground you. like, they wouldn't beat you. 'cause you just wouldn't go home. ( laughter ) you would just look at that paper and be, like, well, i guess my life is a drift of begins. all right, here we go, here we go... ( laughter ) that's terrible which explain why when trump talked to republicans this week his opinion of the house bill had been negotiated. >> during a meeting with senate republicans the president kept

his focus on healthcare. there plump flip-flopped on the house reflame to obamacare calling it mean. >> the president calling the house bill a son of a bitch. >> trevor: damn, the bill went from unbelievable to a mean son of a bitch or in trump terms from an ivanka to an eric? wow! ( audience reacts ) and i don't say this often, but trump is right, the house bill is mean. if that bill became law, 23 million people could become uninsured in america. many people with pre-existing conditions won't be protected and it would mandate colon cancer be renamed butt cancer. it's a mean bill, people. because it's so mean and unpopular senate republicans are left with two options, fix what's in the bill or hide it from everyone. >> senate republican healthcare deliberations with the white house's blessing have all been conducted behind closed doors. no public hearings are

scheduled -- >> but mitch mcconnell is no fool. he knows the second he puts the plan out they're going to get chopped up in a thousand pieces. >> one g.o.p. aide explaining why they won't release it to the public, "we aren't stupid." >> trevor: that's right, republican senators are so ashamed of the healthcare bill fair working on they're putting it inside a porn magazine so no one will know what they're reading. no, it's not what you think, it's porn. ( laughter ) the stories of republicans being shady and writing the bill in secret, these are up a fake news. for the truth, we need to go to the ancient tree who leads them, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. >> unfortunately, it will have to be a republicans-only exercise but we're working hard to get there. we'll let you see the bill when we finally release it. we know a lot about the subject. we know how complicated it is. nobodyas hiding the ball here. our goal here is to move forward quickly is that. >quickly.

>> trevor: your goal is to move forward quickly? shouldn't it to make a good healthcare system, doing it right not fast? you would think, of all people, mitch mcconnell would know about the tortoise and the hare. his cousin won that race. ( laughter ) but he is hiding the ball. no mistaken that. here's why mitch mcconnell's ball hiding is such a big deal. the senate healthcare bill has the potential to drastically change the lives of millions of americans and, like obamacare was, the process should be open so people can voice their needs and concerns. right now even other senators can't help shape the bill because not even they know what it is. >> when you say that you're inviting us -- and i heard you, mr. secretary, just say we'd love your support. for what? we don't even know. we have no idea what's being proposed. there's a group of guys in a back room somewhere that are making these decisions.

will there be a hearing? >> huh? >> -- invited to participate in this process and open to ideas and suggestions (whispering bren. >> well, i don't know that there's going to be another hearing but we've invited you the participate and we're open to ideas -- >> no, no, that's not true, mr. chairman. >> trevor: who's that? that dude just repeated exactly what that person told him to say! at this point, why isn't she just the senator, the middle man? ( whispering ) but hold on, let me get this straight. this is slick here. senate republicans are holding no hearings and aren't letting democrats sea the bill at all but they still insist that they are letting the democrats participate. that's what they say. you know what this is like? like when your little brother wanted to play a video game to

you so you gave him a controller that wasn't plugged in. that's what this is like and your brother is, like, wait, if you're mario, who am i? doesn't matter, you're winning. yay! if you're an older sibling, great memories. if you're an older sibling, yeah. if you're younger, that's when your issues started. look, the truth is obamacare isn't perfect, right, through at least when senate democrats passed their initial bill in 2009, they worked on it for eleven months and held over a dozen open hearings. but even with all offthat, the republicans still complained that, with some things so big as reforming the american healthcare system, the democrats were moving too fast and being too secret, and you will never guess which republican complained the most. >> this massive piece of legislation that seeks to restructure one-sixth of our economy is being written behind closed doors without input from

anyone in an effort to jam it past not only the senate but the american people before christmas. >> trevor: christmas, you know, the holiday where three ghosts show up in your bathroom and you ignore them. baaaah -- ( laughter ) 2009, mitch mcconnell, he clearly understood the concept of open process with healthcare. this time it's opposite because with trumpcare he's so afraid of backlash from voters it triggered his instinctive response. ( laughter ) power! we'll be right back! once upon a time hansel and gretel came upon a house made out of gingerbread. being quite hungry, they started eating the roof. the homeowner was outraged. luckily the geico insurance agency

had helped her with homeowners insurance. she got all her shingles replaced. hansel and gretel were last seen eating their way through the candy cane forest. call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance. onget ready.... oh no! run!

shot. now we have these other congress people -- she was a democrat. we've had republicans shot now. so it seems to me that now that this has happened on both sides, somebody has to say, okay, something is really wrong here because the way to get people out of office is not to try to shoot them, it's to vote them out. and if you don't have the balls to vote them out, that's your issue. but you have to -- you know, you have to look at it. this insanity discourse is not good because it's not working. >> trevor: if you look at where you wish america could go. if you look at what your view would be for the future of the country, what would a dream scenario be? not everyone will get together but what would you hope we would start to see? >> i want people to stop think about winning and thinking about how we win because, yeah, maybe we have to find things to do with coal, but i know i'm not going to burn coal in my house.
