fielder for three seasons, i swear to god. all right, now, here's your worst employee of the week. 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"! thank you so much for tuning in! i'm trevor noah! thank you so much, everybody. our guest tonight to talk about her book, "what made maddy run: the secret struggles and tragic death of an all american teen," espn's kate fagan is here! ( cheers and applause ) first up, mueller time. >> breaking news, ncb news confirms, robert mueller emband a grblg in washington to investigate russia's interference in the 2016 elections.
11:01 pm
>> a grand juror impaneled means director mueller thinks he has a lot of probable cause to move forward that crimes occurred. >> grand juror, powerful investigate tore cudgels that permit putting witnesses under oath, issuing or possibly indictments. >> trevor: oh, snap! possibly indictments? it's about to go down! down! oh, wait, wait -- i have been told we have live footage of donald trump right now. (sirens) ( applause ) bing, bing, bong, bong, bing, bing, bing -- >> trevor: oh, man! today must suck for donald trump. i just hope if the police ever arrest him, they protect his head when they put him into the car. that's all i hope. that's all i hope. ( laughter ) ( applause ) you know what i just realized? if they find out trump did commit a crime, he's the one american who can't escape to
11:02 pm
mexico. ( cheers and applause ) oh, man! i just picture him now driving -- we just get over the border, and then we start a completely new life! god damn it! who built this big beautiful wall? god damn! ( laughter ) and donald trump would be the worst person to go into hiding because he would probably change his appearance but we would still know it was him. ( laughter ) our twitter buys extra service tonight is going down, people. this mueller grand jury thing caps off, honestly, a terrible day for donald trump because, in the beginning, it started like this -- >> we are back with the breaking news. "the washington post" just released the full transcript of phone calls that the president had in january with the president of mexico and the prime minister of australia, and notable that this huge leak comes just a day before attorney general jeff sessions is due to announce a major crackdown on leaks.
11:03 pm
>> trevor: yeah, and we know that sessions is conducting leak investigation because that was leaked. ( laughter ) is there anything this administration upwon't leak? like, at this point, i imagine trump looking out the window, thinking to himself, man, i wish i was a butterfly. and then he looks down at the "new york times," like, god damn it! how did they know? how did they snow?! ( laughter ) because these transcripts are mazing. this is what he said to the president of mexico -- he was talking to the president of mexico and said on the wall you and i both have a political problem. my people will stand up and say mexico will pay for the wall and your people will say something probably in a similar but slightly different language. ( laughter ) first of all, slightly different -- i think the language is completely different and, secondly, what does he mean you and i both have a political problem? i like it how trump is, like, we
11:04 pm
need to work together, okay? i don't know where they got this idea from, we have to work together. this was your idea. trump is like a guy walking up in high school, walking up to a girl, sarah, we have a problem. i told everybody we're dating and, yeah, we've got to figure this out. ( laughter ) why is it our problem? because it's us now. we're dating. we're dating. ( laughter ) yeah, he says they're going to say who's gonna pay for the wall, mr. president, to both of us, and we should both say, we will work it out. and mexico's president is, like, we ain't paying for (bleep) man. ( applause ) we ain't paying for (bleep). well, let's move on to the top story tonight. body cameras. they were introduced with the idea of having footage of interactions would make police more accountable, which makes sense because everyone quantities to look good if others could be watching. the snapchat hot dog, do you think he's always happy and upbeat?
11:05 pm
no, you should see him when the camera is off. don't look at me without the filter! ( laughter ) but it turns out some police only behave bet for they know the camera is on. you know how sometimes people say, i'm innocent, that cop planted those drugs. and you think, sure, cracky. turns out we might owe cracky an apology. >> video recorded on a baltimore police officer's body camera appears to show a city officer manipulating evidence. during that time you see three city officers in an alley. seconds later, audio of the officers begins to be recorded. >> hold on. >> the officer is seen returning to the spot where the three were just standing, picking up a can and pulling drugs from it, the same can that it appears he placed the drugs in seconds earlier. >> trevor: you know what, baltimore police? i'm not angry, i'm just disappointed. it's one like to apparently plant evidence. it's another to miss a golden
11:06 pm
opportunity to look like a super sleuth. you don't just come in and be, like, drugs could be anywhere -- found them! you don't do that. you've got to play it up. you come in, you look around, you do that thing where you walk away, and then you stop and go, oh! something doesn't add up... is that a can of black olives? the pits of olives are like rocks, rock street name for crack, i got it! and then you find the drugs! ( cheers and applause ) come on! if you're going to frame people and send them to jail, at least have the decency to put on a show especially if you're planning to make this a regular thing. >> for a second time, police officers in baltimore are suspected of planting evidence in a drugs case, and, once again, they were exposed by their own cameras. >> body cameras were rolling during a traffic stop last november. the video shows baltimore police officer searching a car for drugs. according to the public
11:07 pm
defender's office, the officers found nothing in the car until turning their body cameras off. when the cameras came back on, an officer is seen squatting by the driver's side of the suspect's car, apparently unaware he's being recorded. he then stands up and steps back. about 30 seconds pass. another officer approaches the car. that officer then squats down and pulls out a bag of drugs. >> trevor: you know, i'm starting to wonder if the entire drug business in baltimore is just cops buying drugs to plant them. that's all it seems like. it seems like cops coming up to dealers, like, hey, man! i got some -- i need some evidence, man! you got evidence? drug dealer is, like, no, i'm all out. what's this?! what happened? i guess you just made a sail! ( laughter ) as disturbing as these videos are, black people have known about police planting evidence for years, nobody believed them. now there is the technology to prove it. sort of like we all assumed the hotel room was covered in semen
11:08 pm
but then they invented the black light and we were, like, holy (bleep), this is a thorough coating! even the ceiling! it's on the black light! how did that even happen? ( laughter ) i know the two videos doesn't prove a systemic problem in policing. that's stamford university's job. >> researchers at stanford university collected 60 patrol stops in 20 states, found black drivers are issued 20% more tickets than white drivers and hispanic drivers received 30% more tickets than other drivers. hispanic drivers were most likely to be searched, least likely to have contraband. >> trevor: wow! hispanics get the most racism? that's like finding out the hotel room next door has even more semen than yours! part of you is happy but the other part is, oh, man, i got the nerd room! come on! ( laughter ) one of the more interesting
11:09 pm
pieces of information from the stan flash flood study is -- stanford study is in areas where broken taillight stops are regular, blacks and hispanics are 20% more likely to get stopped. if you're a minority, make sure your taillight is never out. if you're thinking, trevor, that's impossible, you've clear never met leo devlin. >> are you tired of being pulled over for being black? of course you are. people are making up all kinds of reasons, is this car stolen? do you have a gun? did you kidnap this white woman sitting next to you? and of course their favorite, sir, your taillight is broken. officer, i might be broke but my taillight is just fine. with the leo devlin forever taillight, the police will have to come up with a better reason to whip yo ass. these taillights brake under pressure but not this taillight. this instructible taillight is

( laughter ) and gets a free sandwich. ( laughter ) as you can imagine, general kelly has a monumental task in front of him because, i don't know if you've noticed this, but this administration has sometimes had trouble staying on message, which is why they came up with this plan -- >> the white house trying to get everyone's attention back to the president's agenda. they are announcing new theme weeks. >> the white house is hoping to change the conversation. >> today they're unveiling one of their theme weeks. >> trevor: ooh! theme weeks! yeah, it's like at summer camp, you know, when you do christmas in july or breakfast for dinner or search party for that did daniel, you know, themes.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is an epps inn commentator and columnist for espn w. who is here to talk about her new book called "what made maddy run: the secret struggles and tragic death of an all american teen." please welcome kate fagan. ( cheers and applause )
11:22 pm
♪ welcome to "the daily show." >> good to be here. >> trevor: thank you very much for being here and sharing your story. this is a book based off an article you wrote. just to give it context, you were yourself a college athlete and you realized that college life is not as fun as i guess it seems like in american pie movies. >> right. >> trevor: and you wrote stories about that. what was it from your story that made you want to do more research and write about these? >> yeah, well, when i played hoops at the university of colorado, i tried to quit my freshman year, and i had a ton of anxiety around it. it wasn't really something i owed processed until i read the headlines about maddy's story, and i dug deeper into her story, and i was, like, there is a lot that i can relate to and made me want to pursue it further. >> trevor: maddy's story is one of the most heartbreaking tales i've ever read. on the surface, maddy had it made -- in college, doing well,
11:23 pm
a star on the track team -- and then seems like it was going wrong. there was no one incident. when you dug through the story, what did you find was the catalyst for how maddy felt? >> well, what i found was there was never going to be a one catalyst or a why. >> trevor: right. >> it was more a lot of nuanced-layered things that took place. i mean, certainly the trigger was going to college. i mean, it was the first big transition in her life and, for a lot of young kids, that transition, that first big transition can be the trigger for anxiety or depression if it's something they might suffer from and certainly that was the case with maddy when she got to u penn. all of a sudden, everything that was easy for her started to be hard for her. >> trevor: do you think people could do a job for preparing kids for college and the idea they may hate the next four years? >> yeah, in talking to maddy's friends and all their parents and community group, one thing that they didn't talk enough about in retrospect is, like, hey, i know we all say like this
11:24 pm
is going to be the best four years of your life, but parents need to do a little bit better job of saying, you might struggle. like, this is a big transition for you -- you're not going to be at home anymore, you're going to have new friends, there's going to be new challenges -- this is something you might find you think is awesome but if you're struggling, talk to us, know that's okay that you're struggling. >> trevor: when you look at maddy's story, we speak about it in the past tense because she's no longer here, maddy committed suicide, and it came as a shock to many people, mostly because the veneer on theto side of her life was so perfect. do you find that there would have been a sign, is there way that anyone could have known just by looking at the world and the life she was living? >> yeah, and most of her friends were surprised. i mean, those closest to her knew she was trying to get help. her parents and sister and brother knew something's not right at college and we need to try and fix it, but social media, certainly when you look
11:25 pm
at madison's instagram feed, i mean, it's still live, you see her projection of her college experience was actually the perfect college experience, but she would talk about with her friends and with her parents, like, i think my friends are having an amazing time at college, even though she knew what she was projecting wasn't real, she still absorbed other people's instagram feeds and social media feeds as if it was a pure reflexion of what they were going through. >> trevor: that's something i found gripping and universal. it's a sad story. maddy's story is unique in that she's a track star and many people may not be able to relate to being on a top team in college. some people may not relate to the story of college, but the aspect of social media and living your life on the outside is one that i think all of us can relate to. instagram lifestyle, are you having a good time or appearing to have a good time? do you think that, in some ways, that adds to the stress that young people feel, having to put
11:26 pm
up or keep up with i guess now it's the kardashians, used to be the joneses? >> yeah, i mean, absolutely. that's a huge part of it, and it's not just how much our young people, high school, college-age kids are absorbing of other people's social media, it's also the communication style now. maddy, when i went through her imessages, because her family were graciously enough to pass her imessages along, she was populating all those ey imessags with emojis. even if she was conveying i don't like it here, there would be an emoji, like a monkey covering eyes. even if what she said was serious, the emoji softened it and it was tough via text even on social media to say there was something wrong, from that far away. >> trevor: if there was one thing you want people to take
11:27 pm
away from this book, what would it be? >> there are so many places doing awesome work, there's an organization to love on her arms, there's a lot of places that want to have this conversation. the ending to maddy's story is available. you can get treatment and help and live. i think if we talk enough about the catalyst and the nuance and layer of this and why this happened and the reasons, i think we can avoid more of the outcomes like maddy eas's. >> trevor: then we'll keep talking. thank you for being on the show. "what made maddy run" is available now. a fascinating story. we'll be right back. thank you so much. ( cheers and applause ) way around the problem,
11:30 pm
here ya go. awesome, thank you. thank you. that's... not your car. your car's ready! wrong car... this is not your car? i would love to take it, but no. oh, i'm so sorry about that. you guys wanna check it out? it's someone else's car... this is beautiful. what is this? it's the all-new chevy equinox. this feels like a luxury suv. i love this little 360, how do they even do that? i made a bad decision on my last car purchase. well, your car's here. bummer... bummer. wah-wah. i'm ready for an upgrade. (laughter) ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: that's our show for tonight, ladies and gentlemen. we will be back in two weeks. so we'll see you then. now, here it is, your moment of zen. >> it doesn't look like they're going to get it at least with this. casey hunt is on capitol hill. casey heard kristen talk about senator graham's response to. this you heard others call this a nonstarter. i think you're seeing somebody, maybe, casey, down the hallway? maybe not..
