and connect, as a family. just, uh one second voice guy. [ bloop ] huh? hey? i paused it. bam, family time. so how is everyone? find your awesome with xfinity xfi and change the way you wifi. >> 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 my guest tonight, host of a new show on!ç bet, robin thede is joining us tonight, everybody. (applause) really excited for her. but first i am sure just like many of you, i woke up this morning to the defer stating news coming out of las vegas.

another mass shooting. this time show even deadlier than all the other mass shootings. and they say that this was the worst on american history. but every shooting is the worst for someone. and you know what blew my mind this morning is when i realized that i have just, like, i've lived in the u.s. and new york for two years now, all right? and in that time there have been 20 mass shootings. 20 mass shootings in the u.s. what's been particularly heartbreaking is other than the lives lost, is how i feel like people are becoming more accustomed to this type of news, every single time. i almost know how it's going to play out. we're shocked. we're sad, thoughts and prayers and then almost on cue, people are going to come out saying whatever you do, when speaking about the shootings, don't talk about guns. >> talking about gun control and whether we need more restrictive

laws, i just don't think that that is an appropriate time for this to be happening. >> there is a time and place for a political debatement but now is the time to unite as a country. >> trevor: this is not the time to be talking about guns. sometimes i wish i had used this logic as a kid when i've done something wrong. you know. my mop wanted to ground me. i should have just said this is a time, mom, that we polit size what is happening right now. this is not the time to talk about pie lack of discipline. this is a time for us to unite as a family, to focus on the fact that i'm stuck in the kitchen window trying to sneak back in, come on, mom. this is not the time. when, like when is the time. and also if you say after a mass shooting is never the time, then you will never have the conversation in america because there is a mass shooting almost every single day. so when is the time? think about it, with everything else, when a plane crashes, we talk about plane safety immediately. when a bridge collapses, we talk about infrastructure immediately. when a lion attacks people, we talk about why there are so many

lions roaming around. is that just me? after-- africa, cool? skip that one. >> i don't know how-- we seem to do everything to avoid talking about guns. i've never been to a country where people are as afraid to speak about guns. >> every time there is a shooting. you got to look at something else. is it muslims? is it their religion, is that what it is? is it blacks t is a black on black crime, it is mentally ill people, is it white nationalists. every time, it's a different question. and now, now after this incident in las vegas, we're asking a new question. is it hotels? >> certainly hotel security will be revisited across the globe after this event. >> there is no check of your bags. i'm not sure how one gets that many fire arms up into their room issue. >> who would have thought that someone would be firing from the mandalay bay hotel, so now we have to rethink security.

>> so just to keep track of the argument. mass shooting, mass shooting, mass shooting, mass shooting, mass shooting, mass shooting, we have to take care of this hotel check in issue. oh, and by the way, just to give you an idea of how far away america is from actual gun control, this week congress is going to vote onçó deregulating gun silencers. because i guess congress is thinking gun violence is out of control, how can we make it quieter, yeah, how can we do that. so the people of las vegas, i can't give you thoughts and prayers, i can only say that i'm sorry. sorry that we live in a world where there are people who will put a gun before your lives. and the story will develop over time, and we'll keep on it. but for now, let's go to the news of the weekend. let's start with secretary of state rex tiller son. a man whose name sounds less like a man and more like a rich old lady pomeranian.

earlier this week, earlier this week the secretary of state revealed that he has a direct line of communication with north korea. which is a big deal. considering north korea is threatening to launchá2v nucler weapons at the u.s., unfortunately for the rest of us, president trump has a direct line of communication with twitter. >> u.s. president donald trump appears to be undermining his top diplomat on north korea. i told rex tillerson he's wasting his time trying to negotiate with little rock et man. save your energy, rex, we'll do what has to beñi done. >> trevor: save your energy, rex? poor rex tillerson. he's trying to negotiate a way out of nuclear war and his boss is calling him out on social med kra for it. like i wonder if tillerson is ever like sir, do you know that your phone can make calls, do you know that? like why would you tweet me. i was like because, rex, i don't follow you so i can't dm, okay.

and now-- (applause) i i get what trump is trying to do, thinking about trying to act crazy he will strengthen rex's hand with the negotiation, the good cop president president routine, i understand it the problem is he is actually a bad president t is not just the routine. >> being nice to rocket man hasn't worked in 25 years, why would it work now? clinton failed, bush failed and obama failted. i won't fail. >> trevor: you know i would be a lot more confident that trump wouldn't fail if he knew north korea has had three leaders in the last 25 years, yeah, clinton and bush were dealing with different kims. kim ill sung, kim jong ill and now kim jung-un, but i guess to trump all rocket men look the same. or maybe, maybe you just can't tell kim as part. maybe that is his thing. he's going to be walking in the street bumping into little kims and be like you son of a bich.

oh, and trump's crazy wasn't just directed at the korea of the north. remember how last week everyone was like hey, mr. president, stop tweeting about the nfl and focus on puerto rico. remember that? be careful what you wish for. >> the mayor of san juan slamming president trump's response to the disaster there. >> i am done being polite. i'm done being politically correct. i am mad m hell. we are done. and you are killing us with the inefficiency. >> president trump responded with such poor leadership ability by the mayor of san juan and others in puerto rico who are not able to get their workers to help. they want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. >> trevor: wow, really? the hurricane ravaged people of puerto rico are lazy. this coming from a man who spent 71 days of his presidency at a golf course, really? a sport where you are so lazy you need an assistant. they are the lazy ones? because you see, the real victims of this hurricane are

not who you think of as the victims of the hurricane. the real victims is donald trump. >> the mayor of san juan who was very complimentary only a few days ago has now been told by the democrats that you must be nasty to trump. >> how are you a billionaire and the president of the united states and still the most insecure human being on earth? like how? like a mayor over hurricane ravaged city is begging forñr fd and trump reacted like she slammed him. and to kep track trump is with the mayor of a devastated city, gold star patients, and the pope, i mean?lk the pope deserd whreep bleep but everyone else, really? and obviously there was a big backlash to trump's response. people were!( miranda even tweeted trump is going straight to hell on the fastest golf cart he ever took. and i don't know if you know--

(applause). >> trevor: i don't know if you know, lin-manuel is like the nicest person you will ever meet in your life. and you can even see that he is nice because even when sending trump to hell he let him take his preferred mode of transportation. look at that. that is a nice guy. and clearly donald trump is a hamilton fan because on sunday the president finally stepped up and did the right thing. >> president trump dedicates president's cup golf trophy to the people of puerto rico. >> on behalf of all of the people of texas and all of the people of, if you look today and you see what is happening, how horrible it is, but we have it under really great control, puerto rico and the people of florida who have really suffered over this last short period of time with the hurricanes, i want to just remember them and we're going to dedicate this trophy to all of those people that went through so much. >> trevor: that's right, folks. don't say donald trump hasn't done anything for puerto rico. the dude dedicated a whole golf trophy to them.

and you know in trump's mind that made sense, right? he was like this weekend both the golfers and puerto rico had to deal with water hazards it makes sense, it makes sense. i thought, i genuinely cannot believe that he dedicated a golf trophy, like on the list of things puerto ricans needed, a golf trophy is somewhere in between a vhs copy of spiderman and another hurricane. who are you! (applause) because puerto rico doesn't need a golf troé they need baseball trophyies they nied help. don't be like trump, let's give likeans something they can use, click the link and help out. give whatever you can, even if it is $1. you know, if anything, this may be the only silver lining of trump's twitter wars s how much people have been getting involved. he gets people so fired up that

they donate just to spite him. yeah, i'm thinking we just need to give polar beers to tweet trump and maybe we can solve global warming, we'll be right back.

>>éf trevor: welcome back to te daily show. this weekend was another big one on america's favorite reality show. as the celebrity apresident told

another contestant, you're fired. >> president trump demanding the resignation of tom price, the secretary of health and human services is out. it comes after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of your money on luxury jets. >> price spent more than $400,000 in taxpayer money on those flights. and it turns out, he's only reimbursing the government for the cost of his own seat, $51,887.31. >> trevor: that's right. dr. tom price fired from president trump's cabinet for using tax-payer money on private jets. they were like get off that jet. this is your second worst example of a doctor getting dragged off a plane. there's got to be so humiliating to get fired by trump for become too extravagant, that is like benedict cumberbatch saying that your name sounds too british. but you know what, for me, this wasn't the biggest surprise. from the time the story first broke, it didn't seem like it would end well for tom price.

>> it was not hard to figure out how president trump felt about this. he was angry, frustrated. >> mr. trump berated mr. price in the oval office yesterday afternoon for about two hours before heading out to meet with reporters. >> trevor: trump chewed price out for two consecutive hours. i don't think trump has focused on anything for two hours in his entire presidency. two hours? you know how long that s trump yelled at him nor so long. they probably had to order lunch in the middle of him shouting at him. you idiot, i can't believe you wasted taxpayer money on the-- hold on, yeah, uh-huh, you want to go in on fries, yeah, you about no dipping sauce, no ketchup for you. and also let me get-- sorry i mixed up who i was shouting at. okay, bye bye. and you know the whole time tom price was like hey, man, can we speed this up, i've got a flight to much ka, let's get, let's go. keep it moving. if you are wondering how sensitive trump is to the offpic of cabinet officialsçó flying on

luxury expwrets. >> we are have great secretaries, some own their own planes, as you know, that solves that. >> trevor: yeah, you see. that is trump's real problem with tom price, he's too poor to own his own jet. that's not how cabinet appointments are supposed to work, mr. president. you don't pick a defense secretary based on if he owns his own missiles. that is not how it rolls. by the way, check out the fire truck in the background. when trump is talking, it looks like it he didn't pick up one of his toys after play time earlier on he was just like, where is the fire, where is the fire. put itñi out. (laughter) but look, look, in the end, this whole plane thing may just have been an excuse. because tom price's real sin was far more grave. >> it seems like tom price's firing was as much about his failure to get obamacare rereal-- repealed as this relatively minor private jet controversy. >> trevor: obamacare does it again. another one.

this thing takes everyone down. price, ryan, mcconnell, everyone comes after obamacare, nobody leaves. youñr got obamacare is like, yox know, those old congress if you movies where the bad guy is sending in his henchman and a bombacare you, g and runs-- you, go. and like-- you, go, go in, get him. and obamacare is just like-- never ends. (cheers and applause). >> trevor: never ends. i almost feel bad for tom price because from now on he will have to think about this every single time he flies commercial. he will be on the plane gazing out of the window. con tell plating his life choices and someone will be like hey, are you tom price? yes, yes i am, they will be like i'm 24, a, you have the middle seat, move over, move over.

we'll be right back. (applause) ah, dinner.

throughout history, the one meal when we come together, break bread, share our day and connect as a family. [ bloop, clicking ] and connect, as a family. just, uh one second voice guy. [ bloop ] huh? hey? i paused it. bam, family time. so how is everyone?

find your awesome with xfinity xfi and change the way you wifi. >> well, i will be the current, only. but there was mondayique and-- . >> trevor: oh, so current only, current only. >> current only. >> trevor: i feel like you have a trend because your mom is a state representative in iowa. >> yeah first african-american female to be voted in in her district. >> that's right. >> trevor: is this like a competition you guys have. >> yes, it is. and the funny thing about that was i was also the first black woman to be the head writer of the correspondent's dinner. i only do this for the records. >> trevor: is that like a thing, you get there, have you ever had a black woman doing this? then no, i'm out. no. >> it's true. i won't do it. so i sent a picture of me and president obama at the correspondent's dinner. and she teched me back and said that's great, i'm also with the president. she is literally at the fund raise we are tony goldwyn the

president from sandals. >> trevor: doesn't count. >> she was not impressed. an ongoing competition between she and i. >> trevor: st exciting for you because are you getting into the late night space, feelsñi like there are a lot of shows in the space right now but you have an advantage in that you are coming from a different angle. you will be on once a week and specifically said this is a show that is unashamedly going to cater to black audiences. >> that's right. >> trevor: what does that mean? >> the network stands for black entertainment television. >> trevor: is that what the b is for. >> it is. >> trevor: oh wow. >> i know what you are going to ask, where is the white entertainment television. it's the rest of the television. yeah, no, it's cool because we get to cover the stories that really matter to black people like i just want to know what r kelly is doing in his basement. and i think that's important. and i think-- it is important journalism.

and i also want to know what trump and jeff sessions are doing, i think it is kind of cool to cater to a specific audience but also everyone is welcome to watch, obviously. you don't have to show your hands to get the bet or anything, is that how we get into black things. >> trevor: be like scan your hand. >> listen, yeah, it's going to be fun. >> trevor: it is going toçó be the rundown and you were talking about race on your show, what i found interesting was you were saying you have to tackle issues of race, race is going to be a part of the show and sometimes say why are you talking about race, it's 2017. >> because the president called colin kaepernick a son of a bitch, so we can't help but talk about race. right? we are in-- (applause) >> for me it's the convergeence of politics and pop culture. i think black people enter that space a the lo. the first person trump met with instead of having an

intelligence briefing was kayne. we have to remember, right, that was his first meeting at trump tower. so i think that we're just living in that world and living in that space. so it right to have a show that kind of pokes fun at that. >> trevor: what are you most excited about when you look at the landscape, when you look at politics being covered. you are raring to go on theñi a. what are the stories you wish you would have been on the air to cover before your show came out. >> the election. yeah, we were writing at the nightly show to take that head on and we didn't have a chance to. so i think for me that was-- you know how crazy that night was, obviously it was insane. >> trevor: yes. >> but yeah, the election, just everything, there are so many things that are going on. i want to know what is going on with flint, they have had no clean water for three and a half years and it has gone off the radar. there are so many stories that black people needñi to know updates on that trump gets in the way of. >> trevor: you don't is have any guests on the show. >> no. >> trevor: if you were to a a guest.

>> beyonce. why not. >> trevor: i like that you even think about that. >> why would i think about it, beyonce, no question. >> trevor: but if you were to have another guest. >> michelleñzobama. >> trevor: oh, okay, okay. okay. >> is that an acceptable answer. have you had beyonce on here, on the show. >> trevor: no, if we had beyonce on the show, she would still be here, i would never let her leave, are you kidding me? don't come to the show, beyonce, you aren't ever going home. i'm excited to see the show, it will be really fun, the rundown with robin thede premiers october 12th at 11 p.m. on bet. robin thede, everybody. plaws plawl

>> trevor: that's our show for tonight. the opposition with jordan clep certificate up next, now your moment of zen. >> how quickly did you see first responders run towards the scene and start helping the bonded? >> most almost immediately. med ro was there, metro is such

an amazing police force. the police officers were helping the concertgoers, helpingzg=z everybody. it was just amazing. we all came together. and everybody was helping everybody. (applause) welcome to the opposition. before we get started, i want to take a moment to address the horrific event in las vegas last night. like all of you right now, my thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected. violent acts like these have no place in our society. last year, i spent some time filming a special on the gun debate. i went back to my hometown of kalamazoo, michigan and a-across america. and from rural michigan to the people in the heart of atlanta, everywhere my-my takeaway was surprisingly similar. they all wanted the same thing. they wanted to be safe. and over the coming days, as this event is analyzed, and a debate emerges, remember that the goal we have in common is bigger than the differences that separate us.
