except there's a new e-mail. that shouldn't have come in. why would an e-mail to me have come in if i deleted everything? [ beeps ] "i know who you are." you? do you know who i am? do you know who i am, ike?! no. but i want to, dad. not like that, smartass! delete. delete the account, not the e-mails. [ beeps ] "meet me under the freemont bridge, 9:00 a.m. tomorrow." oh, god. you dip your french fries in a sweet-and-sour sauce? yeah, it's the best, dude. try it. wow. that's really good. i'm starting to feel like life isn't gonna be so bad. yeah. i think i am, too. heidi, can i ask you something? yeah, of course. do girls...

(applause). >> trevor: welcome to the daily show, thank you so much for tuning in, i'm trevor noah thank you, everybody. our guest tonight, i could not be more excited, actress and now author gabrielle union is

joining us, everybody! (applause). >> trevor: but first, naaaa. ♪. >> take a look at this, it is the all-star cast of the new disney live action lion king remake. it's being released this morning and we now know queen bee, beyonce will star as nala. john oliver as zazu the bird, seth rogen, billy eichner timon and pumba it opens july 2019. >> trevor: wow, i'm excited. so excited, a live action lion kij, are you kidding and beyonce is playing nalla simba's girlfriend. or since it's beyonce, it's probably more accurate to say that simba is playing beyonce's boyfriend. let's be honest. i'm really excited. they are actually adding an all new scene in this one wherea's sister beats the [bleep] out of simba in an elevator. really, really up to date, edgy,

edgy. but it looks like an amazing cast. beyonce, donald glover, james earl jones, and john oliver is playing zazu. which is going to be amazing. i mean it really is. although like if they wanted a late night host to play an african character, i feel like they were maybe like some other options. i don't know, maybe someone actually who spent time in africa around like the birds from africa, you know t is a great choice though, don't get me wrong. i'm just saying like when mufasa asked zazu for the latest news in the pride liepped will be like i will get to that later but first let's get to reverse mortgages. it will be great, congratulations. you know i'm excited, yeah. let's move on. let's move on to the news that has been shaking america up, recently america's tech giepts have come under fire for the role they played in helping russian trolls spread divisive messages online. and it turns out that this

problem is a lot worse than we first thought. >> for months we've heard about russian ert efforts to divide americans and disrupt 20916 election by flooding social media with provocative ads. today congress released a sample. >> there is this ad, hillary clinton with horns pitted in a battle against jesus christ. >> we'll focused on di vicive issues and targeted on specific audiences. >> trevor: will is really depressing both for america and for russian spies. because in the old days espionage meant using exploding pens and tointy tipped umbrellas. now they have to use the staim tool as your divorced aunt. but this is shocking news. no matter what your politics are, think about it, with just 100,000 russian ads targeted 11.4 million americans. but had a wider reach with a free facebook groups that they set up which reached 126 million americans. that many people were exposed to

these posts that russia sent out. what is alsooshocking is just how much russia knew about american politics. they knew about state border patrols, the wokeness debate, even about texas' kres eggs, that is way more than we know about their politics, i don't know about you, if i were trying to sneak into an online russian political debate i would be found out in a seconded, it i it would be hey comerad, done we hate snow. we love snow. so after all theetion rev laitionzs congress demanded answers from the tech giants, google, facebook and twitter but because no one in congress knows how to use a computer, they had to bring the internet to them in person. and right away it became clear that social media companies missed some of the obvious signs of russian meddling. >> you have put billions of data points together all the time, google has all knowledge that man has ever developed. you can't put together ruble

with a political ad and go like, hmmmm, those two data points spell out something bad. >> senator, it's a signal we should have been alert to. and in hindsight, it's one we missed. >> okay, okay, yeah. (laughter). >> trevor: oh, wow. oh. i love that. i love that even in real life facebook conversations devolve into anger and frus treation. because look at al franken, he's doing a real life face palm emoji, look at him. the only thing missing was some random person popping in with a racial slur and that is only bus jeff sessions isn't in the senate any more. but senator franken got nowhere with facebook during this hearing. by the end of it, in fact, they wouldn't even agree to not take north korea's money. >> if a political ad was paid for by a north korean juan, will you pledge not to put it on?

>> the currency signal, i understand your point, is a signal we should have missed. >> so you can't say no to that. >> the currency signal. >> you can't say no to that, please answer yes or no, sir. >> it's relatively easy for bad actors to switch currencies. so it's a signal but it is not enough, we have to sweep more broadly. >> why would anyone use the north korean jown, why would a bad actor go i'm going to trick facebook. i will use the north korean wuan. >> trevor: i'm sorry. al franken is hilarious. this guy is so funny, he should go that come he do, wow. and look, i do understand why he is so frustrated though. facebook loves money so much, but they're not willing to put a limit on who they take it from you know, any question, anything, so would you guys let hitler buy ads on facebook? well, i mean how else will he reach his fans in charlottesville, i mean, don't know. but you would think that facebook would be a little more

discertaining giving the financial shape they are in. for instance just last quarter they had $10 billion in revenue. that is over $100 million a day. do you understand how much money that is? you could eat sushi every day. and now i know some people would be like trevor, what does this the maker, right? some facebook groups sent out some memes, people are fighting online, that is what we all do anyway. but the difference is these russian accounts, they weren't just trolling, they were working hard to mess with house people voted. >> i want to first show you from twitter, a deliberate misleading-- misleading of people that they can vote, in effect, online using this celebrity's image, aziz ansari, he's well-known to the group that is likely to believe it. prompted some people to think they voted. you. >> trevor: you see?

now that fake picture is not just some viral meme, that is disgusting. not only because some people would be fooled into thinking they can vote online. but more importantly, they impersonated aziz ansari, which makes him look bad. and he must be so angry. luckily, we have aziz ansari right now live on the phone. aziz ansari, everybody. joining us live. (applause) aziz, what is going on, man? >> hey, trevor, man, thanks so much for having me on the show, due. >> trevor: oh, any time, aziz. you must be furious at the russians. >> i'm so mad man, it's so crazee. all these people trying to be me, i'm just trying to live me life and see this and i'm like what? by the way, trevor, can i just say "the daily show" is the greatest show of all time, dude, like you totally should have been in lion king, man, like, you be in the lyon king, you would be the greatest-- got to go man, bye.

(applause). >> trevor: that was the real aziz ansari, everybody. look, look, we'll never really know how effective these russian efforts were in swaying the american votes. but what this issue has raised is the question around what responsibility tech companies have in preventing the misuse of their platform. and in fact to help answer this question, we sent our very own dulce sloan to washington. unfortunately she seemed to have her own agenda. >> now why does facebook make those friendship moment was asking first if we still-- i log on and it says you have been friends for eight years and showing pictures [bleep]. but i hate her now. i don't want to see that. >> we believe that going forward there are opportunities not just for us to do better but for us to work together to make sure we're all addressing this threat appropriately. >> the bitch stole my nan, you

know what it's not your fault, google says i'm 5, 8, i'm 5, 9, what do you foa about that. >> well, we we're very concerned about this deceptive and devicive con tnt. >> i don't need mother [bleep] out there thinking i'm short. >> that seems reasonable. >> yeah, it does. fix it. >> trevor: dulce sloan, everybody. we'll be right back.

(applause). >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." you know, it can sometimes seem like every news story is, the world is ending and we're all going to die. so tonight we wanted to share some news that is interesting but won't ruin your weekend it is a segment we call, in other news. first up, osama bin laden is back in the news, no, no, not like that, not like that. the cia has released materials gathered during the 2011 raid of his compound and not only are we learning por about bin laden, we're also learning about the importance of clearing your history before you die. >> the cia releasing nearly a half million more documents providing an inside look into slain terror leader osama bin laden's life, among those files

on his computer, movies based on his life and 9/11 conspiracy theories. bin laden also had film like cars and chicken little and he wamped the viral youtube clip charlie bit my finger and several crocheting tutorials. >> i mean let me get this straight. the master mind behind 9/11 was watching crocheting tutorials. that is so strange. you can't be like death to america, and also check out my etsy shop. it really is weird to think of bin laden watching pixar movies and viral videos. but the strangest thing that came out is that he also had a copy of a conspiracy video called lose change, which claims that 9/11 was faked by the bush administration. which is like that's mind blowing. like i go what is bin laden also bought into the conspiracies. you know, like one of his soldiers was there like but osama, you ordered the attack. and he is like no, no, no, there

is more to the story than i thought. yeah, i also thought it was me but jet fuel cannot melt steel beams. you never know. you never know. in other news, president obama is once again going to be serving his country. (applause) but this time in the most boring way possible. >> president obama is living a somewhat normal life again and now that he is a regular citizen, he is not spared from jury duty. the former president got the call to serve on friday in cook county, illinois. >> trevor: oh man, of course obama is going to show up for jury duty. he is probably the one person in the whole country who would enjoy it and it seems like it would be pretty cool to have barack obama on the jury. you know, until he is a foreman and he staforts giving one of his speeches. and no one gets to go home. just like, how does the jury find the defendant. >> well, hold on now. the law says littering is a

crime but when the founders wrote the constitution, um, back in 1789 and the defendant is going to be like this counts as time served, right, this is time served. (laughter) (laughter) going to be fun to watch. in other news, in other news, a story out of louisiana, where the state supreme court had to get involved in a little miscommunication between the police and a man they had arrested. >> a man lost a court case due to slang and poor punk yaition, started when he is being questioned by police and he said something like i don't know that i didn't do it so why don't you just give me a lawyer dog cuz this is not what up. he was denied his right to an attorney and the state supreme courted still ruled against him and the reason is the official transcrypt of the interview reads like this. i know that i don't do it so why don't you just give me a lawyer dog quuz this is not what's up. the supreme court ruled the suspect was asking for a lawyer

dog, instead of an actual lawyer. there are no lawyer dogs so everything was fair game. >> trevor: wait, what? yeah, everyone knows there are no lawyer dogs. i mean don't get me wrong, lawyer dog is a great idea for a cbs sitcom, and nobody steal that idea from me, no one. i'm calling aziz right after this and mi going to pitch it to him, yeah, every case is just trying to find out who is a good dog, turns out it is him every time. but jokes aside, this story is a lot more serious than it seems because although they claim otherwise, these police knew that the man requested a lawyer. they were just looking for an excuse to deny him his constitutional rights. here is what i think. if cops are going to take black slang so literally, it also has to work in black people's favor sometimes. all right. i want cops walking up to cars like sir do you know why i pulled you over, you are like no, i don't know my brother. >> oh, are you my brother, well, in that case, see you at

thanksgiving, go on, buddy. >> trevor: that's today's other news. we'll be right back. (applause) un-stop right there! i'm about to pop a cap of "mmm fresh" in that washer. with unstopables in-wash scent boosters by downy. and if you want, pour a little more. ah, it's so fresh. and it's going to last from wash to... ...wear for up to 12 weeks. right, freshness for weeks! unstopables by downy. for a fresh too feisty to quit.

>> trevor: welcome back to the daily show, my geses tonight is an actor, at vis and now a best selling author on "the new york times," her new book is called we are going to need more wine. please welcome gabrielle union. (applause) welcome tok to the show. >> nah. >> trevor: this is so amazing having you on and especially for something as fantastic as this book. i have always admired you. i have always loved your movies, have i always loved what you are doing, your career. but this book say little piece of everything. it's sad, it's funny, it's

complicated, it's you. >> it's me. >> trevor: was it frightening putting everything down between these two covers? >> no, it was actually freeing and liberating. and then we started spinning it to people and they started coming back with feedback like so brave. and i was like, have i said too much. that is when it got terrifying. >> trevor: right. >> because i write my truth and are you just like tossing your baby to the crowd hoping somebody catches it. >> trevor: you genuinely do write your truth in the book. you speak about in the book the challenge of living as a black woman and then also just working as an actor. and some people say don't bring up the fact that you are black. just be an actor and move on with your life. and you talk about how tough it is to balance those two. because you want to be considered an actor which you are but you can't deny the fact that you live as a black woman. >> listen, if there was a way that i could just be like now

forget this, and they're like she's not black at all. it turns out. like i would be so interested to know how many rooms i could get in. so no, i wish i had the luxury of saying i'm just an actress, but i'm not, i'm a black woman and my acting is completely informed by my blackness. >> trevor: in the book one of the most gripping chapters is when you speak about your experience with sexual assault. how did you work to overcome what had happened to you what somebody had done to you? >> therapy. and it's always weird to say that i had the luxury of being raped in a very affluent community with an underworked police department and underutilized rape crisis center. my workman's comp kicked right in, within the week. i got into therapy. i had parents that were like, this say problem that's bigger than us and we can't isolate you out of this. you know, a lot of, you know,

rape survivors are sort of-- people think that they can insulate them into wellness. my parents were like this is bigger than us. you need professional help. so literally as my face was still battered, i was unrecognizable, i when to my first therapy session and have i been in therapy for the last 25 years. and i credit that with my wholeness, my wellness, my soul being patched back together. and what can we do? my dad was guilty of this, when this was part of his sadness, the idea that you can price your way out of bad things happening to you or your children, or your families, that if you just move into the right suburb, if you send your kids to the right school, have just the right friends f they wear just the right thing f weed kate them, all of these things that we think insulate us from bad things happening, that-- and recognize that is not true. anyone, anywhere at any time can be the victim of sexual violence. >> trevor: one part of the

book i have to ask you about which is thoroughly engoi-- enjoyed is how proudly sex-positive you are. >> yes. >> trevor: and this is something i always enjoy because it genuinely reminded me of my mom. my mom used to embarrass me so much because she would alway want to talk about sex. and i be like no, you where a mom, how do you think i made you, baby, and i would be no, you know what i mean it really is beautiful because it is part of the conversation. you know, you speak about in the book, you are proud of it in the book and you talk about how, you know, you have theetion young girls who you speak to, younger generation who say you know, i'm comfortable, i watch porn and i have sex with my friends and-- you talk about in the book how like some of these young girls will go yeah, i suck my friend's diq an that's t-- dick and you say does he go down on you and they are like no and you are like that is not a good friendship. >> sex is something that is supposed to be mutd allly beneficial. and if are you going to be

superproud about c-- fellatio, he better be just as proud about his cunnilingis skills, let's keep it a hundred, this is the second marriage without when i'm talking about sex there hasn't been one penis in my life. and the idea that like i was just like magically waiting until, like my early 40s for dwayne wade's penis to show up,-- (laughter) (applause) so the sex i talk about in the book, just know it's been going on since the late '80s. (applause) so there you go. t we are a going to need for mine, win is available now, will you love the book as much as you love here, gabrielle union,

everybody. we'll be right back.
