1:42 am
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. we have two guests tonight, first we're talking to one of the rare anti-trump voices in his party, republican senator jeff flake, joining us on the show. and then, and then a great comedian and creator of the amazon show one mississippi, tig notaro is going to be joining us as well. but first, but first, yesterday was the new york city marathon and if you are an american, finally some good news. congratulations to shalane flanagan who just became the first american woman in 40 years to win the new york city marathon. congratulations. (applause). >> trevor: wow.
1:43 am
yeah. and i understand why people were loving this moment, an american woman ran a race in november and won. wow. yeah. doesn't that feel good? what was even more impressive was that james comey tried to tackle her right before the finish line. even the african runners who she beat were like you know what, i would be sad but america has had it hard, yeah. it's about time something went right for them. you can take it this year. you can take it. oh, and this weekend wasn't just big for the running community. the world of hip-hop had news of its own. >> sean combs form earle la known as p. diddy decided to mark his 40th birthday by changing his name yet again, have a look. >> i decided to change my name again. i am just not-- i'm just not who i am, before. i'm something different. so my new name is love, aka
1:44 am
brother love. >> trevor: that's right, ladies and gentlemen, diddy is dead, long live brother love. now look, i don't mind diddy changing his name. but doing it on your birthday is a really inconsiderate move. right? first of all, what name do people now sing in the song. happy birthday dear did-- brother love aka love brother love, it's just going to be chaos. they are going to come out with the cake and did didly will be like why is the top of my cake missing. well, i don't know, why did you change your name. can you imagine if you got him a custom monday grammed robe, everybody is mad like who the hell is p. diddy, huh, huh, brother love is not feeling the love right now. so just to recap, there was puff duedy-- puff daddy, puff, puffy, sean john, diddy, p. diddy, rex tillerson and now brother love.
1:45 am
so many names. but happy birthday, diddy. let's move on now to some international news. 2017 has been a difficult year for japan. china has been increasingly aggressive in imclaing the east china sea. north korea launched missiles all around their country. and now this. >> president trump has kicked off a five nation tour of asia with a visit to japan. >> while here in japan the president has talked about-- urging japanese businesses to do more to sell goods and make goods inside the united states. >> they also spent much of their time discussing the north korean threat. >> there has never been such a close relationship between the leaders of two countries, these two countries, japan and the united states. melania and ri deeply grateful for the warm welcome we received in your remarkable country. >> trevor: poor japan, man. once again they have to deal with an out of control monster with tiny hands.
1:46 am
(laughter) now-- (applause) now the reason japan needs trump is because japan needs america. for the last 70 years japan has relied on the u.s. for military protection because something happened to japan's military, i don't know. anyway president trump got there this weekend and judging from the itinerary the japanese have been stalking trump's pint pinterest. >> the two leaders had hamburgers, played nine rounds of golf and fed koi fish at the palace. the two leaders met at a golf club signing hats made for the occasion, donald and shinzo make alliance even greater. >> trevor: that's so cute. donald and shinzo have could mem rattive hats. it looks less like a diplomatic supernear and more more like a novel tee gift from a bachelorette party. i am surprised it didn't have a
1:47 am
penis sticking out of it, that is all that was mission. by the way how did they go from america make america great again to donald and shindzo make alliance even greater. is that one of those awkward translation things, the same way fast and the furious was released in japan as angry cars zoom at speed excess starring vin diesel and crazy instagram tiereese. of course, of course, the president of the united states didn't fly all the way to japan just to play golf and eat hamburgers. which by the way is what he already does in america all the time. so it is like he's in japan and he's eating hamburgers? trump is the kind of tourist who travels to an exotic land but still goes to their mcdonald's. you know folks, it's so different here n my country, i order a big mack and fries. but over here, have i to order a big mac and fries! (laughter)
1:48 am
but, but trump wasn't just there for the golf and burger. he was also there to tell japan whose boss. >> we have built one of theworld's most powerful economies. i don't know if it's as good as ours, i think not. and we're going to try and keep it that way. but you'll be second. >> trevor: you know, someone should tell donald trump to always stop speaking after his first sentence. because every time that's where it goes wrong. i am sorry about the death of your husband. but he knew what he signed up for. the charlottesville nazis were bad, but there were some very fine people. i have the utmost respect for mothers, when women have babies their boobs get real big. it is always the second line. and japan's prime minister didn't even flinch when trump
1:49 am
basically dissed him. but i guess that is because this isn't the first time that trump's mouth has brought great shame to his people. >> donald trump according to the japan times newspaper made comments that he couldn't understand why a country of samurai warriors didn't shoot down north korean missiles. >> trevor: you know, i don't know what is worse, that trump thinks japan still has samurai, or that he thinks samurai warriors were trained in missile device-- defense. i feel like trump only knows two things about japan and neither of them is right. like i wouldn't be shocked if 2078 trump said i don't understand how the same people without can catch shrimp in their hadds at benihanna can't intercept a missile, folks. so now that was part one of trump's trip to asia. tomorrow he heads to south korea where he will probably shove chop sticks up his nose and pretend that he is a walrus. so stay tuned because we will be chatting with senator jeff flake

1:54 am
please welcome senator jeff flake. (applause) welcome to the show. >> thanks for having me on. >> trevor: so good to have you here, especially considering recent events. a lot of people saw you make a speech that is i guess sent goose bumps down people's spines because you came out and spoke out snot not just against the ideas that donald trump was so pro, but also to the very fundamental ideals of what american politics should be. discourse, sharing of ideas, people moving forward, and understanding of fact. when you were writing that speech and when you are about to embark on that moment, do you also realize how crazy the situation is that you were in? >> i think so. i think so. i mean for a long time i have been concerned. way back before the campaign, when donald trump started, you
1:55 am
know, years ago questioning barack obama's birth place, for example, that's wrong. you just shouldn't do that. it has no place in politics. he's continued. and he continued through the campaign and has continued through the presidency. so what i wanted to say in that speech was this is not normal. and-- but we shouldn't accept it as normal. >> trevor: right. >> this kind of degradation of political culture. and it really strikes me, and i think a lot of us, we shouldn't assume that our kids should have to think that this is normal. >> trevor: yes. >> how politics are waged. and so i do think that it was important to say. >> trevor: you are saying it's not normal means one thing but what about it not being normal should we be worried about? >> well, i think when discourse is as donald trump has waged politics, when you can't say anything good about your opponents, when you refer to your opponents on the other side
1:56 am
of the aisle as clowns or losers, then in order to fix the big things that we need to fix, and there are some big things out there, $20 trillion in debt, we need tax reform, we need immigration reform, these things are only fixed if we reach across the aisle when both parties say all right, let's share the political risk. you can't do that when you have a president who just assumes the worst in people. >> trevor: you are working in an environment where you write, create and mold legislation. we saw just yesterday the unfortunate events that unfolded in texas. once again, the debate around gun control spirals. you know, into every sphere, twitter, facebook, people are fighting on tv. i honestly do wonder as a lawmaker, why is it, why does it feel that nothing gets done, there are thoughts and prayers and yet no laws get passed.
1:57 am
is there something you can and should be doing? wump stocks is a good example, after what happened in vegas, that seemed like okay, there will be some move and yet nothing has been done. >> right. i think with regard to bump stocks i think something will be done. the agencies are looking at it now. the agency that implements, the alcohol, tobacco and fire arms. >> trevor: but they can't do anything about it, because of a loophole that prohints them from investigating something that isn't a fire arm. and will that loophole be closed. it feels like there is a roundabout of everything, they go the atf can handle it. the aff goes we can't handle this part, that is not a fire arm and there say loophole that excludes us from investigating that. >> i do think they can. they can google that, any device that makes a semiautomatic weapon act like an automatic weapon should be banned. if they can't, congress should legislation. and i'm there to support that i said all along you shouldn't be able to make a semiautomatic weapon an automatic weapon for all intendeds and purposes.
1:58 am
another thing that we need with the recent shooting, it seems as though the air force didn't inform local authorities that this person had been convicted in a military court, information sharing doesn't happen. it doesn't happen with regard to those with mental illnesses either. the system is incomplete, the know what other state has done. so those are the things we can and should legislate, i have sponsored legislation in the past to do that. >> trevor: before i let you go, you have an interesting relationship with regards to immigration and workers coming in from other countries because you grew up, your family was in cattle ranches so you had to hire immigrants to come and work. when you look at that, someone said jeff flake, why didn't your family hire americans, why did she they hire mexican people to come and help with your kealt, how do you respond. >> i did grow up on a ranch,
1:59 am
what, i grew up on a ranch with ten brothers and sisters, it still wasn't enough to work the ranch. >> trevor: right. >> we hired mexican my grant labor. they worked hard. sometimes we would hire my friends from school, who would last a day or two. but i mentioned in an op ed i recently wrote, a man by the name of manual chieda who came across when he was 16 years old, worked on our ranch for 24er yoos and then raised his family. and living the american dream. as is his family. all he had to offer was a strong back and the willingness to work. >> trevor: right. >> and america is et abouter because he's here. and i think that that has been the immigrant experience more than anything. i have never been able to look at people like him, he came initially illegally but have i never been able to look at him and people like him as a criminal class. they wanted to make a better life for their family. they are americans by choice. and obviously these days we can't have open boards,
2:00 am
shouldn't have open borders. we've got to guard against terrorism and things like that but we ought to recognize that you know, this say pretty good place. and those who come here usually want a better life, and they're willing to work for it and our country is better off for it. and i hope that in the future republican party gets back to being known for that, and then not blame or scapegoating immigrant groups. it's going to be an interesting 14 months. >> trevor: conscience of a conservative is available now. senator jeff flake. senator jeff flake. we'll be right back. junior! what's up, what's up, what's up? senator jeff flake. we'll be right back. do i know you? dewey ryder. i'm the new you, i'm the new model, i'm the upgrade. oh, nobody told you? no. oh, this is awkward. ya know, i'm gonna be driving race cars around super-fast in circles. ridin' wild mountain dew all the time. i'll take this, thank you. you just go on, go ahead and clear frame.

(applause). >> trevor: welcome back to the
2:05 am
daily show, my next guest is a comedian who createdded and stars in the amazon series one mississippi. >> it is possible to-- what if i want to pray the gay to stay? >> we don't want that. we want to you stop that sinful stuff. >> and stop talking about it on your show. >> well, it's my show and if i remember correctly, there's still a first amendment so feel free to not listen my show. >> here's a pam flet and that's my number on the back if case you need to discuss anything further, nikki. >> nikki, stop flirting with me. >> trevor: please welcome tig notaro. (applause) welcome to the show. >> thanks. >> trevor: that was a funny clip. no, you know what, because sometimes you watch a clip and are you like oh, the show is funny but the clip is sometimes
2:06 am
note, that was a funny clip. >> that was funny. >> the clip is funny, the show is is a horror. >> it is a really funny show, season one was really, you know, you playing this character who is very closely linked to who are you in real life, you play a radio show host and you know she dealt with her issues with cancer which is very similar to what we know you are experiencing in real life, season two feels like it's you living through the world we are now under trump s that correct? >> for sure. we went back into the writers room in january right after trump went into office and so the first season of one mississippi, being originally from mississippi, it was important for me to show beauty in the state and within the people and then season two is
2:07 am
just kind of irresponsible to not go into more of a reality or darker side, and what is going on,ñi especially after these elections. >> trevor: yeah. you also have your wife in the show, and-- you're partners. >> yeah, yeah. >> trevor: in the show so what mi saying, do you, like, who chooses how each of you comes off in the show. because you are writing a version of yourselves. how do you choose when are you like oh, she says something really dumb and you are like oh, is that really me? is that-- how do you do that? >> well, luckily we have a better relationship than what you just acted out. it really is, it's been fun to show our relationship unfold on camera, there are certainly
2:08 am
moments from our lives that we have withheld but i done know, there's not too much that we're holding back. it's just the same situation in a different surrounding. and you know, there's a moment or two that pops up where we're like, i don't want to shall-- . >> trevor: you don't want to share that. >> i don't want to share that or we might talk each other into sharing something that we didn't want to season three will be interesting if it happens. >> trevor: let's talk about the writers room. you have received a lot of praise and credit for having an all-women writers room. was that an intentional choice or did you just go with oh, these are the people who best understand the story i'm trying to tell? >> well, being in this writers room you have to really be showing up willing to share everything. and we have-- we had a man on
2:09 am
the writers, in the writers room last season. and this season it was just, it really did feel like these are the six people that will work, will work on the show perfectly, what we're looking for, and it is kind of a group therapy. i mean really, like every other day somebody's having a bit of a boo huai-- boo hoo, and st a comedy but yeah, it's very real moments that are being touched upon. >> trevor: if you were to create a season three, where would you take the journey. where does tig go? >> tig goes probably even deeper in to exploring love and, i'm
2:10 am
sitting here thinking there's only so much i can say because i haven't gotten a third season. >> trevor: you don't want to shall. >> and there's five other writers that i work with that might be watching this going well, i done think that that is going to happen. or maybe my wife doesn't agree as well. but i'm sitting here going yeah, and then i will do this and maybe-- and then, i can't, have i no idea what is going to happen. >> trevor: either way i'm going to watch t thank you so much for being on the show. >> thank you for having me. >> trevor: thank you for being here. it is available on amazon, tig notaro, everybody, we'll be right back.
