hey, son. hi, dad. hey, um, good job at the rally today. i kinda stumbled there at the start, but, uh.. i think i nailed him with a good one. well, anyway, it was... it was pretty cool. sometimes a man's gotta do... what he thinks is right. yeah. i'm gonna call it a night. all right, son. good night. good night, dad. oh, and, uh... next time, don't wear black socks. you looked like an ass. how could they not catch you? i guess no one wants to tackle a naked guy. so true.

hey, you didn't, uh... you didn't see anything, did you? no. well... maybe just a bit, but not--not the bit. wait. what do you mean "bit"? captioning sponsored by comedy central november 30th, 2017 from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is the daily show with trevor noah. . >> trevor: welcome thank you so much. thank you for tuning in. i'm trevor noah. take a seat. you guys were wonderful. our guests, our guests tonight, the host of finding your roots,

dr. henry louis gates junior is joning us, everybody. first, do you guys watch james bond movies? a convicted war criminal makes a dramatic final exit. a war-time commander of bostonian forces drank a vial of poise after a judge upheld his 20-year sentence. >> honor role judges sloboban not a. paragraph he died short afterwards at hospital in the hague. >> either that guy didn't wants to go to jail or he was a big matt lauer fan. we'll never know. we'll never know.

it's a safe let you're a war criminal with easy access to poises, best i can do is knock back hotel shampoo and hope for the best. we learned that kellyanne conaway has been spearheading the administration's fight against the nation's opioid crisis. now, i know some critics will say kellyanne conaway doesn't have the right experience to tackle this but people, come on, she's worked for donald trump two years, you think she hasn't at least tried heroin a little bit? despite what the critics say, kellyanne anne conaway will end the crisis, because the truth is there is no opioid crisis, there never was. but we should be talking about is the hillary crisis, that's what the people want to talk

about right now. let's move on. right now, is a very special time for republicans. and not just because paul ryan is about to release his 2018 calendar paul year long. the senate is about to vote on its $1.5 trillion tax cut bill. and although tax cuts sounds excite, the republicans are using this as an opportunity to sneak through the policy wish list. the house version of the bill would allow churches to directly end adverse political candidates which would make for extreme interesting sermons and with jesus's final breath, he said, it is finished. but what's not finished at the race. so elect the next mayor. come on, you all. here's another thing, somehow, it grants personhood to feet

tosses which means roy moore dating pool got a little bit bigger. a woman will look at a piece and they will be like i'm pregnant, roy moore is at the door. even if the bills didn't include admissions they would still make it a lot harder to run education, health and social families the way that people are used to and need. and like it or not, like it or not, it looks as if the gop will probably be able to pass its cuts and you can tell that it's got their president in a good mood because yesterday, trump gave a speech from the inside of a christmas tree lot. and the dude has got his swagger bag >> hey, look, i'm president. i don't care. i don't care anymore, make america great again. you've never heard that expression. all those hats >> i will tell you this in a nonbrag docious way. there has never been a ten-month president that accomplished what

we have pleasured. >> trevor: i'm not going to fact check that. i'm just going to enjoy the idea of trump being a ten-month president. let's call it a day. a ten-month president. you did it. go home. >> i told you we would be saying merry christmas again. and they look like this, you know what this is? these massive tax cuts will be rocket fuel little rocket man rocket fuel for the american economy. he's a sick puppy. >> trevor: trump is having such a good time he started a sentence talking about taxes, slipped in his rocket man catch phrase and went right back to taxes he's like a cocky dj sampling different tracks. look what you made me do.

do, do, do, do. who is this guy? by the way, it's cocky for him to be like we're saying merry christmas again, it's christmas time, that's what happens. trump was having so much fun, and it was so entertaining that i almost didn't notice the blatant lies about the tax bill >> this will cost me a fortune. this is not good for me. me, it's not -- very wealth friends, do something for the wealthy, if it is, my friends don't know about it. . >> trevor: your friends are rich and stupid. you're going to cash out on this. we all know it. only thing we don't know fully is how much he stands to

benefit. unlike matt lauer penis we never saw his tax returns. getting rid of the estate tax alone will save trump's family over a billion. i will say this, in this family's case, i support that, because i think milania deserves every cent. give it to her. anyone who has had to deal with him so much deserves some kind of compensation. give it to her. to be honest, sometimes i'll ask myself, i go, why do we always have to talk about trump? but then i go, no, why does he always give us something to talk about? because no matter how hard you try, you can't avoid him. you can't. for instance, here's a story coming out of libia. north african country that used

to be run by ga dalphi looked like he forgot to shave. in obama's administration didn't stick around to help stabilize the country afterwards. so libia went from being africaly only debt free nation to a poverty stricken region where violence exploded. recently we discovered that this is happening. >> reports on slave trading in libia caused outrage around the world. my grants hoping to reach europe >> a man addressing an unseen town, big strong boys for farm work he said. 400. 700. 700? 800. you are watching an auction of human beings. >> they admitted to us there were 12 nigerians sold in front of us. and i don't know what to say.

>> trevor: i don't think anyone knows what to say in 2017 you don't expects the breaking news to be slave auctions are back. this is such a big story that the international criminal court is using cnn's report to investigate this issue. world leaders stepped in to condemn what was happening. the story started blowing up in the u.s. as well. l l cooljay, other celebrities have been lending their voice to the issue. basically international pressure was building on libia. and then this happened. >> we have new evidence that president trump's tweets can have real world consequences. over the weekend, you may remember he tweeted cnn international is still a major source of fake news. the outside world does not see the truth from them. >> a tweet is now impacting human lives of last week, they filed a powerful report on human slave auctions in libia >> an outlet is questioning the

validity of that report, trump said cnn lives what about the slave rereport from libia? >> are you -- me? you can't even escape trump in africa? like somehow at the same time, he's had his tax cutting christmas pageant in missouri and also in the slave markets of libia. for years he's been yelling fake news and now he has a live effect of the ideas that he tweets out. so the next time paul ryan or general kelly says come on, how bad can trump's tweets be? now you know. we'll be right back. look at this... a silicon valley server farm. the vault to man's greatest wonders... selfies, cat videos and winking emojis. speaking of tech wonders, with the geico app you can get roadside assistance, digital id cards... or even file a claim.

. president trump is brave man, but he has very specific fears. for example, he's totally arachnophobic, but of muslims >> president trump is not backing down from the international controversy he ignited by retweeting three inflammatory but unverified anti-muslim videos. >> one shows extremists throwing somebody off a roof. another showed a jihadist fighter destroying a christian statue and a third claimed to show an islamic immigrant in the netherlands attacking a dutch boy on crutches. >> trevor: i wish he would retweet a cat video, something fun. one team we'd open twitter and it would be like what did trump tweet? it's a kitten.

no, wait, no, no, it's a ku klux cat. you should meet the group where he got the video >> they were originally tweeted by a party called britain first. >> first shared by >> ada >> franson. >> and now donald trump has done jada franson a huge favor. >> was this a good day for you? very good indeed. . >> trevor: if you're so proud of being white, then why do you crews all that fake tan? we turn to our very own hasan

min haj everybody. as an american muslim it must be troubling and shocking to see the president of the united states sends out these videos. >> i'm not shocked. we were due, you know? trump islamphobic is like an m & m free style, you get a new one and it's slightly angrier than the past one. these videos are either totally out of context or straight up false. this fringe british group wants people to think brown boogeyman are coming to kill them. they recent showed a video of isis fighters but it wasn't isis, it was size cube. you idiots. you're mixing up your isis.

the muslimmy immigrants beating up a dutch boy? both those kids were dutch. the perpetrator wasn't a immigrant. roof video horrible but it happened during the unrest in 2013 the rival political factions. >> trevor: what about the st. joe's smashing >> he's a terrorist and a vandal and an asshole. no one is saying there's no such thing as terrorism. the point is the president is retweeting false videos to stoke islamphobic and even when it's obvious he's spreading bs >> what does sarah sanders defended the president saying the videos were real >> whether it's a real video, the threat is real. . >> trevor: killer jedi mind trick, that's like sarah saying hey, i don't need facts to be racist, i can just be racist.

trump doesn't need to send out fake stories, if he needs incriminating videos of muslims ask muslims, i got plenty of dirt on my phone, show my dad returning used under where costco. show my cousin lying to his parents about having a white girlfriend over thanksgiving now, that's a viral video, that's real sahil. i shouldn't have said his name. ok. . >> trevor: now that trump put those videos out, like where do we go from here >> trevor, this type of religion fear mongering from donald trump, it's bad for everyone, not just muslim, it's dangerous for america. look at what trump's words do to people.

. >> trevor: had an that video had nothing to do with donald trump >> whether it's real video, the threat is real. all smartphones are more or less the same, right? but this is the moto z. hello moto. can your phone turn into a projector? because a 70 inch projection beats any phone screen. and they might be bragging about portrait mode. but can your phone go beyond and transform into a real 360 camera? it's time to reinvent your smartphone. it's time to move on. moto mods on the new moto z, from motorola. available at all major carriers. ayep, and my teeth are yellow.? time for whitestrips. crest glamorous white whitestrips are the only ada-accepted whitening strips proven to be safe and effective. and they whiten 25x better than a leading whitening toothpaste. crest. healthy, beautiful smiles for life.

♪ ♪ . >> trevor: had an min. >> trevor: my sgefguest is a had scholar. >> it's the last known slave ship to come to america. your family settled less than two miles from an area are you ready for this?

known as africatown, she was founded by survivors of the clotildem clotildem. >> i'm frozen >> every african-american we know wants to know where in africa they came from and how they came here. you are the only african-american i've ever met who can name the ship. >> trevor: please welcome dr. henry louis gates junior. . >> trevor: what an amazing honor it is to have you not just because of the work you've done and what you stand for, i'm such a fan of the series and what

people saw just now was mind blowing. not just for us, but for quest love himself. explain a bit of that episode that's coming up, please. >> it's an incredible story the slave strayed to the united states i was abolished in 1808 but slavery didn't end until the 13th amendment but the trade ended in 1808 and in before it in 1807. there was a southern businessman that made a bet with a northern businessman that he could sneak a boat load of illegal slaves into the united states. and he did. came in 1860, a year before the civil war started. and it would -- somewhere between 110 and 160 slaves who left from wheata in dahuma and quest love's third great grandparens charlie and maggie louis were on that ship. . >> trevor: are there people who

come to your show and afraid of what they will discover? if you're african-american you may be going, wow, i want to know because this is something i don't have. i'm assuming, i mean, like for instance i know there's an episode of dr. phil where you go, what if my family was slave owners? and that's what dr. phil discovers? >> not only that, one of his ancestors was murdered by a slave. >> wow. >> yes, and then, the white man, descended killed the slave, stood trial and basically patted him on the hand and he was free to go. but you know what the big fear of african-americans is being too white. . >> trevor: are you serious >> here's a total shock of the average african-american is 24% european. you're 50% european. i looked in my crystal ball and figured that out. . >> trevor: is that because some people fear that in some way it did diminish here blackness? >> yes. . >> trevor: i know edward is one

of the people in the serious and in ava's series you discover that she's the descend ent on french slave owner whose to fled the haitian revolution. >> fled the island that became the richest colony in the world's at that time time because of sugar and ava descended from a white man who was a slave owner and the woman who gave birth to their children was a mix race but at the end she has goes, i'm black, because she's 57% african. you want to be a little bit but not too mixed, but brian gumble, he's 65% european and 7% jewish he wanted to know where his name came from and it comes from a german man named carl gumble who

came to the united states in 1863 and we traced back two more generations who was a skinazi jew. and one of the brilliant things about our show shows everybody is mixed. there is no racial pursuit tea. . that's why when you see these horrific images of white supremists, they're dreaming of a world that never existed. there never was this racial pure tea. that's why all of us have to stand up whenever white supremacy rears it's uglily and heinous head. we have to stand up. . >> trevor: i want to watch ever single episode. i'm so honored to have you on the show. thank you so much for being here. dr. gates, everybody, finding your roots tuesday at 8:00 p.m. on pbs. we'll be right back.
