no-more-pie. ( grunt ) >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: thank you so much, everybody! welcome to "the daily show"! thank you so much for tuning in! ( cheers and applause ) you guys are amazing! thank you so much!

i'm trevor noah. tonight actor, model and author ashley graham is joining us, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: first, yesterday, hollywood kicked off award season with the golden globes, and since this was the first major industry gathering since the harvey weinstein scandal broke, everyone tuned in and, without fail, women made it very clear that time was up for gender inequality, which clearly made some of the penis owners in the crowd very uncomfortable. ( laughter ) >> we are honored to be here to present the award for best director. ( cheers and applause ) >> and here are the all-male nominees. ( laughter ) >> steven spielberg,.

>> trevor: that's so cool! they look like they just got accused of sexual harassment! steven spielberg! no, not me. christopher nolan, no, no pictures, no pictures! ( laughter ) men really have no idea how to handle this movement. even cool guys like justin timberlake got called up. he inns grappled a picture with the caption "damn my wife is hot! #blacklivesmatter. #bringbackourgirls. #911neverforget." come on, j.t., you can't throw in an activist hashtag on a random post. throw in random posts. those are different posts, justin! ( laughter ) but the high light of the night was obviously oprah winfrey. ( cheers and applause ) she won a lifetime achievement award and her speech was one that made many people feel like maybe oprah wasn't done achieving things just yet.

>> it is not lost on me that, at this moment, there are some little girls watching as i become the first black woman to be given the same award. ( cheers and applause ) for too long, women have not been heard or believed, if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men. but their time is up. the new day is on the horizon when nobody ever has to say "me, too" again! ( cheers and applause ) thank you! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: yes, we can! ( laughter ) am i the only one who had that feeling? yeah, feels like this is oprah 2020. come on. ( cheering ) yeah. whatever you do, though, oprah, don't use e-mails! whatever you do, don't use e-mails! ( laughter ) i will say, i can see how oprah seems like the perfect opponent for donald trump.

i mean, she's everything that he's not. she's black, she's a woman, she likes to read. ( laughter ) they're the complete opposite! i mean, i bet if we looked into it, we would find donald trump once repossessed 100 people's cars. i get a car! i get a car, i get a car! ladies, look under your skirts, it's me! ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) but while everyone is talking about being ruled by a talk show host, the reality is right now everyone is ruled by a reality show host. this weekend president trump continued his battle against his greatest rival, a book. ( laughter ) we meet again, my old foe. this time -- ow! wayer cut! i surrender! ( laughter ) by now, you've probably seen all the stories that have come from the new book, "fire and fury." it's a book that exposes many

things about donald trump, his weird eating habits, sleeping habits, toothbrush -- basically, the guy's weird. but there is one thing this book says that is far worse than a scandal about colluding with russia or seeing the good parts in nazis. >> it reignites questions about the president's mental stability. >> one of the more scathing claims is more than 100 people around the president question his intelligence and fitness pore the office. >> the people around trump thinks he is unfit and acts like a child. >> the president is repeating stories. "used to be inside of 30 minutes he would repeat word for word and expression for expression the same three stories." that was within 10 minutes. >> trevor: o juicy gossip aside, that last detail is a scary thought. the president of the united states is mentally slowing down, which means apple needs to provide him a new battery for

$29. ( laughter ) if someone wrote a book at you not being mentally fit and you knew it was lies, a smart person would ignore the bill (bleep) and carry on with his life, but donald trump is not that person. >> yesterday morning mr. trump fired back at questions about his mental fitness with this tweet "throughout my life my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart... not smart but genius and a very stable genius at that ." >> trevor: this is, like, really funny. ( laughter ) only donald trump could defend himself and in the same sentence completely undermine his whole point. it would be like someone saying i'm the most tall rant guy out there, just ask this filthy armenian. ( laughter ) and then he goes on to say is not only is he, like, really smart, he's also a genius, and not just any genius, no, no, no, a stable genius, which i guess is einstein if he owned a comb, i think? ( laughter ) but, still, do you know how

dilutionlely confident and unself-aware you have to be to go on twitter and declare yourself a stable genius? that's the ultimate challenge. it's like a drunk driver getting pulled over by the cops and the cop is like, sir, can you step out of the car and the drunk driver is, like, oh, i'll step out of this car and i'll step out straight. i'm gonna bloon moon walk your line, man. call yore other cop friends! i'm a sober genius! i love ya. i'm gonna throw up now. ( laughter ) now, look, whether or not you agree with trump on being a genius, he has added himself to the illustrious group of people who have declared themselves extremely smart. >> this summer did the minority executive training program at yale. you guys, i'm, like, really smart now. >> i'm smart, you're dumb. >> i can handle things! i'm smart! not like everybody says! >> i am so smart! i am so smart.

smrt -- i mean smart! >> trevor: homer is now 20 points up in the polls. stable genius, really? ( laughter ) >> trevor: trump is stable, twitter, golf, bedtime, cheeseburger, nyum, nyum, nyum, fall asleep, do it again. he's the only thing that's not changed since he was president, he is stable and made everyone ems unstable. even kim jong un, before trump, he was is nut bag autocrat running around saying he was going to blow up the world, and then trump shows up and he's in a suit, hey, i've got to try to be a better person. south korea, you guys want to talk? ( laughter ) no one wants to seem like they're losing their mind. i think see him at camp david. >> he was meeting with congressional public leet leaders this weekend, mr. trump lashed out at critics and offered a fill scale defense of his credentials. >> i consider it a work of

fiction and i think it's after disgrace if someboy's able to have something, do something like that -- >> trevor: is able to have something, do something -- what was i talking about? oh, quo, the book, the book. ( laughter ) he can't even maintain his train of thought or maybe he just got thrown off his game because of casual mitch over here. what are you wearing, mitch mcconnell? ( laughter ) what the hell is that? yo, for real, someone needed to filibuster those jeans, man! ( laughter ) and he knows it. you can see in his eyes, i'm not pulling this off. i'm not pulling this off at all. ( laughter ) now, look, of course, trump was always going to come out and tell us he has a very good brain. what was fun was watching the grownups around him pretend that they don't see what's blatantly obvious. >> president trump is completely capable. >> i don't think he's crazy. >> no one questions the stability of the president. >> i've never questioned his mental fitness.

i have no reason to question his mental fitness. >> trevor: why would i question it? i already know what the answer is. ( laughter ) you know, to be honest with you, if i hadn't had a year to get used to this, i would be really pissed off right now because these people aren't just saying that donald trump is of sound mind, they're basically saying that all of us are mentally unstable for questioning him. but the truth is we all knew this about donald trump. we all knew that he was crazy. in fact, they said this about trump. >> i think he's a cook. i think he's crazy. i think he's unfit for office. >> trevor: but now that he's won, he's our crazy, so he's not crazy, so you're crazy, blubber blubber blubber blubber. ( laughter ) i guess what the republicans are saying is this -- yes, donald trump was a deranged lunatic unfit to be president, but once he won the electoral college, then he became a stable genius, because everyone knows nothing

turns a man sane like absolute power. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause )

the more i persevered and said, really, i'm going to keep working hard, because that's the kind of family i come from, i don't take no for an answer and i finish what i started, then you can have whatever you want as long as you know your dreams are attainable. >> trevor: and you didn't just work hard at it. you had to work hard against an industry that in many ways told you you didn't belong. >> yes. >> trevor: how does modeling deal with that paradox? it feels like one. modeling goes, like, this is what modeling is. >> right. >> trevor: and now there are new voices coming forward and saying, no, this is not what modeling should be about. >> i hit really low times in my life where i thought i wasn't good you enough. i was in a terrible relationship where my boyfriend chased me around the table with a butcher knife and i stayed with him because my confidence was so low. it's in those moments i share with the reader and let them know, i was just like you, i hated who i was, but you can have whatever you want. and i had to explain that to people in the model industry.

and i think explaining myself, telling my truth and really truly who i am is what got me to where i am today because now people want to hear from models. we're not just silent pretty little girls anymore. we're big, bold women who have something to say. >> trevor: people wrestle with that a bit. they go, like, is it plus size, curvy, what are people supposed to be saying? but i love you said my size. >> right, because people have always put a label on me and that label has always been plus size, but if you look at the average size american woman, she is a size 14. >> trevor: right. >> so why are we categorizing women because to have the number inside of their pants? we don't need to do that. we don't do that to men. >> trevor: fortunately.
