it's like reverse show time at the apollo. you know what it looks like? before they got to the state of the union blue ivy was, you know the deal, relax, relax. now because the state of the union is live just like it is here you're bound to make mistakes, i just made one here when i was telling you these jokes. watching a trump speech is like watching him cover mistakes. he screws up all the time many, it's normal. but for him, it's not a mistake, it's an opportunity to redefine reality. he's introducing a homeland security agent, cj. his name is only cj. >> here tonight is one leader in the effort to defend our country. homeland security investigation special agent celestino.

he said he goes by dj or cj. call me either one. be we'll call you cj. >> trevor: what? so confusing, i'm going to call you the name you already had, that's what i'm going to do, irfix it folks. now tonight donald trump talked about a few things he would like to do. he would like to reduce prescription drug prices, didn't say how. he said he would like to have some nonwall infrastructure stuff but the big thing he talked about was el immigration. >> a bispart sedan approach to immigration reform. here are the four pillars to our plan, a path to citizenship, a path for 1 million immigrants

who were brought here by their parents, the visa lottery, that hands out advice as without ending chain migration. >> trevor: those are the four pillars of migration. is it reminds me of my four kids. eric is, like, dad you have five kids. like i said, four pillars. what he was really saying was, i'll give you the dreamers and we shut everything else down. basically dreamers, close the door behind you. in fact president trump has an interesting take on what a dreamer actually is. >> my duty and the duty of everyone in this chamber is to

defend americans protect their safety their communities their families and their right to the american dream because americans are dreamers, too. (applause) >> trevor: damn, can this guy all lives matter, the dreamers, americans are dreamers too. don't get me wrong i'm not saying americans aren't dreamers but the term dreamers is used to define a hope that young people brought to america by their parents had. now it's for trump, people who sleep i guess. what kind of scrooge is it, i'm sorry kids, there are only so many dreams to go around, bring them back. it wasn't about limiting immigrants coming in, he also wanted to hear stories, so many stories about ms 13 and alien terrorists and other antiimmigrant trips, i wouldn't

be surprised if the teleprompter was tuned ofox and friends all the time. stoking fear about an entire group of people and in the very same speech wrap it up with a thought like this. >> so to every citizen watching at home tonight no matter where you've been or where you've come from, this is your time. if you work hard, if you believe in yourself, if you believe in america, then you can dream anything, you can be anything. >> trevor: as long as you're from norway. all you other losers stay in your shit holes. we'll be right back. we'll be right back.

normal speech and thinks trump is okay? >> just a normal american, with a penis that was described as oh fine. >> trevor: but michael -- >> i've got a $1,000 bonus from starbucks and i don't even work there. >> trevor: he didn't throw identity new policies for the future? >> you want to have new policies? how about put a roof on the wall you go crazy. accept that things are going great. >> trevor: michael i have to push backen that. be not everything is going great, especially for dreamers or puerto ricans. >> i'm a white man. can't you be happy for me? i'll be happy for you. i'll be in the movies yelling for the black panther right

(cheering and applause) >> trevor: welcome back. to the daily show, my guest tonight is a pulitzer prize winning author, david remnick.

good to have you back on. let's jump straight into it. i know it just happened and we all just watched it but do you have any initial thoughts on the speech any themes that jumped out for you? >> i think you're right. i think a lot of people are going to get on television and they're going to see a guy who didn't melt like the wicked witch of the west, didn't scream or go berserk, or didn't start tweeting in the middle of the speech, donald trump truly became president of the united states and grew into his job, no, no. he didn't just read from the teleprompter for what seems like three and a half hours. >> is it a statement of intent or should we look at it as a night where donald trump has a recital and we all go home?

>> it can be extremely important this past presidencies and these are speeches that are labored over for months, not just the craft or the rhetoric of it but the policy direction of the country. >> trevor: right. >> you had lyndon johnson speak going race or all kinds of presidents laying out initiatives that are going to take you forward. >> trevor: right. >> and it's very striking to me that clearly the core of the speech tonight was about immigration. and you would think that the most essential part of immigration is our fear of immigration. he talked about mf 13 admitly a gang, a horrible manifestation or side manifestation of american life as if it were way more important than something he never mentioned once in the speech, climate change which is going to change change or planet, already change being our planet in terms of radical

weather events, economies, the life and death of people in all kinds of countries including our own. not mentioned once. this is an existential question, but mf 13 which has admitly caused trouble in the lives of people and is a real problem but not something that can't be solved. >> trevor: but isn't this a product of a president who schools most of his information from fox news. there's a lot of segments ced caited to the immigrants who are immigrants who are creating the crimes. >> we all have seems like ten years now but it's only a year of that morning phenomenon of the president watching fox and friends tweeting and then causing the country to be in an

uproar for the next 24 hours. this is not a healthy phenomenon and it happens every single day. >> trevor: when you look at the plans trump had in the speech, he may not be roblg them out, but he did have something interesting, he did say he wants to work on prison reform. >> absolutely. >> trevor: giving prisoners a second chance at life. there are ideas in the speech where it seems like donald trump was trying to strike a conciliatory tone, is that lip service or do you think highly of he'll remember what he says today? >> in certain times of life, donald trump was kind of semi liberal. he used to be pro-choice for example until he was not pro-choice. >> trevor: he chose not to be. >> all right, so -- be (laughter) >> and it's noted that both on

the left and the right, now in america, there is some recognition that mast incarceration is a horror, we put people in jail that far outstrip anywhere in the world, across the board, conservatives and liberals recognize that this is a disaster. he is paying at least some rhetorical lip service what he'll do about it was not suggested tonight but maybe there will be something, i don't know. same with infrastructure. that is not a ideological question, fly into kennedy and you feel like you're flying into somewhere else, one airport after another, a train station, a bad road. it's just not worthy of an economy like ours. so that is not an ideologicallyl

question. the republican congress had no interest in doing things like improving rail service along the east coast. >> trevor: he has some ideas contrary to what republicans have espoused for a long time -- >> credit for things that were obama administration initiatives. for example the policy of the assault on i.s.i.s. it is the extension of the policy of the obama administration. the lowering unemployment with a trend line that came right out of the obama administration. he took credit for all kinds of things having to do with the automobile industry tonight. last i looked, the obama administration rescued the automobile industry in the way that the republican party wanted no part of as you recall. i don't think he mentioned that tonight. >> trevor: he definitely didn't mention obama. >> no but he dissed him a number of times. >> trevor: i was surprised he

didn't mention the fbi, i'm surprised he didn't mention the memo that the lawmakers had voted to release to the public. >> tonight was not the night. that will come on tweets wednesday, thursday, friday. >> trevor: that's my point, that's an interesting idea, should we compartmentalize trump into two, three different people? it's like hyde and hyde or jesse cooorjeckyl and jeckyl. >> you read off the teleprompter, you get a lot of narratives that touch the heart, we saw a number of those. that's a pattern that you have seen in these speeches since the reagan administration. that is set in stone. and they wanted no disasters. but meanwhile what's happening behind the scene? you've got a president that's

facing obstruction of justice charges. you've got a president who has said nothing of any substance whatsoever, that our russian adversaries interfered with the democratic process with the democratic elections. >> trevor: even voting against the advantages saying he's not going to impose sanctions against russia. >> he opposed the regime of iran and -- >> trevor: it's mmentf 18 and . we're running out of time. good to see you. you could also hear david every weekend ton new yorker hour. david remnick everybody, we'll be right back.

>> trevor: well, that's our live show for tonight. that's our show. stay tuned..."the opposition with jordan klepper" is coming up next. now, here it is... your moment of zen. >> that night our new administration had already taken very swift action. don't laugh at that. forget everything you just heard. for the last minute this adorable man has been delling you dimpled lives. the daily show is a past.

this is the opposition. this is the now and tonight we've got our marching orders. >> this in fact is our new american moment. there has never been a better time to start living the american dream. >> jordan: yes. a new american moment. that's what trump is all. democrat like registered republican bob mueller keeps living in the past investigating all dusty evidence including who colluded. not trump he never talks about the 2016 election. the future, you remember which trump called people shit holes or had a relation with stormy manafort. that's the past. this is the new american moment. harken back to some better time in america like 2008 or 2012. find make a america great again

or something stupid. americans would never vote for that. so stop dreaming about what donald trump did and wake up in a cold swept thinking about all all -- cold sweat things about all the thing he's about to do. wake up america because that moment is starting now. >> this in fact is our new american moment. 2.2 million new jobs. judge neil gorsuch and other things. isis, terrorism. democrats. kneeling during our national anthem. i don't like mosquitoes. i alone can fix it. may god bless you and may god bless america. [ captioning sponsored by comedy central cheers and applause]

>> jordan: yes. the union is strong. i'm jordan klepper, this is the opposition. it's already january 30th and we are live, everybody. can you feel it? [crowd cheering] yes. lots to get. my opponent tonight are lauren duca and cohost of the breakfast club charlemagne tha god. first it's official. the union has been sated. and opposers, we won. tonight donald trump gave the state of the union address with the theme making america safe, strong and proud. which also happens to be the tag lie of our opposition bleed free or die maxi pads. safe, strong and proud. you guys know it. the state of the union is a big event. it's like the grammies but less political. everyone comes prepared. in fact msnbc has had the tie

rod ready for the last 13 months. awaiting trump's departure from the white house. yes. i bet you are. get used to it msnbc you'll be using that once in the next 17 years. it's going to start big. trump enters the chamber led by his cabinet. got all the businessmen. rex tillerson. steve menuchin. betsy develocity. they turned straw into gold. jeff sessions that was literally his job. also in attendance my man neil gorsuch. look at him looks like his head is on a dime. so stoic, stiff. joyless. the judge i wouldn't mind sharing a sobering nod with. betrump's speech tonight was a trial fant call for bipartisanship. he's a unifier. he's been a unifier for as many minutes as i can remember. >> tonight i call upon all of us

to set aside our differences. to seek out common ground. i'm asking both parties to come together. i'm extending an open hand to work with members of both parties, democrats and republicans. >> jordan: i just think how much goodwill he could deliver with that giant open hand. you could fit a cruise ship in that mitt. the fact is trump was reaching across the aisle the entire time. he couldn't get the gent to stand and acknowledge his greatness. apparently we got obamacare back because democrat legs don't work. probably why trump delivered almost his entire speech to the republican side of the room. trump's vision is like a t. rex. based on applause. now trump's speech was incredibly presidential. but there were parts that were a little too presidential. what was your big take away from the speech tonight. >> jordan, that speech was a

total disaster. he used punctuation, conjugated verbs. who the hell talks like this. the die hard trumpers don't want this polished swamp speaker we want rally trump. the guy who talks to the common man the forgotten man and all the bakbasic bitches. [applause] >> no one really talks presidential out in the bars in wisconsin. that's where the common man lives jordan. we can't forget those people. let me take some presidential clips from the speech tonight and ma go maga them back into tp speech. >> we all share the same heart, the same heart, the same destiny and the same great american flag. >> burn your passport because america's first and traveling is for traitors. also don't trust your fake news bank statement you're rich now, baby. hashtag
