- oh, thank god. - hey, stan, my computer says we're not friends anymore? - my facebook profile went rogue, dad. had to go into the circuitry and do battle with it. i sent all my friends somewhere else. - oh, okay. so we're--we're not friends then? - [bleep] off, dad. [beep] - ahhhh. ahhahahahahahaha! captioning sponsored by comedy central >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: thank you, everybody! welcome to "the daily show." thank you for tuning in. take a seat. i'm trevor noah. our guest tonight, univision anchor and author to talk about his book jorge ramos. let's start with what went down this afternoon at the white house. president trump held a roundtable with lawmakers to talk face-to-face about guns, and i've got to tell you, he didn't say what you'd expect. >> the reason i had lunch with the n.r.a. on sunday-- i called them. i said, "you gotta come over." i said, "fellas, we have to do something." and they do have great power. they have great power over you people. they have less power over mere. it doesn't make sense i have to be 21 to get a handgun but 18 to

get this weapon. i want to know what you did in the bill. >> we didn't address it, mr. president. >> you know why? because you're afraid of the n.r.a. >> trevor: wow. un, there are moments when trump reminds me of a drunk uncle calling everyone out at a wedding. like, mostly you wish he wasn't there, but some shit he says is true. like, this guy is afraid of the n.r.a., and your dad-- he'll never tell you this-- but he kissed their penis." i mean, he just publicly busted republicans for being afraid of the n.r.a. and you can see how confident he is. he's like, "yeah, you guys are afraid. the n.r.a. doesn't own me. i'm president. nobody owns me. oh, hold oputin's calling. hold on. anniversary, vlad, i'll get on it." let's move on from trump to the tremendous people he's hired. yesterday, news came out that jared kushner lost his top-secret security clearance, possibly because he's doing business with foreign countries that were trying to manipulate him. then this morning, trump got into a twitter fight with his attorney general.

then just this afternoon, one of his closest and longest-standing advisers, communication director hope hicks, suddenly announced her resignation. yeah, and this last piece of news was really shocking-- trump had a communications director? ( laughter ) i'm like, that's the problem with trying to keep up with this administration. there are so many characters dominating the headlines, that we sometimes lose track of what's going on with the quieter ones, you know. it's like in "game of thrones," when someone pops up and you're like, "oh, yeah, that guy. what was his story again? he was looking for a tree or something? what is that?" and the guy searching for the tree in the trump administration is dr. ben carson, secretary of housing and urban development, and real-life "zootopia" sloth. when he took over at hud, he had no relevant experience, and one big goal: saving taxpayer money. >> there is a tremendous amount of waste that's going on. we're finding that waste. >> like, carson says, when

another federal agency was getting rid of its old computers and by rules had to destroy them, a loz of $750,000. carson said hud wanted them but bureaucracy was getting in the way. >> lawyers came in and said, "no, you can't really give that to this agency because of rule number 671." and what a bunch of crap. >> trevor: watch your mouth, boy! look at that-- reusing old computers. that's great for taxpayers. yeah, i mean, it sucks for the people who work at hud, you know, because he basically did that thing every kid hated you know when you thought you were going to get fresh new kicks and your mom was like, "great news! your cousin jimmy is getting rid of his sneakers and it's perfect because he's almost your size!" and if you think oh, he's just saving money inside the department so he can spend more of it on the needy people that hud serves, no. frugality is a way of life for ben carson. everyone's got to tighten ther belts. >> earlier this month, carson

said public housing should not be "too comfortable because it will make people say 'i'll just say here. they will take care of me'." >> trevor: that is extreme. he wants to help people but he still wants to keep them a little miserable just so they stay sharp. i wonder if he applied this philosophy to his brain surgery career. "i only removed part of your tumor. i want to keep your brain on its toes. ( laughter ) also, i put some toes in there." ( laughter ) now, you may disagree with ben carson's view, but you have to admire a man who is so consistently committed to saving money. like, you have to admire that. unless it's all bullshit. >> a whistleblower in the department of housing and urban development is sounding off. an exstaffer says she was demoted after refusing to spend more than the legal $5,000 throiment redecorate ben carson's new office. >> she said the pressure continued for her to "find the

money. find a way around this legal cap of spending only $5,000 for redecorating the office." she says her supervisor told her, "$5,000 will not even buy a decent chair." >> trevor: wait, what? does ben carson think a good chair costs $5,000? that would be the worse "price is right contestant." "how much for this can of beans?" my guess would be "$3million." you're getting it wrong. "i'm sorry, what is $4 million." seriously, you can't get a good chair for less than $5,000? you realize you can get a sex chair off amazon that will literally sodomize you, and it's $49.99 with free shipping. that's real. you can go bee buyit. you can go buy it right now. yesterday morning, when this

news broke, carson's people denied he was out there buying gold-plated chairs and that was cool for a few hours until this came out. >> the department of housing and urban development dwement is under scrutiny, and rightly so. 31 grand for a new ding room for ben carson. >> "the new york times" reports hud spent $31,000 on a new dining set for secretary ben carson's office as cuts were being planned for programs to the homeless and elderly and poor. ben carson says he didn't know the table was purchased, but does not intend to return it. ( laughter ) >> trevor: you know, there are times when i doubt ben carson's blackness, but then something like this happens, and i'm like, yeah, that's my dude." ( laughter ) that's how black people handle shit, right. you get something you're not supposed to but you have it now. adviseron will call and say you paid for an iphone 6 and we sent you an "x" by mistake."

"sounds like i (bleep) up. bye-bye." it turns out mr. saving money over here wanted a chair for over $5,000 and then bought a dining set for $30,000. now "the guardian" reported his department just spent over $160,000 on lounge furniture. you realize for that amount of money he could have built a poor person a decent house. or three uncomfortable houses -- whichever way you want to go. ( laughter ) like, ben carson is clearly doing some shady shit at his apartment, and it might also involve his wife and his son. i don't know. i do think this is probably why the secretary was so evasive last year when congress was questioning him about his budgets. >> sir, you have indicated that there will be substantial cuts to the budget that hud has. how much from housing vouchers, mr. carson? >> uh, rather than go through a quiz on all the numbers-- >> it's not a quiz, mr. carson. i have the time to ask you questions about things that you

should have some knowledge of. why would the secretary of hud not give the number, the amount that you're cutting from housing vouchers, mr. carson? how much, mr. carson? >> let's hear your number. >> mr. carson, you're the witness testifying today. and if you want a moment ask someone behind you, you would gladly afford you that moment. >> i don't want to open the book and look at the numbers. ( laughter ) >> trevor: why does he sound like a kid who's too scared to look under the bed. "i don't want to look under the bed and see the monsters!" so things are not looking good for dr. ben carson. especially because it seems like every day a new scandal pops up. and we haven't even talked about the biggest scandal yet. this happened just 11 days ago. you see, dr. ben carson was on fox news for an interview. and i'm not trying to be funny here, but he farted. ( laughter ) i promise you, we did not alter

this footage. the audio is 100% real. listen closely. >> you have a program that you told me about that really was or is the basis of this new win program. >> right. >> what is it? >> well, it's called the envision program. and, you know, the bible says in the book of proverbs, "without a vision, the people perish." ( laughter ) >> trevor: ben carson didn't just fart loudly on tv. we did it while quoting scripture. ( laughter ) although-- although, to be fair, %-pi quote-- "without a vision, the people perish brrraaaaapppp." ( laughter ) it's in there. and let's not let this hilarious moment distract us from the real issue. while supporting deep budget cuts to his department, carson is spending lavishly on dining sets and lounge furniture and

$5,000 chairs, which is not okay-- unless that chair costs $5,000 because it has sophisticated fart-suppressing technology. in that case, it's money well spent. we'll be right back.

"c.p. time" is a solo show. >> no, no, no. check the tape. i was there when you talked about actors and black politicians, and i was right in front of you during the last one. >> i apologize. my peripherals are not what they used to be. >> don't blame the cataracts, roy. you forgot. like a bitch. but it's okay. black women have been overlooked in american history, but we still accomplished great things, like madam c.j.positivj.walker's america's first black woman to be a self-made millionaire. >> i believe it was aretha franklin. >> it doesn't mean she was the first millionaire. madam c.j. walker earned her millions in the early 1900s. that's old money. and she did it with hair care products, hair grower, scalp

ointment. and, of course, she revolutionized the hot comb. >> aaah, the smell of hot grease on a saturday morning. >> i have her to thank for all these scars on my ears. there's marie van briton brown, who in 1966, during the heart of the civil rights movement, invented the home security system. before her, i when someone broke in, people just ideal, "hey, man! don't touch my shit." >> while her invention might have decreased theft, it didn't stopped a.d.t. from stealing the idea from her.

>> history? we're forgetting black women now. quick: who founded the black lives matter movement. >> that's very easy. everyone knows it's d. ray the man in the blue vest. >> d. ray! no, the founder were alisa gardners, and therese colors. >> were they wearing a blue vest? >> no. >> then how was i supposed to know. sounds like a fashion problem. there's only 30 minutes left here in black history month. and who knows? maybe next year there won't be a need for this program because we would have reached the mountaintop.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is an award-winning journalist, univision anchor, and author of the new book, "stranger: the

challenge of a latino immigrant in the trump era," a book that was inspired by this: >> who's next, yeah, please. excuse me, sit down. you weren't called. sit down. >> no, i'm a reporter-- >> sit down! >> --an immigrant and u.s. citizen. i have the right to-- >> no, you don't. you haven't been called. >> i have the right to ask the question. >> go back to univision. >> you cannot deny citizenship to children in this country-- >> sit down. you weren't called. >> i'm a reporter. don't touch me, sir. don't touch me, sir. >> you're very rude. this is not about you. get out of my country. >> trevor: please welcome jorge ramos. ( cheers and applause ) >> thank you. >> trevor: welcome to the show. >> thank you so much. so that happened after he threw a signal to the body guard. >> trevor: let me ask you a question: when that was happening, did you think to

yourself, "i'm fighting with a man who will become the president of the united states"? >> at that moment, we realized that something was happening, and people were not paying attention to-- to what we were saying. he's the same person who in june said mexican immigrants were criminals and drug traffickers and rapists. and i'm a mexican immigrant, so he was talking about me. we said that, and many said, "latinos, you are too sensitive. that's not true." and then he was attacking the journalists, the freedom of the press, we said, "look what he's doing." and people didn't pay attention. and he became president, and it's too late. >> trevor: it's interesting that you say as a mexican you felt like he was speaking to you and about you, because it feels like people seem to think trump has the best intentions, until he says something about them. then all of a sudden, people flip and go, like, "this guy is racist. this guy is something-- i never knew it before." do you think it just needs to happen to everyone? >> we knew before.

we knew before. when he launched his campaign-- it was june 2015-- he again said a racist-- made a racist comment. and just recently, when he was talking about haitians and people from african nations, saying they come from shit hole countries, that's a racist statement. and when we said judge curiel, because of his mexican heritage, he could not do his job. we have a president making racist statements, and the question is what should we do as journalists? i mean, should we just report reality as it is? or should we also attack a or should we take a social role, and i think that's very important for us. >> trevor: you've had a lot of drama with president trump. you describe him in the book posting your phone number online after you tried to get an interview with him. do you wear that as a badge of pride or is it something that terrifies you, knowing the president had a personal beef with you? >> what happened is after he said all these things about

immigrants and i said, "well, let's just try to get an interview with him. i wrote him a handwritten note. i sent it to the trump tower. and instead of answering that or saying, okay, i'm not interested in the interview, he published my cell phone number on instagram. and i started getting hundreds and hundreds of phone calls and texts, some of them funny asking for opportunities to write a book. >> trevor: so there was a positive to it. >> exactly. and then people really attacking me and saying exactly the same thing as president trump-- i think hate is contagious. and in this case, it started from the top-down. and trump saying, "go back to univision." he really meant go back to mexico. >right, univision-- it sounded like it when he said it. and the book is really about that in different ways. you are a journalist. are you an american citizen. >> i am. >> trevor: you have been an american citizen for how long? >> 35 years. >> trevor: 35 years. >> i have two kids here. this country gave me opportunities that my country of origin couldn't give me. >> trevor: so, when you say, "the challenge of an immigrant

in the trump era." you don't feel there's the fear buyou feel there's something larger growing in the united states. what do you think the challenge is? >> the challenge is to resist. i think the most important word in any language is, "no. "n" this case, we're going to say no to donald trump. this is not the america that embraced me at the beginning. in the end, a tolerant, diverse, multicultural america will prevail. >> trevor: it seems like trump has double standards, especially because of melania and the family. in the book you speak about trump's relationship with immigrants as a whole, about daca, the wall. do you in any way see what he's connecting with in people? do you think it's only hate, or do you think there's a part of him that manages to connect with the fear and the reality of some people not having jobs or wages

being stagnant? >> i think this is the reality. in 2024, everyone is going to be a minority in this country. we're going to be a minority majority country, and donald trump and some of his followers, they don't like that. because they have a nostalgic view of the united states, and they want to make america white again. they want to go back to 1965. but that's simply not possible. everything is changing. however, they're make an effort to do that, and, unfortunately, many latinos are being affected. some families are being destroyed. and many people are being attacked. >> trevor: and if somebody says to you, "but jorge, this is the law of the country. every country has deportation. why is trump a bad guy for deporting people?" >> because, indocumented immigrants-- first of all, he calls them illegal. no one is illegal. no human being is illegal. they are here because of us. i mean, they harvest our food. they build our homes. they do the jobs that nobody else wants to do. so we're partly responsible for

that. >> trevor: right. >> and donald trump is acting as if they have absolutely nothing to do with us, and they are part of the united states. the only difference is that they don't have a paper. and as a matter of fact, immigrants tend to be less likely to be criminals or to be behind bars than u.s. citizens. but that's something that donald trump never says. whenever he talks about immigrants, he's criminalizing them saying, well, they're from ms-13. he's absolutely wrong. that's fake news to me. ( applause ) >> trevor: fascinating book. thank you so much for your time and i really appreciate it. "stranger" is available now. jorge ramos, everyone. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause )
