trevor noah! ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: what's going on, everybody? thank you so much and welcome to "the daily show"! thank you for tuning in! i'm trevor noah! take a seat, everybody! take a seat. take a seat. our guest tonight here to talk about his new netflix show world famous chef david chang is here! ( cheers and applause ) but first, but first up, did you guys watch the oscars? yeah, you did? well, if you didn't, you missed out. a mexican won for directing. a fish won best picture. and my favorite moment of the night, jordan peele became the first black person to win the oscar for best original green south korean play.

congratulations for making history. i have to admit i'm a little upset he beat me to it because i totally wrote a bill yent script for a sequel to "how to lose a guy in ten days." it's called "how to lose a guy in nine days," way more efficient. ( laughter ) but nobody liked it. one of the biggest moments of the night actually happened after the ceremony was over. >> and we also have breaking news to pass along to you. francis mcdormand reportedly had her oscar temporarily stolen last night. it happened at the governor's ball. this right here is the suspect, terry brian. the "new york times" is reporting that this guy grabbed the statue and ran out! >> trevor: you know, when we said we wanted black people to get more oscars, this is not what we had in mind. ( laughter ) but i'm glad francis mcdormand got her oscar back because you know if she didn't today there would have been three billboards up in hollywood boulevard looking for it. so i'm glad and congratulations. let's move on from oscar gold to

american steel. last week president trump won award for best original way to destroy an economy. >> today, washington made wall street blink -- hard. stocks tanked after the president said he plans to impose steep tariffs of 25% on steel imports and 10% on aluminum across the board. >> what's been allowed to go on for decades is disgraceful. it's disgraceful. and when it comes to a time when our country can't make aluminum and steel, and somebody said it before, and i will tell you, you almost don't have much of a country because without steel and aluminum, your country is not the same. >> trevor: you know -- you know what i love about donald trump is he says crazy shit and he's already put himself in a straitjacket. that's right! without steel, you can't have a country.

ahhh! you can't have a country, aaahhh! that's right. donald trump wants a country with steel and aluminum. which is more terrible news for alex jones. first they pulled his u tube ads and his hats got more expensive. a lot of people were opposed to imposing tariffs. a lot within his own party. >> paul ryan warning against the moving saying -- >> that's going to turn around and bite the american citizens with much higher taxes, much higher costs. >> this is only going to hurt american consumers and our allies, please consider your solution. >> trevor: the president has worn lindsey graham down. he's turned him into the most

tired baby sitter. no crayons on the furniture. please reconsider your position. ( laughter ) thank you for having me on, wolf. mr. president, please don't impose the tariffs. it'sing on only amount of time before lobbyists put agendas inside happy meals -- cocoa, the deregulating panda! ( laughter ) i'm not surprised they're pulling out stops to sway trump. you see, economists warned starting a trade war could increase the cost of living for americans across the board. although, according to wilbur ross, commerce secretary and living werther's original the impact won't be so bad. >> i would like to emphasize the limited impact. in a can of campbell's soup, 2.6 pennies worth of steel. so if that goes up by 25%,

that's about 6/10 of one cent on the price of a can of campbell's soup. well, i just bought this can today at a 7-eleven down here, and the price was $1.99. so who in the world is going to be too bothered by 6/10 of a cent? >> trevor: he's so cute! ( laughter ) he's like a white ben carson over here. can you imagine him and ben carson having a conversation together? would last forever. it would be, like, have i told you about my soup cans? and ben would be like, the best can of all -- is the human skull. ( laughter ) ( applause ) now, commerce secretary soup dog might be right that one individual can of soup won't go up a huge amount. but the problem is that, when america imposes a tariff like

this, other countries could retaliate, and then things escalate. >> the international community is responding to president trump's desired tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. >> officials from the european n union vowed to impose taxes on u.s. goods including harley davidson motorcycles, bourbon whiskey and levi's genes. >> in turn, president trump threatened to tax european cars. if the e.u. wants to increase already massive tariffs, he'll add a tax on their cars. >> trevor: steel, aluminum and now whiskey and jeans. you're not hurting trump by threatening jim beam and levi's. trump never touched alcohol and he doesn't exactly have what we call jeans ass. ( laughter ) you'd think trump getting all the bad yelp reviews on the tariff idea would make him think twice. joke's on you, he doesn't think

once. >> president trump is doubling down on tariff proposals. yesterday he tweeted trade wars are good and easy to win. >> trevor: truth is trade wards aren't easy to win. already a study has shown that even before a trade war, trump's tariffs by themselves could cost americans 146,000 jobs. yeah, and don't forget, the past two presidents tried this type of thing and it didn't work. george w. bush tried steel tariffs and studies showed they dost far more jobs than they saved. president obama put tariffs on tires but they ended up costing americans thousands of jobs and nearly a billion dollars. yeah, a billion dollars on tires. i mean, i know us black guys like spending money on wheels but goddam! ( laughter ) even though trump's solution may be stream it doesn't mean he's wrong about his underlying ideas. he is right about the problem but the solution will cause bigger problems.

like a doctor great at the diagnosis, terrible at the cure. you have skin cancer! so i'm going to chop off your dick. wait, what? ( laughter ) but like it or not, trump is the doctor america chose, so it's ultimately his call, even if it's bad policy, america could be headed for a trade war which, to be honest, of all the wars we thought trump would get us into -- gnarl war, race war -- a trade war is like the least bad option, and it will make the next call of duty completely different. >> president trump's threatening a surprise trade war over steel. >> he said trade wars were good and easy to win. >> i'd love to have a trade war. >> the president is wrong, trade wars are hell. >> hang on to your ass, we're gonna raise the price of steel! >> we had no idea how cruel the enemy could be. >> you want to raise taxons steel? we will tax your jean shorts!

>> you son of a bitch! >> how much is a bud light now? >> six bucks! >> you are a long way from econ 101, bitch. >> who in the world is going to be too bothered by .6 cents? >> trevor: we'll be right back!

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show"! ( cheers and applause ) i don't know if you've noticed something about our show but for a while we have been pretty obsessed with one particular topic, humans. almost all the stories we cover involve humans, or trump. ( laughter ) but while we have been focusing on artificial unintelligence, probots have been progressing at

an alarming rate which is why this week we decided to catch up on everything a.i. ♪ ( cheers and applause ) robots! where would we be without them and what would our cats ride around on? the rise of artificial intelligence means we are about to see seismic shifts in what bots can do. even in the early stages the results are remarkable. >> seems the engineers at boston dynamics are not only making the robots to be smart but polite as well. >> i think we've got the backflip, wait, wait -- yeah, baby. >> i'm on a first date with a robot. hey, there. what's your name? >> you can call me pepper. >> nice to meet you, pepper. >> trevor: okay. that did not seem like a normal human interaction. i mean, the robot did fine but that guy was creepy as (bleep).

like, nice to meet you pepper. shields up. ( laughter ) but this is amazing. robots can now go on dates, they can open doors, they can do everything that we used to do. in fact, thanks to robots, we may never have to do backflips again. but sometimes progress comes at a cost and, in this case, that cost could be us. >> more than 1,000 scientists and tech experts warn today of the danger of artificial intelligence arms race. >> artificial intelligence, the term can conjure up dark visions of the terminator and even elon musk warned to have the dangers. >> a.i. is a risk to human civilization. >> there is concern the computers can outsmart us. what if they decide it's inconvenient to have us around? >> trevor: hold on, even if robots don't want humans around anymore, why do we assume they will kill us? if they're intelligentmakers they'll do what we do when we're

trying to get rid of someone -- wow, look at the time, initiating live protocol. i have a thing in the morning. shall i call you an uber? ( laughter ) and, look, i don't think we have to worry about robots killing us and putting us in the matrix. that's our grandkids' problem. the robot apocalypse we have to worry about is one that's already here. they're not coming for say ray connor, but our jobs. >> robots relating your barista. your waiter, cashier and amazon already automating his warehouses. >> 5 million lost jobs since 2000 partly due to technology, computers and robots taking over assembly line work used to be done by humans. >> silicon val yi reinventing robot pizzeria. >> once the robots drive, what will happen to the people who used to do these jobs?

>> trevor: robots are coming for our truck driving jobs, factory jobs, blow jobs. that will be hard. try to outblow job a robot. they don't get tired. you have to wait till they rust. ( laughter ) this success for every individual person who lose their job but what's coming is bigger than that. you know how till 250 years ago everything was made by hand, now after the industrial revolution everything is made by children in bangladesh? the a.i. revolution will be like that at hyper speed. they will change what means to be human. >> we'll find ourselves in world where the work is largely done by machines. >> what are the people going to do? >> that's the $64,000 question. >> trevor: yeah, what are people going to do when robots do all the work? i don't know, like ride around on rumbas? that's the big question we'll be asking all week on "the daily

show." the question humety will be asking for years to come. i'd like to promise we'll find the answer but honestly it will probably be easier to build a robot to do it for us. we'll be right back ( cheers and applause ) i was wondering if an electric toothbrush really cleans better

than a manual. and my hygienist says it does but they're not all the same. who knew? i had no idea. so she said, look for one that's shaped like a dental tool with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to gently remove more plaque. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the only electric toothbrush brand accepted by the american dental association for its effectiveness and safety. my mouth feels so clean. i'll only use an oral-b. oral-b. brush like a pro. ♪ introducing bubly sparkling water. crack a smile. directv gives you more for your thing. your top-rated thing. that five stars, two thumbs up, 12-out-of-10, would recommend thing. because if you only want the best thing,

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is a world renowned chef and founder of the momofuku restaurant group. he has a new documentary series on netflix called "ugly

delicious." >> the women in my life express love through food. my grandmother was an amazing cook. my mother is an amazing cook. momma -- >> mmm! mm-mm-mm! >> love was shown as have you had enough to eat. to this day, when i talk to my mom, she says, what have you eaten? have you had enough to eat? >> trevor: please welcome david chang! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome, sir. >> excited to be here. >> trevor: welcome to the show. glad that you're here. disappointed that you didn't bring any fried chicken with you. i'm addicted to a lot of your food and so many other people are. this netflix series has started you have with a. >> people are loving it. why the title "ugly delicious"? >> as you saw in the clip, i grew up eating really well. my mom cooked a lot ofcine

things, and growing up in northern virginia, it wasn't that cool. i was, like, the butt of many jokes. so when i started cooking professionally, those are the foods i never wanted to touch because i was ashamed of it or didn't want to, like, embrace it some that sort of encapsulates a lot of the foods that i think are truly delicious but may not be cool or looks good on a photograph somewhere like a curry is a perfect example. a bowl of curry is so good but isn't something that's going to be on the cover of a magazine. >> trevor: for you growing up, food was a part of your culture but something people teased you about. do you think a big part of food is the cultural identity that comes with it? >> absolutely. we're not at a crossroads but food is more popular than before and it intersects so many different parts of culture throughout the world so creating the show with morgan neville and eddie schmidt. we thought food could be the

trojan horse to talk about good and bad things in culture. >> trevor: chinese food, it feels less about the food itself and about how cheese people in america have had to simulate and how the food has had to seem late in many ways to fit in with american culture. what did you learn in that experience looking at cheese food in america. >> it goes to when they came to work on the railroads and how they were marginalized in the 1890s or so. without getting too much into the history, as delicious as cheese food, is and it seems the most prevalent throughout the world, it's never been seen as cool as other european question season and, quite frankly, i think there's been a lot of hidden racism in how people perceive not just chinese food, but basically anything that's different than the mainstream america, right? and you see that with msg or how people see, like, cheap meats in asian and chinese restaurants and a lot of that is not true.

they're not even misperceptions, it's just wrong. >> trevor: interesting you bring up racism with regards to food. those are stereotypes you see rearing their lig heads around the world. people go, watermelon, chicken, black people. you eat this if you're asian. there are certain ideas that come from food. there are certain stories told by the food. there is an episode where you talk about fried chicken. i love in the store that you're out in the south an meeting with people who cook fried chicken. why people who made fried chicken? did you think it was interesting to speak to people about where the chicken came from, where it became popularized and how they saw the story related to the food? >> absolutely. first and foremost about fried chicken, it's a story a lot of people don't know about. everyone that i think eats chicken will find fried chicken to be delicious the world over, almost. but the story how it was born out of oppression and slavery,

for the most part, the fried chicken we are most commonly associated with, that's a tough story to tell. if we can't talk about fried chicken, how can we talk about other things that are problematic. >> trevor: right. >> and going back to the popularity of fried chicken shops, there's a scene where i'm talking to my friends, really, and questioning them the same questions i would answer myself, and the reality is it's a responsibility that i think today ino 2018 that we should know more about, and we should talk about, and it's not easy to talk about. >> trevor: right. >> i think you have to watch the episode because i think we're not trying to answer anything, we're just trying to start the conversation because it's too dense of a topic. >> trevor: do you feel that's something people could do at restaurants, the waiter should have to tell you about the history of the food when they give it to you? what will you have? fried chicken. let me tell you about slavery and oppression. this chicken comes from a long history of people being oppressed. you're, like, mmm, i'm going

with the rice, can i go with the rice? ( laughter ) >> no, it's not about that. we live in a world where there's so much fin information at your fingertips, why not go down that rabbit hole a bit. there's a seen where i say to the director of the wire, hey, i would have a problem with someone notcine making kim chi. he says, you're an idiot. american culture is about everything if it's done well. i thought about that and he's absolutely right in the sense that the only way i'm going to get this person who wants to make kim chi go down the rabbit hole, but if i judge them and say you can't, i'm not making progress there. so i feel the same way about fried chicken. i think i could have been that fried chicken shop down in nashville because i love hot fried chicken so much. of course, the first thing you

want to do is pay homage. but it's a problem stiessments what happens if you start killing the very thing that inspired you? >> trevor: that's interesting. the show asks questions, starts conversations and most importantly it makes me hungry as shivment thank you so much for being on the show. >> thank you, trevor. >> trevor: "ugly delicious" is available on netflix now. david chang, everybody. we'll be right back ( cheers and applause ) ♪ surprise! hold up. we got a laggy video call here. hey, try the new samsung galaxy s9 on verizon unlimited. the best network for streaming. okay, let's take it back from "surpri--" (avo) unlimited is only as good as the network it's on. switch and get up to $500 off the samsung galaxy s9.
