>> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is the daily show with trevor noah. (applause). >> trevor: was' going on, people. welcome to the daily show, i'm trevor noah. thank you so much. take a seat. welcome to it. thawr for tuning in. my guest tonight has a new cnn series about sex and love, chrisiane amanpour is joining us. i'm excited for this conversation. but first up, if you are worried because you left dna at a crime scene, this news may brighten up your day. >> twin astronauts mark and scott kelly, their dna identical for their entire lives until one of them spent nearly a year in space. the kelly brothers were studied to determine the effects of long-term space travel during and after scott's time on the

international space station. this morning the first results from that ground-breaking study revealing that seven percent of scott kelly's genes did not return to normal following his return to earth two years ago suggesting that now the identical twins are no longer completely identical. according to nasa, scott's 340 days in orbit may have activated what scientists are now calling space genes. >> jordan: when does science become so lazy about naming things. space genes? imagine if that happened back in the day, sir what should we call those objects in the sky, solar flairs, nah, let's just go with sun farts. (laughter) think about it. this astronaut now has different dna, which means his 23 and me results are going to be totally thrown off. guys, you won believe this, i'm part jamaican, iree, iri, this spaceship has got me all shimmy simly cocoa puffs. are we sure their moms dnt do this sperm to cover up a secret

affair. that's right, boys, your dna is different because of space. and definitely not because ron the mailman once took me to heaven. but let's move on. i done know about you guys but watching those kids marching yesterday against gun violence was money of the most amazing things i have ever seen. didn't you think it was amazing. it was pretty cool. (applause) but what was even more amazing was watching all the short circuiting that happened on fox news. for instance, prime time anchor and guy who looks like he just walked in on his grandparents boning, tucker carlson. his angle was next level. >> their too young to buy guns, why should they be making my gun laws. why should people without don't have the right to buy guns have the right to make my gun laws t is a simple question. >> i mean, they're not making the gun laws. the law. >> as citizens in this country, they are allowed to influence the. >> they're not citizens they're children, they're not 18. >> wow, wow. now american kids aren't even

citizens? so i guess in tucker's mind, you are mexican until you turn 18s that how it works and then you smash a pinata and social security numbers fall out. age secondly, get the [bleep] out of here, man! if kids are old enough to be shot, they are old enough to have an opinion about being shot, okay. (applause) like it's not like a school shooter walks in and ask a kid for im dvment. come on. let's mf on from fox to fox's target demographic. this weak president trump shocked peaker by firing secretary of state and human t bone steak rex tillerson. but tillerson may have been just the first casualty in a much bigger white house purge. >> so far more than 20 senior administration staffers have either been fired, resigned or reassigned. and there is talk of more changes. >> the purge could take down a chief of staff, a national security advisor, an up to three cabinet secretaries.

what ultimately happens, depends on president trump's volatile mood and available, willing replacements. >> trevor: okay, first of all, we all notice the extra from get out in the back, right? yeah? okay, just checking. because i was like, but yeah, real life trump has now fired more people than reality tv trump. and he might just be getting started. eventually the only person left for trump to fire will be himself. he will be like i'm sorry it came down 20 this, backward donald but i have to let you go. you're fired. you're fired, get out of the way, no, you, wait, you go, you go, and then oh, but trurch isn't just fairing people. he's also hiring. and after gary cohn resigned, to help faind a replacement, the president turned to his most trusted kf dante, the tv in his bed ram and came up with the perfect man for the job. >> breaking news, the white house confirming that president trump has picked cable tv host

larry kudlow as his next top economic advisor, he replacing gary cohn. >> cnbc host larry kudlow is trump's new chief economic advisor. which shouldn't come as a surprise. trump has already hired two fox news anchors and apparently is considering hiring a third. basically if trump sees you on tv there say really good chance will hire you. by the time his term is done his attorney general is just going to be judge judy and his housing secretary will be bob the builder. which is ridiculous but show still liss ridiculous than ben carson. and-- (applause) and since larry kudlow will be guiding america's economic fate we thought let's get to know him in another installment of profiles in tremendousness. >> i have the most dedicated people. >> i have the best people. >> trevor: meet larry kudlow. the new chief economic advisor. he has worked on wall street,

the federal reserve, the budget office and for the past 16 years he has been the face of cnbc. so this guy has lived money his whole life. and it shows. i mean he looks like he is a a used mercedes seasman, aside from going on tv he has another key qualification, he has a masters degree from the university of obama-bashing. >> call it obama's war on business. it is bad to the bone. >> obama is the guy who has no leadership no hands on management. he looks completely inept. >> our president obama's little dream go cart is the end of freedom. i want big cars. i want suv's. >> here's the picture that bugs the hell out of me. it really pis srked me off all weekend. president o bamenta giving a warm handshake to venezuela dictator hugo chavez. >> look at that, kind of a boy z in the hood handshake. >> kind of a boyz in the hood handshake. i will be honest. i never understood this obsession with how obama greeted people am like so what.

black people have a different handshake. get over it. like when white people shake hands black people don't go oh what is this bizarre frassier fist bump are you doing, oh. so trump and kudlow share hating o bm blanca but they also have another thing in common. they love money more than anything. >> in fact, this was kudlow's reaction after a thousand people died in a japanese earthquake. >> the human toll here looks to be much mosser than the economic toll and we can be grateful for that and the human toll say tragedy, we know that. >> trevor: we can be grateful for that, tank god the money was safe. i thought we would have to hold a telethon to raise money for the money. so the personality, i guess you can see why trump is going with kudlow. but what about his skills. as trump economic advisor kud lo will be responsible for a session the economy and advising the president on what to do. but given his track record, kudlow might not be the best choice. for instance, in the mid 2,000 when many economists were warning about the impending

housing market collapse, listen to how trump's tbie responds. >> everyone who buys a house now in new york or miami or san diego assumes that the price will just keep going up and up and up and that is what you call a bubble. >> i just feel look, i have a different take on this. i think the housing boom is a tremendous plus. for middle income people, for low income people. you're not going to have a housing bubble go bust when the unemployment rate is low and the economy is broaing at 3, 4%. >> okay, now you see, it's a little funny that he was wrong. but it's superfunny that he interrupts someone to be that wrong. like i bet there was a guy like him before every major event in history. like sir, the titanic looks like it's going to shall. >> i have a different take on this. i think boats break ice, not the other way around. >> i think our neighbor charles manson seems a little dangerous and we should. >> i have a different teak on this. he's just hangry, we should invite him over for dinner.

>> now if you want to be nice to kudlow, there were people who missed the housing bubble that lead to the great recession. it's like he didn't see the warning signs that a tsunami was about to hit but it takes a special kind of person to in the tsunami and deny that it is happening at all. >> i'm declaring the recession debate is over, no recession out there, in additiona not happening. >> there ain't no recession, that is the theme of the show, subject closed as far as i'm concerned. >> trevor: okay, like, that's a bad one. because the biggest recession of our lives was just starting and this guy is like no recession, don't stress, no recession. like it is almost like the tsunami was forming, the tide pulling out and kud lo is on the beach screaming there no tsunami, folks, sometimings the waves just go back into the ocean to visit their parents. come on! but be that as it may, he is now trump's new economic advisor. so we wish larry kudlow the best of luck. assuming he hasn't already been fired. we'll be right back.

we'll be right back.

. >> trevor: welcome back it the daily show. march is officially women's history month. when we honor women by remembering their accomplishments. >> and misattributing quotes to them on instagramment some of the most fascinating story in women's history aren't that well-known so this month desi lydic and dulce sloan are taking a look at the lives of real women who left their mark in our daily show segment shafted.

(applause) >> good evening. i'm dulce sloan and i'm desi lydic. tonight's episode is a familiar story. big dreams crushed by the reality of reality. >> the victim, marion done o van, the crime. >> being a woman. >> in 1946 mar quloon was a housewife in a mall stown of westport connecticut. being home and raising children, marion got fed up with all the shit in her life. >> why is there so much shit everywhere? who-- why! >> at the time people were using cloth diapers and the only solution were uncomfortsable rubber pant task gave baby's dieper rash so in one wanted to wear them even though they were the most best method, do i have to, it feels so much better pooping against bare skin. but one day marion looked at her shower curtain and got an idea.

i've got an idea. this could keap watter from leaking out, surely it could do the same for shit. so she got to work, designing a new, better dieper cover which she called the boater. i did it. i'm going to liberate women from needless domestic work. right after i buy a new shower curtain and clean thup mess before my husband leaves me. it was a hit, the dieper covers were flying off the shelves faster than black market birth control pills and then came marion's best idea yet, a fully disposable diep we are superabsorbent material. marion pitched her ideas to fully dispose able diepers to every large manufacturer in the company but found herself knee deep in something much worse than baby poop. sexism, what do you think? >> it's unnecessary. >> no market for this you dumb lady. >> my wife loves washing diapers >> faced with rejection she went on inventing various do hickeys

and watch you calls it but a decade later she had the shock of her life when pampers launched a line of fully disposable diapers. >> mother-- that's right. a man had been rewarded for coming up with the same thing she was rejected for. >> and when you're done you just throw it away. >> this is genius. why has no one thought of this before. good job, male inventors. >> you're welcome male executive. >> men are great. >> marion was desperate and at the end of her rope so she did the unthinkable. actually that part didn't really happen. >> yeah, but it should have. >> disposable dierps are now a $6 billion industry, marion should have been the beyonce of baby care but fate made her the fair of franklin. >> the who? >> exactly. >> exactly. >> but while she may have been yefer looked in her own time, marion's contributions live on.

in homes, in daycares, in target bath rams where the dieper changing station is always broken and the baby is screaming and are you like what do you want from me! marion was shafted, but not defeated. that's all for this week. tune in next time for the story of another woman so powerful, so determined, her vagina almost didn't get in the way. >> almost.

>> trevor: welcome back to the daily show, my guest tonight is cnn's chief international correspondent and host of the new series sex and love around the world. women are no longer willing to take the fate that society has imposed on them. they don't all want to be the perfect daughter without grows up to be the perfect housewive and a massive shift is under way. oarksz good, we're going get some drinks now, we can loosen up a little bit. >> i have come to meet a group of friends at their regular hangout where they gather to dish on their lives and their loves. >> ladies, let's talk about sex. how is sex? >> trevor: please welcome

christiane amanpour. (applause) welcome back it to the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: it's always goods to see you here. >> i'm going to unbuckle leak you tz you always look stylish. popping in from the u.k., here for a bit. this is interesting. every time i see i we talk about the news, you are deeply entrenched in the news. this is a different series, can i still talk to you about the news. >> you can. >> trevor: it has been a crazy news day, robert mueller spping trump. >> the whole organization. >> trevor: the whole organization. >> with focus on any deums to deal with russia business. >> trevor: so let me ask you this. what happens if mueller just finds that it is money laundering. does he walk away. >> i don't know. i don't think. so everybody is saying follow the money. >> trevor: follow the money. except-- except trump, is he like don't follow the money. >> i did like your wonderful

were file of his chief economic advisor. my favorite is there is no bubble, there is no recession there is no crisis. (laughter) >> >> trevor: there is no nukes there is nothing. let's talk about the series because there is different. and this is interesting. i feel like this is you doing a passion project. stepping out of the news and going i want to focus on sex and life what is the series about. >> are you so sweet. i had to try to focus on something to give me some respite from the stress of the times we live in. >> trevor: i can understand that. >> you can understand that. i just was really fortunate to have come up with this idea to basically persuaded and had this wonderful conversation with anthony bourdain of parts unknown, you know him very well, he is on cnn. and we decided that this was a great conversation to have. and you can see i'm a little bit awkward as it starts. there i am at a table, saying,

so how is sex. not the most profound question. however, it is very much fun. this whole series and all around the world is a lot of fun. and importantly, again, relative to one of your previous segments just now, these women are not shafted so to speak. these women are not victims. these are the women i found around the world in all of these cities, even with restrictive norms around women, their lives their sexuality who are actually trying to change the dynamic. and want to take their own happiness into their hands and don't want to live their mother's lives where everything was arranged, marriage was arranged. >> trevor: rate. >> they had to do everything according to the family or according to the man. >> trevor: that is something that makes the series different. it really is a celebration of women control their secretaries ultity within their different parameters around the world. and it is interesting to see the dynamic. you go to different cities am you speak to different women. one thing that really fascinated me was when you spoke about going to a war zone and speaking

to wives and lovers and saying how do you maintain your love and your sex in the midst of a war because you don't think of that. we see something happening in syria, we forget that somebody's smashing. >> exactly. that is what i see inspired me to do the series. that very question about those very people. because all my career i have done extreme reporting, in extreme conditions. so i watched human condition in the most extreme circumstances. and you know they're worried about survival, worried about feeding their children, worried about staying alive, this and that. and i thought you know what, there is another side to the coin of the human condition. and that side is happiness, it's love, it's intimacy, it's sex. it's how do women especially in these parts of its world actually express their most basic needs. >> trevor: right. >> how do they ask for what is their right, why do we all have

the right to the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment and the rest of it and they don't. >> trevor: in japan it's interesting because you don't just talk about the women who are unfulfilled but you talk bay culture where they are struggling root now because, you know, you talk about in the series, i think it is 40% of japanese men are virgins. >> st extraordinary. >> trevor: and many men and women have never touched. at the don't touch in public. they don't know how to communicate so sex is on the decline. >> it's so on the decline and it's a very taboo subject and they don't have words for i love you and don't use those words. there is a lot of really poignant episodes in the tokyo episode which you just saw a clip from. at the end of this episode, we have this fabulous couple who want to buck this system and buck this trend. and they have created this thing called the adoring husband society where regularly its husband has to go and stand and shout and bello i love you to their wives. do you know t works. >> trevor: that is what they have to do. >> yes, as well as other things

but you start by doing this. >> trevor: you walk out, and you are like, i love you! i love you! >> yes, yes, watch the show slow it is amazing. >> trevor: and then you smash. >> yes, what is this smash? >> trevor: thank you so much for being on the show again. sex and love around the world premiers march 17th at 10 p.m kisiane amanpour, ever. we'll be rights back. we'll be rights back.
