( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show"!

thank you so much for tuning in! i'm trevor noah! sit down, everybody! sit down! i'm really excited. my guest tonight from the hit show "westworld" thandie newton is here, everybody! she's going to be here! she could be a robot. either way, i'm excited! let's kick off tonight's show with amazing news -- no, not kanye dropping two new albums -- i'm talking about the senate dropping old school rules. >> the baby ban has ended on capitol hill. wednesday senate voted by unanimous consent to allow members to bring infant children on to the senate floor. the senate previously banned all children from entering the floor. the rule was inspired by tammy duckworth who gave birth to her daughter this month, the first senator to give birth while in office. >> the motion to be read and considered third time with pass

and the motion to be laid on the table with no intervening action or debate -- >> trevor: no, hold on, mitch! so much excitement! can't hand your joy! he's probably just still peyses pissed he didn't get invited to the baby shower. senator wet blanket aside, this is fantastic news. after 200 years babies are allowed on the senate floor. fantastic news for the parents, terrible news for the babies because congress will be a bad influence on a child growing up. you know, your parent will be, like, scotty, do you want to share your toys with your friends? and the kid will be, like, no, i earned these toys trickle down, bitch! ( laughter ) but if they're going to have babies in the senate, i think they need to do it right. i think the rule should include a provision that mitch mcconnell has to rafiqy every baby that comes to the senate. every time a baby comes, he will

have to be like -- ba-ba-ba -- ( laughter ) people in the capitol building are still getting used to women being there. in 1992 when congress first became 10% female, one representative complained, "i hope you're happy. this place looks like a (bleep) shopping mall ." which is not even accurate sexism because shopping malls have men, too. and even in 2008, the pool in the senate gym was still men only because some senators liked to swim nude. yeah, which, i'm sorry, is too much government transparency. i'm not looking for that much. i know things were crazy in the old days, but 2008? we had identifies there. siri, was that a dick? what is that? oh, that. in other news, things in puerto rico went from okay to not again.

>> the power went out again in puerto rico just yesterday morning. the puerto rico power authority boasted all power was restored seven months after hurricane maria. an hour later an excavator working on a fallen tower caused an outage that impacted nearly every home and business on the island. >> trevor: that sucks so much for puerto rico just when they get their power back, one guy knocks it out. i also feel bad for him. the last time it went out, it was an act of god. this time an act of pablo. he was probably getting death threats from people. luckily, they couldn't find him in the dark. people were, like, pablo! pablo! pablo! marco -- polo -- got you! got you! ( laughter ) laugh in the news this week, a new political alliance rocking the d.c. alignment. >> a rapper could have a future in politics after getting a

shoutout, came after the 25-year-old rapper did an interview where she shared her knowledge of presidents. she said f.d.r. was the real make america great again because if it wasn't for him old people wouldn't even have social security and got a big show of support from senator sanders. >> cardy b is right, we have to protect social security for all generations. >> trevor: bernie! bernie! this is so amazing! two people everyone loves coming together. they have two things in common, both love social security and both started out as strippers. that was bern in back in the days. donations, 1 to $5! they make such a dope combination. i can't wait for him to feature on one of her sogs.

( rapping ) ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: oh, man! aaahhh! this is why shouldn't give us computers. all right. let's move on. tomorrow is another nationwide school walkout to protest gun violence and now, in the months since the parkland shooting, not a lot of progress has been made in terms of legislation, but for now we'll just have to rely on good guys with guns. so let's check in and see how these good guys are doing in our new segment a series of gun fortunate events. ( cheers and applause ) now, one of the big suggestions after the parkland shooting was why not just give the teachers

guns? well, i'll tell you why. this. >> a teacher at the planned parenthood high school where 17 people were shot and a killed in february was arrested for leaving a loaded gun in a public bathroom. police say sean simpson removed his 9-millimeter glock in the bathroom at the public peer where he was and forgot it. he heard a gun shot minutes later. a homeless man picked up the gun in the bathroom and fired it in the ground to see if it was loaded. the homeless man is charged as well for discharging a firearm in public and trespassing. >> trevor: first of all, let's acknowledge this is not the first time a homeless guy recklessly discharged in a public bathroom. more importantly, a teacher from the parkland in the news forgot his loaded gun in a public bathroom, how do you forget your gun in a bathroom?

i guess you're busy. you're hands, you're pulling stuff, moving stuff, put the gun down. what's worse is how you find out you lost your gun. getting mugged and you reach if your pocket and pull out toilet paper. aaahhh! this was an incident where no one was hurt. in the next i vent he did get hurt. >> a man shoots himself in the foot inside of a grocery. the shoppers at the kroger was startled by a loud pop. turns out a gunshot. as many people ran for cover, mccomb county deputies arrived. the 23-year-old c.p.l. holder was adjusting his holster when his gun went off. >> trevor: shooting yourself while grocery shopping is the worst because you still have to check out, all right. then you know there is going to be an old lady in front of you paying with a stack of coupons and you're, like, can you hurry up? i'm bleeding. tough shit, i'm saving a nickel

on my item. some good guys forget their guns, some shoot themselves in the foot. i know what you're thinking. they're amateurs, trained on-duty professionals know how to handle guns. i'll play a video the opposite of what i said. >> maplewood police officer still working a shift after his gun went off at a children's learning center this week. a third grader was able to reach inside his holster and fire the weapon on monday. bullet went into the ground, nobody was hurt. ( laughter ) >> trevor: are you shitting me? a third-grader grabbed a police officer's gun, unholsterred it and fired it before the cop could stop him. that cop needs to be disciplined and that child needs to be promoted. yeah, his parents must be so proud. they're, like, i mean, he's only in third grade but already handling guns at a tenth grade level. so amazing. that's all for now. tune in next time when a baby

accidentally fires off a gun on the senate floor. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause ) you ok there, kurt? we're about to move. karate helps... relieve some of the house-buying... stress. at least you don't have to worry about homeowners insurance. call geico. geico... helps with... homeowners insurance?

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show"! this sunday is the 49th annual earth day. to explore some recent planet-saving innovations, we turn to ronny chieng for a special today's future now. ( cheers and applause ) >> thanks, trevor. sunday is earth day. the one day of the year we pretend to care about the earth by doing silly things like turning off our lights and not flushing our pee. meanwhile, i never flush every day, nor even a poop, and i don't even get a thank you. lots of ideas about how to save the environment. some are stupid and some are really stupid.

take plastic, for example. we use plastic for everything -- bottles, office supplies, john travolta's face. so to solve the plastic prunings problem, some genius came up with this idea. >> at this moment, 165 million tons of plastic is floating in the world's ocean. waste that we now turn into this. which we then use to make shirts. introducing the gant beacons projects, shirts with tech prep containing upcycled ocean plastic. >> finally we can wear garbage without investigate shop. i completely support the idea of recycled clothing. for example, i got this tie at a funeral i crashed. don't judge me. it was opened casket and clothes are for the living. ( laughter ) my only problem, is one day you're going to stop wearing that sea garbage t-shirt and then what happens? you're going to throw it out and it's going to end up right back

in the ocean stuck in a dolphin's butt, okay? thankfully we're not just banking on wearing chewed-up straus to save the earth. some scientists are working to destroy the plastic. >> some scientists may have found a solution to the world's plastic problem. they've engineered an enzyme to break down plastic used to make bottles and other products. >> to have an enzyme that eats the manmade materials is stunning. >> sounds like a great idea until the enzyme gets out of control and develops a taste for human nipples. too risky. we don't need enzymes. what are enzymes? nobody knows. let's just get teenagers to eat plastic as one of the dumb viral challenges, all right? yeah, they're already eating tide pods and snorting condoms. eating plastic will be the healthiest thing they've done all year. saving the planet isn't that hard. let's just do it the old-fashioned way. get elon musk to do it for us.

>> says the world's largest lithium ion battery has been switched on in australia, built by tesla. c.e.o. elon musk says it has the capacity to power more than 30,000 homes for an hour during a blackout. >> giant batteries are a great idea, okay. if my life had one of those, she wouldn't have to keep changing the batteries in her neck massager. every day she's always kicking out of the bedroom so she can use it again and again. apparently her neck gets sore after we bang so hard. what can i say? i guess i'm just that good. ( laughter ) ( applause ) anyway, apparently all this tech stuff is going to clean up the earth or something, i don't know. the only problem, once we're dunn on earth, we're going to have to clean up the mess we made in space. >> the british satellite designed to clean up rubbish in

the earth's orbit has been launched into space. the remove debris project was on a falken 9 rocket which successfully took off from florida last night. the satellite which features a large net to collect junk will be delivered to the international space station beforenauts begin using it next month. >> we've dumped so much garbage from in the universe thatnauts will take off from florida, rocket into space and still think they're in florida. why is there garbage if space? how bad are you missing the trash can that it ends up orbiting the earth? capture it with a net, bring it to earth, then what? throw it into the ocean, make it into a romper? at least up there, it's their problem. it's called earth day, not space day. clean up your own mess, aliens! >> trevor: ronny chieng, everybody! we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) in this dream, you woke up on the morning of

the new york city marathon and someone had stolen your shoes? it was a nightmare. but then you woke up. you ran the marathon, and you won. no... ...we won. me and my vaporfly 4%s.

okay, see it's statements like that that we need to work on. [knocking] am i early? yes, you're early every week. sorry doc. hey shalane! hey. okay, shalane, this is a safe space. do you shower with these shoes on? okay, shalane, this is a safe space. sweat. water break. uh-huh. nobody drinks, 'till this guy sweats. gotta see some sweat. degree advanced protection works up to 100°. but be careful, it won't let you down.

( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> what a lovely, warm welcome. >> trevor: oh, they're wonderful and you are wonderful as well. thank you so much for being on the sew. >> i am delighted. >> trevor: i am such a huge fan of "westworld." it's one of the most frustrating

shows i've ever watched. >> why? >> trevor: that's a robot, that's real -- no, don't do it again, again -- >> you should try acting. >> trevor: no, it's just so much. that clip we just played really in many ways sums up for me your character on the show. a powerful woman who knows how to use the tools that men use against her against them. is that how you see your character on the show? >> wow. against them, against him -- well, first and foremost, she's a robot. she's not -- you know, she's a thing. >> trevor: is she a thing, though? >> a thing, my darling. >> trevor: if a thing thinks, though, like us, is it still a thing? is that not the only thing that makes us -- >> that's one of the things i love about the show is we see mave as a woman. she is a robot. she is a thing, and that's what gets tackled in season 2 is the

constant reminders that she's a thing. that they're things. i mean, really, that's where the harsh reality to have the show finds its core is that how you treat a thing. >> trevor: right. >> and we've got to really think about this because we consider other human beings as things, let's face it. >> trevor: wow. >> and, yeah, i think that is where "westworld" reflects life because people say, oh, if you could go to "westworld," would you want to go? i say, i feel like "westworld" is happening all around us. you can go places where you can do horrific things to people and nothing happens. aide workers go and do their jobs oversees and do horrific things to people even though they're aide workers. we're seeing this stuff happen all the time. i feel like wes "westworld" is amongst us and we are not accepting it. we are treating human beings like things. >> trevor: that is a terrifying prospect when you

think about it. >> it's not a prospect. it's actually (bleep) happening! ( applause ) >> trevor: i'm saying "westworld" being the world is a terrifying idea because "westworld" is all concentrated, it all centers around violence -- >> you can go and have a water coloring holiday. ( laughter ) >> trevor: that's true. >> you see people painting. >> trevor: if you could go to "westworld," what would you choose to do? >> i wouldn't until it's affordable for everyone because it's very expensive. >> trevor: but if you could go. >> i couldn't because i can't afford it. >> trevor: but if you could go. >> but that's why i don't want to go because it's got to be affordable for every person! >> trevor: i like you're the bernie sanders of "westworld"! ( laughter ) when "westworld" premiered, there was a lot of chris simple, like, oh, the show is about object fy'ing women, having women naked on screen and these women have no power or agency or nothing and you watch the show develop and all of a sudden the

women are the wruns running the revolution and changing what's happening. >> oh, yeah. >> trevor: did you want to tweet out spoirls to the fans and say this is not about women! >> when i first was on the show i was a bit weirded out because i knew it was naked 75% of the show and playing the madam of a brothel. i'm like do you know i have been an activist fighting sexual violence against women for 20 years, why are you calling me? but i was intrigued. they're really smart people. i love the work they've done before. jonah's work, the writer, inception, the dark knight. >> trevor: right. >> then i realized they wanted subvert the stereotyped and i was, like, get me naked. ( laughter ) and here's the thing, i have been naked in movies and i have been exploited and i've literally -- i was sexually

abused. my nakedness, my nudity has been the source of deep trauma and shame in the environment of the film industry, so for me to take my clothes off, all of them, is a statement that i never thought i would make, and i did it because this show, what it is doing to empower women and to make us really, really understand the vulnerability of a defenseless human being, not just a woman but a defenseless human being, and the only way we could do that is by the shock factor of nudity and also eeseeing -- seeing nudity not in a sexual way because they are treated like animals in a factory farm. >> trevor: i do not need spoilers, i just need to know you're in the show and are going to be amazing. thank you so much for being here. i appreciate every moment. season 2 of "westworld."

thandie newton, everybody! we'll be right back!
