wow. we figured out your goal. i am going to make you the buffest dude val kilmer has ever seen. from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. revor: welcome, everybody. welcome to the daily show. thank you so much. welcome to the daily show. i'm trevor noah 57bd it has been 620 hours since we have last seen melania trump. my guest tonight is a rapper and actor in the new movie oceans eight. awkwafina isere, everybody. but first up, if you were

planning to invite fbi agents to a party, be warned, because they got some banging dance moves. >> an fbi agent is under investigation after his fun accidentally went off on a dance floor in denver. >> as he flipped his hand flies out of its holster to the floor then accidentally going offer as he picks it up. watch ain as he reaches, there is that muzzle fla bullet striking a man in the crowd. >> trevor: damn, i always thought that quite people were bad at dancing, but i dispt know they were actually dangerous. wow. there are so many things that strike me about this video. first of all what is thi nightclub, right? no, look. it's lit up like a grocery store, there is a guy in shorts and flipflops am i think the floor is astroturf, like where is this, is there a cover charge or did you just flash your loony nes tattoo to get in, how does it work. and also how is the fbi agent going to shoot someone and walk away like my bad, pie bad, party foul, all right, let's keep it

moving. keep it moving. the best part for me has to be the flipflop guys who disappears as soon as the gun goes offer, look at him, bang out, i'll outk i'm out. yeah, i like that. that was the most black response you can ever get. because all the other people are like oh my god, a gun off thatbie is like oh shit i'm out, i'm out. now luckily the guy without bot shot is okay andi think he has a pretty dope story. as long as he keeps it short. that score over there, that is from when an fbi agent shot me, accidenteddally while dancing. in other news scott pruitt head again. epa is coming under fire this o weird sphorree. he apparently asked one of the epa observations to help him buy a used mattress from the trump international hotel. yeah, that's what he did and before you knock him. i think you have to gift man some credit. buying something second hand literally the only good thing he

has ever done for the environment. so give him that. and this, this is one of my favorite stories from yesterday. former senator rick santorum said that president barack obama more than donald trump exacerbated racism in america. that is what he said. he said obama actually made racism worse which when you think about t he has a point. because think about it, in this country's 200 year htory, no one had ever called a sittg president the "n" word. then obama shows up, and it's everywhere. yeah. thanks, obam, thanks. people are like i never said that word until he came it must be him. but let's move on 689e of president's top selling points during the campaign was that as a man of the people he was going to make sure that the elites would be treated exactly like everybody else. that is what trump said, especially when it came to the law. >> no one will be above the law, in a trump administration. >> we will have one set of rules for everyone. in hillary clirch ton's world.

we have one set of rules for her, and another s of rules for everybody else. >> i will never lie to you. i will never put any other interests before you. and i will never, ever stop fighting for you. (applause). >> trevor: that was so romantic it sounded like he was about to start singing, i swear. by the moon and the stars, in the sky. that trump supporters loved about imhad. unlike crooked hillary and black barack obama, trump did not think that anyone was above the law. including himself. that is what he said. in the past few months, mueller's investigation has started closing in on trump like a fort night storm. and because of that, trump and his team have started updating his presidency's terms and conditions. >> a memo from president trump's lawyer to special counsel robert mueller says flat out that a president cannot obstruct justice because he has authority

over all federal investigations. >> what they argue in this memo is that the president of the united states because is he the chief law enforcement officer can terminate any federal investigation at any time for any reas you heard rig, trump's lawyers arguing that as president trump has pot we are to kill all investigations into himself for any reason. essentially that the president is above the law. which makes sense. i mean we all remember when the ders were like you know what america needs, a king, yeah, that is what they said, rate? i couldn't concentrate because of all their rapping t through me off. so anyway, according to donald trump's legal team the president by definition cannot obstruct justice. but even if it ever turned out that he did obstruct justice, they also say that the president can't be charged with a crime. >> mr. trump's attorney ruddy giuliani telling the huffington post st impossible to indict a sitting president, no matter the offense.

claiming if he shot james comey, he would be imped the feks day. impeach him and then you can do whatever you want to do to him. >> okay, so the president can't be criminally charged. he can only be impeached by congress. now i understand that as a legal argument. but i do think it's a little weird that out of all of the examples they could have picked they went with murdering james comey. it almost makes me feel like they've been thinking about this. yeah, i'm just saying james comey, if you get invited to a party and trump starts dancing, you should run, that is what you should do, runment but let's make sure we are on the same page here. so trump's legal team says the president can't obstruct justice but even if he did obstruct justice he can't be indicted. and even if show he is indicted they've got a plan for that too. >> mr. trump's lawyers at the time argue the president cannot be spped or forced to testify under oath. >> the idea is you can't interfere with him, either from

the point of view of indictment or questioning. you condition interfere with the president's time, his effort, his concentration. >> this isn't just theoretical. is he not just signature up there playing tiddlywinks, is he involved in four or five unbelievably historic negotiations right now. >> trevor: i'm sorry, wait, what? trump is too busy to testify? get the [bleep] out of here, man!, no. you might be able to make thatct trump? the dud has spent days of his 500 days playing golf, are you serious? his desk is so empty it looks like no one has invented paper yet. he's fake driven two trucks, two. that man is busy? the man lies, tweets fox newses jessie watters, i can understand live tweeting handity, fine, but if you have time to live tweet jessie watters, you have time to testify, okay. trump has so much time he could help me move if i was moving. he could, yeah. he has so much time copick me up at the airport, an not like just swing by, he could park and meet

me at arrival that is how much time he has. don't tell me he doesn't have time. he has the time. (applause) but you have got to appreciate how far trump has come from the campaign. from no one is above the law to i don't have time to testify cuz i got that thing that i'm doing. and we haven't even reached the best part yet. because it turns out even if trump could be charged with obstruction and got indicted and found the time in his calender to testify, according to trump, he has got a cheat code. >> president trump rang in this morning on the debate tweeting as has been stated by numerous legal scholars, i have the absolute right to pardon myself. but why would i do that when i have done nothing wrong? >> yeah, why would i do that? why? trump's claiming the right to let himself off the hook for any crime at any time. yeah. something tells me that trump wants the same rules for everyone except himself. which even if it's right legally doesn't sound like a democracy

to me, right. a president shouldn't be able to pardon themselves. it's like sneezing and then saying bless you to yourself. it's not right. you can do it but it's not ah, you it for someone e ay it or you die. that's how it works. and i know at this moment trump is going to say oh no, no, i'm not pardoning myself but you know that's not my plan, i'm just putting it out there. that is not how trump works. we know, i know as soon as someone brings up prison and trump realizes is he going to have to spend his days reading and working out he is going to be like pardon, i'm using my pardon, folksk i'm using it all. we'll be right back.

. >> trevor: welcome back to the daily show. you know, in general i'm not a big fan of president trump. but the one area where i am rooting for him is with north ko i want him to win that nobel peace prize. mostly just to see him bite into it because he thinks it's chocolate. so for me, this was good news. >> good morning. back on. president trump announcing that historic summit between the u.s. and north korea once cancelled will now take place as originally planned. >> this summit that was on and then off, is now back on again. >> the president announced this apore on june 12th forn anric meetiith north korea's kim jung-un. the president called it a getting to know you meeting plus. >> trevor: what? a getting to know you meeting plus? plus what? plus onion rings? a plan it shut down north korea's nuclear program what is the plus, because that is what this meeting was

supposed to be about. do you remember that. maybe he neens plus an fda because that is usually how he gets to know someone, neighbor is that. i don't know how it works. but still, the summit is officially back on. but don't get too excited because if anything, i think we should treat this like the rosanne tweet, sure it is on now, but it's only on 3 a.m. and is getting cancelled again so don't get too excited but for now we can enjoy now north korea got back on the side. >> the former d-- now north korea top nuclear negotiator behe first north korean official to vits the white house in nearly 20 years within the point man delivered a letter from the north korean letter. >> a picture of president trump with the vice chairman of north korea te, big smiles on their faces. president trump holding the oversized envelope with the letter from kim jung-un. >> trevor: look at how excited he is about his giant envelope. like, like it looks like he's

the one visiting the leader in the oval office. why is he so happy? you can see t doesn't even matter what is in the envelope. just trump is like a kid with gets an expensive race car for christmas and you look over and he is just playing with the cardboard box. weee. and we actually got the envelope rit here, the actual 23468, here it is. if you want to shall did shall this is it. it looks so big when he was holding it. it must be like an optical illusion. anyway, so what did that letter say that convinced trump to resume denuclearization talks with north korea. well, that is what reporters outside the white house wanted to know. >> this was a very good meeting. this was a meeting where a letter was given to me by kim jung-un and that letter was very nice letter, oh, would you like to see what was in that letter, would you like to shall-- how much, how much? how much? >> give us the flavor of what the letter said. >> it was a very interesting

letter. >> but the president subsequently revealed he hadn't opened i >> no i didn't-- i haven't seen the letter yet. i purposefully didn't open the letter. i haven't opened it. i may northbound for a big surprise, folks. (laughter). >> trevor: come on, dude. you know there are times when i understand why trump lies because it's about something important like this is the biggest tax cut in history or no collusion or my wife hasn't left me. i get that. but going from the letter is interesting and great to i haven't read it, in under 10 minutes, that is just wasting a lie. it's getting to ask god one question and just go waz up! but look, fine, either way the summit is back on. it is just a week away and everything seems to be back on track except, except for one kim-sized thing. >> there have been some published reports that north korea wants the u.s. to pay for

a fancy hotel room for kim jung-un in singapore. >> a hotel in singapore where the presidential suite runs $6,000 a night within the spokesperson for the state department did respond to the "washington post" saying that the united states doesn't plan to pay this hotel bill and won't be asking another country to pick up the tan either. >> trevor: it makes sense, if one thing is going to break the deal it is trump having to say for someone else to stay nay presidential suite. that makes sense. trump will probably say no, i'm the president. and kim will say i don't see supreme leader suites anywhere, because none of them kefer back down they will end up sharing a room and truill be like okay, fine, but we have to sleep bult to butt. also if you need to pee in the middle of the night, i don't mind. or, or-- wow, that took you awhile, that took you awhile. or there is another solution. truld book his own presidential suite and then everyone else could just book kim jung-un his presidential suite. and i know you are asking the

big question, who is going to pay for it, mexico. we'll be right back. plaws plus [ music: "bygones" by oliver ] totally re-mixed. introducing the all-new volkswagen jetta.

(applause). >> trevor: welcome back to the daily show. my guest tonight say rapper and an aker who stars in oceans eight. >> we're following the queen and we're following the queen. >> is that our only choice. >> where she at? all right. that one is mine. there are no hard feelings. >> you know what i mean? come back any time.

>> i thought so. >> please welcome awkwafina. (applause) >> what's up? >> trevor: welcome to the show. >> hey. >> trevor: and con grated laitionzs, first and fore most. i mean i saw you blow up from a few videos you had online am you had some great rap song you put online, it blew up and now are you in oceans eight, one of the most anticipated movies, has it sunk in. >> no, not at all, yeah. and i'm in constant disbelief. >> trevor: i feel like you deserve it though. are yoeally funny. are you great with your music. as an actor, you also have been killing it as well. this was one of those roles where i feel like were you perfect for it and i got to watch the movie. and what i was most impressed by was you were just your character. you are just kosh tenant. >> pie grandma says you're not even acting, you're just being yourself, like thanks, grand marks yeah. >> trevor: i think were you

acting. >> thank you. >> trevor: unlike your grand mother, not that your grand mother is wrong, i'm just saying i think you were. what i found interesting was this, i heard you speak a bit or asian people inies.characters and what was cool about constance's character, is yes, constance was asian but she is not doing asian things, no, this is a part of who i am. was that important to you. >> yeah, it was, of course. and i think like the cool thing about constance. i watched the movie and like, you know, i was her but i still have not seen anything like he you kns very unique. and she is from that environment, from queens, from new york. we shot that part scene very close to where i grew up. >> trevor: tell us a little about constance but everyone in the oceans franchise will have a skill. she is like a three card monthy huses eller. >> yes, kind of a pick pocket that they need at that moment. she is from queens, a new yorker. she's very elemental in the heights. >> trevor: right.

you have a lot of people who have come out like with this movie and have gone like this is exciting. this is oceans eight and you obviously have the negative people, there san all if he neal-- female reboot t is just a kick ass movie.t is a fun moviee people that say that, they need to watch the movie first and then go on red dit. it is like watch it first and then you know start your subreddit. >> trevor: it is oceans eight which is going to be a mega blockbuster. but you are also in another move ye that many people didn't see coming. it widely anticipated. in some ways as well t was crazy rich asian. >> i thought you many for-- yes, crazy rich ash wanness furry i thought you mentd fury asian beaver snoos fury asian what. >> fury asian beavers, the other movie. >> i wasn't going go into that. >> i heard of that because of ronnie chang. >> shout out ronnie clang.

>> he is in the movie. >> yeah. >> and ronnie was like hey, man, i'm going to do this movie and i think it is really important for myself as an asian person. that is how he pitched it, right. and no like when you see how the movie has been received, what is really cool about it is so there are so many people representing every different pipe of asian person you can possibly imagine. that must have been a fun experience. >> it was, yeah t was so fun. i mean the cool thing about crazy rich asian is the aspect that it's like an asian movie, that conversation we never had with us. i think that was a beautiful thing because we are all that one asian on set, you know, then llectively we were together and that just didn't come soup that was really cool to experience that. >> that san interesting place to be in. like when you get to northbound roles like this, crazy rich asian do you think it changes how you see your role what role you would accept in hollywood. >> totally. i think it also is telling of like a larger shift in hollywood

right now. and i think that ople will say you know, if the asian american sin he ma should not be based upon crazy rich asian. it should just be a thing. i think the same thing with oceans. we should have the all-le cast not depend ent on how well the movies do. i think also the rolls have changed. when i first started auditioning i was getting roles, they asked for accents that weren't helpful, they were kind of funny thing. and characters that you know, their asian is kind of defined them and i think that i'm seeing less and less of that. there have s a positive thing. >> that san exciting thing to see, especially if you are tbetting too the industry now. are you an actornd a wrapper. do you know if one is going to overtake the order. >> i have a very small nich of superfans, i will never try to push my rap to a larger audience. this will be like where it is. kind of-- i don't know if the audience doesn't know the context but-- check it out on

youtube. thank you, thank you. >> the one. >> trevor: one of sus like i'm familiar with the vage. >> yeah, but i think movies, i look at movies kind of lake a ion. i don't have control over what movies i will do. whereas music i am constantly doing that have i more creative control in that. movies are a collaborative experience. i will do it as long as can i. >> trevor: from oceans eight and from crazy rich asians i think will you have a lot more control than you think. thank you for being on the show, really great having you on. oceans eight will be out on june 8th. awkwafina, everybody. we'll be right back.
