guest tonight is an author, a feminist and one of the smartest people i will ever talk to, y.pplause) will have fun conversation but first let's catch up on today's headlines. est primary election day ofthe the year. with eight states picking their nominees. and in california democrats were worried that so many of them were running for congress, that they would cancel each other off the ballot. now luckily that didn't happen. they didn't trip on their own donningie dick and california democrats have made it on to the ballot for november in every single district. which is good news for them. although st a little sad that in just a few years democrats have gone from yes, we can! to we qualified as an option. ther new do you hate flying? well, the airlines don't care. >> first it was shrinking leg room. then it was the overhead bin space, now american airlines is thinking about making bathrooms

smaller. the company announced they're planning to make them only two feet wide in their new planes. american airlinlanes will have 172s, 10 m than what they have now. >> yeah, bathrooms are going to get even smaller on airplanes. this is why i always choose to check my dueest the gate, you kn.yeah,t it's worthstly wondere thing airlines will come up with next, two people per seat? someone will come up, excuse me, hello. will you be like i'm sorry, am i in your seat, and they are like no, you are my seat, that is what this is, because like when does it end. you pay for extra luggage, you pay extra for leg room, extra to guarantee your seat, you know it make you pay forferentme before parts of the flight, sir, we are about to descend so i will need to you exit the plane, but we are still in the air, oh, you wanted the takeoff and landing package. you done [bleep] up. so they are trying to squeeze every single dime out of us. but lake really, squeeze.

in fact, to give you an idea of how small these american airlines bathrooms would be, we're joined in the studio by our own dic, everybody. (applause) >> thank you, trevor to show you what we are talking about we built a full scale model of american airlines proposed 24 inch bathroom. and it like the walls are closing in. you know, sufficient kateing us like we're trapped in a hopeless marriage. you know, there's barely enough room for a person to sit comfortably, wash their hands or share their by kini line at 30,000 feet. trevor,-- . >> trevor: thank you so much for that, desi, in other news president trump today grante kim kardashian's request to commute the prison sen tefns 63 year old drug dealer alice marie johnson. and you know, the thing about kim kardashian, like have you ever noticed how she's such a great person who might one day be able to get me out of prison, which is why i will never make another joke about her.

ye cuz i mean you can imagine, i will be in jail, kim, please tell the president i am innocent. she be will like first, you can tell that joke about me and ray jay, and i will be like so the joke is-- sorry desi. >> hmmmm. >> trevor: what are you doing hey, when you got to g you got to go. >> trevor: that's not a real bathroom. >> it is now. (laughter). >> trevor: desi lydic, everybody. (app wow. let's move on now. to our main story facebook, the my space of twitter. are they violating our privacy? can we trust them with our data. and why do so many people in my news feed have border collies who need kidneansplas. >> but this week before any of those quons answered facebook's problems got a little bit worse because it turns out they were als giving our data to device manufacturers like apple and samsung. and then just yesterday found out our personal data hane

global. >> facebook is under new scrutiny today after acknowledging data sharing partnerships with at leastour chinese electronic companies. rld's thirdnese companies is largest phone maker, some u.s. intelligence officials called the firm a natd security threat. trevor: okay, so on the downside facebook may have compromised national security. on the upid though, at least now we aw know how to pronounce huawei, yeah t balances out. china may vawl of our personal information but we are only a few more data brea away from now facebook say thases they want to change. but i don't know how easy it will be for the company. considering that the core of its business is to turn your information into profits. which they are really good at doing. last year alone facebook brought in 40 billion dollars in which is 98% of their revenue. and it makes sense. i mean like what, you think they were making money from your pokes? no, kes lose you money, just

ask billilly.time you see an ad. so the more time you spend on facebook, the more money they make. which is why they found a really effective way to keem you on the site. >> what people don't see about facebook is that polarization is built into the business model. polarization is profitable. >> facebook spends all t tlearning your emotional hot buttons and it exploits thosehot makes you hyally engaged, makes the adverti valuabling you angru afraid is really good for facebook's business. >> tharytd, basically the human impulse to get into an argument, never back down and die before ever concediingle point, facebook figured out how to monetize that. that is the core of the facebook business that might never disappear. and you know, maybe we all would have caught on to it sooner if facebook wasn't just a website. maybe we would have figured ittl physical place.

hey, want to see a pique of my kid? >> nope, i'm heading out. >> don't want to stay for another drink? >> sorry, but this place kind of blows. i have procrastinated long enough. got toet back to work.. >> check t before you go, this guy, this bernie would want. >> seriously? all right. here is what i hate a personie bro. >> you want another drink whate. bernie is a socialist. the jd that a rust belt voter would ever. >> hey, what do you know about rust belt voters. we are real america. a pitcher please, we'll be here >> look, climate change is real, did you even see leonardo di dicaprio series. >> want to seeique of my kid.

acclaimed author from nigeria whose mo sellingbook is called r a feminist manifesto in 15 suggestions, please welcome chimamanda ngozi adichie. (applause) welcome to the show. >> thank you >> trevor: i'm so excited to have you here becaus f of your a long time. i've been a fan of your words for a long time. i have to ask you before weet into the book, as a person who is considered as one of the most fore most feminists of our time, why is it that so many people see the word feminist as a negative thing? >> because i think that femm has long been associated wit the most extre versions of it. so people think of feminists as a crazy wom hits men and doesn't shave.

(laughter) and t ofeally crazy negative stereotypes have behed to feminism. people'tassou call youelf feminist, why don't say youtalist. well, feminism is. >> trevor: right. >> feminism is about justice for everyone. but you have to name youroblem. and the problem is that women ve been excluded. so we need to call it what 2 is. ing, becse that's--t's >> trevor: in many ways, in many ways that is the same thing people say about black lives matter. >> yes. >> trevor: why don't you say all lives matter, we the rest of the livers matter, the problem needs to be said. the book you have written here is really different from your other officer offering, a feminist manifesto in 15 suggestions. >> i like that you keep making it easier and easier and easier for people to be feminists. this is a really interesting bookment how did this book c about? o m friend had a baby and she said i want

her to be femin i want her li bett thran my. she said what should i do.i'm l. so then i thought i should write her a letter. it was an email nay wrote to her. and i decided to turn it into a book and i made a few changes but mainly it was for my and only after i had baby, pie daughter is two and a half, didt of 2e8 people what to do about child raising when you don't have a chi >> right. >> it is much easier to do with a hypothetical child than a real child. >> what will you say is the most difficult part of rais child to be a feminist. >> you know, it's not that-- it is easy to do but it's you have to fight against, it sort of feels like the universe has a conspigainst you. so you tell your child, you know, you don't have t play with dolls so then you go to the store and the girl'sionse just . and you know, the still very much that blue and pink in the world, and are you trying to teach your child you can be

whr you want to be. but it can feel as though there is a lot that you need to pushback, you know, from the world. but it is doable. optimism aboue can change the world. >> trevor: what you say then it's still possible for a woman, i mean i know my mom always say this to me but someeople struggle with the concep would you say it man to say i am a feminist, i believe in equality, but i still want a man to open the door for me. i like that gesture or is that problematic in and of itself. >> the thing b by the way, yos . >> thank you. >> trevor: are you. >> you aretunate to have been raised by her, trevor, i'm serious. i think everybody good in you is because your mother raised you. >> trevor: you know what is funny is-- (app trevor: i appreciate that. but the way you said it, it is a beautiful compliment that sounds like an insult, you know, everything good in you is from your mom, the rest of that shit is you, that is you and your dad, thank you. how do you respond? >> i think just like holding the door shouldn't be gender.

i think it is a lovely thing to hold the doo we shoulhold or for everyone. ld the door for men and >> trevor: right. >> and so i think the idea of sorted of holding the door for a woman because she is a woman, i have trouble with it i'm quite happy for people to hold the door for me but i hope they're not doing itecause of this sort of idea of c hiv alry because that is an idea that women are weak. people that we should protect are people who need protecting, whether men or women. which is also why ort of have trouble with the idea of women and children. when women are classified in the same, like when there is a tragedy and we say women and clirn should leave first. i think actually the people who are weak, unwell, you know, should leave first. >> trevor: interesting. when raising a child and saying i am going to raise a feminist, for many people they immediate connotation that will come to their mind is that means y yeah. >> trevor: but from reading your work, a lot of the work has to be done by men. men need to participate. why is that so important? >> because men have to be on

board. i think you ca change women all you want, if you don't ce men, nothing changes because we share the world. it is men and women. and i also think that we live in a world where men are more likely to listen to men. >> oh. it's true. >> trevor: wow. >> you done think so? >> trevor: so how do you coce the first man? >> i think some men have already onvinced. people like barack obama, is a very good role model because he is feminist and he is cool. so he is actually-- and we need more men like thatp. like the men need to spieng. men need to be on board. men need to not think of of-- something that is attacking >> trevo >> i think t they neestand that feminism is something that is good for eryone because really whenll ofs released fromnder ro. >> and in the es about justice, don't you want to live in a just world. so there are some men who have been convinced. more men need to be. trevor, you should get crack
