11:00 pm
♪ respect yourself ♪ respect yourself ♪ >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show"! thank you so much for tuning in! i'm trevor noah! it's going to be great! our guest tonight is msnbc anchor and enemy of the people, andrea mitchell is here, everybody! ( applause )
11:01 pm
we will be chatting with her about why she chooses to be an enemy of the people. first, catching up on today's headlines. every day we hear another story about someone calling the cops on random black people. turns out it happens to famous black people, too. >> actor ving rhames is in the news. not only in his role in the blockbuster "mission impossible" movie that has people talking. he went public about a confrontation with police in his own home. ( laughter ) >> trevor: come on, guys. this shit is getting out of hand. not only is ving rhames your neighbor, he's a super famous person. really? you don't recognize the guy who's been in all these hollywood movies? that doesn't tip you off?
11:02 pm
or is his neighbor really dumb and that's why he called the cops -- hello, 911, the guy from pulp fiction is robbing the house. looks like he's using some kind of key to break on the locks, please hurry! ( laughter ) have you seen ving rhames? you don't need to worry about him getting robbed. you should call 911 for the guy making the mistake of breaking into ving rhames' house. 911? shall be's about to die! ( laughter ) we all know t.s.a. watches our every move in the airport but also the sky. >> "the washington post" reports federal air marshals have conducted secret in flight monitoring of passengers in flight for years. they've identified passengers raising red flags even with no known terror links, including using the bathroom repeatedly or sweating heavily. >> trevor: hold on. hold on. anyone sweating and going to the
11:03 pm
bathroom? so basically they're looking for terrorists or people who have irritable bowel syndrome, which, let's be honest, on an airplane is basically the same thing. i know the news says the story is about the t.s.a. monitoring americans but i think the real story is these air marshals are getting free flights. sounds like a scam to me. all too convenient. all of them are, like, there is something fishy about the guy heading to the bahamas. i'm going to follow him. yeah. and the lady going to hawaii, uh-huh. yeah, what about that suspicious dude going to somalia? no, he's cool. he can go. totally cool. ( laughter ) international news, an egyptian zoo has taken exotic animals to a whole new level. >> keepers at a zoo in egypt are accused of trying to fool their guests with an unusual trick. listen to this. they are accused of painting zebra stripes on a donkey in one of their exhibits. although the zoo director insists that the animal is real,
11:04 pm
its large ears and smudged paint job made some people take a second look. >> trevor: okay. okay. now, i'll be honest with you, i do not see the problem here. ( laughter ) i don't. first off, if you went to egypt to see a zebra, which is by the way how you say it, you deserve to get tricked. second, you know this is the future of zoos. once we've killed off all the wild animals because of pollution and shit, this is what we're going to have to do, putting wigs on house cats and go, oh, look at that magnificent lion! wow! this is our future, people! ( applause ) and, by the way, i don't know why anyone is surprised. egyptians have been inventing animals thousands of years. look at the sphinx. what is that? it's not a real thing. to be honest, if that fake zebra makes one kid smile then it's worth it. i think it's worth it. i mean, kids get lied to all the
11:05 pm
time. when i was a kid, my dad took me to a zoo and showed me a camel and years later i found out the truth is he wasn't my dad. ( laughter ) let's move on to the main story. michael cohen, up until recently known as donald trump's personal attorney, right hand man and a guy who you're pretty sure swallows a lot of bees. but as loyal as cohen was to trump, everyone always suspected he would flip on him if it came down to it. now we're down to it and cohen is doing summersaults. >> it appears the president's former attorney and confidant is ready to talk and what michael cohen could say may have major implications on special counsel robert mueller's probe. >> michael cohen claims then candidate trump knew in advance about the june 2016 meeting in trump tower in which russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on hillary clinton. he was informed by donald trump, jr. about that offer --
11:06 pm
>> trevor: wow. that is shocking information. donald trump had an actual in-person conversation with one of his sons. ( laughter ) ( applause ) also, this is russia thing is pretty big, i guess. but, i mean, yeah, if they can prove that trump knew his campaign was meeting with the russians it would go a long way towards proving collusion. so trump knows he needs backup, which is why he immediately sent out the bat signal. unfortunately, all he got was the bat boy. yes. rudy giuliani. once again unleashed upon the world this weekend, and he was a man with one mission, destroy the reputation of the guy who used to have his job. >> the man is a liar, a prove -- a proven liar. there's no way you're gonna bring down the president of the united states on the testimony, uncorroborated, of a proven
11:07 pm
liar. >> one of the biggest liars in america. the guy is unethical, a scumbag, a horrible person. >> trevor: which is why president trump hired him in the first place. ( laughter ) ( applause ) that's why he's here, let's be honest -- (as rudy giuliani). so rudy giuliani goes on tv and says cohen is and always was a lying scumbag, but what's great is how cnn was ready for him. >> let me just play for you the things you have said about michael cohen, who you are now going after in no uncertain terms. >> the man is an honest, horrible lawyer. michaelas going to tell the truth. the man is a pathological manipulator, liar. >> okay, so which one is it? >> george washington would have said that about benedict arnold at a certain point in time. what the hell are you picking on me for saying he was an honest, horrible man? >> trevor: yeah, what are you picking on me for? your beef is with past giuliani! he's the guy you want, not me! ( laughter )
11:08 pm
nice to see rudy giuliani has the same face we have when he's watching himself. oh, oh, that handsome guy shouldn't have said those things. he shouldn't have said that. ( laughter ) thing about rudy, just when you think he's backed into the corner, he find an even tighter corner. >> cohen always goes too far. when you're lying, there's always a trap. he said there was a one on one meeting donald, jr. same in and told him the meeting was about to take place. two witnesses say it didn't happen. >> the president and his son. >> all right. >> trevor: all right. all right. all right, fine. you've got me with your very first rebuttal, and that has completely destroyed my argument, all right, all right. i see how any thinking person could pari that attack i made. props to giuliani for trying, but your reasoning couldn't be the crime didn't happen because the people accused of the crime says it didn't happen. that's not how it works.
11:09 pm
your honor, i witnessed myself not robbing the bank. so case closed, let's go spend this money! ( cheers and applause ) but that, that's the new argument from giuliani. michael cohen, the guy donald trump trusted to do his dirty work for decades is, starting now, but always forever, not a trustworthy person. and even though giuliani spent the last five days confidently pushing that message, you can tell by watching him on this morning "fox & friends" that cohen flipping on the team has him a little rattled. >> what about the suggestion from michael cohen that he is willing to say that the president knew about the don, jr. meeting in trump tower with the russian lawyer? ( laughter ) >> trevor: now, either this topic makes giuliani nervous or his leg took a bunch of cocaine.
11:10 pm
seriously, what's going on with that leg. >> collusion is not a crime, he didn't do anything wrong. >> trevor: we'll be right back.

(thomas) nice choices! you see, now verizon lets you mix and match your family unlimited plans like you mix and match your flavors. so you get what you want, without paying for things you don't. number 6. i know. where do i put it? in my belly. (vo) one family. different unlimited plans. starting at $40 per line on the network you deserve. my gums are irritated. i don't have to worry about that, do i? actually, you do. harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. crest gum detoxify works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. and, now there's new crest gum & enamel repair. it gives you clinically proven healthier gums and helps repair and strengthen weakened enamel. gum detoxify and gum & enamel repair, from crest.
11:12 pm
gums are good, so is my check-up! crest. healthy, beautiful smiles for life. >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show"! so, late last week, it was reported that the mueller investigation has entered a new phase. that's right. robert mueller is emo, now. ( laughter ) he's still investigating, but he, like, doesn't really care. ( laughter ) that's not all. even though mueller hasn't been able to interview the president
11:13 pm
yet, last week, he figured out how to do the next best thing. >> special counsel robert mueller is now investigating a new subject. the president's twitter feed. according to the "new york times," mueller is scrutinizing trump's tweets and negative statements directed at attorney general jeff sessions and former f.b.i. director james comey. the "times" reports mueller wants to question trump about his tweets. >> trevor: mueller is officially looking into trump's tweets. something tells me mura muellers not a tweet guy. the special counsel is going to treat donald trump's treats like they're important? remember, the president told us many times that @donald trump is the real donald trump. >> it allows me to give a message without necessarily having to go through people where i'm giving them a message and they're putting it down
11:14 pm
differently from what i mean. i get it out much more honestly than dealing with dishonest reporters. it's a way of bypassing dismonths media, right? we go, wah, wah! ( laughter ) >> trevor: say what you want about donald trump, but that man really has a wah with words. ( laughter ) but you heard him, you heard hin twitter than anywhere else. when mueller finally gets trump into court, forget the bible, they should make him swear on his phone. ( laughter ) so robert mueller is looking at trump's twitter. not the worst deal. but if you've been on twit your know how easy it is to get distracted. mueller will log on then all of a sudden watchdogs dancing to drake. which is a real thing. ( laughter ) ( applause ) i've watched that 300 times, and i still have questions! was the dog really dancing to
11:15 pm
the music or did they add the music later or driving the car before he jumped out, if so where is that video? does the dog have a sound cloud? what were we talking about? mueller investigating trump's tweets. mueller, investigatings trump's tweets for obam obstruction of justice is a good idea. you don't have to do it. we at "the daily show" have gone through donald trump's tweets and come up with our own definitive analysis -- right here in this book ""the daily show" presents the donald j. trump twitter library." you want to get to the bottom of the russia conspiracy? we've done the work and compiled all of trump's tweets that show you how it really went down, every single tweet, yeah! every single tweet! ( cheers and applause ) and it understan turns out crooy and the f.b.i. are the real
11:16 pm
russians. ( laughter ) you just got shamaland. ( laughter ) and if you want to get trump on obstruction of justice, we've covered that as well. you see, we found the tweet where he pretty much confesses to the obstruction of justice. look at that. look at that. go real close -- nuh-uh! you have to buy the book! can't just read it for free on the show! ( applause ) the point is this book is far more than just trump's twitter feed printed out. we've curated more than 400 of the president's tweets, analyzed them and added context to get inside his head. like do you have any idea how much he hates diet coke no matter how much he drinks it all the time? here's the history of donald trump's twitter war against diet coke. i'm not sure it helps your investigation but it's pretty funny. ( laughter ) look, bobby, no time to waste.
11:17 pm
donald trump could tweet at the time you're fired. buy this wherever fine books and incriminating evidence are sold. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause ) honestly... honestly... honestly... we should've used a condom but we got distracted. i know i should get tested for hiv but honestly i'm afraid to find out. honestly, we've been together for a while so
11:18 pm
getting tested never really crossed my mind. honestly, no one wants to think about hiv. but there are things that everyone can do to help protect their sexual health. condoms are a great start. get tested. and ask a healthcare provider about all of your prevention options. because honestly... our health is worth protecting.

( cheers and applause ) welcome to the show. >> great to be here. >> trevor: congratulations on celebrating 40 years in journalism. ( cheers and applause ) >> pretty amazing.
11:22 pm
>> trevor: that is quite a career that you've had, and although you are hosting a show, you're one of the few journalists who decided to stay on the front lines and ask the questions of the president. you've covered seven presidents so you're one of the few people who i would really want to know the answers of this question and that is donald trump that different from america has experienced before? >> absolutely very different. i mean, the first president in modern history who has no government or military experience. so there's that. >> trevor: right. >> but, i mean, i feel like him having a lack of knowledge is not something we're shocked by. the question i'm asking is more about from a journalistic point of view. we hear about donald trump and the press and this adversarial relationship that you have, but as a journalist who has covered presidents who have had scandals, wars, woofed issues that have plagued them, is the adversarial relationship with the trump white house any different to what you experienced? >> i think it is different.
11:23 pm
interestingly, he's more accessible or has been until recently. more accessible, more moments when he will answer questions on the fly, but fewer press conferences, fewer briefings at the white house. >> trevor: right. >> and things were turned upside down. >> trevor: in what way? >> the reality is completely different. we don't know, first of all, when facts don't seem to matter anymore, which is a problem. >> trevor: right. >> facts in the white house, facts in other agencies, plus no one else can really speak for him. the fact that he's on social media, that he is so active on twitter and those are official archival records, presidential records, he is making news through social media in a way that no prior president ever did. >> trevor: right. >> which is certainly his option, but that means his cabinet doesn't know, his intelligence officials don't know what to expect, and you hear things coming out on twitter, and then he'll change his mind the next day. the correspondent dictions. so -- the contradictions.
11:24 pm
so it's very difficult for the white house correspondents, my colleagues who work 24-7 trying to keep up, and you never know what to expect next. >> trevor: when you look at the rhetoric of a trump campaign orally, you see trump talking about the fake news and point at the back of the room and the crowd boos, and people say it's a wrestling show, he's just playing the heel and it's all fun and famous. then you had an incident of violence against a news room. you had journalists who were gunned down and people said, well, this is part of the environment trump is encouraging. do you feel that, in some way, donald trump is encouraging people to have a hateful relationship with the media? >> i don't connect the president at all with what happened at the capital gazette in annapolis. that was a horror and completeli believe someone mentally deranged who went after that
11:25 pm
organization. so i don't think it's fair to blame him for that. but i do think that he has very deliberately set up the press as the enemy of the people. i don't feel that i am the enemy of the people, an it's not benign. ( cheers and applause ) you know, this is something that we first heard from joseph stalin. this is very dangerous. it undercuts democracy. and for years and years, i've covered the state department where we've tried to teach and help advocate with new democracies how to train journalists and how we do journalism. secretaries of state travel all over the world and deliberately, until more recently, deliberately go to beijing, go to turkey, go to moscow, have press conferences, etch if the host country will not, to show dictators that this is what the first amendment means. it's very, very important. it is our value system, and i do
11:26 pm
think that, by talking about fake news, fake news is what russia did to our election, the propaganda that we see from russia invaigd our social media -- invading our social media, to say nothing to have the hacking. that's fake news. propaganda is fake news, not what my colleagues at the white house and covering other beats in washington do every day, sometimes around the world at great peril to their lives. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: do you think, in the 37 years you had to prepare for donald trump, there was anything that prepared you for him? was there anything that you look back on and go, like, i'm glad that happened because it reminds me of this or are you a complete newbie once again? >> i am such a newbie. ( laughter ) this is unlike anything that we have ever experienced as reporters, and it's challenging us. we're hiring more investigative
11:27 pm
reporters, we're all throwing a lot at it, the newspapers are, we in television are, online, and this is a big challenge for american media, and, so far, i think we're up to it. >> trevor: thank you so much for being on the show. congratulations again.
