comedy central >> 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," i'm trevor noah, thank you so much for tuning in. our guest tonight, actor you probably know from hbo's silicon valley, jimmy o yang is here, everybody. (cheers and applause) we're going to be talking about his new movie, crazy rich asians

but first let's get to today's headlines. this has been another rough week for the trump white house. scandals, bad press, bad poll numbers but the good news is they found someone to blame. >> white house press secretary sarah sanders dropping a bombshell on today's white house. she walked in and read a statement for president trump announcing that the white house is revoking the security clearance of former cea director john bren arne. >> mr. brennan has recently leveraged his status to name a seefers unfounded and outrage us allegations wild outbursts on the internet and tferlings. mr. brennan's line and recent conduct is wholly inconsistent with access to the facial's most closely 4e8d secrets. >> trevor: unfounded allegations, wild outbursts and lying. sounds like sarah sanders is reading from president trump's daily schedule. (laughter) that is what it sounds like to me, mr. president we feed to wrap thup, will you be late for your 12:30 outburst, come on. i don't really understand why former officials need to keep

their security claryance forever. as far as i know nick fury isn't showing up to john brennan unannounced to bring him back for one last job but something tells me trump isn't just protecting secrets for the good 69 country. >> as part of this review i'm evaluating action with respect to the following individuals. james clapper, james comey, michael hadden, sally yaits, susan rice, andrew mckaib, peter strzok, and bruce orb. >> trevor: the list, trying to hide it as something as i'm canceling security clearance for jaimsz comey, peter strzok, rosie o'donnell, fake new guys don lemon and the girl at mcdonald's without gave me barbecue sauce instead of-ee mustard am i thought my tunning was having a-- scary. now there was some other big news today that we have to talk about. pennsylvania grand jury has reported that the catholic church there protected more than

300 priests who were accused of abusing children over seven decades. yeah. and that's just in pennsylvania. all right? just in pennsylvania, like we are not even counting the rest of america and europe and africa. and i'm sorry, at some point i feel like we need to stop calling it a church and start calling it a molesting club with an opening prayer, because that is what it feels like. this is becoming so wide spread at this point confession is just going to be a two way confession between priests, forgive me, father, for have i sinned, forgive me father, for i have sinned. this shit never ends. moving on in other news it looks like the tsa from busting rule breakers to busting moves. >> something fun on a security line in an airport, if you can believe that, let's take a look at this. a boy tosses away a stuffed animal daring tsa officers to a dance offer while the family was

going through security at newark airport. >> trevor: i mean 30 people missed their flights but a-w-w-w. how could you miss grandpa's feunl ral, i know, i'm sorry, but you should have seen the kid, he was doing the thing. and can we all just agree that the kid is probably just a cover for his parents to sneak cocaine through suiter. okay, billy, go do the dancing. let's move on. to our top story. over the past few days omarosa has been dropping more tastes than lil' wayne in his praim but all the talk has been about the one take we haven't heard. >> tonight as we come on the air, the explosive allegations omarosa, she's now claiming she heard a recording of the president using the "n" word. >> magician pen gillette says he knows for a fact there are tapes of president saying-- he says he knows records exist because he was in the room when at least one incident happened. >> can you guarantee to the

american people they will never hear done all trump utter the "n" word on a recording in any context. >> i can't guarantee anything that but the president addressed this directly. i can tell you have i never heard it. >> trevor: you can't guarantee it i feel like this shubd the easiest question ever. and sarah huckabee sanders still can't answer it confidently. that's like your wife asking harold, can you guarantee me that i will never see an underwater sex tape with you and big foot. and you go look, honey, i can't guarantee anything. i do know that i love you though. the truth is, we don't know if there say tape. but that hasn't stopped everyone from having an opinion on the tape. >> let's say omarosa has these tapes. let's say the president used the "n" word, doesn't matter. >> it would be a bombshell for the president. >> absolutely nothing changes. >> it would be beyond devastating. >> i don't see his numbers changing. >> it might increase his support among the people who sport him.

>> is there anything that could come out that would change the situation. >> the only thing i could think of is him, a tape of 4eu78 using the "n" word over and over again, i think only one nrd word doesn't get us there. >> trevor: only one doesn't get us there, whoa, whoa, whoa, this guy is making it sound like if you use the n wrd once it doesn't count. you don't get a free trial with the n word, okay. it is racism, not a hulu. so to help us make sense of the n words controversy we will talk to n word expert roy wood, jr., everybody. (cheers and applause) roy, i would like it to know, what do you make of this whole n word tape scandal. >> trevor, i feel like we have come full circle here. because here i am today hoping donald trump didn't say the "n" word but i spent eight years hope og bama would. just one, i wanted him to go

look, state of the union,-- it would be even strong-- . >> i'm not going lie that would have been dope but for president trump if a recording came out of him using the "n" word, the full australia would be cat traffic. >> you think so. >> trevor: i think so. >> i got pie hands on some of the tapes of trump saying racist things, check it out. >> when mexico sensed its people, they're not sending their best, they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, that is con cluesive,. >> trevor: nothing exclusive, that was trump launching his campaign. >> how about this one. >> donald swrrks trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> trevor: roy, that was from another rally, these are all things that he said in public. >> that's my point, trevor. for a secret tape to prove frump is a raceist, he has been saying

shit like this if public forriers. it is obvious. i don't need foodage of the rock in the gym to know if he works out, it's clear. have you seen his arms? (applause) you have seen the rock's arms, they look like he curl kevin hart all day. one kevin, two kevin, three kevin. i done give a damn about what an n word tape what mean for dn ald trump, i care about what it would mean for folks. >> trevor: what do you mean. >> whenever trump crosses the line it only emboldens people wro follow him t only em bold epps people to follow him, he saiz nazi are fine people, they are blowing block party, he said the press self il, now everybody trying to pin slap wolf blitzer. the last thing we need is his supporters hearing him say the n wrd because then the flood gates open. we will have trump supporter using that word everywhere,

excuse me nigga can i tell but those special. >> niggas in group a, step right up. >> there is going to turn this world up side dowfnlt i guarantee you, the trump supporters will turn maga hats into naga hats, naga hats. >> trevor: nigga america great again, i don't think that works. >> you saying it wrong, you have to say it like this. nigga, america great again, that is how you say it. put a come-- comma, add a comma. >> trevor: now i'm relieved that the tape hasn't come out. >> don't get too kfer comfortable. wouldn't be surprise if trump n word in the speech before the tape gets leaked because if he smart, he will realize that when he says it in public he gets away with it, just like he did with mexicans and muslims. now all of a sudden the n words isn't racist, it's presidential.

>> trevor: that is a depressing thought, man. >> not depressing for you, i'm selling the hat, i got 10,000 ready to g16 a pop, but i will give you one for 14, cuz you my nigga. >> roy wood, jr., everyone. we'll be right back. ♪ even the very serious ronda rousey, ♪ (laughing) can't be serious with twizzlers. ♪ (laughing)

con artests are going back to scl. >> the trump administration will rescind obama era policy meant to protect students from abusive practices by for profit schools and colleges. today education secretary betsy de vos says she plans to fully repeal a rule that targeted scales that failed to prepare students for gainful employment. and now argue the rule wasn't backed up by research and created burdensome reporting requirements. >> trevor: how can people be this evil? like it's bad enough that there are scam schools that take students' money and don't teach them properly but now trump will subsidize those scam schools with taxpayer money. like it feels like there is nothing this administration won't deregulate. and i wouldn't be surprise if trump eventually deregulates email scams. just all these nigerian-- i can't find any, trump stole my money, what have you done for me, huh?

and now, a lot of people may think that the new regulation may have adverse affects on america's future. luckily the trump administration has a new program to help you and your children understand. >> so it it is time for deregulation. >> hi, kids. this is your flippity skippity friend the conductor. i am here with a special guest today, ronny chieng. >> whatever, let's hurry up and get out of here. >> we're in the here to learn about friendship. we're going to learn about something much better. deregulation. it's when we are remove those bad rules so that corporations can maximize their profits. and thanks to president trump, deregulation is the word of the day. >> maximize corporate profits. what kind of kid show is this,

>> i have been feeling it the last three weeks, on this press tour and it's crazy. they actually are spending money on it within which is amazing. >> they set up three teams, each of us hit like three different cities. and the reaction from each city is amazing. you got the really heavy asian pop lated cities like say boston, new york. we expect aid good turnout from them but then they went to ike dallas and people were-- i barely saw any asian people in the audience, white people, black people t is such a universally fun movie to watch. >> right. >> that i'm just so grateful to see everybody enjoying it. >> it is really doing well trk has like 94% on roten tomatoes, everyone is enjoying the cultural significants of it. >> ronny chieng was also in the movie and when he came to tell me they wanted him in the movie, he was like hey, man, i might need to leave the show for a few months to do this movie. i think it might be a little bit big for the asian community and he thought it would be a little

indy, and i saw it came out and it was major, this is huge. it really is, because for 25 years we have not seen a hollywood movie with a full asian cast, that say pretty big deal. >> since joy luck club and i think going in ronny probably wasn't understanding. because we didn't know, we intellectualized it, like we understood it is important t is not statisticically 25 years first studio movie but we didn't feel how special until we got to singapore, when you got like the most beautiful, talented, funniest asian people from all over the world, you got asian americans, asian british, asian australian, from every where you know, ronny, asian malaysia. >> which sound as maizing, byes way, asian malaysian. >> asian malaysian, i will start calling him in the office and i will get a lawsuit. the movie is also great, that is what i enjoy, often when people talk about die virts, they make it sound like a charity, when black panthers was happening people were talking about how

the set felt different, it was a new experience. >> there was some kind of magic. we all just hang out, eating dinner, i didn't have to explain, let's go to a chinese restaurant, it's like authentic, not that exotic, you can handle it. you know, we were all on the same page, we all love the same kind of food. we all sang karaoke. >> it was great. >> you haven't lived until you see ronny chieng sing back street boys, st a amazing. >> are you have ammunition on reasony chieng. let's talk about the book as well. because i love how your book talks about your journey in america. how to american, an immigrant's guide to disappointing your parents. it really is a universal story that is all about yourself becoming an american citizen and the journey that you went on. why do you think it's really been as difficult as it has been for you. >> the difference, the deficit in duality, being an american but then also being asian and

staying true to your roots. >> i moved here when i was 13 from hong kong. 13 is probably a tough age for anyone finding themselves but i as in a new country with a new language. i couldn't speak english very well. and also one of the hardest times for just making friends in school was dealing with the pressure from your parents and expectations of growing up asian, right. and they value obedience. they value finding a real job, right. >> which 50eu78's obviously not doing right now. but in american culture it is complete opposite. we value independence and we value pursuing a dreams, whereas my dad, ever since i was little told me pursuing your dreams is how you become homeless. (laughter) so how do you, which one do i pick. and how do i go about doing this when i started doing standup my dad thought i was crazy. he dun know what standup was. >> we never watched standup in hong kong, you know.

it was like a cultural experience. >> i condition imagine. >> it wasn't just jokes, it was like about culture. like when they were talking about white people this, black people that, i didn't know any of those ster why types. >> trevor: right. >> but that was broad strokes of america that i learned by watching these comedians which in a way is culture terls, that is why doing standup, my dad still today calls it a talk show. which i guess i'm doing now so it's fine. i am actually doing a talk show. >> trevor: you have a great story, congratulations on the film. how to do american, and crazy rich asians, we'll be rate back. do not play fetch. sfx: dog bark thanks grandma. why don't you fetch me some doritos.
