oh, hey, what is this? (pam) hilary swank. oh, she's hot. yeah! damn it. >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: hey! hey! whoa! welcome to "the daily show," everybody! thank you so much for tuning in! i'm trevor noah! our guest tonight is a fantastic actor, amandla stenberg is here, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) joining us on the show. you probably first saw her in "the hunger games" and today

she's here with her new movie "the hate u give." a fantastic film. first, let's catch up on today's headlines. hillary clinton is back in the mix. she's stumping for candidates, going on a national tour with bill, although, if she keeps having interviews like this one from yesterday, she's probably going to want to go back into the woods. >> a new interview with hillary clinton is getting a lot of attention for what she is now saying about her husband's affair with monica lewinsky. >> in retrospect, do you think bill should have resigned in the wage of the monica lewinsky scandal. >> absolutely not. >> it wasn't an abuse of power? >> no. >> there are people who look at the incidents of the '90s and say a president of the united states cannot have a consensual relationship with an intern, the power imbalance is too great. >> she was an adult. let me ask you this, where is the investigation of the current incumbent? >> trevor: no, hillary!

( laughter ) sorry, man. maybe it was different in the '90s, but i think we're all understanding there is a massive power imbalance between an intern and the president of the united states. forget intern, the president with anyone is a power imbalance. if president obama texted me, hey, trevor, you up? i would have to let him smash, yeah. and he would be, like, actually i just want to know if you're watching the game. i would be, like, oh, i knew that. of course, i did, yeah. and hillary is trying to deflect and make this about trump. you're not in a position to throw stones especially when you're literally sitting in glass house. ( laughter ) another awkward story about the past. america is having a big fight over historic statues. do you tear them down, leave them up? someone in georgia came up with a third option. >> a prank in georgia is not going over well with police. someone put googly eyes on a statue of nathaniel green in savannah, a general from the american revolutionnary war.

police posted a post on facebook saying harming historic monuments is no laughing matter. as a matter of fact, it's a crime. ( laughter ) well played! you know what's so funny is that's how he would look if he were alive today. he would be, like, is that a black lawyer?! and this is one of those stories news coverage doesn't help. if you want to find a murderer, get his mug shot on the news. but if you want to stop people from putting googly eyes on statutes, don't show them how funny it is. ( laughter ) because until i saw that story, that thought never crossed my mind. i thought, hu! what if we also had a mustache? yes! ( laughter ) finally, one of the things that makes america so great is the fright to free speech. although if trump and his people have their way, there will be speech, just won't be free. >> the trump administration is hoping to limit protests at the white house and the national mall by charging fees for dismon

demonstrations. the. >> the national park service is considering proposals to consider how it handles protests at washington, whether the protesters should reimburse the agency for the security it provides. >> trevor: this is other trump trying to clamp down on dissent or a brilliant plan to pay for the wall. one of the two. like now he's going to say crazy shit to get everyone mad and charge everyone when they come to protest. he will be sitting outside the white house with a credit card machine. people will be like, resist! $4.99, thank you. resist! $4.99. dump trump! rhyming packages extra, $5.99. thank you so much! i appreciate you! ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: let's move on to the top story. the 2018 midterm elections are three weeks away. means it's time to focus on the

2020 election. the same way america starts christmas before halloween is even over. at that time they will combine them and have baby jesus dressed like a ghost to speed everything up. ( laughter ) with the 2020 elections coming up, everyone wants to know who will go against trump. elizabeth warren is among the running. smart and scandal free. though one issue plagued her for years, her claim she has native native american ancestry. because she has never had proof, it's the one thing president trump brought up time and time again. >> elizabeth warren sometimes referred to affectionately, of course, as pocahontas. i've got more indian blood in me than pocahontas and i have none. the legendary pocahontas. >> poke hanlts. >> pocahontas. >> pocahontas. >> we have a representative in

congress who with they say was here a long time ago. they call her pocahontas, but, you know what? i like you. >> trevor: yeah, yeah, i like you. you're one of the good ones. trump was so obsessed with trashing elizabeth warren that he interrupted a ceremony honoring native american war veterans just to throw shade at her. that's new levels of low. that would be like if you were speaking at and decided to use the eulogy to throw shots at people in the crowd. we're here to say goodbye to our friend d like i had h to say goodbye to my lawnmower after gerald never brought it back! >> the "boston globe" reports democratic senator elizabeth warren released dna results that shows her great great great grandmother was at least

partially native american. the test provides strong americans she had a native american in her tree six to eight generations ago. >> trevor: dna snap twist! elizabeth warren can say she's very part native american. she's anything from 0.1% to 1.6% native american. yeah, like it could be that a native american sneezed on someone in her family at some point. but still, it's enough for her to shove in president trump's face, and she is shoving it. >> hello. >> hi, this is elizabeth warren. is dr. bustamante in, please? the president likes to call my mom a liar. what do the facts say? >> the facts suggest you absolutely have a native american ancestry in your pedigree. >> okay. >> trevor: okay. okay. okay. okay. ( laughter ) you know, one thing about staged

videos is how everyone tries to act like it's not staged. she's, like, hello, news elizabeth warren, is this dr. -- you know he h's there! your camera crew is there! omigod! i can't believe you're here! even though we rehearsed it three times! usually this is the end. but with trump there's more. this time it's a certain pledge he made at a campaign rally last summer. >> let's say i'm debating pocahontas, right? i promise you i'll do the h, i will take -- you know the little kits they sell on television for $2? learn your heritage! and we will say i will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity paid for by trump if you take the test and it shows you're an indian, you know. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: yeah, that sounds

like trump, right? only give to charity to win a bet, yeah, like a homeless man would be like, please, sir, i'm hungry. okay, if you beat me to the corner, i'll buy your lunch! because the president spent the last two years calling elizabeth warren pocahontas, today the press asked him if he would put his money where his cute butt hole mouth is and pay up. this is what he said. >> your reaction to elizabeth warren releasing her dna test? >> who cares. >> you said you would give $1 million to charity. >> i didn't see that. you better read it again. >> trevor: no, no, no, trump can't suddenly say he doesn't care. you care! you have been obsessed about it for years. that's like the kool-aid man saying i don't actually care about kool-aid! no, you jumped through my ( bleep ) cal because you were

excited i was maybe going to drink kool-aid. now we have to call a contractor to fix this shit! oh, we are drinking kool-aid, my friend! ( cheers and applause ) but you heard trump, you heard trump. now he's flipped. even though elizabeth warren took the test, now he says he's not going to bay the million dollars. so, basically, this white man made a promise to senator warren then went back on what he said, so i guess she really the native american after all! we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) the meeting of the executive finance committee is now in session. and... adjourned. business loans for eligible card members up to fifty thousand dollars, decided in as little as 60 seconds. the powerful backing of american express. don't do business without it.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." so let's talk about white ladies. ( laughter ) there is a lot of things they love -- bottomless him mo is as, being on their friends' boat and pumpkin spice anything. but this year's biggest trend is calling 911 on black people. >> a scenario that's all too common where a minor incident results in a white person calling the police on a black person. in this kiss a nine-year-old black child was accused of sexually assaulting a white woman at a brooklyn deli. she was immediately given a nickname. >> there are officers down the block. >> corner store carolyn. >> trevor: corner store carolyn. i love black people are giving white ladies a nickname on the spot. it's almost instant. it's like black people are thinking of names for white

ladies they see. bathroom betty. rooftop rachel, hope she calls the cops, i can use that one! ( laughter ) corner store carolyn joins a battery of white women who called cops on black people. just like them, corner store caroline was not going to get lte anyone talk her out of calling the cops. >> no, i want the cops here right now. they're videotaping. ( audience reacts ) >> trevor: first of all, good "goodbye 911 operator?" white ladies call 911 so much they talk to them like they're dating? oh, 911 operator, you manage up.

no, you hang up. okay, on three. one, two, three. are you still there? oh, me, too! i love you, 911 operator! and you know a white lady is going too far when other white women are trying to stop her. >> go away! what is your problem? ( applause ) ( laughter ) >> trevor: so wait, now white ladies are using the terrell white lady as an insult? you cut me off, white lady! hey! who are you calling a white lady, why did lady? you're about to get a face full of rosé! oh, yeah? what year? 2013! i love that year! me, too! oh, my god, me, too! i totally love that year! i love it, too! kudos for the woman stepping up.

that's an ally. here's the thing, if you're an adult and a #-year-old kid grans grabs your ass, you don't call the cops, okay, it's a kid. kids grab things all the time. i have been in the subway and felt a crab and i looked down and it was a kid holding on to my leg. i picked him up, told his mom he chose me and i took him home. you don't call the cops! ( laughter ) and here's the thing, even if we never knew what really happened, she was in the wrong, in my opinion, except we do know what happened because there's a video and turns out that kid wasn't grabbing anything. >> the store surveillance video tells a different story, clearly showing the boy's backpack accidentally brushed against klein. >> it was a brush by a back pack not a sexual assault by a 9-year-old. those two things would be easy

to tell apart unless this was the kid's park back, then i would understand. ( laughter ) and, honest, we can joke but it's hard to watch the story and not be reminded of emmett till in 1955. false allegation by a white lady against a black child. two days later, corner store clough carolyn went back to the same store and somehow the whole hood was there waiting for her. >> in brooklyn, last night a dramatic scene. klein returned to the store and reviewed the footage taunted by a crowd. ( yelling ) >> trevor: you can put that on worldstar! we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) there has seriously never been

stars in the cretically acclaimed new movie, "the hate u give." >> so if i think i see a gun, i don't hesitate. i shoot. >> because you think you see a gun, you don't say something first, like put your hands up? >> it depends. is it night? can i see? am i on d duty alone? >> what if you were in a white neighborhood and it was a white man wearing a suit, driving a mercedes? he could be a drug dealer, right? >> he could. >> so if you saw him reach into the window, and you thought that you saw a gun, would you shoot him? or would you say, put your hands up? >> trevor: please welcome amandla stenberg! ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: welcome to the show. >> thank you! >> trevor: and congratulations on a stellar film that is

touching people, it's inspiring people. i mean, i saw people cry in the cinema at the end of the film because it really is gripping. for those who haven't seen the trailers, i won't spoil it, i'll tell you the plot. a young girl played by yourself is friends with a young boy who gets shot at a police stop, a story we're all too familiar with, and that's really just the beginning of the story. before we get into the story itself, i have to ask, is there a difficulty that comes with playing a character or telling a story about something that's happening now all the time? >> yeah, i mean, i think there was kind of a deeper sense of responsibility with the way at the we approached it in knowing that we had to reflect events that were real and so we had to commit ourselves as fully as we could to it in order to honor the lives of those who have been affected by things like this. >> trevor: right. and we watch the story unfold, and a lot of the time it feels like, you know, you watch in the

news and they go, a black boy was shot by -- and names become secondary, and that's why so many people say, "say their names. but what we with also forget is all the other people emotionally shot, all the families. >> it's a tool of emp think. oftentimes we see these events portrayed on the news or in the media and they're misconstrued or postulated so they don't fully humanize the people who were killed and affected by these events. so this is supposed to ground it in a personal narrative and hopefully people will have a sense of empathy because of that. so far, it's been really successful. we have a lot of white people crying after, which is great. ( laughter ) i've never seen so many white people crying before. like, it's amazing. >> trevor: that should be the new rotten tomatoes, a little thing, white people crying score. >> exactly. >> trevor: i understand why so many cry. your character plays an

interesting role where she grows up in what many people call the hood, but she gets to go to a privileged school that is predominantly white, and lives in this h world where she code switches all the time. she's got her white and black friends and lives between two worlds. what happens is her friend who's black gets shot, and now she's stuck choosing between these two worlds. >> right. >> trevor: it's a really interesting dilemma. i wondered, as a person, was there anything in your life that you drew from and connected with when it came to that? >> definitely. i'm pretty sure if you are black and living a contemporary black experience, you probably have code switched at some point in time or are actively code switching in your everyday life. >> your character says if i testify or speak out against the cop, i will be seen as anti-cop by my white friends. on the other side, if i testify, people see me as a switch. >> she's walking a difficult

line but comes to the conclusion at the end of the day she can no longer compromise who she is and she needs to stand up for her community and be her most authentic self and she'll no longer put on her white voice and those faces. >> looking at the film, at the response it's gotten, what the would you say your greatest hope and success would have been, beyond the white people crying? when people watch "the hate u give," what do you want them to walk away with because i know everyone has a slightly different feeling. >> white people crying actually was the goal. ( laughter ) ( applause ) we wanted to make sure that, you know, those who, you know, have been affected by the way in which the media misconstrues these events actually have a real sense of empathy and are able to place themselves into the shoes offour communities and understand that these are not just news events, these are happening to real people. they affect us in really deep and pervasive ways and then in

terms of how it affects people of color, we wanted this to be a space within which we could be ourselves and see ourselves represented and feel validated by that and maybe process some feelings that we don't ever have the opportunity to move through. >> trevor: it's a powerful story, i think you've done all those things and more. thank you for being on the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: "the hate u give" in theaters nationwide october 19. amandla stenberg, everybody. we'll be right back! cheers. ♪ i see it all the time. your friends invite you out, and you're always busy. eventually they invite someone else. like me, jean-claude van damme. do you really want jean-claude van damme hanging out with your friends? taking selfies,
