[ cheers and applause ] that's our show! i'm jim jefferies. i think we can all do better. goodnight. ♪ [ cheers and applause ]

>> 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," everybody! thank you so much for tuning in, i'm trevor noah! our guest tonight is one of everybody's favorites, melissa mccarthy is here, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) so exciting! she's getting oscar buzz for her new movie called "can you ever forgive me?." so we'll be talking about that. but first, let's catch up on some of today's headlines. climate change, sometimes it feels so hopeless, all you want to do is get drunk and forget about it. well, sadly, that won't be an option because of climate

change. >> "usa today" reports on a study that says global warming could threaten the world's beer supply. researchers from u.c. irvine and other institutions says the production of barley is likely to drop substantially because of droughts and extremism heat. barley is a key ingredient in beer, that means average beer prices -- get this -- could double. >> trevor: they're trying so hard to get people to care about climate change. ( laughter ) if you tell americans in ten years the marshall islands will be underquarter, no one cares, but tell them the beer is endangered, they will march in the streets! let's see how his new supreme court justice feels about that now! double the price?! double the price?! ( cheers and applause ) and i'm not going to lie, i like this new approach. i think climate change is so big that what scientists need to do is find out things people likely care about. you should go, like, rising temperatures are going to block

wi-fi signals, or rising temperatures are going to make men's erections softer. every man will say, no more coal! in other news, anyone who knows me knows i'm crazy about budgets. if you find me at a party, best believe we're talking federal expenditures for that fiscal year, which is probably why you won't find me at a party. you know i was turnt when i heard today's news. >> the federal subject surged to $779 billion this year, a $113 billion increase from the previous 12 months. lower federal tax revenue and higher government spending under president trump contributed to the budget shortfall. the treasury department expects the deficit to top $1 trillion in the 2019 fiscal year. >> trevor: yeah! we did it!

they said it couldn't be done but we did it! a trillion-dollar deficit! that's what happens when you open a check-cashing place in the capital! america is in so much debt i'm waiting for china to pull up and tow a state away. you didn't pay, we're repoing this, man! ( laughter ) seriously bad news for trump and the government -- they're going to have to come up with ways to fix their finances. like instead of a wall, they can only afford to put an adt sign at the border. ( laughter ) moving on to our main story. saudi arabia. for years, they have been known as the superconservative country where women can't drive, gay people get flogged and thieves have their hands chopped off. for the teffs, they can't say they're warned. saudi arabia literally has a sword on the flag. you know. it would be like if the n.f.l. made its logo a sad brain. in a way, you respect them for their honest. ( audience reacts ) last year, saudi arabia got a

new leader, crown prince mohammed bin salman, ombs for sure. many were hoping he would transform saudi arabia into a more progressive nation. seemed like saudi arabia was changing, then this happened. >> the mysterious disappearance that prompted an outcry around the world. >> this is the last time saudi journalist and "the washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi was seen alive, entering the saudi consulate in istanbul last week. what happened next is a mystery. a critic of mohammed bin salman told bbc three weeks before he went miss heg knew he made powerful enemies. >> trevor: a man known for criticizing the saudi government was seen entering the saudi cops lat and never seen again. i'm not a detective, but, yeah, even though it seems obvious what happened, the saudi government claimed khashoggi

left its consulate if one piece through the back door, and there is no foonlt of him leaving because their cameras don't store fajt, which sounds like a crazy excuse to me because what kind of security cameras don't store footage? you see, our system was designed by snapchat. the picture goes away very quickly. adorable. likely wonderful. ( laughter ) according to the saudi government, this journalist is not dead, just hanging out in malaysia with tupac. but the turkish government came out and calling b.s. >> turkish officials are paint ago grizzly plot. they say 15 assassins, effectively, saudi officials arrived on two chartered planes, they killed him won the hours of his arrival, they took the body out in a convoy of vehicles including a black van. >> trevor: holy shit, 15 assassins, private planes and a black van. this doesn't sound like real life. sounds like the opening of a

james bond movie. all that's interesting is idris alba chasing them in a helicopter. he will be the next bond. if you say it, it will happen. it's called "the secret"! ( cheers and applause ) so it's looking more and more like saudi arabia had khashoggi killed, and this isn't just a big deal for turkey and saudi arabia. this is an american problem, too, because khashoggi is an american resident who writes for "the washington post," and it would be hard for america to continue to be friends with a country who assassinates journalists. president trump was asked to get to the bottom of what happened. >> i just spoke with the king of saudi arabia, who denies any knowledge of what took place. the king firmly denied any knowledge of it. he didn't really know. maybe -- i don't want to get into his mind, but it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows. we're going to try getting to

the bottom of it soon, but his was a flat denial. >> trevor: wait, what? did you just say it could be rogue killers? like, how does trump always find a way to introduce random suspects into the most obvious crimes? because you realize he does this every time, right? like the saudis are in the car -- pain it was rogue killers! when it was russia, he said maybe it was russia or the hack was a 400-pound guy in a basement. ( laughter ) i would hate to play clue with trump. would have been colonel mustard or the shoe from monopoly, folks. no one knows. either way, case closed. ( laughter ) one of the reasons president trump might be so eager to believe the saudi arabians is because they've promised him they will buy over $100 billion in u.s. weapons with. so this is a relationship both sides want to maintain, which is why saudi arabia is preparing to release their latest excuse. >> saudi arabia is getting ready to change its story about the disappearance of a "the

washington post" columnist in turkey. the saudis are now willing to say khashoggi was captured inside their consulate in istanbul and died during interrogation. >> saudi leaders are preparing to admit to the accidental killing of jamal khashoggi, despite denying they harmed him or even knew of his whereabouts since his disappearance. >> trevor: i don't know whether to be horrified or impressed. this is diabolical. the saudi government is testing their excuse before officially using it? they're, like, we never saw this man -- but what would you say if we said we did see him, but we killed him by mistake, huh? well, you would be punished. well, then in that case, we never saw him. for more on this evolving story, we turn to our own michael kosta, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) i'm sorry, man, every day, this story gets more and more

confusing. >> yeah, well, maybe for you, trevor, but i'm a bit of an expert of saudi arabia. i saw two-thirds of alladden on broadway then the asshole usher asked me if i had a ticket. the point is people shouldn't be offended saudi arabia is testing their excuse. americans should be honored. >> trevor: but why, michael? if they're testing excuses, it clearly means that they're lying. >> trevor, countries lie to us all the time. do you really think there's a finland? grow up. ( laughter ) so many countries lie to us, but saudi arabia respects us enough to find a lie that works for both of us. it's fibbed for our pleasure, if you will. >> trevor: but why would america want to believe a story if it's obviously a lie? >> that way, it saves our relationship. if we found out our middle eastern bestie murdered a journalist we might have to stop selling them billions of dollars in arms. but if we both decide to agree he fell in a volcano inside the consulate, well, then, bring

your punch card saudi arabia, because it's buy nine missiles, get the tenth one free ( laughter ) >> trevor: no matter how good a lie sounds, i don't think people can accept it when they know it's a lie. do you really think this can work? >> it works, trevor. i already started using it. last week when i told my nephew i would take him fishing, i never showed up. obviously, i'm not going to tell him i spent our fishing sunday getting test ford hpv -- positive, by the way -- so instead of coming up with my own lie, i went the saudi way and let him pick my lie. i said, billy, i'll considering telling you my asshole boss is making me work weekends or i died. do either of those work pore you? do those make him feel respected? >> the more important thing is he stopped calling me. >> trevor: michael kosta,

ryou can duo anything. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." many people don't know this, but black history can happen at any time of the year. ( laughter ) so, we turn again to roy wood, jr. and another episode of c.p. time. ♪ ♪ >> ah, welcome to c.p. time. the only show that's for the culture. today is the 50-year anniversary of track star's john carlos and thomas smith's historic protest for equal rights at the 1968 olympics. not only did they take a brave stand, they made it stylish for black people to wear gloves. shaft criming gloves, michael jackson dancing gloves. it was a trend that lasted all the way to 1995 when o.j.

simpson single-handed by killed with them -- allegedly. ( laughter ) fact is, black athletes have often been our most prominent protesters because they've had such a big audience. since sports is the only time white people stare at black people without the cops getting called. one of the first recorded black athlete protests was in the early 1900s by boxer jack johnson who boldly opposed racism by punching white women in the face and dating white women. a trail blazer indeed. sadly, many black athlete protesters don't get the recognition they deserve. for example, we may remember carlos and smith, but at the very next summer, olympic track star cane colette protest bid having a casual conversation during the national anthem, chatting in line like they were at 7-eleven. what are you in line for? justice!

that's cool, i was just reading reese's pieces. we all know lebron james fought for "black lives matter," but in 2016 the entire n.b.a. indiana fever people took a knee before a playoff game to protest police brutality. the fever lost that game and i lost $400 betting on them. i know what i owe you, ricky! stop getting my kids involved in this. you will get your money. ( laughter ) and we all hear about collin kaepernick and his protests, but not everyone remembers n.b.a. player mahmoud abdul raoof who refused to stand during the anthem to protest injustice against muslims. his protest opened the door for people like kaepernick to not uponly do it kneel but do it even blacker while sporting the afro and corn rows, which according to scientists are two of the blackest hairstyles on earth. only the geri curl rains

supreme. sadly, black athletes usually pay a price for their political protests. wain colette was suspended for the rest of the olympic games. mahmoud abdul rauf suspend bid the n.b.a., and collin kaepernick lost his job and was blackballed by the n.f.l. even worse for collin, he was punished by nike with a big-ass endorsement deal. and you might not think getting millions of dollars is a punishment. it isn't until you start having aunts and overing also coming out of the woodwork asking you for money. one time i found a $50 bill on the street, by the end of the day, i had six new aunts. the whole thing cost me $200. you can't divide that by six. that's all the time we have for today. i'm roy wood, jr. and this has been c.p. time. and remember, we're for the culture. hey, colin, this is your uncle roy. can i bore owe $400? there's a lone shark he's not

( applause ) and genuine lynn, this film -- genuinely, this film is getting oscar buzz.

you're playing a character you've never played before. >> no, lee israel is a main character. she was a real person. she's a difficult, prickly, challenging writer who suddenly was told she's obsolete and was no longer allowed to write, kind of got backed into a corner and started forging and impersonating literary letters of greats, of dorothy parker, duke howard and then was caught by the f.b.i. so it's the first time with her. but i likely kind of loved her. >> trevor: that's an interesting idea because, when you watch this character and when you watch this movie, the whole movie i was waiting to like her. and you have this woman who is described by many people as prickly or, you know, hard or -- but when you see, like, a lot of male characters play the same thing, people are, like, driven -- >> he won't back down, his convictioned. >> trevor: right. >> and he's like, oh, she's

unbearable. i think that happens all the time it's almost cliche, it's, like, so many people still kind of make that reference of, why would you want to play someone unlikable? i'm, like, because we're all unlikable at times. all the people you love, you love because of their weird eccentricities and quirks and ticks, and we all have them. so to try to play someone without all those things, i wouldn't know how to do it. >> trevor: you started creating what you want which is what i appreciate as well because you're part of creating the movies and writing the movies with your husband. >> it's the fun of it. >> trevor: right. >> the really great thing is we ended up one weekend working together. i mean, i met my husband ben at the theater in l.a. and we met writing and we are forming and it's why i kind of like him. i shouldn't have qualified it. i like you a lot, honey.

( laughter ) that's the one time i couldn't find the camera. it still seems sincere. that's why we met. that's the joy of it. i want to be part of all of it. i want the workload, the fun of it, the challenge, the nerves, i want everything. i think the whole thing is part of the joy of what, you know, we get to do. >> trevor: it truly was a joy watching you in this film as well. if somebody goes into the film and they're expecting to see the melissa mccarthy they know from everywhere else and see you in this, what's the one thing you would want them to take away from your character? there are so many layers and shells that people have, what is the one thing you hope people don't miss about your character? >> well, i think i took away quite a bit from lee and, for me, at least, and i hope other people get this, too, it's, like, look up and actually see people. i think there are so many people we pass that almost become invisible to us and everybody at some point needs to be seen. even if it's for a second, if

it's for a second on the street, you actually can make eye contact with someone and that person feels like i am here, someone saw me, that will snowball and then they'll look at somebody else and we tend to all be so concentrated on our phones and devices that -- i'm not. i'm a dinosaur. i don't email. i don't do any of that. it frustrates many people. >> trevor: dinosaurs are always looking at the people. >> right, look up. since i'm not on my device, i usually am sitting in a room watching people all do this, and no one's looking at each other and i'm like, oh, my god, you have to connect with people. lee made me very much realize how much lonely and isolated she was and when she meets jack, richard e. grant, who's tremendous in the film, they're very unlikely friends but they both just needed somebody to see them. >> trevor: that's so

beautiful. thank you so much for being on the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: good luck with the oscars. i'm excited for you.
