captioning sponsored by comedy central from comedy central headquarters in new york, the daily show is trevor noah, 2018 again, america. [cheers and applause] >> trevor: welcome to the daily show. i'm trevor noah and we are live. let's get into it. take a seat. take a seat.

did i say we're live, i mean we are live. anything can go wrong, anything can happen. i can say anything they can't edit it out. scoobity-bop-jaba-blap. how about that. i don't know about you but i was nervous today. the whole day updating social media waiting to hear the results but now the votes are in and it's official, idris elba sexiest person alive. oh man. else so worried he would lose the vote. there was another vote that had me worried today. yes, the mid terms. the day when voters were officially going to decide, is america racist or is it openly racist. right now some people are like it's racist, why don't you go back to south africa because it's also racist, that's why i like it here it reminds me of

home. it was touch and go for a while today. the blue wave was looking like a smurf and what was worse that the results just wouldn't come in. the whole day. like the last few hours it's just been too close to call, too early to call. we texted america u up and all we could see is that little typing bubble. just tell me, america, do you want a smack or not. but after a night sponsored by pepto bismol it's official, the democrats have taken the house. [crowd cheering] okay, okay. wow, you guys are almost as he can siets --excited as rachel m.

she melted into a pile of i voted stickers. before we get to the results please welcome my guest roy wood, jr., everybody. i only have one question for you, did you vote. >> oh yeah, man, about five, six times, man. >> trevor: i don't think that's how it's supposed to work but i appreciate your enthusiasm. we'll be checking in with roy but we have votes still coming in but there are some things we do know for certain, right. this has been a night of firsts. in colorado has made history as the first openly gay man. why has it taken that that means, colorado, all you are now gay. i don't make the rules so congratulations.

also -- [crowd cheering] elect to congress. and also for the first time, the first two native american women. yes. congratulations -- [crowd cheering] elected to congress. that is really exciting when you see what's happening. no, we're not talking about you elizabeth warren, shoo. so manshooso many firsts. two first muslim women and two american native women. only one can be first. you can't have two firsts at the same time. you can't have a double first. >> what are you saying someone has to decide who is first. >> trevor: you have to have like a second. somebody tus has been buzz aldrin. you can't have two neal arm strongs.

>> the first man on the moon. >> trevor: it was like they were going to july together at the same time -- jump together at the same time. if we found out that was the plan and then neal is like your shoes are on fire and one small step for man. who goes first it doesn't matter. in texas it's being reported that ted cruz has owe fernally defeated beto o'rourke. look, i mean beyonce did enforce beto so -- endorsed beto. this guy has been re-elected now so we have to start showing him some respect. so tonight no jokes about ted cruz so congratulations well done senator ted cruz. now you may be surprised that ted cruz won the popularity contest but we went to texas earlier today and you could tell that the vote wasn't going to be as one-sided as you'd think. >> people are saying that the

media's biased for beto o'rourke. that's ridiculous, right. >> ridiculous. >> what do you love about him now. >> i love everything about him. >> what do you find most tremely about him. >> i don't think he's dreamily, i guess. i feel like he's just a normal guy. >> yes, i love normal men. i love the way he speaks to everyone. the fact that we need to put party aside and work together. we want to come together. >> yes. yes. >> is it always this hot in texas? >> yes, it is. >> i voted for ted cruz. >> you like ted cruz. >> i do like ted cruz. >> i'm sorry i think you misheard me i said ted cruz. >> yes, i heard you. >> who did you vote for today. >> ted cruz. >> he's the kind of guy you could sit down and spit out a beer with. >> i suppose. i don't drink beer but yeah. >> i think the media's biased. >> totally agree. there's no room to be biased.

>> trevor: all right everybody, thank you so much. [crowd cheering] so tonight is a big night. we have most of the results that matter and for more on tonight's election results let's turn back to my man at the desk, give it up one more time. it looks like the democrats have retaken the house so now the question is what does this mean for america's future. >> the future? the future's already started. now that the democrats have the house america has descended into a socialist chaos just like trump said it would. the worst is venezuela with white people. all the socialism but none of the rhythm. >> trevor: look i don' man i dot know if i would trust what trump said. he said the republicans would keep the house. so this has got to be a tough

loss for him. >> tough loss are you kidding me, this is a great night for donald trump. he's sitting back celebrating with a big juicy cheeseburger and some ice cream. that's the fourth scoop sauce tonight. trevor the a la mode is for a special occasion. >> trevor: why would trump be celebrating. the republicans lost the house. how is this a good night. >> because when all his policies go wrong he has someone to blame. stock market dropping blame the democrats. heard by trade, blame nancy pelosi. even the little stuff he could blame the democrats. oh the couch is getting repo sellsed and more than hub is done, that's on you maxine waters. you see now trump has the scapegoat. everybody loves the scapegoat. i love to blame everything on my dog. track mud in the house, it's the

dog. if i let a part slip out i -- fart slip out i make sure i'm next to the dog. if i leave my dog in the cower -- >> trevor: dogs can't drive. so you think donald trump was the real winner tonight. >> hell no, i'm just messing around. democrats spanked that as like they were stormy da daniels ande was like donald trump. [crowd cheering] >> trevor: so the democrats road a wave of enthusiasm to retake the house but as we set earlier the wave was less -- and more -- and one of the reasons it was so tight the lack of enthusiasm in some of the most important voting districts. so earlier we sent michael kosta to find out more. >> thanks trevor. i'm here in california's 48th district which is a critical house race but like me there's a shit ton of people here who

won't be voting and we all have our reasons. why aren't you voting today. >> i don't have the time. >> right takes time. not like there's a polling place right behind you that you could vote right now. did you vote today or did you plan on voting today. >> no. >> why? >> i'm just kind of too lazy. i got a lot of things i'm procrass noting about and it didn't make the list. >> so you have a list that you will later put off. >> i'm not voting. >> tell me why. >> i'm not interested you would say. >> have you voted in previous elections. >> no. i'm not registered. >> is there something you have voted in in the past. >> american idol. >> are you planning on voting this election. >> i'm not. politicians don't serve. they're not out there they don't have the same connection surfers have with our oagz and environment. >> in politicians surfed would that change things. >> it may. special things happen and

there's a lot of magical thing that the ocean has to offer even more than you know. >> are you on drugs right now maddy. >> no. i don't do drugs. the ocean is my drug. >> are you happy with the current political environment that we have? >> i don't know enough to answer that. >> you don't know enough to answer that. you don't feel like it's attacking you and your life. >> i just feel like enough people don't care. i feel like more people should care. >> by more people you mean you. >> yeah, i guess so. >> so there you have it trevor, despite living in a swing trix can the people in california's 48 has a very clear message and that message is ha. >> trevor: michael everyone. thank you so much michael. thank you the daily show is live and we'll be back right after this with more coverage of america. america.

>> trevor: welcome back to the daily show live election night coverage. there are results coming in from all over the country. news from new york where we are, andrew cuomo was elected to his third term as governor of new york. unfortunately he cannot make it to the victory party because the subway is stuck. let's move into more results. i'm going to keep coming in from around the country. we're going into some analysis how it all went down. that's low to ronny chieng. ronny, what are you watching tonight? >> what am i watching? that the network sucks trevor that's what i'm watching. every channel the same thing some guy zooming in breaking it down with deep analysis from congressional districts. in california 49 i expect it to go blue blah blah blah. boring. that's not deep. i'll go so deep i'm going to end up back in malaysia.

analysis that's pathetic. neighborhoods block by block. if that's as deep as you can go good for you must feel good about yourself. but i'm going all the way in trevor, focusing on one guy in california on suicide drive. this whole midterm election comes down to that. let's go down to the broken cameras i hidden installed last week. i'm going to go here and say here's our typical sensitive liberal. let's get more intel from the medicine cabinet. obviously this is a huge loser but we still don't know how he voted and i don't want to do this but oh carl. how did you vote for you gassy incestuous loser. >> trevor: ronny chieng. ronny we're good. thank you. thank you for that analysis. that was very deep and very unethical.

now there isment much much unpacked from these races but unfortunately we only have until 11mented 30 before comedy central cuts us off for a rerun of futurerama. to get some political analysis we turn to our own experts jib-bootie white young and dulce sloan, everybody. thank you for joining us. we don't have a lot of time so i have to ask you to give your election analysis at the same time so to start what do you both think about the state of the race tonight? >> thanks trevor. let's talk about the house -- actually crazy story. he once handed out-- >> trevor: that actually kinds of works. let me ask you this then do you think tonight could be considered as the democrats quote/unquote blue wave. >> good question.

it's all about the joy yenly speaking -- these seats are more vulnerable -- in minority. take my word for it, do not watch marley and me drunk as health on an airplane. >> trevor: that is really interesting. i didn't know it was zocor lated to minority party success. the last question i have for you would you say that trump's rallies were an assets to the candidates that he supported. >> no. but it's our -- predict -- by jumanji. look at me i'm talking about jumanji on election night. than>> trevor: thank you, goes. stay tune more election night coverage when the daily show returns. we'll come right back.

[crowd cheering] >> trevor: welcome back to the daily show live election night coverage. so we have a few more results here. it is official in the senate race of utah, mitt romney has won the race and will be utah's senator. do you know what kids, if you want a story to inspire you look at this. like at mitt romney the guy was a governor running for president and lost and disappeared out into the woods but no he didn't. he fought, he came back and now he's a senator. do you understand this guy had nothing when he started out. all he had was a dad who was governor and $500 million. look at him today. now he is combining all the jobs

trying to get president. that's president. congratulations to you. we're joined by our special guest tonight jamil smith everybody. [crowd cheering] welcome back to the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: this is one of the craziest nights in america when all the results are flying n everybody's trying to predict everything. do you think judging by what we've seen so far this was a good night for america or too soon to call. >> it was definitely america that's for sure. we saw in florida unfortunately it looks like andrew tbillal has con-- gillum has consided the race to ron desantis. that's something frankly we've seen a discomfort with black leadership even though we had eight years of a black president but still a lot of folks not ready for black folks to run things. >> trevor: that is 49-50. i think that's what 50,000 votes that separated them. out of eight million. >> in amendment four passed in

florida tonight would give the voting rights back to 1.6 million people who have been formally incarcerated. that could have made the difference. >> trevor: is really is an interesting race to watch. all the mid terms are because a lot of people said this was an interesting mid terms beit wasn't about the candidates. people said this is about trump or not trump. do you think that's what it was and do you think that was decided tonight. >> i think that certainly the house victory for the democrats repudiates trump in a big way. 9% of the margin for the popular vote which means that you know, that's a lot of people in this country who said no to trump independent, abandon trump. so it is a repudiation of trump. but then you see the governor can's races in georgia right now it's still pending kemp is

winning and you see a repudiation of trump but you see trumpism works. >> trevor: trumpism works but not trump. let's go back to the stacy abrams race. you said it's too close to call right now and it looks like kemp is winning. it's a very change race because the person mentoring the race is running in the race and you also have a situation where it feels like people don't have a trust in the voting system right now in georgia. the stories that are coming up on-line people are saying how is this happening and most importantly for many the polls. the polls has stacy abrams winning and it isn't seem like that's happening. when does the news stop reporting the polls to people. when does that go out the window. >> a lot of us in the news don't pay attention to the polls. because look what happened in 2016. you had people overestimating the support for hillary clinton. granted she won by more than three million votes nationwide but national polls didn't really matter it mattered about what happened in those states.

the same kind of thing playing out tonight and what we think we need to understand there are other dynamics at play here. something called the bradley effect where a lot of people say they're going to vote say for a black candidate and they saw the polling place and they get to the ballot and they're like i don't know if i can pull the lever for the black guy. fortunately we've seen a lot of that in this election and i don't know if that's the only reason why abrams is down and gillum lost but that's certainly contributes to it. i think a lot of folk don't understand how race and racism play in this country. >> trevor: it's too soon to say for certain but the tracks have the house. does this mean that america's starting to toward a different cross that means the democrats can begin a fight back. do the republicans reassess what their message is with trump. >> i think that means this is the beginning of the fight frankly. you have a democratic house to announce subpoena pretty much anyone they want, they can start the investigations. they can basically do what

congress is supposed to do which is to put it on the president. while he still has the senate to appoint his judges and whatnot his legislative agenda is basically bit. don't cheer yet because that gives him a lot of time to do other things, okay. like start more wars. wow. >> trevor: that's an emotional rollercoaster. >> the thing is there are no clear answers from this election. we have to see not only how the president reacts but how strongly democrats go forward even the people that lost beto, gillum, possibly abrams, real stars in their party have shown a pathway forward for them to a pathway forward for them to not just you
