( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> welcome to "the daily show"! i'm trevor noah! our guest tonight is an

incredible musician who is going to perform for us! anderson paak is here! but before we begin, you've probably noticed that this is a little different. well, what happened was, over the weekend, i lost my voice, and my doctor told me not to speak at all or i might get surgery. so i cannot say a word. luckily i have michael kosta to be my voice. he doesn't pronounce the word controversy right, but he will say everything like i was going to say it including the n-word. just joking. he will be fired before the word leaves his lips. the reason i lost my swrois is, over the weekend, i was back in south africa celebrating my personal hero nelson mandela at the global citizens festival. as you say in last night's show, i was able to catch up with my grandmother and we talked about my shared memories growing up as black people under apartheid. it was an experience that meant a lot to me and to all my south

africans back home, i want to say giyabunga! that's definitely how you say it. but we're going to do the show the way we normally do. so let's catch up on today's headlines. nice. you know, if you want to be rich and successful, you have to work hard, like this guy, who's been grinding his whole life all seven years. >> this minimogul is the highest paid youtube star 2018. "forbes" magazine estimates 7-year-old ryan earned $22 million from his toy review channel. well, now, ryan is brafning out. content from his channel will be repackaged and redistributed on hulu and amazon. he's also launched his own toy and clothing collection. >> a 7-year-old millionaire. that's not good for anybody, especially him. you know his parents can't even punish him like a normal kid anymore. they will be, like, you're in big trouble, young man. go to your house!

his teacher is, like, where is your math homework? he says, here's some math for yaw, $100, $200, $300 -- ( laughter ) the internet no longer has an infinite number of porn sites. it has infinity minus one. >> tumbler will ban all adult platform on december 17, all nudity is banned except for nude classical statutes, breast feeding and nude political protees ease. >> i like it they make an exception for nude protests. i bet person is about to become really political just so they can stay online. after every money shot, the actress will turn to the camera and be, like, register to vote! ( laughter ) moving overseas, the president of nigeria is having an identity crisis. >> the president of nigeria is denying rumors he's been cloned. muhammadu buhari addressed the speculation in a tweet over the

weekend acing "the ignorant rumors are not surprising. when i was away on medical vacation last near year, a lot of people hoped i was dead. in 2017, muhammadu buhari spent months in london for treatment during that tiernlings many claimed he had died and been replaced with a clone. >> even nigeria's real news sounds like nigerian cam e-mails. i'm supposed to do a nigerian accent here so -- (nigerian accent) dear sir, i am a president who is trapped in my country because they all think i am a clone. please send me $10,000. that's pretty good. ( applause ) now, we're supposed to believe he's not a clone, but i don't know, because, you know, if the c.i.a. did have that technology,

they're going to test it on an afternoonen first. they won't try it on rich white people. the c.i.a. chief says, it might not work the first time so find someone who doesn't matter. the president of nigeria? yes, that's perfect. ( laughter ) once again, we need to talk about racism in america. sorry -- uh -- hello? oh, no! when? right now? right now. i'm on my way. trevor, i'm so sorry, i can't talk about racism in america right now, i've got this really important real thing to do. is it cool if just roy does this part? roy wood, jr., everybody! come on, get out here, everybody! thanks, trevor. ( cheers and applause ) >> hello, everybody. i'm the trevor noah now. ( laughter ) i'm not mocking you.

(accent) i just notice this accent calls people when discussing race, or would you like me to talk in this voice? okay. split the difference. cool. here's a story involving a christmas tree, police and pretty shitty stereotypes. >> minneapolis police officers on paid leave after using racist items ornaments on your their precinct christmas tree. >> outrage after viral photos showing christmas tree with malt licker cans, menthol cigarettes boxes and popeyes chicken cups. >> all fun and games but when santa finds that popeyes up with is empty, he's canceling christmas for everybody. hold the (~bleep ) up, where is my chicken?! like, i don't know if santa is coming down your chimney, but best believe my uncle derek will smoke the hell h out of them n newports. to be honest, i'm partly proud

of these cops because they clearly took time to use updated, accurate stereotypes. i wish all raysists studied before spewing hate. say, boy! why don't you get out of here, boy! and watch your favorite show, season five of empire, specifically the episode where lucius is losing control of the record label and cookie call the cops on her nephew, i know what these people like. ( laughter ) let's go to the main story. ( laughter ) as we know by now, the midterm elections were a big win for the democrats. but republicans didn't make it easy for them. the gerrymandered districts, created new voting restrictions and even printed ballots on nude photos of mitch mcconnell. and if the choice is vote or die in that case, i choose die. ( laughter ) but even after republicans were removed from power, they were saying, all right, fine, we'll

leave, but we're taking the power with us. >> outrage in wisconsin and michigan. as lame duck republicans attempt to strip power from elected officials before democrats actually take control. >> protesters descended on the wisconsin state capitol today decrying what they are calling a last-minute lame duck power grab by the state's republican legislature. republican majorities in the state legislators have proved quickly in the last days of unified governance to pass a slew of measures that would limit the authority of both the governor and the attorney general right before democrats take those offices. >> this piece of legislation is a mess. it's a hot mess. >> a -- a hot mess? who still says that? does wisconsin get their slang on a five-year delay? well, it's a hot mess fo shizzle. this legislation is officially off fleek. ( laughter ) now, hot mess doesn't even capture how blatantly corrupt

this power grab is. democrats in wisconsin and michigan got hired to be governors, and now republicans are making those positions less powerful before they take office. this would be like marvel changing spiderman's superpowers now that he's black. it's, like, okay, okay, miles, so you can't shoot webs and you can't climb walls, but you do get a monthly bus pass. ( laughter ) welcome to the ad the avengers. and the powers taken away are not small things like which kind of cuck gets to be back on the state quarter -- which is obviously the northern pin tail. the mallard is obviously just the stereotypical -- we'll talk about it later. that's cool. ( laughter ) right now, republicans are basically trying to stop democratic governors from carrying out promises they campaigned on and that voters voted for, like campaign finance reform and protecting medicaid. so this is voter suppression after the election, and it's despicable.

but, at the same time, i get where the republicans are coming from. you don't want somebody to be happy now that you're out of the picture. if my girlfriend dumped me and started date ago new guys, i'd do exact same thing. all right, that's got a new dude, that's cool. but you can't go to p.f. chang's, that's my spot! ( laughter ) couldn't handle spring rolls with no new dude. ( laughter ) the ballsiest part about all of this is that republicans don't even care enough to come up with a good excuse. >> senate majority leader scott fitzgerald commenting that they are preparing for divide in the capitol. >> i'm concerned. i think that governor elect evers is going to bring a liberal agenda to wisconsin. >> goddam! that was just the truth right there! he didn't even try to sugar coat it. he's just, like, the people of wisconsin want this liberal stuff, and i don't, so (~bleep )

'em! ( laughter ) i hope this guy is that honest about everything. don't worry, kids, we sent your dog to a farm upstate to have him murdered because he was old and gross. ( laughter ) while all of this is happening up in michigan and wisconsin, another voting scandal is unfolding in north carolina. turns out last month's race for the ninth congressional district might have been outright stolen. >> one razor-thin north carolina house race is still not settled amid irregularities and allegations of fraud. the bipartisan state election board decided not to certify the race between republican mark harris and democrat dan mccready. the two are currently separated by just 905 votes. >> democrats turned over several sworn affidavits yesterday that raised questions about voting in the county sharing stories that said a person personally stopped by their homes and collected their absentee ballot, one lady saying she would finish your

incomplete absentee ballot on her behalf. >> so apparently a republican campaign worker was going around, taking people's absentee ballots saying, don't worry, i'll finish it for you. ( laughter ) which should have been the first red flag. nobody likes voting! ( laughter ) so why would anyone want to do extra voting? if someone came by and said they're going to do your jury duty for you, something's up! ( laughter ) hey, hey, how you doing? i was just in the neighborhood and i was just wondering if you had any kidney stones i could pass? ( laughter ) so between michigan, wisconsin and north carolina, republicans are doing everything they can to distort the will of the people. what makes it so ironic is that, for years, republicans have been searching high and low for evidence of voter fraud, but it turns out it was inside them all along.
