[sobbing] >> from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause )

♪ >> trevor: thank you! welcome to "the daily show," everybody! i'm trevor noah! thank you so much for coming out, everybody! and thank you for tuning in! our guest is an amazing actor making his directorial debut with "the boy who harnessed the wind," chiwetel ejiofor is joining us, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: a democratic fight with kids and roy wood, jr. sees the future of politics. let's catch up on today's headlines. first of all, did you guys have a good weekend? ( cheers and applause ) oh, well, i'm glad i asked. i had a fun weekend. it was pretty chilled out. i hung out with friends, watched the oscars -- from on stage at the oscars!

hashtag winning! hashtag living my life! hashtag i just want to thank my mom! ( laughter ) it was such an amazing night. it's my first time there. everyone is -- it's wild. like, everyone is just, aaahhh! aaahhh! aaahhh! and you seem like an idiot because it's like, i love you. i love you. i love you. live you all! i love you all! i was superstar struck. literally, helen mirren punched me in the face. best night of my life. but for those of you who could been at the show, there was still plenty to enjoy watching at home. the big moment was the super sexy duet between bradley cooper and lady gaga. it was super hot. now, here at "the daily show," we can't afford the rights to the song, so we can play the video for you but we have to change the music. but, still, take a look. ♪

♪ >> trevor: wow, get a room you two. ( laughter ) and then, of course, the big news of the night, "green book" which won best picture, been called the reverse "driving miss daisy" because the driver is white and the passenger is black and they drive in reverse the whole movie. ( laughter ) but i'm not going to lie, for me, the night's big winner was spike lee. >> the most animated reaction of the night coming from director spike lee who won his first oscar for best adapted screenplay for critically acclaimed film "blackkklansman," taking a not so veiled shot at president trump and his 2016 election speech. >> 2020 election is around the corner, make the moral choice between love versus hate. >> president trump tweeted be nice if spike lee could use his

notes or better yet not use his notes at all when doing his racist hit on your president who has done more for african-americans, general justice reform, et cetera, than almost any other president. >> trevor: president trump called spike lee racist. ( laughter ) it was, like, "blackkklansman," that's offensive, folks. should have been called "black very fine people on both sides." both sides! ( laughter ) also, trump is the last person to tell anyone about their reading. really? mr. (mispronounced words) that guy? congratulations to all the winners from last night. international news, vice president mike pence was in colombia, or as donald trump calls it, south mexico. he was there to monitor the situation across the bored in venezuela where things are getting more tense than mike pence's own eyebrows when he tries to look tough. >> the crisis in venezuela reaching new heights over the

weekend as president nicolas maduro closed the border to block humanitarian aid from the u.s. from getting into the country. >> vice president pence arrived in colombia today to meety venezuela opposition leader juan guaido. >> our efforts will not only continue, they will be increased. despite maduro's brutality, we will press on. >> trevor: okay, whose idea was it to send mike pence to solve the crisis in venezuela? like, is the plan just to bore maduro out of power? is that what it is? maduro will be okay, okay, enough about your mother, i'll leave, already! ( laughter ) also, i think it's a little risky to send mike pence to south america. what if he accidentally eats spicey food? this is mike pence. if he has too much salt, he needs to gargle with holy water for an hour. also, by the way, i feel like mike pence gargles with his mouth closed because he doesn't want to seem gay ( gargling ) and news from the world of

politics. senator dianne feinstein, at 85, the california democrat is the oldest person now serving in the u.s. senate, but she's not too old to mix it up with some much younger opponents. >> law-makers are no strangers to heated debate but california senator dianne feinstein is raising eyebrows after getting into it with a group of children over climate change. >> we are trying to ask you to vote yes on the green new deal. >> okay. i tell you what, we have our own green new deal. >> the government is supposed to be for the people and by the people and all for the people. >> you know what's interesting about this group, a i have been doing this for 30 years. i know what i'm doing. you come in here, and you say it has to be my way or the highway. i don't respond to that. i was elected by almost a million vote plurality, and i know what i'm doing. >> you're supposed to listen to us. that's your -- >> how old are you?

>> i'm 16. >> well you didn't vote for me. >> well, she -- >> well you know better than i do, so one day you run for the senate, and then you do it your way. >> trevor: well, maybe you should run for the senate. how are you the most childish person in a debate with actual children? ( laughter ) i'm surprised, like, feinstein didn't just copy everything they said. i'm 16. i'm 16! stop copying me. climate change is a problem. change is a problem! senator feinstein, don't lecture the children, just lie to them. ( laughter ) doesn't she know how easy it is? you want the green new deal? okay, well, i'll talk to santa about it, now get the (~bleep ) out of it, i don't negotiate with territories! let's move on to today's top story. if you are a sexual predator, first of all, please stop watching my show.

( laughter ) secondly, this past weekend was not a good time for you. because it felt like the entire country turned into an episode of to catch a predator. starting with an arrest that was about as surprising as shallow winning best song at the oscars. >> singer r. kelly waking up in police exist dithis morning now charged with ten counts of sexual abuse involving three minors. >> kelly spent the weekend in jail, unable to post his $100,000 bond. >> if convicted, kelly could face 70 years in prison. >> trevor: freakin' weekend, baby. i'm about to spend 70 years in prison? oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! ( laughter ) 70 years in prison. that's a long time. you know what that means? get ready for a lot more chapters of trapped in the closet. yeah. because that's all he's going to have time for. it will be, like, man, i can't believe i believed about being trapped in the closet.

it was so spacious and i could come out at anytime. that's right. after years and years of alleged sex crimes, r. kelly may finally be facing justice. it's strange they got him after all these years. it's like if wile e. coyote caught the road runner, who is also a criminal, by the way. that bird has been smuggling drugs across the border for years. and trump's border wall will not stop him. he'll just paint a hole in the wall and, ( beeping ) , right through it. ( laughter ) he's not the good guy. ( laughter ) i was genuinely shocked to find out r. kelly doesn't have $100,000 for bail. how is that possible? i think of his nukes differently. i thought i believe i could fly was a song about believing in yourself. this mother (~bleep ) couldn't afford a plane ticket. i believe i can fly. no, according to a bank statement, you can take the bus. that's what you can do. that's what you can do.

( applause ) so it turns out he didn't have money, he's being charged with ten counts, so r. kelly's best bet right now is to pray, alhoe i don't know if god has time for his prayers because he's got his hands full right now. >> pope francis today ended a landmark summit on the roman catholic church's sexual abuse candle by calling abusive clergy tools of satan. >> the pontiff promising to bring the wrath of god upon police who are sexually abusive. >> trevor: that's right, the pope threatened the abusive priests with the wrath of god! that is the ultimate "just wait till you dad general motors home!" when he comes back to work you are in so much trouble! ( laughter ) if i was a priest, i would be worried about facing god's will. look what happened to jesus and god wasn't even mad at him. if you're super religious, the wrath of god raining down on

abusive previous is the worst possible punishment. on the other hand, many people are pointing out that the wrath of god isn't a thing. yeah, i bet r. kelly heard this and he was, like, can i also take the wrath of god as my pun snent no, i'm saying, instead of prison, i'll take two. give me double wrath of god and no prison. can i do that? so it looks like the church isn't going to do enough to punish these sex criminals which means we might need to get the government involved. the only problem, the government also has its handsful. >> one of florida's cabinet members is said to have broken the law different. >> when alexander acosta now labor secretary was u.s. attorney in miernlings he has prosecutors broke the law while cutting an extremely generous deal with jeffrey epstein, the billionaire accused of abusing over 30 underage girls at his

man shun. >> do you know about the jeffrey epstein case? >> i know acosta has done a great job as labor secretary and that seems like a long time ago. ( audience reacts ) >> trevor: yes, you heard that right. 11 years ago, the man who is now trump's labor secretary basically let a billionaire off the hook for abusing underage girls, and president trump's response is that seems like a long time ago. yeah. look, that thing was 1 years ago, folks. by now, all those underage girls are over age, problem solved. i also like how the president is, like, i haven't been following the storks i was too busy watching spike lee at theos camplets yeah! think about how crazy this is. there's a member of trump's cabinet who helped a billionaire sex offender sweep a scandal under the rug and this story is it flying almost snreet complete under the radar because there's another billionaire having a different sex scandal at the same time also in florida.

yeah. i'm talking about new england patriots owner robert kraft. ( audience reacts ) he's famous for leading the pats to six super bowl rings but turns out there's another kind of ring he may have been involved. >> in new england patriots owner robert kraft officially charged with first degree solicitation of a prostitute in flav. >> the charges come as part of a much larger crackdown on illegal sex trafficking. >> on two occasions kraft slits add prostitute at this shopping center massage parlor 20 miles from his west palm beach home. >> trevor: i'm sorry. this story is so insane whamplet you doing paying for sex in a strip mall in florida? you own the patriots! you could walk into my strip mall in boston and get a hand job for free! you wouldn't even have to ask. they would be, like, oh, my god robert, kraft, what an honor! hey, sally, get over here and help with the balls!

( laughter ) seriously, you're a billionaire and you might go to jail for a happy ending? which by the way, i've never understood the term happy ending. all massages have a happy ending because i leave relaxed and spelling of lavender. did you get a happy ending? it's always a happy ending. is the alterch alternative a sa? the massage is over, and your dog is dead. oh, no! i should have gotten the happy one! ( laughter ) this isn't just a case of a rich man paying for sex. the investigators say these women were not willing sex workers. they were from china forced into sex slavery, forced against their will to serve over 1,000 clients a year. it's not like pretty woman, it's more like pretty horrific which w is i why these are serious charges unless you're a patriots fan. >> what you don't find among patriots fans are a lot of

critics of kraft. >> it's single. not like he's married. >> he's my boy. standly him all the way. he's a goat. >> no one wants to come down on him because everyone wants to see the patriots win. >> if he wants to have fun with the hookers, it's his business. >> i don't want to think this happened, go pats, rob kraft, go all the way. >> they might drag his name through the mud a little bit but i think in the end it will be fine, it will fuel them for seven. >> trevor: that's incredible about sports in america. if you're winning, there's nothing the fans will get matted at you for. he could nuke the place and they say this is fuel for number seven! you can call it repulsive for these people to brush aside serious sex crimes like this but binged also call it

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." in the age of trump, politics has become a national obsession for everyone. old and young, but that may not be a good thing, as roy wood, jr. reports. >> from parkland to congress, young people across the country are getting political. the 2018 midterm elections had the highest youth turnout since 1982. that was the year they voted to legalize open carry for boom boxes. college and teenage activism is on the rise, but how young is too young? >> when you say teenage, how old are we talk? >> no! no! get out of her r. kelly! i mean too young politically. >> hey, guys, i want to make a video abou.

>> his video we need communism s has over 2 million views and that's the tip of the iceberg. >> on my channel, i have 4,500,000 views total. >> you get better ratings than "the daily show." >> yeah, a lot of people don't watch tv anymore. >> excuse me. excuse me a second. hey, trevor noah, hey, what's up, man? this is roy, i quit. but his communist agenda has received criticism from a hard hitting political scholar. >> the one line, we need commune i'm -- no, no, no. meet the conservative capitalist aka at a time. >> communism assumes infallibility in everyone. the chance of that happening are almost nonexistent. and he has a whole christmas list of conservative views. >> i'm anti-gun control, lower taxes, smaller government.

>> smaller government like kids? >> no, not quite like that. >> how many views does this kid pushing communism have, 4 million, 5 million? >> around that number. >> how many numbers do you have pushing the conservative agenda? >> definitely a lot less. >> free market has spoken. really, the kids today are into? >> influenced by career choices. >> that's why we still need black history month, racist. >> no kid cares about this stuff. it's got to be the parents feeding them these ideas, right? >> no. >> not at all. i had no idea about the communism video until it went viral. >> he didn't get anything about flicks from me. we're football. >> football over politics every day of the week. >> really not coming from the parents. that leaves one question. why? why are you into i this? >> i just find it interesting. i mean, why are you a

newscaster? well, you get paid, but... >> i just had an interest in politics because these old men in power, if they made one bad decision, north korea could be nuking us. >> damn, these two were growing up way too fast and i know where spouting your political views on camera gets you. >> cable news. >> wake up, son -- ( arguing ) >> the same way my dad made me smoke a whole pack of asking rest, i'm going to teach these kids the dangers of being a pundit. sth's what you want? i'm going to give it to you. that's what all the youtube hours, all the editing, all that porn you didn't watch because you were into politics. >> i think we should give a test to people about guns. >> yell it. >> if you support gun control --

>> no, yell it. keep looking forward, look at america! >> we should stop yelling! >> why? >> because! >> yelling is effective! >> if we let illegal immigrants they're going to destroy the country! they're breaking the law! >> huh-oh, we found a tweet of yours from 2001! >> i wassent born. >> play along. this shit is real. >> america the way. >> no. >> it is right now. >> no. >> and you want -- >> stop. you feel how lost you feel right now? >> i feel like my blood pressure is rising. >> i definitely feel like i just took ten years off my life from stress. >> i got through to them just in time. now to give these kids an experience they'll never forget. make way for mr. roy's kiddie fun van! ♪ where are the kids at? i've got everything kids can't resist. >> oh, my god. you've got to be kidding me. cool! >> bean bags, bats, gi tarls.

>> candy! >> doesn't this feel better than arguing about gun control? >> you know, to a certain extent, yes. >> and there you have it. nowadays, dillon doesn't talk about communism anynor. he makes videos about electrons and shit. at a time's gone back to his own ways, but at least he put on a coat. as for little old me, you can catch me riding around in your neighborhood changing childhood's one by one. >> this feels kind of odd. the fact a grown man has all of this in a back of a van is kind of suspicious to me. >> oh...

( laughter ) i was always worried about that. that was the one thing i was stuck on as i was going through the process and just seeing how i would respond on the floor. i think the main thing is just preparation. i had a great team of heads of department working with me, so just working with that kind of caliber of person, you know, you

feel that you have the space to kind of give it a go. >> trevor: and you definitely did give it a go. i mean, it's a beautiful film based on a strew story. >> yeah. >> trevor: it's set in malawi. you actually bought the film rights to to the book after you read the book. you wanted to make it into a film. what did you love about the story? >> the first thing i loved about it was its optimism and hopefulness. it features william kamkawamba, 13 years old, in malawi. his community is going through a famine brought on by intense flooding and a drought, and the government has turned their back on them, price of grain is through the roof and a massive shortfall for the grain harvest. he's taken out of school. school isn't free in malawi.

he sneaks back into the school, into the library and finds a book called using energy, an american textbook with a picture of a windmill on the front. he starts using anything he can find, scrap metal, anything he can club together and a book to try to build a wind turbine that will irrigate the land and generate electricity. >> trevor: right. what's powerful about this is on its own that seems like an amazing story, then you find out it happened in real life. you find out william is a real boy and genuinely snuck into school, which is mind blowing. i mean, snuck into school to learn. i mean, i can't imagine myself sneaking in double english or math or anything, but this was what inspired him, and then he goes on to save his village. you know, learning about sustainable ways to get water for his people. >> that was the moment that really changed everything for me in the book as well, is thinking of what my relationship to school was when i was 13. >> trevor: right.

>> you know, whether it was conceivable that i would be trying to sneak past teachers to get into the math class, you know, and just realizing, no, it's not conceivable, and the privilege of that, of my dynamic, you know, understanding the situation of this boy and thinking, that would be an amazing story to try and get out there. >> trevor: it's a wonderful story that you've told, a fantastic job acting in it as always, and congratulations, i think we're going to be see ago lot of you blind the camera, my friend. thank you for being on the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: the boy who harnessed the wind premieres on netflix in select theaters march 1. chiwetel ejiofor, everybody. we'll be right back!
