looking to poach some chumps. you in? yes. [chuckle] cool. let's keep this on the qt. ok. i don't want you to be a dead mammajamma. great. [sigh] >> 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! thank you for coming out! take a seat! let's do it! i'm trevor noah. our guest tonight is a renowned fashion designer and former winner of "project runway,"

christian siriano is joining us, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) also on tonight's show, the battle over impeachment heats up. neil brennan has a plan for the democrats and drake might get kicked out of the n.b.a. so let's catch up on today's headlines. ♪ let's begin with president trump. please hold your applause. ( laughter ) as you know, the commander-in-chief just got back from his trip to japan, and now we're learning just how far his staff went to keep him happy while he was there. >> now to another report leading to some outrage in warrant overnight. the white house reportedly asked the u.s. navy to keep a warship named after the late john mccain "out of sight" during president trump's visit to japan. >> before his speech, this photo obtained by the journal shows a tarp hanging over the warship's name. overnight, president trump deny anything responsibility, tweeting, i was not informed

about anything having to do with the navy ship u.s.s. john s. mccain during my recent trip to japan. >> trevor: okay, that is one of the funniest things ever, the white house asked the u.s. military to hide a ship because it's named after john mccain. yeah. that's how much trump's people want to avoid him getting upset, you know? just like the baby gets angry! ( laughter ) it makes me wonder, does the white house staff do this for everything trump hates. do they throw tarps over the vegetables on his plate? don't let him see! wouldn't it be weird in the military developed new stealth technology to hide things trump doesn't like? the generals would be, like, we need this technology to attack iran. no no! we need it to hide eric! ( laughter ) you have to admit they prevented a big disaster because if you know trump, you know that if he saw that ship in japan, he would

have lost his shit! he would have gone to the prime minister of japan, like, shinzo, my friend, i saw a ship i don't like, and i need you to do another pearl harbor for me. ( laughter ) get your best kamikaze pilots, somebody who's done it at least ten times -- but mr. trump -- you're right, make it 20 missions, i need the best. as the debate around climate change heats up, more and more americans are putting pressure on their government to break away from fossil fuels. the country says what if we call it something else. >> they're called molecules of freedom shipped to the world, the phrase came in press release announcing the expansion of a facility in texas that produced liquefied natural gas which they also called "freedom gas." >> trevor: yeah! that's america right there! it's not liquid gas! it's freedom gas!

( laughter ) that's so next level. you can't just change the name of liquefied natural gas to freedom gas. that's already what mike pence calls the president's farts. yes, mr. trump, sir, thank you again for another sweet breath of freedom gas! good luck on calling 911 if there's a gas explosion and you changed the name. hello nin 911! there's freedom everywhere! that's right, god bless the u.s.a. goodbye now! the n.b.a. finals have kicked off with the toronto raptors going up against the reigning champs the golden state warriors. but instead of focusing ton court, a lot of the drama is on the sidelines. >> with games one and two in toronto, it's near certainty rapper super fan drake will be there, but don't expect any courtside antics from him this time. n.b.a. commissioner adam silver

reportedly spoke with drake and his manager about toning down his act, so looks like no more back rubs for the app torse head coach. >> trevor: the n.b.a. told drake he needs to stop sideline antics which include giving massages to the raptors' coach, for two reasons, because the players find it distracting and it will come back to hurt him when he runs for president some day. you have to be careful of that, drake. ( laughter ) i know an easier way that the n.b.a. can solve the problem. because you have to understand, right now, drake is in rapper mode. that's what rappers do. on the sidelines, you guys suck, yeah, you, all that! it's distracting players. all you have to do is switch drake back to r&b mode and he'll calm down. say something he doesn't like. drake, did rihanna ever call you back? and he will be like, i don't want, i don't want to talk about the pain, you guys can play your

game -- ( laughter ) some people will just say drake is just enjoying the games, but there are times when it's too much. would i be lucky enough to sit court side, you don't see me acting a fool when they score because they don't score. that the not the point. ( laughter ) i don't act like i'm on the team. i have boundaries, people. i have boundaries. ( laughter ) finally, facebook is back in the news. this time it's because house speaker nancy pelosi saw a video that made her look -- not nice. >> facebook is doubling down its decision not to remove a docketed video of house speaker nancy pelosi. it was edit to make her appear impaired during a news conference. >> here is the real video of house speaker nancy pelosi. >> while there are those in our family who think why would you work with him if -- >> now the docketed video in which she appears to be impaired.

( slurred ) >> while there are those in our family who think why would you work with him if he, you know, and basically he's saying back to me, why would you work with me if you're investigating me? >> trevor: that's rough. ( mumbling ) it's a tough one. on the one hand, i can see why nancy wants the fake videos to be pulled off facebook. i get it. there are real videos of me on facebook i want to come down. i understand. but, on the other hand, i can see why facebook says that they can't police fake videos online because if you think about it, that's all videos online. yeah. i mean, do you likely think that cat was playing a keyboard? do you? huh? you likely think that banana likes peanut butter jelly time? no! you can't just take fake videos down. if the internet had no fake videos, it would be the library. i get nancy pelosi and others are saying the fake videos can

affect elections, but i have to be honest, if a fake video of nancy slurring can make you vote for trump, something tells me your opinion always going to vote for trump. i think nancy pelosi should fight fire with fire. if all these fake videos can work against you, lit the fake videos work for you. post about that time you knocked own sonny listen, yeah, or tell facebook when you jumped a dirt bike over the grand canyon. yeah? and if people think that'sly you, show them a video of you like this! ♪ >> trevor: wow! i'm voting democrat! all right, that's it for the headlines. let's move on to our top story! ( cheers and applause ) yesterday, special counsel and

guy who would rather be fishing now robert mueller finally stepped before the cameras for the first time since his investigation into president trump began, and america was glued to its tvs, you know, because this event was huge, it was so big they even had a half time show. fun fact, the entire mueller report is actually written on adam levine's torso. mueller didn't reveal anything new but reiterated a key point of his report, he said he couldn't charge president trump with obstruction of justice but congress could hold him accountable, which means impeachment, and the democrats are taking the impeachment torch from mueller and running like hell. >> mueller's comments have given democrats new momentum to talk of impeachment. >> many democrats including a number of candidates for president took mural's statement as a call to impeachment. >> this is as close to an impeachment referral as you could get under the circumstances. >> he's laying this at the lap of congress to go forward.

>> i would suggest he told us enough to interpret what he said as a referral for impeachment proceedings. >> he is demanding that we do this now or forever lose the opportunity to act. >> trevor: wow, i can't believe it. beto o'rourke is still in this race? ( laughter ) i completely forgot about that guy. i also can't believe how much mueller's press conference has emboldened the democrats. you realize a ike week ago they were considering impeachment and now they're fully in. it's like if your granny said she was finally ready considering getting an email address and a week later she was indicted for hacking into the pentagon. ( laughter ) so many prominent democrats are now talking impeachment, and when the president heard this, he was, like, how dare you speak to me that way! >> you think they're going to impeach you? >> i don't see how because there was no crime. it's high crime, not with or or, it's high crimes and

misdemeanors. there was no high crime and there was no misdemeanor, so how do you impeach based on that? to me it's a dirty word, the word impeach. it's a dirty, filthy, disgusting word. >> trevor: whoa! i think trump wants to bang that word! ( laughter ) describing impeachment, you being a dirty, filthy word! and i'm going to grab you by the pronoun. ( laughter ) i also love how trump thinks you need a high crime and a misdemeanor in order to get impeached, which obviously is not how it works. in trump's mind the democrats would be, like, okay, we have him on obstruction of justice, but we need to catch him for shoplifting or this thing goes nowhere! ( laughter ) and you can tell that mueller's announcement has trump shook, right? because this morning, in a tweet, he inadvertently acknowledged for the first time that russia helped to get him elected. yeah, but when the reporters asked him about this tweet, he

made sure to set the record straight. >> did russia help you get elected? >> no, russia did not help me get elected. you know who goat goth me elected? you know who got me elected? i got me elected. ( laughter ) >> trevor: i was expecting him to say, you know who got me elected? the american people got me elected. no, i got me elected! i feel like that's the difference between trump an pelosi, you don't have to manipulate trump's footage to make him look drrchg ( slurring ) i got me elected! he sounds like every drunk person in a pizza shop at 4:00 a.m. you're kicking me out? this is my pizza shop. i'll put a tarp over your face to cover awful you, me! ( laughter ) and like no one is surprised that trump isn't on board the

impeachment express, but what might surprise you is who else isn't ready to buy a ticket. >> the pressure is intensifying on the house speaker nancy pelosi to begin these impeachment proceedings as the drum beat of democrats is growing. so far, pelosi has resisted those calls. >> you dont's bring an indictment or you don't bring an impeachment unless you have all of the facts, the strongest possible case so that the president is held accountable, one way or another. >> pelosi says she wants an iron-clad case before moving forward. >> trevor: okay, nancy is really in a tough spot but holding firm. she's saying if the democrats try time peach trump they best not miss. she's focused. she's like the grizzled police chief who needs to calm down the cops. hey let's get this guy! nobody wants to get him more than me but if we take down

diablo, we have to be smart! hit the showers! i already showered! then do it again! you're dirtier than the word impeachment! ( laughter ) i understand this side to have the argument. some democrats are arguing as impeachment as the only way to hold trump accountable, but those in the pelosi party say he could beat the rap and it could turn the 2020 election into an impeachment debate rather than the progressive ideas america's excited about. you want people thinking about free college, healthcare, and all the prom sessments and if the democrats can keep people focused on the issues, they have a better chance of impeaching trump. if they rush in, they might make a mistake. maybe some of the democrats should take a page from indianapolis' viral video and just slow -- down -- we'll be

right back. ( cheers and applause ) anyone can stick a lime in a beer.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." over the past month, several states introduce introaded harsh new laws limiting or banning abortion. these bans are spreading so fast even measles as an epidemic is like yo you need to slow down! for more we're joined by my good

friend neil brennan, everybody! >> what's up? thanks, trevor. people, these abortion laws are getting out of hand. first the ban started at eight weeks then six weeks, pretty soon they're going to start saying life begins at eggplant emoji. if you're shocked, you shouldn't be, because for 40 years republicans said if we get enough power we're going to overturn roe v. wade. you know what happened? they got enough power, now they're trying to overturn roe v. wade. it's like i heard my entire life, when i turned 40, my neck would start hurting. guess what happened when i turned 40? >> trevor: your neck started hurting. >> it all started hurting, buddy. my neck, my back, my tushy and my crack. ( laughter ) thank you. republicans have shown that they are ruthless, maniacal and laser

focused and, frankly, i respect it. >> trevor: whoa, neil, how can you respect restricting women's bodies? >> i don't respect what they're doing, i respect how they're doing it. if republicans believe in something, they don't back down. republicans there the kid in the back seat of the car nagging their mom until they get their way. mom, can we go to mcdonald's? mom. mom. mom. mom. mom. mom. >> trevor: okay, okay, okay, okay! i think we all know where this is going. >> yeah, to mcdonald's. ( laughter ) you know why? because republicans are relentless. honestly, i wish democrats would be more republican. >> trevor: i'm sorry, what does that mean? >> it means that democrats are too nice. remember obama? remember him? black guy? yea high. president? in 2009, he came in proposing

universal health care but republicans said what about the deficit and the wait time and -- and obama said here's 20% of what i propose and a web site. good luck with your infections. >> trevor: you think democrats shouldn't have consulted with republicans at all? >> yeah, because back then democrats controlled both chambers of the congress and the white house. they didn't need republicans. getting universal healthcare should have been an easy slam dunk but instead turned into this. (~bleep ) ( laughter ) >> trevor: oh, wow! wow! okay. okay, that's just embarrassing. ( laughter ) >> yeah. that's democrats in power, buddy. republicans, on the other hand, refused to yield. they said ban abortion, no exceptions. rape, incest, doesn't matter. even if the ultrasound showed that the baby was going to be a werewolf, they wouldn't care. they would be, like, here's a

pacifier and a razor, congrats on your hairy-assed baby. don't let him out after dark. >> trevor: i think i get what you're saying. you're saying the democrats need to be as relentless as the republicans, but the question is are liberals even capable of that? >> of being annoying? oh, yeah. ( laughter ) you ever asked for a plastic bag at whole foods? they shame walk you down the tabuli aisle as gender fluid yoga instructor pelt you with yams. democrats need to bring that energy into governing because republicans came to win and the only way you will beat them is by being as relentless as they are. you want a green new deal, democrats? demand it and don't stop demanding it. green new deal! green new deal! mom! mom! mom!

mom! >> trevor: fine, i'll take you to mcdonald's! neil brennan, everybody! we'll be right back ( cheers and applause ) let's get one! oh yeah! argh! everytime i wanna get a.... i ran out of storage yesterday i had to delete a picture of my grandma -why? so i could take a picture of my grandma! now that's cold! ice cold. i just want a phone that gets me, you know. knows my schedule knows my taste knows my music i'm over the hype. super over it. say goodbye to this thing. how are you gonna do that? how are you just gonna... ohhh byeeee phone! ok i see what you're doin' google!

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is a member of the council of fashion designers of america, the mentor on the current season of bravo's "project runway" and recently debuted his eponymous 2019 ready-to-wear line. ♪ ♪

please welcome christian siriano! ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: welcome to the show. >> how are you? >> trevor: i'm fantastic. how are you doing? >> that's a gray great video. >> trevor: it is. >> i haven't seen it. >> trevor: it's a gorgeous video of very gorgeous clothing and gorgeous women, and what's interesting about that video is, unlike many videos we see of people walking around on a runway, it seemed like the sizes and the shapes of the women were changing. >> yeah. >> trevor: that's a new thing. what's going on there? >> yeah. no, i know. we decided a few years ago that we should, like, celebrate the people that are actually wearing the clothes, and that made sense, and, oh, maybe the customer needs to look this way. >> trevor: it's a beautiful change!

( cheers and applause ) as a designer, that's something that you really have been focused on is finding a way to be more inclusive in what your brands are about and what your clothing is about. for a long time, fashion felt like it dictated what people should look like. >> yeah. >> trevor: but seems like now designers are slowly saying, hey, we should in some way try to represent the people who are out there whilst also informing the trends. why is that so important? >> yeah, it's about this idea of celebrating people or celebrating beautiful and what is beautiful, and i think, i don't know, at least i found beauty in all these types of people, men, women, trans, binary, whatever they are, it should be a fun great moment for you. that's what i thought was important as i build my brand and grow and i thought that was the easiest thing. >> trevor: you really bring fun into outfits. >> yeah. >> trevor: the oscars recently was where we saw one of the most beautiful designs ever. billy porter dressed in the

tuxedo gown. >> yeah, amazing. ( applause ) >> you know what's so amazing about billy, billy's been in the business a really long time, he's such a sell grated actor, and he's, like, i've never been to the oscars, i want to be me. he said, i want to wear a gown. i said, great, i've got two days. let's go. i didn't think about, oh, a man has never worn a dress on a major red carpet like that, but it was great see ago young generation who had so many kids and teens being, oh, i actually can feel like i can wear what i want to wear to school because i saw billy having all these amazing moment and all these amissing actresses separating him. that was an amazing thing. just to get that thing alone is everything. >> trevor: it's fascinating how kids go, when you're young, you look at pictures and say that's what's normal and cool.

janelle monae, you had her out fit created for the met gala. it was one of the most popular outfits of the night. >> it's amazing. >> trevor: it looks like art on a human being. >> it was kind of inspired by a distorted picasso painting which was actually inspired by african masks, so janelle really liked that. she wanted her eye to blink so she blinked all night. >> trevor: that eye blinked, which was creepy, and i was at the met gala and i was talking to janelle and the thing blinked while you were talking and you don't want to ask because you seem crazy, you don't want to be, like, hey, is your dress blinking? it's o weird moment. >> she said i want people to say i'm hugging you with my eyes. she wanted surrealism. she wanted that moment. the theme was what are we going to do, how are we going to bring something to life? she's down for so many things and such a creator so it was really fun to do. >> trevor: you have been working for such a long time.

you really have been someone who's been grinding and working to achieve a lot of the prestige that you have today. >> yeah. >> trevor: at one point people tried to define you as only a winner of "project runway." >> right. >> trevor: you've come back as a mentor now. >> yeah. >> trevor: the cfdas honor you as one of the most prominent designers in the world. so when you are now mentoring designers who want to create things that change how people see fashion in the world, what's your advice? >> it is hard to tell someone what should or should not be because i don't have all the answers, but i try to treat it as get the thinking around it. if it's okay, it's a red carpet challenge, and they're, like, this is for beyonce and it. and i was, like, if you aren't celebrating the beyonce body, it doesn't work. >> trevor: right. >> i try to give those ideas a way where they don't think about it that way, they're just like, oh, my god i've got to make a cool dress, but clothes are more

emotional than they used to be. like when i addressed michelle obama for the dnc, that dress was an emotional thing for one to have the greatest speeches she ever gave. simple dress but spoke volumes. >> trevor: that's really what it has become. >> yeah. >> trevor: i'm excited to see what you are going to create next. >> me, too! >> trevor: i'm wearing a dress under the desk right now. >> i wish. >> trevor: i appreciate you. thank you so much for being on the show. for more information about christian, go to christian siriano.com and you can shop online. christian siriano, everybody! we'll be right back!
