t right over here by the--freeze! ha! you're busted, buddy. i'm a cop! captioning by captionmax www.captionmax.com captioning sponsored by comedy central >> live from comedy central's world news headquarters in new york, "the daily show" with trevor noah presents. let's get ready to ramble! (applause) (cheers and applause). >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show," everybody! welcome to it. take a seat, let's do this thing. but first, democrat the first democratic debate just ended and tonight we are coming to you

live! (cheers and applause) live from new york, yes. and in you don't believe that we're liver i will prove it. watch this, siri, what time is it right now. >> moscow is the capital of russia. >> trevor: goddammity it never understands my accent. we are live though, take my word for it and like i said just a moment ago. just a few moments ago they wrapped up the very first democratic debate. an epic showdown between nine normal sized people and bill de blasio. and the anticipation for this thing was huge. because with the the election a mere 496 days away, this was a chance for many of the unknown candidates to introduce themselves to a national audience. they could go from who is that all the way to oh yeah, that guy. now no, i'm not going to vote for him, no. and honestly, honestly. it is really hard for these candidates to stand out because there are so many of them taking part in theetion debates. ten peopling on stage at the same time it is almost impossible to keep track of who

they all are. that is actually why i came up with this really simple mnemonic device, you can use it you go better dancers breatheilessly try rapidly jumping canyons cradling bacon even while organs twirling grape jettee inside john delaney. see, it is supersimple, you remember everybody. yeah. and if that is still too hard you can try this easy acro im, bdbtrjccbe-wboad-- buttigieg, so tonight was night one. the biggest name on the stage was elizabeth warren, poling in the lead, and she knew she was the frontrunner. she was so chill. she came out, she was chilled out there. she went hard against corporations. she pushed free education. she spoke about how the economy is only working for the very rich. it was all really very standard elizabeth warren, as normal as seeing a man walking a chicken in brooklyn, it's every day.

so basically it was up to everyone else to try and figure out airway to stand out. and beto o rocker, wow. beto o'rourke, he know there is one way to spice up a bland affair. >> in that vein, some democrats want a marginal individual tax rate of 70% on the very highest earners, those making more than $10 million a year. would you sport that? >>. >> (speaking spanish). >> to hear my answer in english, press one. >> trevor: goddam, beto o'rourke, that was a surprise, totally a surprising. this guy was so fluent i bet half of america thought they flipped to uni vision by mistake. yeah, no, press the sap button, press the sap button. i'm not just saying that. look at how shocked considerree

booker was when beto started espanole, his eyes are just like wait, wait, you know that feeling, have you ever walked into an exam in school and then like you silt down and another student puts a protractedder on the desk and are you like what, we need a protractor? that is what that face was, panic. absolute panic. but for real though, beto o'rourke was pretty impressive. and it wasn't just his spanish. he also proposed immigration policy that would end the separation of children and parents at the border. and you have to admit it would be cool for america to vey president who is fluent in two languages, right, it would be cool. it would be cool to have a president who is fluent in one language, you know. and while beto o'rourke was wowing the crowd with his fluent spanish, amy klobuchar came prepared with zingers that would destroy the crowd. but every time she tried to land them, her time was up. >> this president is literally, every single day ten minutes away from going to war, one tweet away if going to war, and

i don't think he should conduct foreign policy. >> your time is up. >> in the bathroom at the five in the morning. >> congresswoman gabbard. >> it is a path to citizenship, for people who can become citizens. >> senator. >> and it would be so much better for our economy in america. >> that is time, thank you. >> because i can tell you that if billionaire. >> senator, that is time. >> billionaires can pay off yacht, stulds should be able to spay off student loans. >> that is time. >> and pharma thinks they own washington, they done own me. >> your time is up, thank you. >> oh man. you could see like she had the lines loaded. that line like maybe you this time. >> you know your time is up. >> no, i what is about to say the line. i feel so bad for her. it feels like even if she wins the whole election, this thing would just carry on. she will be taking the oath of office, i will failtfully execute the office of the. >> your time is up. >> no way, i am the president! >> i feel bad for klobuchar but this is alwaysa always a problem

when are you trying to fit an answer about policy into 60 seconds, this was bound to happen. this was the entire night. you know what i would do if i was at the debate, i would just tease my answers. yeah, yeah, they would ask me a question and i would be like what do you think about immigration, trevor. you know, i have actually vofled immigration, i realized there was a problem, and i found the solution. and i will tell you what if is when you come back to me. >> and then everyone in the crowd would be like no, go back to him, go back to him. go back. >> yeah, be like no, tim ryan, you speak. >> no! now klobuchar may not have landed many of her punch lines but she did differentiate herself on that stage by saying she wouldn't get rid of private health insurance and she wouldn't try to go back to obama's original deal with iran. she would look to renegotiate aspects of it. so warren was cruising, beto was fluent, klobuchar was being her moderate self and everyone else was just trying it to figure out how to get noticed in the debate. i mean tim ryan barely said a

word. poor jay insley spent most of the night trying to order a drink from a bartender who didn't realize he was. there look at him, just like standing there, like-- can i-- i-- yeah, can i-- teq-- come on, dude, how are you going to get the number nation if you condition even get a vodka soda. >> and the might seemed like it it was just going to be a bunch of people mostly saying the same thing. all the democrats have similar ideas. until lester hold brought up-- holt brought up health care and all health broke loose. >> would you replace private insurance. >> no, i think the choice is fundamental to our ability. >> private insurance is not working for tens of millions of americans when you talk about the copace. deductible, the premiums, the out-of-pocket expenses t is not working. >> why are you de fending private insurance. >> 350e78 like their private health insurance. i think we should be the party that keeps what is working and fixes what is broken.

(applause) i mean doesn't that make sense. >> oh, the short bald dude who sls running for president just came out of nowhere and stole that topk and got an a plawns. even the cameraman was like who is talking who ssh-- who is this person, where are they? this was-- this guy came out of nowhere. like in the royal rumble where a random dude comes in, with a chair, bam who is that, i don't know! in case you forgot, that was john delaney. all right? and actually he was so phisy during the night he gt a few moments where he got an a plawns and he-- applause and he made an impact. you know what he should do, he should say his name every time he gets his crowd on the side, that guy is cool, who is that guy. you have to say your name, like a dj khalid, every time he should have been that is why i say prochoice, john delaney! binge binge binge binge. and i guess, i imes delaney inspired everyone else on the

stage, right. because people realize if you are going to wait for the moderators to come to you you are never going to gept your chance to shine. you have to push your way into a crowded field, if there is one person who knows how to do that, it is a 7 foot giant from new york. >> the way that american citizens have been told that immigrants show createdded their misery and their pain and their challenges, for all american citizens out there, who feel you are falling behind, who feel the american dream is not working for you, the immigrants didn't do that to you. the big corporations did that to you. >> we need to have a different corporation in this country about guns but also a different conversation about policing that brings police and community together. we have done that in new york city and we have driven down crime while we have done it. >> put the american people first. >> but wait. >> we are out of time. we're up against the hard break but we will have much more. >> mayor de blasio, we will have more. the commercial is coming. >> trevor: yo, bill de blasio, he came in polling at 1 percent but after that i'm sure he blew it up all the way to three at

least. did you see the way he was just jumping into other people's conversations, that my friend, is a classic new york subway move right over there. you don't wait for the people to look at you. you look at them! you look at them! yeah, that was a class you can move, basically everyone was being polite and he just jumped, hey, yo, good evening, everybody, my name is bill de blasio, i'm selling policy for $1. i got ideas on iran for $2, i would appreciate your attention. and if i can't get your vote, i'm just asking for a smile. (applause) so that was night one of the debates. and to be honest, it was a lot more exciting than most people thought. i know trump tweeted that it was boring but he would always think that policy is boring because these people had ideas. they had plans for how they were going to do it and they had information about how they were going to run themselves from the white house. and even despite the arguing, everyone on that stage was

pretty much on the same page when it came to policy. like shades of gray. in fact, they were so similar that lester holtz turned into a grade two teacher to try and figure out who was who. >> all right, we will turn to the issue of health care and really try to understand whether there may or may not be daylight between you. many people watching at home have health insurance coverage through their employer who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government run plan, just a show of hands. >> so a show of hands who as president would sign on to the 2015 nuclear deal as it was originally negotiated. >> okay, and one more show of hands, which one of you is john delaney. which one. >> that's me, john delaney binge binge binge binge. so that was it. 10 people picking off what is going-- kicking off what is going to be a year of debate and civil arguments it was stressful and it was live. and if are you ready for an ad break, raise

your hand. we'll be right back. (applause) isn't it nice when you can keep things simple? well, now you can switch to sprint and get both an unlimited plan and the all new samsung galaxy s10e included for just $35 a month. see what i mean? simple.

(applause). >> trevor: welcome back it to the daily show, you know, this debate has more candidates than ever before running for president. and one of the big questions facing the democrats was how the hell are they all going to filt on that stage together. well, we saw what they figured out tonight. but people don't realize that the answer to that question has a long back story it is really an inning separational story about how people overcame the odds and we actually v the movie of how it happened because we totally made it up. >> five years fighting isis,

another five years fighting with isis. long story. still trying to get this car working, huh? >> cut the shit johnson, i told you, i'm done working for uncle sam. >> i'm sorry, captain. the truth is you are the only one who can handle this. >> when i saw that letter all i could think is oh my god. >> oh my god. >> none of my training could have prepared me for this. >> all right, listen up, we don't have a lot of time so let's get started. i gathered you here today because are you the best at what you do. top set designer there is. >> true. >> top explosives experts. >> check. >> math genius. >> tech wiz millenial who we all tolerate even though they are too lazy to show up in person for our planning meeting. >> hello, people. >> and of course the guy who doubts every part of the plan

every step of the way. >> this will never work. what is it? >> his job is our most difficult one yet. >> let me guess, we have to land a ship on mars so we can blow up an alien reactor, again. >> i wish it were that easy. >> we have to build a debate stage. >> not a problem. >> that can hold 20 democratic candidates. >> what? >> that's mathematically impossible. >> you lost your mind. >> guys. guys, he's messing with us, why would there be 20 candidates from the same party. that's insane. >> it is insane! but it's our job. if anybody can get it done it's us. >> but put on your goddam big boy pants and let's get to work. >> girl, girl pant. >> is that the brand name, big boy, because i can google that. >> pants. >> pants. >> ther just pants. >> we lost an entire day just arguing about parent pants am

now we only have 12 days to pull off a miracle. as the hours ticked away i began to have doubts with. >> the hell. >> would we make it in time. >> hey, cap, just a reminder, this will never work. >> huh? see who can stack the candidates on top of each other. >> we can't do that. bernie's neck can't handle a hickenlooper, running out of time, people. >> told you this wasn't going to work. >> dumb dumb. >> you're the dumb dumb. >> 20 candidates is dumb. >> yeah, you're right. >> we were out of ideas. and almost out of time. two hours until the debate, we had nothing. >> told you this would never work. >> shut the [bleep] up.

>> that's it. >> instead of putting all the candidates on the same stage on the same night, we split the debate over two nights. >> will it work? >> i mean they receiptically 20 divided by two is ten. >> do it. >> lord, i flow i'm not the praying type but you owe me this one. >> welcome to the first democratic debate, in the 2020 race for president.

>> this, the stage is set to hold all ten candidates at the same time. >> senator elizabeth warren. >> congressman ryan. >> gov near insley, senator booker. >> structural integrity is weakening. >> democratic concentration is getting high. >> keep it steady, we're not even halfway. >> secretary castro. >> mayor de blasio. >> too much, the the stage is collapsing. >> no, no, no, i fore dpot to carry the one. >> hold on. hold on! >> senator klobuchar. >> pfeiffer seconds to collapse. >> it's no use. , take your suicide pill. >> yait, i have an idea. diverting all power stage left. (laughter) >> it it worked.

(cheers and applause). >> trevor: welcome back it to the daily show coming to you live on debate night, my guest tonight is a senior political writer for five-thirty-eight. please welcome perry bacon, jr. >> thanks for having me, trevor. >> trevor: welcome, welcome, welcome. >> thank you. >> trevor: so let's get into it. we both watched the debate. what are your initial impressions. >> the big thing is watching the debate for screwups and nobody really screwup, particularly elizabeth warren who is doing well in the polls did not make any big mistakes. she did not screw up. that was big for her. >> trevor: do you think that was the main thing for elizabeth warren was coming in, don't lose your top spot.

>> she has got the momentum right now. she has done well, gaining in the polls am you don't want to forget something, say something dumb, i think she did, she was pretty good. not just she wasn't bad, she was pretty good in terms of explaining our policy. >> trevor: she seemed solid. laid out her policy ideas, knew what she was coming in today and i feel like she had a certain swag where she wasn't afraid of trying to talk over people. she just was in command of that stage. >> and when lester asked, who raised their hand for medicare, she was willing to do so a big moment where her and de blasio, the also-rans, the people who weren't doing, de blasio and john delaney who my guess is john delaney not a lot of folks have heard of. i thought he had a pretty strong night in jumping in and ge&nng in there. >> trevor: when you look at the policies that were discussed, it seems like all the the democrats were as i said shades of gray. a spectrum but within a certain pallette. looking at somebody like amy klobuchar, she came in, a bit of

a cron tairian to the rest of the group, she seemed like she laid out a pretty good case for why she wanted to do what she wanted to do. what do you think each candidate needs to do to try and get thrair policies to be the one recognized above other policies which are similar to theirs. st hard, if you are warren or benny sanders, the answer is my policy is way to the left of everybody else. that say very clean un. >> you saw delaney balance saying all that stuff, details, unrealistic, kind of crazy. but otherwise i think it is very hard. you saw castro trying to say i have the best immigration plan but i wonder for the average view fer that was a fairly confusing conversation. >> trevor: he started talking about the name of the bill. >> i think candidate-- i think castro was em mat-- emphatic and also a latino candidatement people know he spoke about immigration in great detail, emphasized his background. that was useful for him as well. >> trevor: let's talk about the moderators for a bit. a lot of these did he baits are determined by the people who are moderating the debate.

what do you think of the job that they did? >> so i like the question where they ask people, i know you made fun of the hand raising because it is like first grade but it does help you understand, the clearest moment, i know de glassio, elizabeth warren are for medicare for not and not private insurance. everybody else isn't. on iran i know cory book certificate some what different, although he is sort of confused that a little bit. >> he like was in and out, not in and then he said the thing and took back. it was confusing. >> i give 4eu78 some credit for not, the control room jobs were hard. i route it was good they didn't bash their colleagues by name who were sort of not doing it i thought some questions were great, some not great. i think st a really hard job. the thing i thought was hard was like insley particularly these guys are trying to jump in and say i want to talk, i want to talk, like a first grade class again. i think they did a good job. warren and booker spoke the most. it was not unbalanced. he everybody imelts to talk

some. i thought the moderator did a pretty good job in terms of the question. >> if you look at the impact of a debate, i mean it is fair to assume that most of the people watching these debates would probably be left leaning or democrat, you know, once it becomes national it feels like more people tune in because now they want to see policies against each other. if somebody from a red state were to tune in and i know this was close to you, you know, because of where you are from, if someone tuned in from a red state, what policy do you think they would have seen today where they would have gone oh, that message appealed to me as somebody who lives and votes red. >> i don't, i live in kentucky, i don't know that anything sort of-- like tim ryan i think did the best job of saying, he talked about the opioid crisis, he did a good job. he sort of named parts of ohio. klobuchar did she in terms of talking, to union fie all people. i think those were pretty good

answers. but i do think it will be hard. i will be curious what joe biden does tomorrow, because is he the person most trying to do that one thing to note, in general we find a lot of people don't actually watch the debate itself even though they tell us they do later. everybody votes until you look at the numbers and-- right right right. >> you find the biggest thing is like what happens in the viral moments. a lot of people don't watch the he can baits and what is covered the next day ends up having as big of an impact of what is. >> tha is interesting. >> my guess is tomorrow will be bill de blasio will get out there, for example, castro took on beto. i think that will be a moment. talking about how get b av iman stand. the world is now kind ever a viral moment world. >> trevor: which is bad because when it comes to a debate, you want some newance, the fuller context, now it seems like things will be dispill ksh-- distilled moo moments. so through that lens, which moment do you think stood out when you go that person did a great job

of branding that. because i was watching it and for the most part as much as tras tro was emphatic, i found the branding was lacking. if are you not familiar with policy, what the numbers are, it didn't connect with you, which people do you think had the clearest moments of branding where you go fla is stuck in someone's head. >> bill de blasio said private insurance doesn't work t has all of these problems, john delaney a few times said all my arrival rivals have cum plans that won't happen, i think that will come through. and i think gabbard, who served in iraq was em fatteddic said we should have no troops in afghanistan. those are the three comments. and warren saying 50eu78's a populist. big companies coulding much to hurt the little guy who didn't broke out to meerks booker and beto were two people who i thought when the race started could win. ÷-c8doing well in the polls.ot when i watched, neither one of

them said anything or made a moment that i think would help them that much. i think they need to start having those moments to get into that top five. >> this was night one. thank you so much for joining us. it was more exciting than most people anticipated. appreciate having you here. >> thanks, trevor. >> five-thirty-eight, perry bacon, jr., everybody. we'll be right [ indistinct conversations, baseball game plays ] i can taste your beer. i want to taste his beer.
