[stirring music] bleaaaah! captioning by captionmax www.captionmax.com >> 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! let's do it! i'm trevor noah! our guest tonight is a journalist and author, here with a new book about the lost schoolgirls of boko haram -- isha sesay is joining us.
1:42 am
( cheers and applause ) also on tonight's show, puerto rico is hit by a political storm, why you're going to get zero likes on instagram, and trump releases his latest hits. so let's catch up on teed's headlines. let's begin with the weather. if you're one of those people who spent the first half of the year saying, oh, i wish it was summer, already! well, your wish has been granted, you son of a bitch. >> most of the country is feeling the heat tonight. heat warnings are in effect from central oklahoma to pennsylvania this evening. the start of a heat wave that's spreading fast, east and bringing triple-digit temperatures for the northeast by the weekend, 170 million at risk. >> millions bracing for a record-breaking heat wave. it will feel like at least 100 degrees across 40 states, sun so intense it's buckling roads in wichita and blowing
1:43 am
trains in chicago, fearing the heat will actually bend the track. >> trevor: yeah, it's so track even roads and train tracks are buckling. like forget nudes, people are going to start sending photos of their air conditioners. yo, you want to netflix on actually chill? ( laughter ) it's so hot in new york that this morning on the subway there was a naked person, right, and instead of everyone being like, oooh! they were, like, you've got a good point! ( laughter ) now, remember, in a heat wave, you've got to remember you keep cool and be safe. drink a lot of water, stay out of the sun, and here's my personal tip for all of you, switch to the metric system, yeah, because everything sounds hotter with american numbers. it is 100 degrees! i use celsius, only 42. not that bad. oooh, 42! i could use a jacket, yeah! ( laughter ) if the weather tempted you to put on a skimpy outfit and post a photo on instagram for sweet
1:44 am
likes, bad news. >> today instagram is expanding a test of a new feature that hides the number of likes on post-s. the aim is to remove the pressure of collecting likes. the tests started in canada, may, rolling out in australia, new zealand, ireland, japan and brazil. the platform is committed to minimizing stress competing for likes. users will see a liked by user name and others below their posts instead of the number of likes. >> trevor: wait... instagram is getting rid of likes? i just got those butt implants and now you're getting rid of likes? huh? is zuckerberg going to reimburse me? i couldn't sit for a week! ( laughter ) i'll be honest, i understand what they're trying to do but this goes too far. getting rid of likes on instagram would be like if twitter got rid of all the white
1:45 am
supremacist? what would be left? six dudes telling you to check out their sound cloud. come on, people! i know they say it's for better mental health. social media is about get withing likes! if you want to see pictures, go to your grandmother's house and look at a photo album. show you all her dead friends. this one's mary! ( laughter ) those people would be, like, social media shouldn't be about likes. yeah, because you don't get likes! i said it! someone would be like fishing is not about catching fish, it's about hanging out and chilling, that's what dad said, yeah, because your dad couldn't catch fish. if your dad was good at catching fish, you wouldn't have time to talk about fishing! if you're planning on staying inside during the heat wave, make sure you locked your doors. >> a woman in tennessee found out bears don't just climb trees. eshe was eating oatmeal on a balcony when a bear made it on
1:46 am
to the deck. >> she barely made it inside. yeah. a woman in lake tahoe kept a camera rolling as a bear tried to break into a cabin, managing to stick its nose through an open window. a police officer scared it away. >> trevor: i don't get what the problem is here because when goldilocks went into a bear's home and ate their oatmeal everyone thought it was cute. wrote children's books about it. when bear does it, people are calling the cops? the three bears didn't call the cops on goldilocks. they said, she's just a girl, she doesn't need a criminal record, but now this bear's life is ruined! he could have been president! ( laughter ) that's it for the headlines. moving on to the top story. ( cheers and applause ) donald j. trump, from the beginning of his political journey he has struggled with some to have the traditional aspects of the job --
1:47 am
formulating policy, international diplomacy, not banging porn stars -- but there's one part of politics where donald trump has always been at home, rallies. trump and central lis go together like jacuzzis and utis, the place where he feeds off the energy of his supporters and lets his mind roam free. in north carolina he was firing on all cylinders. >> it's wonderful to be back in this beautiful state with thousands of hard-working north carolina patriots, and thank you for your support. ( cheers and applause ) you know what medieval style is? okay, little pieces, little pieces, little pieces. medieval styles. i lost all my friends! sure, my name is rains. raisin? like late raisin? that is a beautiful baby. we've got all night. we're going to have a lot of fun tonight, i have nothing to. do nothing to do. >> trevor: what? nothing to do?
1:48 am
the guy is president of the united states and sounds like your buddy who just got laid off. where's the party at, bro? it's tuesday morning and i've got nothing to do! nothing, trump acts like all the country's problems have been solved. i bet you somewhere in texas there's a border agent handling the crisis dealing with the kids and he's like, really, there's nothing you could be working on now? last night had all of the hallmarks of trump's rallies at their best, calling response, bragging about achievements, stories about mythical people who tell hem him what a great president he is. then he changed gears and zeroed in on the story that's dominating the news all week, alexanderra ocasio-cortez and "the squad." >> they never have anything good to say. let them leave.
1:49 am
cortez, somebody said that's not her name, it's -- they said that's not her name, sir. i said, no, no, i don't have time to go with three different names. we'll call her cortez. takes too much time! >> trevor: you just told us you literally had nothing to do! ( cheers and applause ) i have more time than anyone! i got nothing to do! can you say this congresswoman's full name? whoa, i don't have time for that. you think these crazy tweets write themselves? and i guess maybe trump didn't have time to say her name because he wanted to leave more time for the crowd to boo all of the members of the squad. although something tells me there's one member of the squad trump supporters aren't really familiar with. >> when you see the four congresswomen, oh, isn't that lovely? representative ilhan omar --
1:50 am
( booing ) -- representative rashida tlaib -- ( booing ) -- representative alexanderra ocasio-cortez -- ( booing ) -- representative ayanna pressley. >> trevor: ha ha, that's hilarious because they clearly don't know who ayanna pressley is. they were booing everyone else, and then they were like, oooh, we're still reading up on her... ( laughter ) i'll be honest, if it was ayanna pressley, i wouldn't know how to feel about this because on the one hand i don't want to get booed, on the other hand, i don't want to be left out, the only person who doesn't get booed. if all my friends got booed and i didn't, i would be, like, you
1:51 am
would tell me if i wasn't booable, right? i would go to instagram and see there's no likes, no one likes me? ( laughter ) while the crowd may not have been as familiar with ayanna pressley, it was very clear how they felt about ilhan omar. >> it was the defining moment to have the president's rally wednesday night in north carolina. the raucous crowd unleashing a new chant, send her back. >> trevor: back. >> obviously and importantly, omar has a history of launching vicious, anti-semitic words ( chanting "send her back" ) >> trevor: wow, send her back. a u.s. citizen, send her back. yeah. almost makes you miss the innocent days when all trump's crowd wanted to do was imprison a woman without trial -- lock
1:52 am
her up! lock her up! and that was horrible but at least hillary would get to stay in the country. ( laughter ) there have been several disturbing moments in the trump presidency but this one moment felt extra disturbing, the same way i felt when ted cruz grew a beard. ( laughter ) i didn't think it could get any worse but here we are! ( laughter ) and i'm far from the only one who felt that way about this moment in the rally. i mean, pretty much everyone who watched this thing was i sickend by what they saw. a group of republican congressmen expressed kerns to mike pence in a secret morning meeting. the backlash was so intense that the president tried to distance himself from his crowd. >> when your supporters last night were chanting send her back, why didn't you ask them to stop saying that? >> number one, i think i did, i started speaking very quickly. it really was a loud -- i
1:53 am
disagree with it, by the way -- but it was quite a chant, and i felt a little bit badly about it, but i will say this, i did -- and i started speaking very quickly -- but it started up rather fast, as you probably noticed. i was not happy when i heard that chant. >> trevor: wait, what? sometimes i i think this guy thinks cameras don't exist. how is trump going to say he wasn't happy with that chant? he inspired the chant. he's the one who tweeted they should go back, right? he said it in his speech. we saw it. he said it. this would be like a deejay turning on the crowd, everybody make some noise! and the crowd makes noise, and he says, hey, hey, we've got neighbors, come on, man! it's a tuesday night! people have things to do! come on! ( laughter ) and i don't know what's a worse lie, trump saying he didn't like the chant or that he quickly stopped the crowd from chanting. he said i quickly stopped them.
1:54 am
he didn't stop anything. he was basking in that moment like an iguana soaking up sun. he let it go on so long you san bolt could have won a gold medal in that time sounds like a joke but it's completely true ( audience chanting "send her back" ) >> and she talked about the evil israel -- >> trevor: see that? everyone crossed the line before trump stopped the chant. and look, here's the thing, like we've seen this before from trump. he gets his supporters worked up, he pretends to be shocked, and then it becomes one of his greatest hits when he's open the road. he did the exact same thing with "lock her up." came out, they shouted "lock her up" and when they asked him, he said, i can't believe it, i don't like it, i don't want hillary to go to jail. a few months later, he was,
1:55 am
like, uh, lock her up, lock her! ( laughter ) so we know this is going to become a thing. and to all the republicans who felt uncomfortable by what they saw at this rally, instead of complaining about it to mike pence in a little meeting, step up and do something. grow some balls! grow some balls! grow some balls! we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) wireless network claims are so confusing.

i use condoms. but i talked to my doctor about doing more. he said that because i had a higher chance of getting hiv through sex, truvada for prep could be an option for me. she also told me that truvada alone may not keep me from getting hiv. and it does not prevent other stis or pregnancy. you must be hiv-negative to take truvada for prep. so you need to get tested for hiv immediately before, and at least every 3 months while taking, truvada. if you think you were exposed to hiv or have flu-like symptoms, tell your doctor right away. they may do more tests to confirm you are still hiv-negative. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems, kidney failure, and bone problems, which may lead to fractures. rare, life-threatening side effects include a build-up of lactic acid and liver problems. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney, bone, or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking truvada without talking to your doctor. common side effects include stomach pain, headache, and weight loss. ask your doctor about your risk of getting hiv and if truvada for prep may be right for you.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." puerto rico, it's the island that doesn't get to vote for president but still gets the privilege of being yelled at by the president. puerto rico is still recovering from hurricane maria hitting them two years ago, but right now they're experiencing a very different kind of storm. >> tonight a huge protest is underway in puerto rico where the governor is refusing to step down over a scandal involving leaked private messages. tonight more protesters are on the streets of san juan demanding pre-k o's governor resign. other demonstrations in ierm, d.c. and new york. police fired tear gas in san juan monday. thousands of people had the
2:01 am
protest and political pressure intensified after federal authorities arrested several local officials last week accusing them of corruption, all the frustration is spilling out into the streets. >> trevor: that's right, the people of puerto rico are angry. they're in the streets, marching, throwing the tear gas back and i don't think police ever expect that. throw it and it comes back and it's, like, aaahhh! aaahhh! you don't want to mess with people who throw tear gas back. and it's interesting these puerto rican protests have spread to miami, dee signed even here in new york. it just shows you how far the puerto rican community reaches in the united states. you don't see that with any of the other states. if the governor of texas was in trouble, you wouldn't see cowboys marching in times square. they wouldn't be, like, impeach, y'all, we need to impeach! the reason puerto ricans are up in arms, they're unhappy with how the government has been
2:02 am
handling the hurricane maria recovery efforts, and on top of that there's been a lot of corruption. in fact, two officials have been charged with stealing federal funds, which is really messed up. not only did they reportedly steal puerto rico's money but they stole all the paper towels that came through into the crowd, yeah. so for months, because of mismanagement and corruption, the people of puerto rico haven't had a good relationship with their government, and what's made things worse is the same thing that makes many other relationships get worse, text messages. >> governor ricardo rossa has been under fire since nearly 900 pages of a private group chat were leaked in public. >> the chat is filled with profane, homophobic and sexist messages, one targeting puerto rico superstar ricky martin saying he has sex with men because women don't measure up. another appearing to make a death threat against the mayor of san juan. puerto rico texting the governor
2:03 am
saying i'm salivating to shoot her up. the governor responding, quote, you would be doing me a favor. >> trevor: whoa, what is wrong with you, dude, violence, misogyny, homophobia? and i can i say it's extra offensive to diss ricky martnan puerto rico. you don't come for ricky on his home turf. like talking trash about derek jeter at a yankees game or avocados as brunch or hedgehogs at don, jr.'s house. these leaks only added fuel to the fire. we're learning these days, anything you say in private will not stay private forever. you text them, they are not going to say that. you want to tell your friend a shitty joke, there's only one way to do it, drive to the middle of no, where meet your friend in an empty field and you whisper the joke in their ear. and when your friend turns
2:04 am
around, you shoot them in the back of the head. you might go to jail for murder but you won't get canceled. you can come back for murder. look at o.j. if anything, he's going to get canceled for his tweets. people would be, like, did you see what he said on twitter? what he allegedly said on twitter! most politicians would resign after 900 pages of their texts released but not this governor. >> ifn under increasing pressure and several members of his staff resigning amid controversy, still the governor refuses to step down. >> he says he won't resign. i am not proud of what i did. i need to move forward and continue on the work that we're doing. >> trevor: yeah, you need to move forward -- in another job. ( laughter ) people are just, like, i think we should move on. you can't just move on and expect everyone else will. you know, this is something i feel like some leaders don't understand. part of being a leader is being held accountable for what you
2:05 am
say, and i know you're thinking these are my private messages to my friend, but it's what you were thinking and saying. people know this, crazy shit. you would be, like, what about trump? he says crazy shit all the time. he doesn't count. he can say anything and it doesn't affect him. the rest of us are billy bush. that's where we are. he gets pussy grabbed and we never see him again. every trump's speech, they should put a disclaimer, the following comments were said by a professional mad man! don't try that slit! shit! being a leader is about two things, about how you do the job itself and how you represent the people while you're in office. you could be the best general in the world and fight really well on the battlefield, but when you're giving a motivational speed before the battle if you start farting, it's going to

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is a peabody award-winning journalist and author whose new book is called "beneath the tamarind tree: a story of courage, family, and the lost schoolgirls of boko horam." please welcome isha sesay! ( cheers and applause )
2:09 am
♪ >> trevor: welcome, welcome, welcome to "the daily show." >> thank you. >> trevor: it's been a while since i saw you. i see you at events. you know, for a long time, i watched you reporting on the news. you were on cnn, a familiar face. then you took a break, you just disappeared for -- you know, for a while, and it's because you were writing this book -- "beneath the tamarind tree: a story of courage, family, and the lost schoolgirls of boko haram." for me, it was a story of schoolgirls kidnapped in nigeria, training hashtag. -- a trending hashtag. >> yeah, bring back our girls. >> trevor: exactly, and it just disappeared. what happened since? >> april 20, 2014, the girls were taken 219 girls disappeared into the forest, and of them only 107 are back.
2:10 am
so this story is far from over. these girls endured years in captivity and horrific days, weeks and months of torture, starvation and you name it. >> trevor: right. and there is still 112 girls missing which i think is really my motivating factors for this book. >> trevor: it's interesting we've known the facts around the story. some may or may not know the girls are still missing. in this book, you've told it as a story, which is how i feel human beings truly understand information, you went to nigeria. >> yeah. >> trevor: and the story really happened to you. >> yes. >> trevor: like how did that come to be? >> yeah, so, you know, i have been covering the story with cnn from the very beginning in 2014, and i've stayed on the story, when the girls were released in 2016, i went to cover it to meet them for the very first time. what i couldn't have foreseen is my mother would have a catastrophic stroke in december of that same year that would take me to nigeria.
2:11 am
so i was actually in country. my mother was in a coma in a hospital in nigeria. it happened in the town where i'm from, but we had to move her for surgery, and it was there that someone said these girls are going home for the very first time since their abduction, and i had to make a decision, do i go, do i leave my mom in a coma to take them home, or do i stay and do this big tussle between what to do? but i thought my mother would want meo to mourn them and make the journey home and that's what i did. >> trevor: it's a powerful story. you tell the story as the girls told them to you because it's interesting, a lot of times people tell the story about other humans and here it feels like these girls are telling their stories and what happened to them when they were in captivity. we know that this is still happening, we know the girls are still missing. we also know unfortunately in the book many people don't even believe that it's true in nigeria. they think it's fake news, which
2:12 am
is heartbreaking. what can be done, where do you think the journey goes, and, i mean, i still want the people to read the book, but what duping happens after this story that people read? >> i think the nigerian government is, it's a bit like president trump, they are incredibly sensitive to criticism. >> trevor: right. so with that being said, the spotlight being shown on the nigerian government once more with this book will move them to reengage with this story, and that's what i real lewant. you know, the families of the 120 girls are feeling utterly abandoned and forgotten by the world and nigeria. this book i hope will have people back on social media. social media works, you know. social media -- >> trevor: wowish hashtags work. >> is this hashtags -- >> trevor: oh, wow, hashtags work. okay. ( laughter ) >> so if we can generate a ground groundswell and get back to using it and saying you must do
2:13 am
more, what are you doing. >> trevor: right. i want everyone here watching to use their voice, use their platform to hashtag to hashtag the nigerian government, bring back our girls, it will move the needle. i tell you how i know that, because since this book came out, the nigerian government has reached out to me and said please come so we can talk about this. >> trevor: that is phenomenal news. thank you so much for being on the show. a really wonderful journalism, a fascinating story. "beneath the tamarind tree" is available now. isha sesay, everybody! we'll be right back!
