no, it's wonderful. i'm going to frame it. i can always unframe. >> from comedy central world news headquarters in new york, this is "the daily show" with trevor noah! ( cheers and applause ) ♪ thank you once again for coming out! thank you! i'm trevor noah. my guest tonight is a an iconic actor whose new film for netflix is called "otherhood." angela bassett is joining us, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) first, let's catch up on today's

headlines. video games, they used to be the consolation prize for not going to prom. but now, thanks to video games, in other words can buy the prom. >> this morning 16-year-old kyle is waking up $3 million richer after being named the first ever fortnight's world cup champion. the pennsylvania teen beating over 40 million competitors from around the world to play a six-game series on the world cup stage. his mom says her son has been playing video games since he was three years old and currently plays fortnight between eight and ten hours a day. >> when i started playing, my family was kind of -- they weren't too sure about it but i told them eventually it would pay off. pretty much did. >> trevor: hell, yeah, paid off! this kid got $3 million for being the best at a video game. this is going to change everything, especially how parents run their homes.

now parents will be dragging their kids inside the house. no more playing with your friends and getting exercise! you need to be practicing your head shots, young man! this mortgage isn't going to pay for itself! ( laughter ) by the way, i see people online saying fortnight isn't a real sport, how can they get this much money. calm down. what is a real sport? you realize in one month in that same stadium will be people who are paid to hit a little ball at one another and make sex sounds. then they play tennis afterwards. ( laughter ) every sport is a madeup sport. if god came down he would be i bestow on you the sport of hockey for all the people but mostly white people but all the people! ( laughter ) all right, moving on, we just had a beautiful summer weekend, people everywhere were out enjoying their lives, going to the beach, the park, that kind of stuff, but president trump spent the weekend doing what he loves best, fighting with his

enemies, so let's check in on all the president's beefs in our recurring segment president trump commander in beef. >> and i could give him a what can! i'd like to punch him in the face! ( cheers and applause ) h. >> trevor: in our first beef, trump versus france. he may love the military parades and loose views on monogamy but when it comes to french wine he likes to pair that with a side of beef. >> president trump's next target for tariffs may be french wine. the president says he's consider ago new tack as a retaliatory measure. france has just announce add new tax on american tech companies like facebook and google. >> wrong, wrong thing to do. they should not have done it. so i may do that. i've always liked american wines better than french wines, even if i don't drink wine. i just like the way they look. >> trevor: that's a strange thing. i don't drink wine, i just like the way it looks. imagining trump ordering wine at a restaurant, bring me a botwell

your finest label, perhaps something with a picture of a castle on it, we're celebrating! ( laughter ) that was obviously a dom reason to give for imposing tariffs on a country, but if we're being honest, we all judge wine based on how it looks. when you go into a wine store, you have no idea what you're buying. oh, 2014, a good year for german reese ling! what you're really thinking is what can i get for under $12 that looks over $20? ( laughter ) and trump wasn't just picking international fights over the weekend, no, he was also picking fights closer to home and also about his home. >> speaking of president obama, president trump is blaming him for the inadequate air conditioning at the the white house. >> the obama administration worked out a brand-new air conditioning system for the west wing and it was so good before they did the system. now that they did the system, it's freezing or hot in here.

( laughter ) >> what? he's seriously blaming president obama for the temperature in the white house? you see what happens when you run out of things to blame obama for. it's almost as if trump is looking around the room for new material. you know, this office wasn't always oval. it used to have beautiful corners but obama stole them! ( laughter ) and by the way, there is no way that president obama is to blame for making the white house too cold. all right, never in the history of the world has any black person wanted to make their office colder. that's not a thing! when god was making the earth, eh gave everyone winter and africa said, no, we'll just take the sun, thank you very much! ( laughter ) ( applause ) so trump started his weekend off beefing with obama and french wine. then on saturday, he took his beef to the next level.

>> in more than a dozen tweets over the weekend, the president disparaging liege liege, calling his majority black district around baltimore a disdusting rat and rodent infested mess where no human would want to live. this comes after trump grilling acting homeland security secretary about conditions along the bored. the second time in a week trump has come under attack for members of coming. he tweeted cummings is racist. >> trevor: congress congressman cummings criticizes trump's border policies and in response trump tells him to go back to his rat and rodent infested city. which is not how you would expect an american president to talk about an american city. what's more disturbing, as multiple people pointed out, this language is part of the pattern.

president trump always uses the word "infestation" when talking about people of color. he says illegal immigrants are infesting america, that congressman john lewis' atlanta district is quiem infested and "the squad" must go back to their crime infested countries. you don't need to be a genius to see what trump similar playing. he's not subtle. if he was a painter, it wouldn't need to be interpreted, it would just say i'm sad, in giant letters. hmm, what does this mean? here's the thing, people are saying, are you saying baltimore doesn't have rats? i'm not saying that, of course it has rats, but you know which other cities have rats? all the best cities in the world, paris, london, new york, all have a rat problem. i'm starting to think if your city doesn't have rats it's because you live in a boring-ass city and your food sucks because raghts -- rats want to have a good time, too. everyone's seen the photo of

pizza rats. but people don't realize later that night he changed into opera rat. he has many tastes. ( laughter ) but once again, america is stuck in another debate. many people say trump's words are clearly racist, but trump says it's the black people who are the true racists because they keep bringing up race every time someone says something racist. ( laughter ) it's a little suspicious, you have to admit. real convenient. to be honest, my friends, it is hard to know which side is correct, which means it's a perfect case for trevor noah racism detective. he's the only person who can help us figure out is donald trump racist. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ yes, he's racist.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." studies, they tell us what to eat, how to exercise and which of our favorite things are giving us cancer. all of them. ( laughter ) but with new studies coming out every day, sometimes it's hard to keep up. luckily we have dulce sloan in our brand-new segment studies show. ( cheers and applause ) >> hi, friends. this week's studies are all about relationships, specifically romantic relationships. everybody wants one, especially me. i thought i was in one until you told me that his gifts were just amazon packages because he's my mail man. ( laughter )

hmm! ( laughter ) all right. i can tell when somebody's playing hard to get. ( laughter ) and thanks to new studies, we're learning all sorts of things about lippings, like this one which shows that the only thing gold diggers are mining for the french fries. >> according to a new study, many women are choosing free meals over relationships, the study in the journal social psychological and personality science says up to a third of women have engaged in a foody call, when a person sets up a date with somebody they have no romantic interest in all for a free meal. ( laughter ) that's right. studies show a third of all dates are just people trying to eat for free. ( laughter ) so, fellas, sometimes that eggplant emoji just means i'm in the mood to eat eggplant! ( laughter ) ( applause ) there's only one emoji that

( cheers and applause ) always getting to third base in the stationary out of walgreen's! get your mouth off each other!

i'm trying to pick out a card for my grandma and i don't need you licking all the envelopes ( laughter ) why do people need to make out in public like they haven't seen each other in a decade? he's back from the bathroom, not afghanistan. although if you did come back from afghanistan, thank you for your service. ( laughter ) but if you want to keep your relationship healthy, this last study shows a little jealousy can go a long way. >> smart devices, snooping is something more people will do than admit but can secretly scanning your partner's phone help your relationship? a new study says maybe. a study from the british of columbia said about 25% of the participants said their relationship got stronger after they or their signature other were caught snooping. the study concluded the strengthened bond came from a heightened desire to solve trust

issues. >> ha ha! yeah! you hear that daryl? i wasn't snooping, i was strengthening the relationship! ( laughter ) ( applause ) okay? you gonna complain i face i.d. you in your sleep? if you don't want that to happen, stop leaving your face open! ( laughter ) now, if you will excuse me, i have ordered several packages to my apartment. ( laughter ) and i have to have dinner ready for when my man drops them off. >> dulce sloan, everybody! we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) if there were one party

( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> fantastic. >> i feel like everyone greets you like that everywhere in the world. welcome to "the daily show." >> thank you. i did get it earlier today. >> trevor: you have to get it. i have so many iconic roles who have now spanned through time. when you look back, is there any one role where you think that's the first time people came up in the street and reciting lines to me? >> it definitely is "what's love." >> trevor: what's love got to

do with it? >> yeah. >> eat the cake ( laughter ) >> trevor: eat the cake. it's an understatement to say you're a legend on the screen. across continents people love what you're doing. you played some of the most gripping roles, for instance, tina turner, a powerful role that was painful, and now going all the way into comedy. was there a role you feel most comfortable in or do you just say th i crush it all? >> i wouldn't say that. >> trevor: what do you have more fun doing? >> i think i love the drama. >> trevor: oh, okay. >> i love the drama, but this role "otherhood," is more comedic, so that's freeing every day. you didn't have to go there every night. so that was a great deal, but i actually love stage. that's my first love, stage. so i'm hoping in my otherhood

that i will be able to get back to that. >> trevor: i think you will because this story was great because it felt like a story you were telling about yourself about moms out there, just women in general. the other story of "otherhood" follows yourself and friends as characters who have young children who moved into the city and no longer think they're kids but act like kids and this they don't need their mom. >> don't need them anymore. taught us every lesson that we need to know, we're gone off, packed it away, see you at christmas, maybe, if we're not too busy, which is kind of like what i did, you know, growing up. >> trevor: but when you see them, what i love about the movie is the moms say, no, we're going to go. you saw your character and it's, like, no, i'm coming to see you. >> i'm not leaving till he says he loves me and needs me. >> you've got two kids now, 13, right? >> i have done it. you know, because -- well, my daughter gives me kisses every day. she's very easy, you know, free with that, like, i love you mom,

smooching, on the phone, always three kisses before you get off. my son is just too cool for school and i've had to sit him done and say, i love you! i'm sacrificing to make things nice for you, and it would be nice if you would say, i love you mom or could we spend some time. >> trevor: he's already at that age? >> he's at that stage. you know, kids go through stages. >> trevor: he's not cuddly? he's like, i'm a man now, i'm out? >> kind of. i'm a 15-year-old man. look at my abs, see? ( laughter ) but he's come back around. he's pretty loving through here, but i know it's a passing phase, i know it. like every other phase that's come and gone. it might be a passing one. >> trevor: you seem like a very down to earth and simple person considering the world that you live in. is that the stage you or is that

just you? >> that's just me. >> trevor: how do you think you've remained grounded in all of these years? if i was a legend, i would not be grounded. i don't think so. you're, like, one of the most down to earth genuine beautiful people i've ever met but also a legend. if i was a legend, i would tell people i'm a legend. i will begin every sentence "as a legend." ( laughter ) what do you think has kept you being you all of these years? >> you know, i think the wonderful family that raised me, the simplicity in which i was raised, you know, single mom, you know, just working hard trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents. my auntie who i loved so much, he said, don't waste your college education, don't waste your education on theater because it's not going to work out, it may not work out for you. it's so tenuous and, you know, and inimaginable. but it did work out. it did work out. but it didn't have to. but it took hard work and it
