♪ >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show," everybody. thank you so much for tuning in. thank you for coming out. i'm trevor noah. our guest tonight is one of the stars in the new movie "dora and the lost city of gold," eva longoria is joining us, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) also on tonight's show -- wild animals prefer hip-hop and we have to talk about the mass shootings that took place this weekend. we're not going to solve america's gun problems in half an hour but we'll probably do more than congress. so before we get into that, let's catch up on today's headlines. let's kick it off with something cool. since the beginning of time, humans have asked two questions -- is it okay if our

pets see us masturbating and can we fly? we'll never know the answer to the first, but the second might now be a yes. >> a french inventor has successfully flown his hoverboard across the english channel. frankie zapata soared from france to england on his jet powered board. the 22-mile trip took 22 minutes including a refueling stop. his first attemp failed after he failed to land on a refueling platform. an emotional zapata designed wiz feat as an amazing moments acing "my dream came true." >> trevor: okay, that is amazing. hoferboards are finally real, legitimate ones, not those they sold us in back to the future 2. going from france to england, that's flying. if you're a british person who voted for brexit, that's your worst nightmare. one moment, we'll have no more of the bloody foreigners coming

into england, then a french dude flying out of the sky saying, bonjour! i'm here to sleep with your wife! ( laughter ) i'm not in a rush to get one. it's cool. but it looks uncomfortable. the whole journey you're probably covered in bugs, it's like flying spirit airlines. spirit arms, we're the overboard of the sky. let's move on from a triumph of human ingenuity to total opposite. in canada over the weekend a real come managed a big escape. >> billboard reports a canadian woman walking her dog, she scared away a wild cougar by playing heavy metal band metallica's don't tread on me. she yelled for the krueger to stop but it didn't leave so she blasted what she said was the noisest thing on her phone.

( heavy metal music [ >> the cougar blasted off into the bushes and the woman and her dog were not harmed >> trevor: that's insane. a woman came face to face with a cougar and played metallica on her phone to chase it away. if it was the other kind of cougar, playing metallica only attracts them. that wouldn't have worked. ( laughter ) ( applause ) also, i'm impressed she had the presence of mind to pick the right song to scare it away because she said she chose that song. i won't lie, if a wildcat surprises me in the woods, i would be so cared i probably hit random on the phone. random like sean mendez song. ♪ i love it when you -- and the cat would be like, what are you saying? no! ( laughter ) or play something from the lion

king sound track and the cougar would be lion king, that is so racist, you think all cats are lions? you know what? i was going to mall you but i don't like the taste of bigots. ( laughter ) i have a loot of experience coming across wild animals. you don't need to play loud music. if you ever come across a wild animal, all you have to do is look the cat in the eye and say, excuse me, i'm conduct ago short survey. would you like to answer -- that cat will be gone. be like, oh, i'm late for a meeting! that's it for the headlines. let's move on to the top story. ( cheers and applause ) mass shootings. over the past few years, they have become as regular in america as "star wars" movies. like "star wars" movies, people have started paying less and less attention. but this weekend, something happened. >> a nation mourns the victims of two shooting massacres just

13 hours apart. >> the massacres in el paso, texas and dayton, ohio happened in startling proximity for a country already too familiar with gun violence. 29 people were killed in the two shooting rampages just 13 hours apart. >> trevor: yes, in the span of two days, 13 hours, in fact, 84 people were shot and currently 31 people have been killed, in two deadly mass shootings. even though most of america has gotten used to dealing with mass shootings, having them happen back-to-back has forced people to take notice. this weekend's tragedy garnered so much attention that president trump couldn't respond with his usual sat tweet. instead he had to comout and give a formal address to the nation this morning where he condemned white supremacy and domestic terrorism. unfortunately he offered condolences to the people of toledo, which is not one of the cities that had a maz shooting. so that was the mass shooting

equivalent of saying the wrong person's name in bed. but these two tragedies didn't happen in a vacuum. they're part of a rise in mass shootings in years. news anchors, politicians, pundits are all trying to figure out the root cause of what has become a national epidemic, and they have been pinning the blame on a lot of different things, starting with the internet. >> i know the controversial web site 8chan, extremists seem to have found a home. at least three mass shootings this year alone have been announced on the site. >> the dark corners of the internet where these people breed hate and division -- >> the perils of the internet and social media cannot be ignored and they will not be ignored. we must recognize that the internet has provided a dangerous avenue to radicalize disturbed minds and perform deminted acts. >> trevor: yes, many people

including the president are saying the internet is to blame for radicalizing these domestic terrorists because giving them a community ad and platform is helping them share ideas. same way the internet gave a platform to people who eat laundry detergent. used to, you shared it with poison control. now you have a community. some say we need to tighten regulation of the internet. i'm all for it, especially after i got cat fished last week. i thought i was talking to a lonely middle aged man who need mid social security woman, turns out it was some beautiful woman who wanted to date me. what the hell? i get what these people are saying, though, the internet is a powerful tool that can be used to radicalized wanna be mass shooters. maybe that's why we don't have a mass shooting epidemic in africa. the internet is shit and the power keeps cutting. right now there's some guy in nigeria who says i want to be

radicalized but this wi-fi is so slow. you're so lucky this video is buffering. you are so lucky. i will have to stick to e-mails. dear sir, i have lots of money -- ( laughter ) now, while some people argue this epidemic is cause bid the internet, another argument is it's something more precise, because everyone uses the internet in america, but most of these shooters are young white men. what do young white men all have in common? video games. >> the idea these video games dehumanize individuals to have a game of shooting individuals and others have always felt that is a problem for future generations and others. >> first shooter games would deaccepts advertise folks to the violence. when you see it through a screen and you don't relate to it in person, it makes it seem like it's more accessible. >> what's changed in this country? we've always had guns, we've always had evil, but what's changed when we see this rash of shooting? and i see a video game industry

that teaches young people to kill. >> trevor: okay. on the surface, that sounds like a pretty good argument. america has always had guns, america has always had evil, but mass shootings have only taken off over the past, what, 20 years? and what has been new in the past 20 years? violent video games. although, by that logic, anything that's been invented in the last 20 years could have contributed to mass shootings, like crocks were invented over the last 20 years. and i know they inspire anger in me. ( laughter ) here's another thing, here's another thing, though -- if video games are responsible for shootings, how do you explain countries like south korea or japan? they play the same games at a higher rate than the u.s. but neither of these countries have a mass shooting epidemic. the worst thing japan is dealing with is karaoke epidemic. the only thing murdered there is

mariah careyy songs. some blame the internet, the other say it's video games. but for in many, if the president wants to find the cause of what is happening he should look in the mirror. the 21-year-old white mail said the attack was in response to the hispanic invasion of texas and that his idea pre-dates president trump. >> a lot of people are taking issue are the explosive rhetoric he has used, rhetoric that mirrors the screed written by the el paso murderer. >> just three months ago, this scene at a rally in panama city beach florida. president trump first laughing when a supporter in the crowd suggested shooting immigrants. >> but how do you stop these people. >> shoot 'em! >> you can't. there's -- ( laughter ) that's only in the panhandle you can get away with that statement. ( laughter )

( applause ) >> trevor: yeah, it might have been a joke at that rally, but clearly there are people out there who could take the president's words seriously. i know it's crazy to take trump's words seriously but some people do. in fact, as we've learned, the mass shooter in el paso left behind a manifesto that included the same phrases trump uses every day -- fake news, immigrant invasions. the only reason you know it wasn't written by trump is the grammar was correct. ( laughter ) here's the thing -- although there is a chance donald trump has emboldened racist mass shooters, we also cannot say he's the overall cause because there were racist mass shooters before donald trump. the same way you can't blame stuff crust pizzas for the obesity epidemic in america. you can admit adding an edge to the pizza is not going to help people lose weight but it's not the cause. some say the internet, other blame president trump. but the thing we're hearing most

is the real cause is all in the head. >> mentall mental health is a large contributor to any violence or shooting violence. >> there are so many different factors. maybe a child is born with mental illness. >> the person in dayton is a sick person. no politician is to blame for that. you cannot be a white supremacist and be normal in the head. these are sick people. >> trevor: now, again, this argument sounds completely logical -- if someone kills a group of random strangers, they must be mentally ill, but that's not necessarily true. in fact, a majority of mass shooters have no history of mental illness, which is a cary thought because it means most mass shooters are killing because they want to, not because something went wrong in their brain. so what causes mass shootings? is it the internet? video games?

trump in mental illness? what's sad and frustrating about america is after every mass shooting, lawmakers want to identify the one thing that causes all mass shootings, and if they can't agree on what that thing, is nothing gets done. but the truth is, when it comes to any individual shooting, the cause could be any one of those factors, if not more. but there's one thing that every mass shooting has in common -- whatever motivated it has to be combined with a gun. we'll be right back.

( cheers and applause ) thank you for coming out. i really am fascinated by some of the conversations people have post-mass shootings in america. one of the more interesting ones was a tweet that has drawn quite a bit of backlash from neil de grasse tyson. he tweeted and said something about mass shootings, and was really insensitive and people were so angry that he was trending. like, if you're trending and there's been two mass shootings, you've (~bleep ) up. basically, the tweet was about like scale or how we react to

the idea of people dying. he said in the past 48 hours, the u.s.a. horrifically lost 29 people. in five hours, we cause people to homicide, car gents, suicide, and often our emotions respond more to spectacle than data. i get what he was trying to do, he was trying to be sciencey in moment, but first of all time -- do you know what i mean, at a funeral is not the time to tell people the guy owed you money. let's start with that. but secondly, i feel like it fundamentally missed the -- i guess the human element of what people are fighting for in america, and that is trying. a lot of people were saying, yeah, you tell them neil.

people like to make a big thing about mass shootings in america, a few people die. but it's interesting how all these things bring up still has a country that tries to stop them. trying is the thing. medical errors happen but you know what they've done over time, they've tried to decrease medical errors by implementing new laws, new system where they go, like, maybe the nurse can help and track what the doctor is doing, the pharmacist can look at your prescriptions and make sure you don't have an overdose, things are not left inside your body, they try and decrease the numbers. same thing with cars. people say, people are dying in car accidents, we don't ban cars. yes, but you know what we do? we ban dangerous cars. as a society we go, these are cars aren't working, you need a certain type of car. to get a car, you need a license, we want to minimize the chance of a person dying in a car. we'll have random stops where they check if you are drunk driving to try to protect people from dying in drunk driving accidents. speed bumps.

people try with speed bumps. speed bumps are literally going, we don't know why or how people go fast, maybe it's a cool road, they're chasing it, we don't know. we know we'll put a speed bump on the road just to make it harderred to do fast. that's all we do. people run to the extremes. they will be, like, oh, after 9/11, 3,000 people died. america didn't ban airspace, yeah but they locked that shit up hard! ( cheers and applause ) do you know what i mean? like there's a little thing called the t.s.a. have you flown? have you flown? you can't -- like, too much is a liva and they tell you, too much liquid, go back, spit that shit out! they try. they try harder and harder to make flying safer and safer. as a flyer, i appreciate it. i understand the shit i have to ggo through but i appreciate wht

i have to go through. political (lers would do a hijacking, and they said we'll make it harder, we're going to lock the door. they said we're going to make it more difficult. we're going to check your i.d. then the metal detectors and things that scan you. if need be, we'll cup your balls to make sure you won't blow some shit up. we're trying. and, like, that for me is always been what america is about. america tries. we'll keep on trying. eth not about perfect, it's about trying to be more perfect. you know what i mean? like, that's all i don't understand about how people argue the guns thing is. i'm not saying get rid of guns. you're saying try to minimize the chances of this happening. try to make it as hard as possible for people to own a gun because you only want people willing to work hard to own a

gun to own a gun. you only want people who respect it to own a gun. you want to make it as hard as possible. ( applause ) that's all it is. and then people always say the same thing to me, they go, trevor you don't care about the second amendment, but, yes, the second amendment fundamentally, if you think about it, is about protecting human beings. that's why it was written, about protecting human beings. what is the good of writing a law that now protects the guns as opposed to the human beings that it's supposed to protect? that it's supposed to protect?
