[exhales] my feet were so sweaty, i can't even feel the cold. what a lovely hotel. - okay. >> 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, as always. thank you so much. i'm trevor noah. our guest tonight -- our guest tonight is a star of "black-ish" and the creator of a brand-new haircare line tracee ellis ross

is joining us, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) and we're double lucky. we'll also be talking to one of the democratic presidential candidates who also has a new haircare line, montana governor steven is joining us! ( cheers and applause ) also on tonight's show, we figure out how to save the amazon rain forest. super mario brothers go back to school and donald trump finally gets his wall. so let's catch up on today's headlines. ♪ let's kick it off with the border wall. trump's favorite imaginary friend. ( laughter ) building it was his biggest campaign promise, and if you voted for him, then good news, it's finally happening. >> president trump tonight diverting billions of dollars from the pentagon from the military to fund his border wall. >> the pentagon notifying lawmakers it is diverting $3.6 away from procedure to pay for the president's border wall. cutting funds congress approved

from all sorts of programs, $40 million from cam lejeune, $160 million a west point and the single largest cut from the united states and territories, $400 million for efforts to rebuild military sites in puerto rico after being wrecked by hurricane maria. president trump says the money is needed as a matter of national security. >> trevor: wow... he seems like an idiot, but this guy's a genius. i didn't see it before, but clearly, this was his plan all along. think about it, trump builds the wall by taking money away from the military. now america has no military and is totally defenseless, so mexico invades, takes over america, now mexico runs america, which means mexico is paying for the wall. ( laughter ) brilliant. brilliant plan! wow! no, for real. for real, man. trump is struggling here. he went from mexico will pay for

the wall to stealing money from his own military. if this is how he negotiators i see how he went bankrupt some times. the worst kidnapper forever -- if you want to see your son, pay me a million. i don't have a million dollars! then i'm going to pay you! international news. while schools in america are trying to get scores higher, kids in britain are trying to go to high school. >> kids in england will learn life by playing video games. nintendo is being introduced into the curriculum to teach curriculum and skills. mario and donkey kong will be a staple in the classroom like the period elements. the hope is this will inspire the next generation of young minds across the united kingdom. >> trevor: you heard it right. super mario will be taught in schools just like shakespeare. they're going to be playing

nintendo as part of school. that's the one thing that could make video games boring is a teacher right teach it. now, remember, students, as in real life the best way to kill a turtle is to jump on it, okay? ( laughter ) i will say, i think teaching mario in school is a great idea. i learned so many things from that game i still followed today. if you eat spicey plants, fire's going to shoot out of your ass. if you see an open pipe, always jump into it. and most importantly, you never get the girl because she's always in another castle. yeah, because it's a castle. you can't chase her around. you can chase all you want because she's not coming back to your shitty studio apartment when the other guy has a castle so stop stalking her and get a job! these are the lessons i whrernd from games. ( laughter ) a new story from germany about an amusement park ride that wasn't amusing. >> in the one category, you have a job, a german amusement park was shut down as parts looked

like a giant spinning swastika. it consisted of eagle shape cars connected to an axis that strongly resembles the notorious symbol of nazi germany. after a social media backlash, the owners middle east closed the ride. >> trevor: oh, man, that does not look good, and it's even worse when you see the sign that says you must be this tall to ride. ( laughter ) honestly, the most shocking parted of the story for me is that germans have amusement parks. that doesn't seem like a german idea. you picture them, ( accent) family, we are going to have a mandatory fun day and remember when we get our picture taken we show german joy! ( laughter ) obviously, this was a mistake, but if you're a german, you can't afford to make this kind of mistake, all right? stay away from anything that could closely resemble a swastika. stay away from right angles, completely.

everything in germany should be curved. tabes and chairs should be curved. don't dance the robot, it's too close, it's dangerous. keep it tight, finger guns, finger guns. no guns, german, no guns. peace signs. that's it for the headlines. moving on to our top story. ( cheers and applause ) climate change. it's once again the top issue for many people in america partly because of the devastation of hurricane dorian which is such a crazy storm that it somehow hit the bahamas, the carolinas and then, thanks to president trump's sharpie pen, also alabama. ( laughter ) yeah, trump basically thinks his sharpie can bend reality to be whatever he wants it to be, which i guess is why all his family photos look like this. but the conversation about climate change is happening all over the world. more than ever right now, and the focus is on another major disaster unfolding in brazil.

>> brazil's amazon rain forest the world's largest is burning at a record rate. 74,000 fires this year up 84% from last year. >> for weeks now the amazon rain forest one of earth's most valuable resources has been ravaged by fires. >> the collection of tens of thousands of blazes engulfing an area two-thirds the size of the continental united states. the fire is burning from the equivalent of detroit to los angeles. brazil deployed 44,000 troops but most fires go unfought here. >> on the front lines of one fire, twice the size of new jersey, only 30 men are fighting the flames with no hoses, sometimes just kicking the fire. >> trevor: just kicking the fire? they're dealing with a forest fire the same way i deal with an ice cube that fell on the floor? aaahhh! go away! go under the fridge! aaahhh! ( laughter ) it sort of makes sense because brazil is the soccer capital of the world, they probably solve everything through kicking. instead of cpr, they kick the

person in the chest till he breathes again. grand-dad, stay with me! come on, grand-dad! ( laughter ) the real problem is that it's the world's issue because the amazon isn't just some random forest nobody cares about like for rest whitaker, no, the rain forest is critical to keeping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, mitigate's climate change and is the world's most diverse ecosystem which is why, all around the world, people are demanding something be done. >> the political heat getting hotter at home and around the world, protests in canada, france, germany, england. >> i'm just really scared that when i'm older the world isn't going be as it is now. >> trevor: the outcry on social media has been huge -- >> the outcry on smeedy is huge. leonardo dicaprio speaking out in a series of post on instagram, the lungs of the earth are in flames. >> trevor: from young people in europe all the way to

hollywood stars like leonardo dicaprio, everyone has come together to raise awareness for the amazon. can i just say how impressed i am that weo nardo dicaprio is so dedicated to fighting climate change? he's raised $5 million for this, out there every day and, don't forget, he died because of an iceberg, right, but he's still out there fighting to protect them. that is dedication, my friends. ( laughter ) now, look, as part of nature's cycle, the amazon rain forest experiences fires every single year, but the reason these fires have gotten so much attention is because it looks like brazil's new president is quite literally fanning the flames. >> brazil's president didn't strike the match that lit these flames but many say, given his policies and response to the crisis, he might as well have. >> it is believed many of the fires were started by farmers trying to clear land. the president's seeming support for the development of the amazon may have emboldened farmers to burn land.

>> he campaigned on the idea that economic development was being stifled because of unnecessary affection for the amazon. >> he's delighted his supporters by saying too much of the forest is protected. >> since he's come into power he's been stripping protections from the amazon and other forest in brazil and encouraging farmers to set fire to land and clear it. >> trevor: that is insane, running for president on promise of destroying the amazon forest. sounds like something the joker would say, and then even when when he says it he would say, i'm you canning, i'm the joker! not funny when you have to explain the joke, come on, guys! ( laughter ) turns out brazil's president is more interested in the commercial of the amazon forest nan the life it protects, which might explain why he is resistant to accepting help. >> the president is refusing $20 million in aid from g.7

country to fight the fires, calling it part of a colonial mentality. >> adding he didn't trust the motivation behind the money telling reporters earlier this week why do they have their eye on the amazon? what do they want there? >> trevor: what do they want there? they want the amazon to not burn down! just because you want to exploit the amazon rain forest doesn't mean everyone else does. can you imagine living next to him? his house would be on fire and you come to help and he would be, whoa, whoa, why are you trying to save my house? are you trying to sleep with my wife? no, your house is on fire, so it might come to me. like my wife? no! hey! ( laughter ) many of the leaders' world's biggest nations have criticized the where sailian president for his action but none more vocal than french president macron which -- >> the rhetoric really heating up as the fires continue to burn.

>> bolsonaro's chief of staff brought the recent note dam fire saying "macron can't even avoid a predictable fire in a church that is part of world heritage and wants to give less sons to our country." >> on monday brazilian president mocked macron's wife. >> he joined in a meme on facebook about president macron's wife's appearance and said don't humiliate the guy. >> trevor: maion crone says the world needs to save the amazon and bolsonar came for macron and his wife. will make the next meeting awkward, we'll have to put israel and palestine between them to calm them down. ( laughter ) the world's most precious forest is on fire. brazil's leader leaders aren't g enough to stop it and its president might want this to happen. i will be honest, seems like

only one can stop this, donald j. trump. ( laughter ) you see, what we need to do is -- we need to get the president to pull out that magic sharpie of his, and we need to get him to send that hurricane down from alabama all the way to brazil to fan out the flames! come on, mr. trump, use your power for good! do it now, donald! do it now! we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) do it, donald! hashtag vacay. sonoma? i want wine with lunch... it's 11am, cindy. thanks, captain obvious. don't hate-like their trip, book yours with hotels.com and get rewarded basically everywhere. hotels.com. be there. do that. get rewarded.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my first guest tonight is the democratic governor of montana and candidate for president of the united states. please welcome governor steve bullock! ( cheers and applause ) welcome to the show. >> it's great to be with you. >> trevor: what a time to be running for president. ( laughter ) >> "the hunger games," what is it at this point? >> trevor: it feels like that. there were 24, 25, i think five dropped out, so we're still at too many.

( laughter ) but you are still confidently running in this race with a platform that many have said is different to what you see from the other candidates. what do you think separates you? >> yeah, i think i am the only one in this field that actually won a trump state. donald trump took montana by 20. i was reelected by four. 25 to 30% of my voters actually voted for donald trump. that's also being if the core of the word progressive is really making progress, but it will make meaningful progress from education, protecting civil liberties to protect ago woman's right to make hong kong decisions to make a real move toward kicking dark money out of our elections. ( cheers and applause ) and i've done this the whole time with a legislature that's about 60% republican. so we have to show that we can get things done. i've also taken on what i think is the biggest threat to all of us and this is really the corrupting influence of money in our overall system. so i think i bring things geographically different, i'm

the only governor left in this hunger game. generationally different and, you know, being off the coast, with all due respect, isn't a bad position to be outside of washington, d.c. >> trevor: let's talk about the why. why do you think it is that somebody could vote for you with those progressive policies and turn around and also vote for donald trump. it seems like a paradox. >> for one thing, montana is the geographic size of japan. it's the fourth largest state in the country. i was growing up in the early '80s. 90% of 30-year-olds back then were doing better than their parents at age 30. today it's only half. there are a whole lot of folks who say this economy is not working for us, democrats seem a little elitist and not showing up and listening to challenges. so folks disagreed with a whole lot of things i stood for but they also knew i gave a damn about their life and would do everything possible to try to make their life better. >> trevor: do you think that's the rift in the democratic party now is this idea that they don't

have to listen or there's an elitist view? is that what might be hurting the democratic party when it comes to those swing votes? >> i think there's a challenge. back then, a guy ran for president and said when democrats organize a firing squad, we do it in a circle, we're good at shooting at one another. >> trevor: right. >> but i do think, look, i actually went to law school here in new york, i went to columbia law school, ended up having to pay off $175,000 of debt in today's terms. it impacted what i could do along the way, so, yeah, we have to make sure that college is affordable. we have to make sure that everybody has a path. but when 68% of americans don't even have a two-year college degree, have no degree, and all we're talking about is those folks who went to college, sometimes i think that there is a disconnect where folks are saying, what are you going to do to help my life bet g better? then they look to washington, d.c., right? and it's not worrying about them that you look at it that whoever cleans up this place tonight

paid more in taxes than 60 fortune 500 companies. folks, it's not working. donald trump said he'd have your back. he doesn't. he helped out stock buybacks. he said, we'll drain the swamp, it's swampier today than it ever was! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: so, you know, you have a grasp of these ideas. you understand the legislative side of fixing the problems, but you've specifically said you don't want to run as a senator. you know, people have said, okay, forget the presidential race. why not help the democrats win the senate race? that's going to make a bigger change. but you've said i want to be an executive. what do you think the big difference is between being a politician or being in a position like a governor or the president or mayor who's more executive in his decision making. >> i have to get shit done. sorry, we shouldn't say that on cable television.

>> trevor: that's okay. you don't expect to hear that. >> meaning i can't go out and say here's my plan, it's just a press release, i can't give speeches. i see people when they're struggling with healthcare, when i bring my son to a grocery store, somebody brings up an issue. it can't even be about the partisan food fight. you have to meaningfully impact people's lives. as governor of montana, when you look at everything of, boy, i'm commander-in-chief of national guard, i've sent people on their fourth or fifth deployment overseas or when you look at college afocialght, i froze college tuition. we have the fourth lowest tuition fees in the nation, we want to make sure it's affordable. so as executive you have to deal with all the things that come through your desk every day and i think i bring a different perspective. >> trevor: seem like a focused man. good luck in the rest of the raissments governor steve bullock, everybody, we'll be

mixed race child in a much earlier time in america. >> the '80s. >> trevor: you know what's interesting about that feeling and that time is being mixed race comes with a really interesting narrative in america. >> it does, different where you're from. >> trevor: definitely, you obviously had the one drop ruly you're black immediately but people are, like, sometimes i don't feel black or people tell me i'm not black enough. >> or what is black. >> trevor: how does black count. is that right for comedy? >> sure, just like the subject matter on "black-ish." if you've list the things we've done as stories on "black-ish," you wouldn't think it's a comedy. >> trevor: right. >> but i think the things we go through as humans can be very funny. "mixed-ish" is the story of how i came to be as bo johnson but it's a story of a fish out of water which all of us experience in many ways. the beauty of it when you're telling a mixed story is you have two different experiences, heheritages, worlds, and how do you define yourself.

and i think a lot of us experience that whether it's you have two different races or heritages you come from but when you feel other than. that's interesting to navigate when looking at the binary worlds of the '80s. >> trevor: have you ever felt other than? >> all the time. >> trevor: you came into this world, diana ross' daughter and i feel like you're in the mix all the time. it was the '80s!

>> curly, coily, tighter textures. filled with ingredients that are healthy and safe for your hair, ingredients that nourish your hair, that i don't know if you are somebody with this kind of hair, you know you want slippage, you want clumping, you want curl activation. >> trevor: wow. >> you want hydration, and moisture. i hear a lot of mm-hmm, mm-hmm, p mmm. that's what you want, trevor. i think you could use the leave-in conditioner. not saying you need it. >> trevor: i need it. i'm going to come on "the daily show" with curls coming out of my hair. these are my curls! i love the sound. congratulations on the show and on being a kick-ass everything. >> oh, you're kind.
