pack your things. you're done. >> 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 and thank you for coming out! thank you so much for coming out in the snow, people! let's make a show! i'm trevor noah. our guest tonight is one of the people who helped defeat and save the universe we'll talk

about waters waters, mark ruffalo is here, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) horses can now fly. how whales can fight terrorists and joe biden is time traveling. let's catch up on today's headlines. ♪ let's kick it off with thanksgiving weekend. it's a stressful holiday and not just because your racist uncle is listening to kanye now, it's also because traveling is a nightmare and yesterday the nightmare got worse. not only was it the busiest day in air travel history but the weather canceled flights. luckily, there's a new way to help you calm down. >> the f.a.a. recently cleared miniature horses to flievment but what's it like to have a horse on board? we joined a woman and her horse as they took a flight. >> today is a big day. he understandly is going on a trip with her service animal a horse. that's right, a horse.

he understandly is allergic to dogs, so she bonded with her horse, which she has named flirty. huh-oh, flirty sets off a security alarm. the airline require that she sit in the bulkhead. it sure was a tight fit. the hour and a half flight had some minor turbulence but flirty handled it like an experienced traveler. get this, not one passenger complained. >> trevor: yes, for the first time in history, a miniature horse was allowed on a plane as an emotional support animal. how come the more advanced america gets the more it looks like a third world country? because in the rest of the world, we do this, we bring animals on the bus all the time, and then americans judge us, they're, like, so filthy! but then americans start doing it and they're, like, oh, no, you see, that horse is a psychiatrist. ( laughter ) and by the way, i always think to myself, someone on that plane probably took an ambien right

before the horse boarded and they probably felt like they were ha hallucinating, like, whaaaa! i feel bad for the people forced to check their carry on because the airline said it was too big and then the airline brings on a horse. i'm sorry, no room for your baggage on the plane. what about seabiscuit? ( laughter ) what's funny is because it's an emotional support animal, you can't complain. you can't complain it's blocking your leg room because you look like an asshole. you can only sit there and do that passive aggressive thing that white people do where they say nothing but very expressively like, whew -- ( laughter ) , no, no everything's fine, everything's fine. i think it's cool that airlines allow you to bring a horse on the plane, although when you try it on spirit airlines, you're

like oh great you brought your own meal. you eat what you can kill. ( laughter ) in london a terrorist armed with a knife attacked a group of people gathered on london bridge. t whey didn't count on the good samaritans that took him down. >> terror takedown in london shows two heroes using unconventional weapons to stop the suspect on a deadly stabbing spree. >> heroes look back, one even using the tusk of a whale. >> they used fire extinguishers, chairs, tusks ripped off the wall in a heated moment and they were determined it wouldn't go on and did what they had to do. >> trevor: they fought a terrorist with a chair, fire extinguisher and a whale tusk? this is what happens when a country doesn't have any guns. all violence turns into a home alone movie. even terrorists are, like, death to the west!

toy race cars, aaahhh! apparently, this part of the story is crazy. the tusk was mounted on the wall of a restaurant and the chef grabbed it, ran into the street to come and fight. he's lucky the wall had a tusk mounted on it and not a singing fish. it would be, like, die you, i.s.i.s. scum! take me to the river! sorry. seriously, though, the people who fought off the terrorists were heroes. i think it takes guts to be a hero especially these days because when you get famous everyone will go through your tweets. i bet there were people at the bridge who wanted to help but they had to delete their tweets. oh, that one's still funny, i'll save it. ha ha ha. ( laughter ) president trump is embarking to great britain to represent the united states at the summit. he probably heard about this. >> the new poll shows the majority of republicans think

president donald trump is a better president than abraham lincoln. the economist you governor poll show 47% think abraham lincoln is better, and people pick trump over every president in the poll except ronald reagan. >> trevor: republicans like trump more than lincoln! and knowing some republicans, that makes sense, you know, they're, like, lincoln was a great president, except for one thing he did. you know what i'm talking about. i'm talking about the chin strap beard! come on! i prefer a clean shaven man! the news reports it look it's good. but if 53% of republicans prefer trump to lincoln, that means 47% of republicans are, like, hey, even a dead guy would do better than. this you might think it's weird to compare trump to lincoln.

they both did great things, abraham lincoln freed the slaves and trump freed rudy giuliani from air 51. let's move on to the top story. ( cheers and applause ) the presidential race. there are major developments going on in the democratic primary and i'm not just talking about cory booker changing his name to karaka booker. let's catch up with ourion going segment world war d. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: there are now just 336 days until the 2020 presidential election, and although the democrats still don't know who their contender will be, they do know who their contender won't be. joe and steve bullock announced they're both dropping out of the race. i know. this is huge because now it

means all the other democrats can pick up their supporter. ( laughter ) but even with those two dropping out, there are still 16 candidates left in this race because every time you see a democrat quits, more democrats jump in. getting rid of democratic candidates is like shaving an old man's back hair. it grows back twice as thick. i owed someone money. it was a thing. the newest hair on the back of the democratic party is none other than michael bloomberg, former mayor of new york and world's richest lord of the rings extra. after entering the race only last week, he's already making a big impression. >> there's another big shakeup in the democratic presidential race after months of speculation. michael bloomberg made it official over the weekend he has thrown his hat into the 2020 race. >> after months of speculation, the former new york mayor announcing his candidacy in a video sunday, a part of a $35 million media blitz. >> launched the campaign with the single largest political

advertising buy in u.s. history, spending more than $30 million on ads that touted his record as mayor of new york. >> trevor: wowvment michael bloomberg has already bought more tv ads in one week than anyone in history. i guess those are the perks of being a billionaire but he's got to be careful because tv ads are a great way for getting noticed but too many tv ads can turn people against you. yeah. like the first time i saw that cars for kids ad, i thought it was cute. and now my life's mission is to destroy that organization. ( laughter ) every day, ( ( singing ) ofaaahhh! don't get me wrong, kids should be given cars but it's on tv all the time! that's what could happen with bloomberg. 30 million. if you're in one of the states he's floating with ads, that's all you will see on tv. i'm michael bloomberg.

change the channel. it's me, michael bloomberg. something new this month at subway -- it's me, michael bloomberg! ( laughter ) while michael bloomberg is make news with how much he's spending observe ads, pete buttigieg, mayor of south bend, indiana and kid who asks for more homework is getting attention for what he's seeing in his ads. >> pete buttigieg has a new position on an ad airing in iowa about education. >> i believe we should move to make college affordable for everyone. some voices are saying it doesn't count unless you go further, unlessettes free for kids and millionaires. >> ocasio cotees tweeted this is a g.o.p. talking point used to dismantle public systems and it's sad to see a dem candidate aproperty. >> trevor: pete, you're in trouble. pete buttigieg says he supports

free public college but it shouldn't apply to rich people's kids and, in response, rich people said, what the (~bleep ) is a public college? is it like a public toilet? i think i've heard of those. ( laughter ) this ad is getting a lot of backlash because buttigieg has drawn crit tim from the progressive wing of his party because they argue if the government provides a service, it should be available to all citizens like a public library doesn't ask how rich are before they let you in to master bait. it's what it's there for. kamala harris' campaign is headed in the opposite direction. >> senator kamala harris presenting herself as a choice to beat president trump. the "new york times" reports her campaign is in turmoil, obtaining a resignation letter from a top harris aide who wrote

"this is my third presidential campaign and i have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly. that aid, ought the times, jumping on to mayor michael bloomberg's time." >> trevor: bloomberg! i guess those ads worked on one person. but kamala harris' campaign is struggling. some say it's because she doesn't have a clear message. others say it's because she put her sister in charge of the campaign. that makes sense. you should never mix business and family unless you're a plumber in which case you have to involve family. a tip, if a plumbing company name doesn't end in "& sons" or & brothers, you can't trust them. something bad happened in that family, you stay away. one democrat seems immune to campaign gaffs and that's joe biden. he's still the favorite nationally and even bought himself a sweet new ride. >> today in iowa, the joe biden campaign bus on an eight-day,

18-county tour of the first caucus date trying to rev up his lagging poll numbers. his new ride branded in biden speak, as the no malarkey tour. he says to contrast president trump. >> he's calling it the no malarkey bus tour. >> the bus tour comes as joe biden went viral this weekend when he was caught nibbling on his wife's finger at a campaign stop. >> trevor: no biting, joe! don't make me get the spray bottle, stop that! ( laughter ) i actually think this is a cute moment between a couple. but it would be cuter at home instead of the middle of a rally. that makes it weird. like nibbling your wife's fingers. it's all about context. and also is joe biden's slogan really going to be no malarkey? that's your slogan? yes, we can! make america great again!

no malarkey? ( laughter ) what does that word even mean? like it sounds like the dish your vegan cousin serves at thanksgiving. it's not turkey, it's malarkey. the main ingredient is mold, na namnamaste. michael bloomberg paid us $5 million to go to commercial break. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause )

have you ever worked with dr. francis? oh yeah, he's ok. just ok? guess who just got reinstated! well, not officially. nervous? yeah. yeah me too. don't worry about it, we'll figure it out. i'll see ya in there! just ok is not ok. at&t has america's best network, now with our best plans, at our best prices, starting at $35 a line for 4 lines. new from at&t.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." before the break, we talked about joe biden and his "no malarkey" bus tour, which unless you're over the age 80 is a term you've definitely had to google. for more on this, we turn to our very own michael kosta, everybody! who's actually in iowa! ( cheers and applause ) following the no malarkey bus tour. michael, you're on the road with the bus. doesn't the slogan no malarkey make biden seem a little dated and out of touch? >> that's a load of horse

feathers, trevor. that slogan is the cats pajamas, see. anyone who says different is screwy in the noodle, yeah. ( laughter ) >> trevor: michael, why are you talking like that? >> i have to, trevor, mnyneah. everyone on the no malarkey bus is required to talk old timey. so get on the troll or they'll take you behind the soda shop and give you the old one two buckle the shoe. >> trevor: what does that mean? >> i don't know, maybe a sex thing? ( laughter ) >> trevor: old timey slang isn't going to connect with young voters. >> phooey, trevor. sounds like to me you're hopped up on the moon juice, the gilg sauce, mike's hard lemonade. >> trevor: i don't think that last one was -- forget it. costa, what if joe's strategy of

old time real guy doesn't work out? >> what are you nutty? these biden guys ain't no palookas. if old timey slang doesn't work, they'll just go further back in time. ( laughter ) for soothe! may happens the language of the barge catapult lord biden to columbia's fair district. dost thousand comprehend the moves or does it pass through the dark skin of a moore? >> trevor: did you say i don't understand politics because i'm black? >> it's not me, it's my character. >> trevor: okay, michael, well, my character's going to cut your christmas bonus this year. >> oh, shucks, boss! all the old talk got my head topsy turvy, i didn't mean anything buy it. >> trevor: get out of here you

of millions of americans during the recession. so, my wife kat and i took action. we started a non-profit community bank with a simple theory - give people a fair deal and real economic power. invest in the community, in businesses owned by women and people of color, in affordable housing. the difference between words and actions matters. that's a lesson politicians in washington could use right now. i'm tom steyer, and i approve this message. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is an academy award mom no nateing actor who produces and stars in the new film "dark waters." >> shea should pay for what

they've done. >> you're right, they should, and it kills me that they won't, but that would mean going to trial and proving that c.a. killed your cows, and every scientist who knows anything about any of this already works for these chemical companies. that's not an accident, earl. earl, these -- these companies, they have all the money, all the time, and they'll use it, trust me. i know, i was one of them! >> you're still one of 'em. >> you -- you can't be serious. >> trevor: please welcome mark ruffalo. ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> trevor: welcome to the show. so good to have you.

>> so nice. >> trevor: this is amazing. >> they don't do that when i go home. >> trevor: that would be creepy if they followed you home cheering as you were just walking home. welcome to the show. >> thanks. great to be here. i love you and what you do. >> trevor: thank you, man. i love what you do. >> you're great, your intellect, it's really great. >> trevor: this is about you. welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> trevor: congratulations on everything. i feel like, you know, you were always known because you're an amazing actor, but with the avengers, it's such a monumental event, like, life changes overnight. did it change even more when, now, you were, like, intelligent hulk? because before there was, like, no, now there was like a shift. there was hulk and banner, so you had the separation. so hulk was cool and then you that did the scientist and then you became intelligent hulk. >> yes. >> trevor: kids must be like -- >> bulk, banner hulk. >> trevor: bulk. >> yeah. >> trevor: did you feel that

change? >> it was huge. it was -- ( laughter ) it was smarntd huge. ( laughter ) >> trevor: this movie, i feel like, is a depture for you but, at the same time, in many ways, it's the same thing. you are playing a real-life hero in this movie "dark waters." it's the story of a lawyer who really stumbles upon a story of a chemical company that's pollute ago piece of land that's killing people, killing livestock and it's one of the crazy stories. what's even more crazy about it is it's true. how did you even stumble upon this? >> it was actually a -- it was in the "new york times" magazine by nathaniel rich, and it was an article called the lawyer that became dupont's worst nightmare. >> trevor: right. >> and i read it, and i couldn't believe it. it was a horror, and it was probably the biggest corporate crime and coverup in american

history that nobody knew about with a lawyer that had normally been someone who would defend chemical companies, was now in the place of actually defending this farmer that he knew growing up as a boy that insisd that his cows are being poisoned by dupont. >> trevor: when you read through it, you know, when you created this film, like, was there a part of you going, although the story seems absurd, it's almost normal? >> well, it felt like a story that we keep hearing again and again where a corporation knows that they're hurting their clients, that they're hurting the public. >> trevor: right. >> their science shows them that they're hurting the public, and they hide that science and they keep hurting the public anyway,

and i just saw it so beautifully told with this amazing guy robert bilott, the guy i play, and he's so humble and it's so well and thoroughly researched, that i thought, wow, this is -- first of all, this is a freaking horror story. >> trevor: right. >> but it's real, but it's also the story of how some legacy corporations in america are killing us, destroying us, willfully. they know they're doing that, and they're doing it simply to make a buck. >> trevor: you know, you play a hero in the story who really is like an on the ground hero who just works against a powerful organization to get justice for many of the people who have been harmed. what do you think inspires heroes like this? because he didn't have much to gain. in fact, he had everything to lose. >> so you have the heroes in the marvel movies, and they're the

heroes -- they're heroes because you want to be them, right? >> right. >> trevor: but then you have the heroes in the world that are heroes because you don't want to be them. >> trevor: wow. >> they're heroes because their journey is the one that a human being has to make that is, like, the difficult choices. >> trevor: mm-hmm. >> an that's what this man was, and what it ultimately was in him was a belief that, when people learn the truth, they'll do the right thing, and once he was on that road, it took him 20 years, he's still fighting it. >> trevor: right. >> but he really believes that people will do the right thing, an it's that part of him that i think kept him going. >> trevor: you end the film, and it's not one of the movies that the spoiler you need to worry about because it's a

beautiful, inspiring story and informative as well, but at the end of the film, it doesn't end with the regular happy ending. >> he doesn't drive away in an suv. >> trevor: right. the company was forced to pay $700 million, i believe in, fines for what they had done, but you choose to end the film with facts in and around how much people have been acted, how many people have been affected, how, you know, widespread this problem is, how many chemicals are in our bodies, how many poisons have been spread throughout the environment. why choose to end a film like that? everyone would say, no, end it in the flashy way you end the court case and drive off into the sunset. why would you choose to end it in that manner? >> that was a big discussion as film-makers, producers, our marketing and all that, but that's the reality we're living in, and what the film does is it asks us to take action. it doesn't give you a savior. we are our saviors.

we are the ones that we have been waiting for. there is no one person that's going to do this, and it's time for us now to do these things. ( applause ) >> trevor: if anyone watches this movie they definitely will be moved. "dark waters" will be in theaters everywhere december 6th. mark ruffalo, everybody. we'll be right back ( cheers and applause ) ♪
