11:00 pm
>> [muffled speech] [phone rings] [muffled] michael scott paper company. [laughs] >> 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! thank you! thank you! let's make a show! take a seat, everybody! i'm trevor noah! our guest tonight was just crowned miss universe 2019, south africa's very own zozibini tunzi is joining us, everyone!
11:01 pm
( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: also on tonight's show, pirates are stealing christmas. why black people hate therapy and the mona lisa has an evil twin. let's catch up on today's headlines. ♪ let's kick it off with the major news that is shaking up the art world. for a century, the mona lisa has been considered one of the most important paintings of all time, but now we're learning it may only be half as special as we thought. >> there is only one mona lisa, right? well maybe not. this morning what might be another mona lisa, if it turns out to be a real mona lisa, it could be worth half a billion dollars. this controversial other portrait, so similar to leonardo da vinci's masterpiece has long sparked intense debate. is it just a copy or an earlier version finished by da vinci himself? >> the minute i saw his work, i was really blown away. it took me five minutes and i was convinced. >> trevor: it took you five
11:02 pm
minutes and you were convinced? maybe take ten minutes or 15 before you shake history? what's your rush? lake maybe if you had take more than 5 minutes, you would have noticed the new mona lisa is wearing airpods, huh? ( laughter ) because you realize, if true, this story is huge. two mona lisas -- mona lisees, lisai -- any way you spell it, it's huge, people treated paintings in the 16th century like we do today, i feel like this picture needs a filter, let's go to valencia! ( laughter ) global warming, every day we move closer and closer tune all-out climate emergency, if you're worried leaders aren't up to the challenge, you're right. >> the dire warning after the
11:03 pm
united nations climate talks come to an end in madrid, very little action even though evidence of climate change saul around. >> the world struggled to respond to the crisis at on climate summit in madrid. >> we are a little confused about what documents are being discussed. >> we are starting to get a little lost. >> we are kind of lost. >> these are the warning signs our climate is in trouble. 200-foot flames this weekend raced across the australian outback. in sydney, the smoke is so bad it's like smoking 32 cigarettes a day. green negreenland is losing icen times faster than in the '90s. the warnings are there but who is listening? >> trevor: are you shitting me? the world is falling apart and leaders at the u.n. couldn't agree on what to do? yeah, we don't know where the papers are, i'm sorry, we're a little confused (french accent ). from now on, climate meetings should be held on a melting glacier, get some motivation,
11:04 pm
they'll figure that shit out! ( applause ) as much as we're disappointed at how slow our leaders are to act, i think it's movies we should blame for making us think leaders are decisive in the first place, you watch arm tbedden, sir, an astroid is headed to earth! get me blues willis and the good not good at being batman and let's go! in real life, sir, an astroid is coming to earth! are we calling it an astroid or a comet? we need a committee. is it a committee or a panel? i'm lost... ( laughter ) this is serious, the earth is getting hotter, the oceans are getting hotter, kumail is getting hotter, would you have to stop this madness! finally, entertainment news, amazon is producing a "lord of the rings" tv show, and if you think you don't have the looks for hollywood, this casting call might change your mind. >> if you are hairy, toothless,
11:05 pm
extremely tall, extremely short, you could be an extra in the new "lord of the rings" series. the new amazon show is based on the mythical land of middle earth and begins production in new zealand next year. an add from one to have the two local talent agencies hoping with the search said it was looking for people with among other things missing teeth and wonderful noses. >> trevor: missing teeth and wonderful noses, sounds less like a casting decision and more like their makeup artist quit. now they're just, like, anybody we cast has to come already ugly, all right? we gonna do this? i know they say this is for the show, but this might be a trap for tricking people into working in amazon's warehouses. i'm here for the audition! all right, take the playstation and put with it in a box again and again and again. what does this have to do with lord o"lord of the rings"? yeah, they're doing playstations now. it's a thing. ( laughter ) if you think you can play a
11:06 pm
georgia dwarf or hobbit, good. but they gave this part to rudy giuliani. yeah, he's got it. he's got it, already. sméagol. that's going to mess the story up because he's going to be this the story in lord of the rings. we're going to find the ring! and he will be, like, and dirt on joe biden! that's it for the headlines, let's move on to our top story. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: the holiday season is finally upon us and you know what that means -- family, decorations and an old man breaking into your house while the children are asleep. i still don't understand how that's legal, but, unfortunately, for a lot of people, christmas can also be a tough time emotionally. >> they call it the most wonderful time of the year, but the holidays can also bring boatloads of stress. >> believe it or not, there is such a thing as festive stress.
11:07 pm
>> holidays are typically the bibusiest time of year for mental health professionals. >> 64% of people have stress and anxiety in the holidays. >> trevor: yes, think about it, you see your whole family and they're either not elogy doing well or all doing better than you. either way, it sucks. people can book more time with their therapist but unfortunately that's not an option for everyone and it's especially challenging for black people. let's find out why that is in another installment of "if you don't know, now you know." ( cheers and applause ) there are a few groups who could stand to benefit from therapy more than black people. think about all the things black people have been through -- slavery, segregation, winter -- all equally traumatic experiences, but, unfortunately, even as therapy has become more
11:08 pm
mainstream, the black community has had a tough time getting the help that they need. >> it's hard enough to get mental health treatment in the u.s. but studies show racial and ethnic minorities are significantly less likely to receive mental health treatment than whites. >> black and hispanic children are less likely to get mental health care than white kids. >> studies show irritability in the average white teenager is often labeled as depression. that same behavior is more likely to be seen as disruptsive in black and latino children and doctor say that can lead to feels of hopelessness at a young age. >> trevor: one of the reasons black people don't get proper treatment is misdiagnosis. what is seen as depression in white people can be seen as disruptive behavior in black people. this shouldn't be surprising. this happens in medicine all the time, missed diagnoses. when a black person has a seizure, it's a medical emergency, when a white person does it it's called dancing.
11:09 pm
( laughter ) it turns out, even when black people are properly diagnosed with mental health issues, it can still be a challenge to find a therapist who is equipped to handle their needs. >> making the crisis worse, not enough african-american therapists. today only 4% of psychologists are black. >> kevin said admitting he needed help was easier than finding it. he saw three different therapists but felt none of them understood the stresses and emotions unique to black men. >> when henson's son marcel was struggling, she found it nearly impossible to find him one. >> trying to find a culturally competent therapist was like looking for a purple unicorn with a cold horn. >> do they understand the context i'm coming from, the culture i live in? >> trevor: it's extremely difficult for black people to find a black therapist. it's been this way for a long
11:10 pm
time. that's why martin luther king, jr. was describing his dreams to huge crowds. he was, like, i was having another dream that i'm being chased by bears in my underwear! does anyone here know what that means?! ( laughter ) now may think a therapist's race shouldn't matter, but if you think about it, it does make sense. for many white therapists, no matter how good they, are it can be hard to understand the particular experiences of a black person. sitting in a session even if they are trying, they say, so if you say people are following you around the story and you're invisible but only to taxi drivers? hmm... paranoid delusions. so when it comes to mental health, there's a struggle for black people to access mental health care, find a therapist and get to them. another major hurdle stopping black people from getting therapy and it comes from the black community itself. >> we have a stigma in the black
11:11 pm
community when it comes to dealing with mental health. >> black students say where they come from it's shameful to talk about anxiety, depression and trauma. >> it's not okay to have mental health issues. or that's a white people think. >> black men don't go to therapy, they go to the barbershop. >> my mother said, what you need to do is see a preacher. >> you got jesus, you don't need anything else, just buck it up. >> trevor: yeah, that's a line every black person knows all too well. you don't need therapy, you need jesus! my response is why not both? church is good for community, but therapy is good for one on one mental health needs. i bet jesus himself wished he could have gone to therapy at times. so my best friend betrayed me and i was born in a freakin' barn plus my birthday always falls on christmas, aonly get one set of presents.
11:12 pm
so part of the problem is there's a major stigma in the black community around therapy, and, honestly, i can understand why many black people would rather deal with problems at church, it's a familiar place for us, you trust the people be there andeth a fun atmosphere. therapy doesn't seem fun, church is cool. i get it. i was thinking maybe that's one way we could help solve the therapy crisis. we need to make therapy a little bit more like black church, and i think it would be pretty dope. >> i don't know, it's just really hard for me to let people in and i feel like it's probably because every time i show affection it just feels like weakness. >> mm-hmm. did y'all hear that? did y'all hear what brother jaboukie just said right here? brother jaboukie said that he can't show affection because it feels like weakness. but before we can understand what hurt us, you've got to understand who hurt us. who hurt you, brother jaboukie?
11:13 pm
>> oooh, wow, wow, i would probably say my father, because he was really emotionally distant. but then so was his father, which is probably where he got it from. >> the sins of the father -- ♪ -- passed down -- ♪ -- from generation to generation -- ♪ -- and what will break this cycle other than a reflective analysis of the ego's hold on your psyche. i need to self-actualize. >> trevor: self actualize! ♪ self actualize ♪ selfe self actualize. >> trevor: he's going to empower himself ♪ ♪ overcome his demons >> trevor: confront his functional avoidance of intimacy ♪ ♪ he didn't go to prom ♪ he didn't go to prom ♪ he didn't go to prom
11:14 pm
>> now, we're out of time. we can pick this up next week. >> right. thank you so much. i've just been going through a lot and it was really helpful to talk -- ( clearing throat ) >> sorry, it should be a comfort i have blue cross. >> son, the only cross in my network is jesus. ( organ music ) >> trevor: hallelujah! we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) manolo! it's so cold, come in! what's wrong? it's dry. your scalp? mine gets dry in the winter too. try head & shoulders dry scalp care. it nourishes the scalp and keeps you up to 100% flake-free. head & shoulders dry scalp care
11:15 pm
11:16 pm
11:17 pm
oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, bublé sparkling water. it's buble! ♪ not much, how about you? >>are you answering my text in person?
11:18 pm
i am...yeah. >>lol. come on in. this is tech that helps you be there. the nissan altima. now offering the most tech-advanced engine in its class. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." with the rise of online retailers, seems like everything is getting delivered to our doorstep. last year my cousin was pregnant and her baby showed up in an amazon envelope. they saved on hospital bills and free shipping. but if you're one of the millions of people waiting for a holiday package to be delivered to you, watch out, because some assholes are coming to town. >> faster than they arrive, packages can disappear. tonight pomp pirates are striking across the country just as a record number of deliveries are being made. captured on camera but not always caught by police, the "new york times" says nationwide
11:19 pm
more than 1.7 million packages are stolen or go missing every day. 90,000 in new york city alone, an astonishing $25 million in lost goods and services across the country. >> trevor: sweet lord! 2 million packages stolen a day! 90,000 in new yorkalone! i mean, i only steal like two or three a week, but i guess it adds up! ( laughter ) by the way, why is the news calling them pomp pirates? these people just steal shit. that's just called thief. ( laughter ) don't be making people sound cooler than they are. oh, i'm a walgreen's pirate. no, you're a shoplifter! ( laughter ) a real porch pirate would attack your porch with a crew and take it over. yeah, the house would still be yours but every morning you would have to swash buckle your way to the car. aaahhh! aaahhh! aaahhh! i'm out. igor got my phone!
11:20 pm
aaahhh! aaahhh! aaahhh! you win this time, steve, but we'll see you when the sun sets. actually, i have a lot of work, i'm going to be home late. aaahhh! your marriage is suffering. the other day your son called me dad! ( laughter ) but no matter what you call them, stolen packages are clearly an epidemic and the police have come up with novel solutions to fight this crime. >> the rampant theft has sheriffs don't in washington county oregon going on offenses, planting fake packages on front steps to cash criminals and deter criminals. >> they use gps and cell phone owe to track it down. >> in one, operation front porch. instead of risking theft, you have your packages sent to the police station for pickup. >> we store and categorize and we ask you to pick it up three
11:21 pm
days. >> trevor: a place to keep your packages safe so people can pick them up? my man, you just invented a store. ( laughter ) don't get me wrong, it's nice that the police are helping, but i'll be honest, i think the police already have too many jobs in america. they have to solve crimes, direct traffic, find shelter for the homeless, do shelter work, answer ladies calling 911, and working retail, too. you have cops coming up to your window, sir, do you know why i pulled you over? uh... because we've got these new boots you love! ( applause ) police are doing what they can, but in many cases you want to call animal control as well. >> a los angeles home owner can rest easy after learning who was stealing packages from his front door. it was this guy. a sneaky squirrel was caught in the act grabbing an amazon package and dragging it away.
11:22 pm
appears the porch thief has been active. he finds packages in the bushes around the apartment complex. >> trevor: i bet you thought it would be like a raccoon because they look like criminals with the mask but that's profiling. statistically, squirrels and raccoons steal at the same rate but no one suspects the squirrels because of cute privilege. ( laughter ) it's funny because the squirrel throws the package away in the push. it's like they're hoping for accordance and get disappointed. damn it! another iphone. some day you will have to buy accordance, it's all anybody eats! ( laughter ) when you're having gifts delivered this holiday season, please keep an eye on your packages, and if you forget to buy someone a gift, at least now you have the perfect excuse, arrrr! it was the porch pirate, arrrr!
11:23 pm
we'll be right back! ( cheers and applause ) i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. climate is the number 1 priority. i would declare a state of emergency on day 1. congress has never passed an important climate bill, ever. this is a problem that continues to get worse. i've spent a decade fighting and beating oil companies... stopping pipelines... stopping fossil fuel plants, ensuring clean energy across the country. how are we going to pull this country together? we take on the biggest challenge in history, we save the world and do it together.

miss universe. please welcome miss universe 2019, zozibini tunzi! ( cheers and applause ) ♪ >> this is so cool! thank you! >> trevor: welcome to the show! >> thank you! wow! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: wow! this is amazing. >> i know! i should come here every night. it's amazing. >> trevor: you should come here every night. come hang out every single night. congratulations. >> thank you, trevor, thank you. >> trevor: miss universe, has its sunk in yet? >> i don't think so. it's almost a week now, and i think i'm getting used to it because at first people would be, like, miss universe and i would just continue going, it's not me. >> trevor: miss universe, you dropped something!
11:28 pm
jupiter! please! miss universe! ( laughter ) it is a surreal experience because you won miss south africa and you go on this journey to compete for miss universe and, i mean, you know, it's amazing women from all around the world, the competition has evolved over the years to become more about, like, what the women are thinking as well as how you look and what you want to do in the world. so it is a challenging experience ton on what was this journey like for you? >> it's been interesting since i won south africa that i would be doing miss universe as well. but it was incredible the support i got from back home but challenging as well because i had a new look that people were not used to and, so, i got crowned and i got a lot of different responses, but i was quite excited about it regardless of what was happening. >> trevor: that was a big thing, especially for you, and i think so many people who saw you being crowned miss universe, it was a moment where many people -- and this is what interested me, i was proud as a south african, i was proud as
11:29 pm
someone who has grown up on the continent, but what really got me was how universally, i mean, for our planet, many people said to see a dark-skinned woman to win an accolade like this, but to see a woman with natural hair win this with her natural hair. ( cheers and applause ) and that's what a lot of people -- that's what a lot of people initially wanted you to change. people were, like, why don't you get a weave? you're beautiful but why don't you straighten your hair? that must have been a chasmght why didn't you straighten your hair or ware a weave? >> because this is my hair. ( cheers and applause ) i don't think anyone tells other people to put on a weave, so why should i, you know. at first people are, like, was this a strategy? i'm, like, to what? to wake up and be myself? ( laughter ) you know, i was, like, no,ist not a strategy, i've had, you know, short hair for three years, and i wasn't going to change because i was now stepping into a beauty platform
11:30 pm
because then that means i don't think my hair is beautiful if i'm going to change it, and, so, i decided to keep it. >> trevor: you kept it. everyone's happy that you kept it. ( cheers and applause ) what are you most looking forward to? what are you excited to cleave? what do you just want to do in this period of your reign. >> one thing i always say is i don't want to feel like when i step out of this crown that it was wasted. i want to be responsible with it b, and now i have a platform. i have 2.5 million people -- thank you -- following me. ( cheers and applause ) yeah, so i want to use that platform in what i want to do, it must be purposeful work. >> trevor: you're wearing a beautiful crown and dress and people are, like, wow this has always been you but part of the reason many south africans are proud is because to have the story that came before your victories. you came from humble beginnings. >> yes, i come from a village in the eastern cape -- yeah, someone says yeah like they have
11:31 pm
been there. ( laughter ) yeah, they com -- yeah, i come m a village. you know where. the eastern cape is one of the most impoverished places of the country. while i was fortunate enough to have a mother who was a school principal and a dad who worked, at least i was able to go to school, but things are quite different for people who grew up there and it's quite difficult to make it out of there. and i think because i grew up there and people saw me growing up there now, i'm miss universe, it adds like an element of hope to people who feel like they couldn't have been able to do it before. >> trevor: it's hope not just for those people but for people who look like you, people who don't, people with natural hair, people who want to be inspired. that's what you do. thank you so much. >> thank you ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: zozibini tunzi, everybody! we'll be right back! thank you very much!
