r. kelly ruling came out? yeah, r. kelly found guilty. which i'm not going to lie to you, i don't know even know how to feel because i feel like wasn't he always guiltiy? have we not known about this shit for, like, 20 years? do you know what i mean? i'm like think about it, when was the "chappelle show," when were they doing i'm going to pee on you? that wasn't yesterday. the jury in the verdict, they came out, how do you find? duh... what's crazy to me is the fact that, in america, it feels like the justice system and the investigators and all of that are nothing compared to a good documentary. yeah, if you actually want to

see justice served in america, they should just make a documentary about a thing because then all of a sudden something happens, someone gets killed, ah, documentary, that person stands trial. murderer! >> coming to you from the heart of times square, the most important place on earth, it's "the daily show"! tonight, getting shot three times. the most popular song in america. and neal brennan! this is "the daily show" with trevor noah! >> trevor: hey! what's going on, everybody? welcome to "the daily show." i'm trevor noah. today is monday september 27. so let's kick things off with children. you know, they're why pill bottles are so damn hard to open. and turns out they're the hottest new mock for social media companies. but today one social network realized its new kids app had gotten a little too hot. >> we get started on this monday morning with an cliewftion

announcement from the head of instagram adam mosseri. earlier today adam said plans to create an instagram for kids, you might remember this, are being paused. that app was intended for children under age 13. >> this is a hot topic because instagram has come under scrutiny for the impact it has on our kids especially teenage girls. >> i want to be clear if anybody leaves instagram feeling worse about themselves that's an important issue we knead to figure out how to address. >> trevor: first of all, how are you in charge of instagram and just now realizing that it's bad for kids? that's like the mcdonald's c.e.o. being shocked to hear that the ice cream machine isn't working. since when? always! no one knows what a mcflurry tastes like, it's a myth! this is a bad idea. first of all, instagram kids is not the correct name, call it pedo bait. nobody wants to see foe dose of a kids' brunch.

what a fruit rollup and a juice box? sounds good. now i want a fruit rollup. my bigger question is who are these children with iphones? are you getting me? do you know what i had to play with when i was a kid? a rock. i played with a rock every day of my entire childhood and i turned out just find. just ask my girlfriend, this beautiful rock. no, really, not in front of the guys. you can't say that! anyway, as i was saying, i turned out fine. yeah, we're going to (~bleep~) later. yeah. next story, cryptocurrency, the main retirement plan for people who own pet snakes. although one of the most successful crypto investors may actually surprise you. >> so hamstring germany named will goth has been portraying a portfolio of a dozen crypt occurrenceys since june 4 and they have been expressive. in a rigged cage live streamed,

the hamster spins a wheel to pick a crypto and runs through a tunnel labeled buy or sell. as of friday his investments are up 24%, according to the twitter feed that documents the animal's daily performance. >> trevor: goddam, is it groundhog predict the weather got into a wrong business. the hamster has the same understanding of crypto as anyone else so why shouldn't it get rich? i feel bad for all the human crypto traders getting outperformed by a hamster. good numbers this corner, chad. but not mr. nibbles, he'll be getting your promotion, loserrer. not hating, congrats to the hamster. must be bittersweet to get that rich and die from a kid feeding you a cray yon. finally, let's talk ant the covid vaccine, the only thing required by restaurants, broadway theaters and and or or. you know how we're confused about who should get a booster

shot, what it actually is. the experts are just like us. >> a shot of confusion, rather than go with the booster recommendations to have the c.d.c.'s independent board of vaccine experts, president biden's top doctor at the c.d.c., the c.d.c. director agreed with the f.d.a., an expanded third shot eligibility to those working in high risk jobs such as people who work at grocery store and schools or frontline healthcare workers. the issue is not just about who should get boosters, it's ms about the confusion and possibly undermining the vaccine effort. >> trevor: yeah, it's kind of confusing when you have two sets of experts telling you two different things. you know. that's why i never go see a doctor for a second opinion. i just go straight to web md and what they say goes. so i have ovarian cysts, guys. because this is all very confusing around important for us to figure out, michael kosta has volunteered to help us

understand these complicated issues in a brand-new segment called underexplainer. ♪♪ >> boosters are here, and they could be a powerful weapon against covid. so let's get right to it with the basics. first, what's a boosterrer? great question. a booster is a shot of a vaccine that is not your first shot and in some cases not your second. to boost means to lift. i'll demonstrate. ball me! see, i'm boosting, or i'm lifting. now, to be clear, this is a basketball. it's not a booster shot. a basketball cannot be injected into is it bloodstream. next question, why do we need boosters? some studies have shown waning immunity over time. these studies were done by scientists studying people. also, the scientists were people as well but they were not in the study. that would be unethical. what are ethics? that's a topic for a different

underexplainer. another important question, what is the controversy about the boosters? the controversy stems from a debate between the white house, the f.d.a. and the c.d.c., specifically f.d.a. stands for food and drug administration, c.d.c. stands for centers for disease control and prevention, and the white house is where the president lives, the american president. finally the big question, who can get the booster? right now the booster is available for people in three categories -- those who live or work in an at risk setting the immunocompromised and over 65. over 65 is referring to the number of years you have been alive on earth. i hope that helps. for more information, log on to my web site which you can find on the web. booster! >> trevor: wow. what a waste of time. i think maybe just talk to your doctor. let's move on to the main story, abortion. it's the only word you can say

to telemarketers that will guarantee they hang up on you. the abortion debate in america is always simmering, but over the past couple of months, it started to boil yet again. >> tonight the house passing a bill aiming to guarantee a woman's right to choose, an attempt to establish a federal protection for choice as states approve strict new limits including texas where nearly all abortions have ended, it is unlikely to pass the senate. >> trevor: yeah, of course it's unlikely to pass in the senate, nothing passes in the senate! the senate is more backed up than me on an aggressive course on antibiotics and no i will not get the probiotics! it's a scam! if you iefer getting the anti-, you don't want the pro. why do they call it that? i'm not a doctor, i don't know. if the vote stands no chance to have passing the senate, why did democrats do it? basically a symbolic response to texas' new extreme abortion law which effectively bans abortion

after six weeks, which just so you understand is oftentimes before many women even know they're pregnant, and unlike the house vote that texas law isn't symbolic, it is having very real consequences. >> the fallout from the new antiabortion law in texas has been swift and for some women devastating. >> abortion providers in texas have started turning away patients. >> 70% of the people seeking boargdz care last week were turned away. >> this morning a texas doctor who admits defying the state's new abortion law is now facing two lawsuits which are the first known challenges under the constitutional law. >> it's not just providers, anyone who finances, counsels or transports patients can be sued for $10,000 or more. we're here at a planned parenthood clinic. i had to get here, i tried uber, live lyft, the ride was canceled three times. finally i changed the address --

changed it to the address instead of planned parenthood. that shows the impact of this law. >> trevor: wow, women can't even get an uber to the abortion clinic. that is insane and so horrible. and it must be pretty upsetting for the restaurant next door that all the women are pretending to get rides to. yee-haw! slice the cornbread boys, we got someone coming in for some barbecue! oh, no, wait, wait, wait... she just isn't ready to be a mommy. false alarm. but i get it, uber drivers don't want to get sued for where they drop someone off. i mean, if i was an uber driver in texas, i wouldn't even drop couples off after the club. i would be, like, no, you get off here, she's going home. i will not be responsible for what happens next! this law is terrifying if you think about it because now practically anyone can be sued

for being involved in an abortion in any way -- doctors can be sued, nurses can be sued, even uber drivers. i mean, shit, frank ocean better watch out because half the time it's his album playing during the moment of conception. obviously, the whole point of extreme abortion laws like texas' is to, you know, stop abortions. so it may be surprising to learn that they actually don't, and we'll tell you what actually happens when abortion is outlawed, in another installment of if you don't know, now you know. ♪♪ so what happens when a state bans abortions? do women suddenly go, well, if the state legislature wants me to have this baby, who am i to say no? no, they don't. instead, many women who want an abortion will be forced to go find one where it is legal. >> what we know is, when you ban abortion, it doesn't mean people

stop needing access and people won't go to more lengths to get the care that they need. >> cline, in less restrictive neighboring states have been inundated with phone calls from texas women seeking servings. >> comprehensive women's health has been inundated for calls from women in tax who want to come here even though it's located hundreds of miles from texas in denver, colorado. it's not just colorado seeing an increase. even with a 234-hour waiting period, this shreveport, louisiana clinic is booked at least three weeks out. >> what could happen is that more women may decide to travel to mexico. it's like kind of the opposite what used to happen, like a lot of women used to travel to the u.s. to have a safe and legal abortion. >> trevor: people, this is despicable, you shouldn't have to cross state lines to get a simple medical procedure performed. that's something people do when they're running from the law because they, like, i don't know, kidnap their ex's puppy

when she refuses to give them visitation rights. just because we broke up doesn't mean i can't see fluffy cay dan dray! that's the dogs' name. people may have to go to mexico for abortion. it sucks for the mexican doctors because they constantly have to hear american asking the docks for an abortion in spanish. you might be saying so what these women have to take an abortion road trip, what's the big problem? the big problem is like most american laws, this one disproportionately affects the poor. >> you know, if you're a wealthy woman and living in texas you can get on a plane, fly outside the states, you may have other options, but if you're a poor woman or boom or color you won't have those options. >> half of the people obtain an abortion already live below the port ofy level. when someone is already

struggling financially and they're denied care, it puts them in even tougher economic situation. >> trevor: yeah, for many poor women just leaving the state is not an option. especially when that state is texas. have you seen texas? it goes on forever. it's the ikea of states. and many antiabortion advocates are arguing that if you make abortion harder, it will make these women re-think the decision and decide to have the baby. but if you look back at what actually happened the last time abortion was legal, you will find when women are struck between a rock and hard place they take matters into their own hands. >> the illegal termination of pregnancy has reached epidemic proportions in this country. the laws which goferern abortion are broken an estimated 1 million times a year, 3,000 times a day for various medical, social and economic reasons the laws do not recognize as valid. the facts are astonishing. 350,000 women a year suffer

complications. >> the operation was performed in the kitchen of the motel using some of the kitchen equipment, using the telephone book and chairs. >> trevor: okay, i know that looks ancient because it's in black and white and square, but that wasn't actually that long ago. the last time abortion was outlawed in america, hundreds of thousands of women suffered complications each year with hundreds dying. and, yes, it is true, medicine has improved a lot since then. nowadays, if you want an abortion in secret there is a pill you can take in the privacy of your own home which is safer and easier than the old methods but, guess what? texas just banned that, too! so these supposedly pro-life laws will end up hurting a lot of women and probably killing some of them which is especially tragic because if pro-life lawmakers want to reduce abortion there are so many other ways they could do it by

supporting women instead of harming them. increase access to continue session, make it easier to raise children with better access to childcare and education and healthcare. they could make it so every kid comes with an ipad so if you don't like your kid at least you got an ipad. the point is they don't want to do any of that. they just want to say no abortions, problem solved. but that approach isn't going to end abortions. it will just move them somewhere else or make them more dangerous. if you don't know, now you know. when we come back, we look at how the "star spangled banner" became such a bop. don't go away. somewhere out west a lone river flows carving its way through time and if you were to find it you would taste, pure agave nectar and lime lone river ranch water

unusual laws doesn't protect fetuses, it protects a long. -- a song. >> and some new laws here in texas, 666 of them, to be exact. the so-called "star spangled banner" protection act requires professional sports teams with state government contracts to play the national anthem before every game. >> trevor: no, guys, come on, come on. it's not the government's job to mandate what songs are played where. i mean, except for "i got a feeling." you know, the constitution requires you play that at every wedding or the marriage is annulled. that's a thing. what's not a thing, the constitution -- when why do i hear it every goddam wedding? they have been playing it this whole time and no law? got me to wondering, how did the "star spangled banner" become such a hit to begin with? we got the genius who wrote the song to explain what it means and what makes it so great in the installment of the first segment of banger breakdown. >> yo,

this is your boy francis scott key, jr., mr. rocket red glare and this is the breakdown of the "star spangled banner." let's go. yo, before these young artists was making street anthems, there was me. i made the o.g. anthem, the national anthem. some songs are about falling in love, right, and some about hitting the dance floor. this song right here, this song, this is about me being surprised about seeing a flare. i knew it was going to be a hit but a national anthem? that's dope. i'm chilling off the coast in my boat because the british army captured me and forced me to quarantine. but anyway, i'm watching the british. they land the lammer down on my boys the americans, dumping on them with the canons, dumping on them with the muskets, bop, bop, bop, bop! i'm thinking, yo, this is a rap.

we getting washed, yo! about to be over for the americans. about to be eatings tea and crumpets and beans for breakfast and shit. the next morning, though? oh, shit... ♪ o say can you see by the dawn's early light ♪ ♪ what so proudly we hail ♪ talking about the american flag, and i wanted to capture that moment lyrically, that feeling, that sunrising coming up behind the stars and bars, the o.g. joint with the circle, right, i consider myself a lyrical artist, right. i'm not trying to write. ♪ oh canada ♪ ♪ and the rockets red glare ♪ ♪ the bombs bursting in air ♪ boss. you know what's really crazy, though, man? the glare of the rockets wasn't even red, it was orange. yeah, yeah. the glare of the rocket wasn't red it was orange, but orange didn't fit so i changed orange to red. that's the only tweak i made from what actually happened on that day.

look, i ain't trying to glorify violence or nothing like that, i'm just a dude who likes to paint pictures with his words. they was the ones shooting, i just captured it. about to come back. ♪ o say does that star spangled banner yet wave... ♪ star spangle banger! so i wanted to end strong for the troops. so o're the land of the free, that's us except for slaves and women, and the home of the brave, you know, that's america, we bravely genocided a whole people for this land. beauty of the "star spangled banner" is that no matter who sings it, it's still a song that makes you feel proud to be an american. does yankee doodle dandy do that? (~bleep~) no. man, it's a pain, man.

how could you kneel through this, man? >> trevor: thank you so much for that francis scott key, jr. all right, when we come back, the very funny neal brennan will be joining me on the show to talk about his brand-new off-broadway show. you don't want to miss it. the work is harder the sun is hotter the days are longer too but out west the ranch water tastes colder which makes it worth all that we do. lone river ranch water

know, be good to your black friends, it will pay off. ( laughter ) in bookings. >> trevor: let's talk about the show. >> please. >> trevor: you're back again off broadway. your first show "three mics," i was a huge fan. a lot of people love it, a success on netflix. everybody knows what stand-up is and i feel like your shows are like a hybridy it's stand-up but there's a lot of introspection, there's a lot of -- sometimes people will cry at your show in a good way and people will laugh and it's really vulnerable as well. new show, "unacceptable," same vibe? >> yeah, it's less organized. what was good about three mikes is now he's going to be funny. >> trevor: right. >> and now he's going to be really depressing, and they could prepare themselves. this is a little more

interwoven. it's basically about the ways in which i feel alone in the world. >> trevor: oh, wow. >> which i feel like you could probably relate to a little bit as well. no? >> trevor: you have to tell me which ways you feel alone before i agree with you. >> i wanted you to confess like a cop show where i give you the setup. >> trevor: all right, i feel alone in the world! i feel all comedians feel -- every comedian has an element of feeling alone. >> yeah. >> trevor:s in why you're a comedian. you watch the world and you think they think it's crazy and you think doesn't anyone else feel this? >> then we share it and feel less alone. >> trevor: people say we see what you mean. >> we're not going to join you in it, but we see what you mean. enjoy that isolation there, pal, but we're not going to -- yeah, the my things are, like, i'm not married, don't have kids, and

i'm -- you're not married and don't have kids. >> trevor: right. >> but people accept it from you because you're a nine and i'm a six. so, whereas with you, they're, like, oh, trevor and leo dicaprio, they're waiting for the right lady, whereas with me, they're, like, what the hell do you think you're doing? go down to the city hall and get a marriage license there, ugo. >> trevor: i think you're hard on yourself. >> no, of course not, it's for comedic effect. also, the six, maybe i'm being too kind. ( laughter ) so not married -- i have a joke on the show that women would trust me more if i'd been married and murdered my wife because then they'd be like no, he's capable about loving he just gets too passionate. >> trevor: that's one of my favorite things about not just your shows but you. you put that in the show.

this whole journey you're on -- some people would call it reparenting, relearning. you do it through the lens of comedy but as neal brennan, you have been very outspoken about depression, learning to rewire your brain. one of the most recent things you've done is iowaska and you said it literally changes your lives. >> i did transcranial meditation which i talked about on here promoting three mics and i was the only person who talked about it to the point they wanted me to endorse the machine. slow down. they wanted me to endorse the magnet machine. i was, like, no! you guys can use the clip if you want. i'm not going to endorse a medical contraption. i'll do anything, right. and, so -- so somebody told me about iowaska and i never said who told me about it and he came out about it publicly today, i

don't think you even know. >> trevor: no. >> will smith. >> trevor: i did not know that. >> will smith told me about it five or six years ago. he's the one who told me about it and i ended up doing it during the covid, and i've done it a bunch of times. >> trevor: was that the best or worst time to start iowaska during a pandemic? >> you have to win off of antidepressants because it was kind of low stress, i was able to get into it. >> trevor: right. >> and i went from being an atheist to actually believing in a spirit, in a higher power. >> trevor: not like going to church and stuff. >> oh, god, no. oh, trevor, honey, no. of course not. >> trevor: but you became -- >> well, that's what i had to unlearn. >> trevor: do you think you became a better person? >> i do think i became a better person? >> trevor: in what way? >> i don't feel any need to be a bitch, if that makes sense.

i don't want to snap at people, i don't want to be, like, snide, i don't want to be short, i don't want to be kurt. i see everyone as truly like a sliver -- we're all slivers of the same thing. >> trevor: i think, in a way, it's not -- i mean, you say it like that, you don't feel the need to be a bitch. if i think about what it presents itself as, it's more you not feeling the need to attack before you get attacked. >> may be. i'm not going to say i'm never -- >> trevor: no, no -- >> but it makes my disposition overall more pleasant. and that's a big -- that's big. >> trevor: you're less prickly. >> yes, i think so, yeah. >> trevor: no, i've seen it. >> you know me. >> trevor: i've seen it. i think that's why i'm excited to come see the show. >> this is about me getting a better understanding of my relationship with myself, and getting -- it's called

unacceptable because i'm unacceptable to me, and by the end of it, i'm -- i get a bit of a -- a bit of grace into more acceptance of myself. >> trevor: that's beautiful. >> that's why i made a show about it. >> trevor: i'm going to come watch the show. >> i know you will. >> trevor: yeah. >> because you're that kind of person, and i don't think the girl you're dating is in town, right? ( laughter ) see, you got it covered. >> trevor: you just meant i'm a good guy, too. it fits in my schedule. >> it work. it work. >> trevor: no, man, thanks for coming. >> trevor, let me say that i think you're an excellent person. >> trevor: thank you, man. >> and you're a walking reconciliation. >> trevor: wow. >> you want everyone to get along, and you're not silly about it. you're -- you're important. how about that? >> trevor: wow. >> i mean, you've still got -- whatever. >> trevor: iowaska.

>> maybe a little too much iowaska, right is that. >> trevor: i don't know even know how to deal with this now but i'll take it. thanks for joining me. >> all right. >> trevor: people, catch neal brennan at the cherry lane theater right here in new york all the way through november 21. i'm going to go. you should go. we'll take a quick break but be back right after this. every day in business brings something new. so get the flexibility of the new mobile service

diwali is a very important holiday but, frankly, i'm a little appalled that none of you know very much about indian culture. so with out further adieu, kelly! you are on. um, diwali is awesome. and there's food, and there's gonna be dancing. and, oh, i got the raddest outfit. it has sparkles-- kelly... um, why don't you tell us a little bit about the origins of the holiday? oh, um, i don't know. it's really old, i think. how many gods do you have? like hundreds, i think. maybe more than that. and that blue, busty gal-- what's her story?
