♪ get up, come on get down with the sickness ♪ ♪ come over me ♪ >> announcer: coming to you from new york city, the only city in america, it's "the daily show." tonight... debate season is in full swing. where halloween came from. and elizabeth banks. this is "the daily show with trevor noah." ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> trevor: what's going on, everybody? welcome to "the daily show." i'm trevor noah. thank you so much for tuning in. thank you coming out in person. thank you so much! thank you! thank you so much! take a seat. let's do this. we've got a great show for you tonight. we'll tell you how rats will

stay save your life, we will take you to the senate debate that everyone is talking about, and we discover the truth of halloween. plus, my guest tonight is the one and only elizabeth banks, everybody! let's jump straight into today's headlines. [cheers and applause] all right, before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. starting with health news. a new study sponsored by the national institutes of health has found that kids who play video games for at least three hours a day have better memory and impulse control than non-gamers. yeah. and i am not the kind of person who would say, i told you so to my mom, because she could still warp my ass. but i told you so. yeah. [applause]

just making sure she's not behind me. but yeah, turns out, gamers have great impulse control. so the next time a teenager calls you the n word in a game of "call of duty, he really thought it through. in travel news, virgin australia airlines has announced that for the next six months, anyone who selects a middle seat will be automatically entered into a lottery with more than $230,000 worth of prizes up for grabs. and here's my first question: is one of the prizes an aisle seat? because that is the only way i am ever selecting a middle seat on a plane! plus, winning the lottery makes it worse. now i'm in the middle seat, and the aisle and window seats are looking to rob my ass. "well, well, if it isn't mr. jackpot..." leave me alone! oh, here's one of the strangest human interest stories i have ever heard. a hermit known as the world's dirtiest man has died at the age of 94, just a few months after

bathing for the first time in over 60 years. which is a real lesson here, guys. don't try anything new! because it will kill you! it will. and more importantly, congratulations to the new world's dirtiest man. steve bannon. well done. let's move on to some of the bigger stories of the day, starting once again with them in terms. -- with the midterms. the time of year when your baby is at the highest risk of being kissed by ted cruz. there was a major debate last night that could change everything, and we'll tell you all about it in our continuing coverage of "votedemic 2022." ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] the big question leading up to election day right now is who will control the senate when the dust settles. and with so many close races around the country, it could still go either way. but a pivotal moment may have occurred at last night's debate in pennsylvania. on one side of this

neck-and-neck race, you have the democrat john fetterman, lieutenant governor and bouncer on the set of "jerry springer." and on the republican side, you have doctor's, not to be confused with "the wizard of oz," who also lived in a mansion that wasn't in. after securing the nomination, he has been trying to distance himself from maga, and trying to scoop up all the centers voters on election day. he's basically doing the tiktok thing where you flip your hair down and when you come up, you act like you suddenly didn't want to hang mike pence. you know what i mean? here's the thing. being pro trump and pro reasonable is a lot harder than people think, what was apparent when dr. oz had to explain his position on abortion. >> should abortion be banned and 60 america? 60 seconds. >> it should not be banned, the federal government and the states decide their decisions. in the physician, i've been in

the room where there is there's difficult decisions. i don't want the federal government involved in that. i want women, doctors, local political leaders letting the democracy that has always allowed our nation to thrive to but the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves. >> trevor: that's right. dr. oz a set abortion rights should be decided by women and their doctors and local political leaders. which is pretty slick. he started that sentence like he was on the side of women. then he snuck and the politicians at the end like a teenager buying condoms at the gas station. i will get the cheez its and root beer and [mumbling] let's be honest. if you are pro-choice, what dr. oz is suggesting is bullshit. i think we can all agree. there is only one politician who should have a say in your abortion and that is herschel walker, because it is his. it is his. it is probably has. ladies, check, they are all his.

now unfortunately, the democrats couldn't exactly take a victory lap after dr. oz's performance because it was their own guy who is getting most of the attention. >> lieutenant government john fetterman started up the hour-long debate assuring voters he's still capable of doing the job of senator five months after having a stroke. >> let's also talk about the elephant in the room. i had a stroke. he has never let me forget that. i might miss some words during this debate, mush two words together, but it knocked me down, and i'm going to keep coming back up. >> fetterman's use of a closed captioning device during the debate where he read questions in real time on a screen above the moderators sparked debate on social media with some observers seeing a strong performance amid recovery, while others cast him as unsteady. >> fetterman lost his footing on a subject of fracking one questioned about a 2018 interview and he said he would never support the industry versus his current position supporting fracking. >> i -- i do support fracking.

and i don't -- i don't -- i support fracking, and i stand, and i do support fracking. >> trevor: you know what is interesting to see is how people who have reacted to this clip. on the one hand, that was the part of the debate that tripped him up because he has had a shaky record on whether he is for or against the fracking. be on that, people are wondering about the stroke. it is interesting to see, if people support them, they are seeing a guy who was overcoming a temporary disability. and the people who are against him see a guy who is not mentally fit to be senator. but i guess because of polarization, it is like that with everything these days. seeing the world from two different sides. like, if you're a die-hard christmas lover, you hate the grinch. but if you don't like christmas, then yeah, he's extremely [bleep] and you'd smash. everything is subjective. everything. look at that mouth. i personally feel bad for john fetterman, though. because he had a stroke, and

because after the debate, dr. oz tried to sell him a supplement that would cure him for $59.99. if you ask me, i don't know why fetterman admitted to having a stroke. this is american politics. he could have done whatever he wanted. he is running for the center of pennsylvania. he could have showed up to the debate like, "sorry for my words everyone, i'm drunk off my ass," the entire state would've been like, "hell yeah, man, same. go phillies! i love this guy!" but the truth is, fetterman's limitations right now are just something voters will have to consider when they make their choice. like, maybe they don't care whether fetterman is capable of debating. maybe voters prefer his policies, or maybe they just want a senator who can block the door the next time it's getting stormed by rioters. that could be very useful. it's all up to them. anyway, let's move on and talk about natural disasters. no matter where you live, they could happen to you. one minute you're buying

groceries, then an earthquake hits, and boom! you're buried alive. or you're taking a hike, suddenly, an avalanche hits, boom! you're buried alive! or you're at home watching tv, a tornado hits, picks you up and rips off all your clothes, throws you through your neighbor's window into the bedroom with his wife, right as your neighbor walks in. he knocks you out with a shovel, and boom! buries you alive. happens all the time. all the time. but here's some good news. if you have been buried alive by a natural disaster, there is a new first responder who might be coming to your aid. >> an unlikely hero is being trained to help search and rescue teams during natural disasters. we're talking about rats. the rodents are fitted with tiny high-tech backpacks carrying video cameras. the project, created by belgian nonprofit, trains the rats to help first responders search for survivors among rubble in disaster zones. once they locate the target, they pull a switch on their little vest that triggers a beep before heading back to the trainers to get a treat. and the leader of the project

says rats are perfect for the job since they're small, curious, and prone to explore. >> trevor: oh! oh, my god, that is so adorable! did you see the little backpack and a tiny camera? i want to be rescued by one of them! lock the doors, let's blow the building up. you will thank me when there's a bunch of cute rats thanking all of us. for real, though, this is incredible. just take a moment to think of some of the things that rats can do. they can sniff out landmines. they can detect tuberculosis. in new york city restaurants, they taste our food before we eat it. and yet, do we appreciate them? no! we are terrible to them. we are terrible to rats. we don't treat them with any respect. in fact, we've got to pray that if we are ever trapped under the rubble, we've really got to hope that the rats that comes to rescue us doesn't hold a grudge.

"well, well, well, if it isn't the guy who tested that toxic makeup on my cousin. oh, look, you can't move your arms? they worked fine when you were putting out all those traps, though, didn't they? bet you wish you hadn't appropriated my culture for your chuck e. cheese now, huh? why don't you rescue yourself, you little bitch. i'm gonna go poop in a cheerios bye!" [applause] i just realized at some point, my mom is going to be like him or what do you do it your job? don't worry. finally, here's a fun story from the higher education. universities are doing the utmost to try to stop students from cheating. you don't want students to teach because you don't want someone cheating their way through engineering and then monday building a bridge. or what if someone cheats their

way through 14th-century italian poetry? i don't even need to tell you the chaos that would unleash on society. but one professor is going viral for how she decided to stop cheating in her class. >> "the washington post" says a philippines college professor asked her students to wear anti-cheating hats for a midterm exam, and they went all out. the students showed up for their mechanical engineering test this month wearing all sorts of designs on their heads. photos of the students in their head gear went viral though on local news. >> trevor: i don't know who this professor is but that is genius. instead of telling the kids not to cheat, obstruct their field of vision. because most of the time, teachers can't actually stop anyone from cheating. the best they can do is walk up and down the aisles like a pigeon looking for pieces of bread. just do that thing. hey, hey, hey. i like the system. it helps the students focus and

because let's be honest, it is temptation. most of the time, most of cheating is a spur of the moment thing. go into the test intending to c. what happens is you realize you know none of the answers. and then you notice out of the corner of your eye that angie is flying and now if you know that you are probably wrong, why would you stick with your own answers? in a real-world situation, we want to encourage people to go with whoever has the best ideas. it is not cheating. it is called having an open mind, people. you've got to explore your opportunities. [applause] that is why my uncle was in his neighbor's bedroom's wife -- all right, that's it for the headlines. before we go to a quick break, let's check in on the stock market with our very own finance expert, michael kosta, everybody! [cheers and applause] michael, crazy time, man.

crazy time in the markets. what's happening? >> i am crushing it. you might need to call the rescue rat, because my crashing has caused a lot of people to be trapped under rubble. so. >> trevor: it sounds like your financial advice has buried people in debt to. >> well, if you want to get out of that debt, i got a hot tip for you, so stay tuned, okay? >> trevor: let's do it. speaker this week, multiple corporations had their third quarter earnings report which included google and microsoft, both of whom had disappointing numbers, but before we get into that, the rescue rats, i found this story so useful. when my landlord came by to evict me because of a rat infestation, i told him, you are wrong. i'm actually training an elite group of search and rescue rats. it brought me 24 hours. you are right, animals are amazing! pigs can hunt truffles, dolphins are helping the navy with their sonar. my dog, he will like peanut butter off my body wherever i put it. >> trevor: oh --

>> it's not a sex thing. i just eat peanut butter sloppily. and i heard, trevor, and africa, that you can hang wet laundry on a rhinoceros' horn. >> trevor: michael, that is not true. that is not true. >> because you don't have laundry. i'm sorry. >> trevor: you know, can you just -- >> anyone asks what cats do? how do they contribute to society? to me, it seems like cats have nine lives and they are wasting every single one of them. if you were trapped under a building and your cat saw you, it would yawn and go back to sleep. or even worse, it would kill a rat, the one thing that is trying to save your ass. trevor is right. rats need more respect. that is why it is called "ratspect." think about it, they are basically firemen. that's why it wasn't weird that i made a sexy rat calendar.

>> trevor: let's get to the markets. >> let's get to the markets. alphabet, which is google's parent company, and microsoft both had their quarterly earnings calls which were so bad, at that the stock to a dramatic fall! look at that! which makes me say to all the company owners, if you know your earnings calls are going to be so bad, why are you making that call? okay? if you have bad news, don't call people. i didn't call my landlord when i found 93 rats in my apartment. i put little bells and backpacks on them and now i gave them names. i'm helping society. so look, this is google and microsoft. everything is going fine. there's a little dip here in october 24th, that's not a big deal, the guy who draws the line actually just needs to. sometimes that happens. but what the hell is going on here? turns out microsoft's cloud company did not generate as much revenue as they thought.

obviously, clouds just disappear, right? but the bigger drop came from google. ad revenue is down on youtube because advertisers don't want to advertise to us, knowing the economy is struggling, and we don't want to buy anything. well, you don't. i'm crushing it. okay? here are some advice to you, if your ad revenue is down and is it affecting our stock, why are you letting us skip ads? of course i am going to skip your ad for rogaine. my to pay is, okay? no wonder your company has a skip revenue button. cvs doesn't have a skip payment button. they do have the self checkout things, though. those are pretty much the same thing. you know what i mean? hey, hot tip, hot tip to media companies, force your viewers to watch profitable ads. trevor, throw to commercial. >> trevor: no, don't tell me what to do. >> sorry, you are right. >> trevor: we will go to a commercial break right now.

it's the reason we have been mutilating pumpkins all month. but where did halloween come from? well, desi lydic has the answer. ♪ ♪ >> hello, my dear ease. halloween is right around the corner. which reminds me, i need to get a costume. now according to my local cvs, halloween is a two month festival beginning september 1st, which celebrates the worst candy of all time. but actually, halloween is an ancient holiday with a rich and spooky history, and by spooky, i mean... [evil laugh] it all started in ancient ireland when they celebrated the earliest version of halloween, the festival of sour. the irish gave us not one but two holidays were people get wasted and have sex behind the

dunkin doughnuts. ireland, thank you. they believe that on the night of october 31st, the veil between the world and the afterlife was lifted and that spirits are turned for one night, like a divorced dad on your birthday. so to win favor with the spirits, they lit bonfires and offered gifts to them, but most importantly, they disguised themselves in costumes so the dead wouldn't recognize them, because, trust me, no one wants to get stuck in a conversation with a ghost. they are always like "avenge me, avenge me," i'm like, okay, weirdo, i just met you. costumes consisted of animal hides and sticks. but in their defense, it was ancient times. those were the only costumes parties that he had back then. for thousands of years, it was celebrated in ireland by the celtics. sorry, caltex, until ireland got a very special delivery on its doorstep. catholicism! and the catholics gave the festival a holy makeover, naming november 1st all saints day,

a.k.a., all hallows, making the night before hallows eve. eventually, this evolved into halloween. like many other scary things, you have the catholic church to thank. after this transition, the earliest version of trick or treating began. medieval beggars would pray for people's dead relatives in exchange for food, and that is pretty depressing. outsourcing or praying for the less fortunate? i mean, how lazy are you? oh, my post mates with a single bottle of water is here. bring it in. there was fun trick-or-treating too. kids wrapped up in costumes and offered to sing or recite a poem in exchange for food or money or wine, and i know what you are thinking. kids drinking wine? but don't worry. it is irish one, so it is basically just rancid grape juice. in the 18th and 19th centuries, halloween started getting popular around the world, especially in america. after a halloween poem by robert burns became popular. are not my son where that something became mainstream due to poetry, but if you think

about it, it is the same way we all learned about scissor. at the end of the century, the influx of irish immigrants made halloween even bigger in the u.s. and its her to get a little rowdy. kids use the day as an excuse for vandalism and general assholery, a tradition that continues to this day. [bleep]. i will kick your ass at soccer practice, to me! it was so bad, some politicians wanted to cancel halloween altogether. luckily, the solution is already built in. trick or treating. everyone figured out that if they gave kids trees in exchange for not acting like little dickheads, it would work. it exploded in the 1950s with the mass production of candy, although back then, candy was weird. they had all of these suggested names like sugar daddies. if you like candy, kids, you will love uncle jimmy's. by the 1970s, halloween wasn't

just for kids anymore. adults started to get into it too. they threw parties, the war costumes, some sexy, and some really sexy. these days, halloween has taken on a new meaning, celebrating the macabre and having a safe space to explore our identities with our friends and family. i'm just [bleep] with you. is about making as much money as possible. it is the most expensive holiday after christmas. you literally make it a playstation out of it, just on highly rou regrettable photos. lost another one. so now you know how halloween got to be so spectacular. i hope everyone out there has a safe and fun time this year. enjoy it because the next holiday is thanksgiving, when you have to spend the whole day with your entire family!

>> okay, just hold it. >> trevor: please welcome elizabeth banks! [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] you have such a nice audience! >> trevor: we have a wonderful audience. welcome to "the daily show." >> thank you. thanks for having me. >> trevor: congratulations on creating what i think everyone is going to enjoy as not just a heartfelt film, but a film that in more ways than most, feels completely apt for these times. >> my character, joy, seeks out an abortion when her life is in danger, and it is life or death for her. this is a woman who never thought she would seek out abortion care. and when she gets there, it is in 1968 chicago, abortion is illegal. this is. roe vs. wade.

and she meets a collective of women called the janes, real life women, stories based on a real-life group, the jane collective of chicago, who provided abortion care, abortion health care to nearly 11,000 women in the late '60s before abortion was legal in illinois and chicago. >> trevor: it is a story about bravery in the face of everything that stands against you, because in a story, we meet a woman who was living a cookie-cutter life. your character, she is living her life, she comes from a conservative family but we don't really talk about that. it's almost not about the politics per se, but it's about how society was oppressing women at this time. and what feels again pertinent to this moment is seeing her now just right for herself, but for every other woman who needs to have an abortion and can't afford it. >> yeah, that's exactly right. i am pro-abortion and i like to tell people who aren't pro-abortion that i am fighting for them to have that abortion that they don't know they need yet. >> trevor: wow.

[cheers and applause] >> don't worry, i will fight for you, i will fight for your daughter, and your wife, and your mom, don't worry. >> trevor: it really is a powerful story, though. because this is what gets me about the film. you think, first of all, you would think this film was made now. that is the first thing. you started planning this and you film clips how long ago? >> i first read the script nearly three years ago, and we had the pandemic and we finally got to make it, got sigourney weaver into be this amazing activist. >> trevor: she really is amazing. [applause] >> and i think at the time, we knew that there were what we call abortion deserts in america, which are areas where abortion was so inaccessible that basically people were living in a time that was like. roe, and this film really presents the dangerous, often desperate situations that pregnant people found themselves in when they didn't want to be pregnant. and you know, we all know that

abortion bands don't -- they don't solve abortion because as long as there have been pregnant people, there will be people that don't want to be pregnant and that is reminds us that there is safety matters, that we can re-center women and the health care that they need and make sure that it is safe for them. and safety relies on legality, frankly. and that is sort of the time that we are now talking about. it was 1968 in the movie, but it's today in 14 states. >> trevor: it also showed a side of the conversation that is necessary, but painful at the same time. the film isn't flippant when it comes to talking about abortion. you know, there's the scene for instance where we are in the room, we are seeing a lot of what the procedure is, we are seeing the pain, we are seeing with a woman goes through. i wanted to know why you felt it was so important to have that in the story. somewhat gloss over it, some would say, we don't want to put

that in because it makes it complicated. it felt like it was kept in for that reason. >> you know, one in four american women have an abortion so it is a pretty common practice. there is this mythology, there is this a lie, frankly, that antiabortion activists will say, which is that abortion can kill you. and that is simply not true. abortion is very, very safe. it is safer than getting your wisdom teeth out. it is safer than a colonoscopy. so the janes did not lose a single life. they performed 11,000 abortions, didn't lose a single life. so i think partly why we wanted to put the procedure and was just to normalize it, you know? just to destigmatize the entire process. to show you that she was fine after and went and had spaghetti. you know? >> trevor: right. [applause] it is a procedure that somebody is having to go on with their lives. you also choose to have many funny moments in the film which somebody wouldn't think at first -- if i said to you, there is this film, it's about abortion, people go, wow, this

will be very serious. it is serious but there are so many moments where you find yourself laughing out loud as well. >> thank you. >> trevor: really, really laughing out loud and human way. that also feels very intentional. by not just have it be very drab and dull? >> i think we all felt like the way to depoliticize this whole thing, which has become so politicized, is to remind people about the stories. these are real people's lives that these politicians are messing with. you know, these are real women who have hopes and dreams or already have kids for whatever reason are making the decision to seek out abortion health care. and real women, they have fun too. they laugh too. >> trevor: right. [cheers and applause] >> trevor: they are humans. >> we are all humans. my real about the character was, i don't want to cry after, because she is so relieved after her abortion. she chooses her life. she is choosing a very

life-affirming decision for her, she's not particularly tortured over it, she's already a mom, her pregnancy is threatening her life, and she wants to stay alive to be a mom to her daughter and because she suddenly realizes when she is faced with life or death, while, i have so much more life to live. i have so many things to do. shit, i got a list i got to get to, and she is really having a real awakening, a political awakening, emotional awakening, and i love that for the character. total right turn in her life. >> trevor: right, right, it is a change in direction because it is a moment where -- we don't want to spoil it for everyone but that key moment where somebody realizes their life is at risk, they need to have this procedure, then they have to fight to basically save their own life. it is a powerful one. i feel like you are one of them are perfect people to tell the story, because of what you represent. you have been a champion of women in all fields, whether it is business, film, people have come up to you and they have gone, you've created some of the funniest films for women to act

in, you are funny behind the camera, you are funny when it comes to the writing. what i loved it something that you said recently, which was, everyone will say to you -- many people will say, it is powerful that you are doing this because you are doing this to show that women can do it and make films for the women! you said something to the effect of, well, i make films because i like making films and i am a woman and i'm having fun. what do you think people miss sometimes about a woman doing any type of job that they just want to do? >> [laughs] well, do we have three hours? [laughter] that is a deep question. you know, i think there's a l lot -- i will speak to it in terms of the film right now. which was when dobbs, the dobbs decision was the decision that overturned roe vs. wade, which came down this summer, when it happened, i felt foundational he like less of a free person than i did the day before.

and so when you live in a society where you're human rights can be taken away from you, you are kind of a second-class citizen. and when you are considered a second-class citizen, everybody thinks, how does a second-class citizen get to direct a hollywood movie? >> trevor: wow. >> it is that deep, you know what i mean? it is -- >> trevor: it permeates society. >> there are people that are entitled to do things and then there are women who have to fight to do things. >> trevor: you are lucky. >> you are lucky if you get to do it. speed when you are not lucky, you are amazing, you are truly one of the bonnie's people i know, and the film is amazing, thank you so much for joining me, thank you so much for being here. nature to check out the film, it is going to be in theaters everywhere you watch movies. we will take a quick break, we'll be right back after this.
