they'll worry. people disappear in the finger lakes. i will run this branch or i will destroy this branch. or, i don't know, something always works out. personally, i think darryl would be good. oh, it has to be darryl, or someone i don't know. i thought the woman who came in, she seemed like she had a fun energy. i'm not a sexist, i just really don't want it to be a woman. i just feel that women are generally less competent than men and less rational. again, i'm not a sexist. even andy-- they need to pick someone, just someone fast. ♪ ♪ >> announcer: coming to you from new york city, the only city in america, it's "the daily show." tonight... colorado considers legalizing

mushrooms. twitter is full of fakes. and jordan peele! 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 for being here! thank you so much for being here! take a seat, everybody. take a seat. we've got a fun show lined up for you tonight. the midterms are getting people high, sean penn just won the war in ukraine, and thanks to elon musk, now you can be elon musk! plus, the one and only jordan peele is joining us on the show! so let's do this, people. let's jump straight into today's headlines. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪

all right, people, i'm going to be honest, with all the news happening right now, i don't think we have enough space in today's show. and i tried everything. i promise you. i even put the news in the laundry, hoping it would shrink, but it just came out cleaner and smelling like lavender, and we still don't have enough time. fortunately, not enough time is just enough time for a segment we call "ain't nobody got time for that." ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] all right, let's kick things off with the midterm elections: a night so disappointing for republicans, mitch mcconnell is wearing his jowls at half-mast. as of right now, there are still several big races that are too close to call. for instance, will republican adam laxalt hold onto his lead in the nevada senate race? will lauren boebert squeak one out in colorado? will election denier kari lake accept the results if she loses

the arizona governor's race, or will she try to hang whoever arizona's mike pence is? nobody knows! and one reason it's so hard to predict the results is that americans cast ballots in so many different ways, and they all come in separately. democrats tend to vote early, by mail or drop box. republicans show up on election day or use military ballots. and herschel walker votes the way he fathers his children: absentee. but there is one unfinished race that's not all that close, and it's a real trip. >> we are still watching proposition 122, which appears likely to pass, and if it does, colorado would essentially legalize psychedelic mushrooms. passing the proposition would decriminalize personal possession right away and then it would allow licensed medical facilities to administer the natural medicine starting in 2024. >> trevor: yeah, that's right. after being one of the first states to legalize marijuana, colorado is one of the first states to legalize mushrooms. i think it is great.

because of instead of creating a drug's underworld, colorado is bringing everything out into the open. you can legalize it, regulate it, it is those parents who give their kids wine with dinner. they are like "i would rather they would be drunk in front of me and safer and also i it's fun to watch them bump into things. look at you, tyler!" i know right now there's some people seeing this lot going into effect and they are panicking like, mushrooms are going to be legal? what? just relax, relax. breathe. you are going to be just fine. just drink more water and listen to some enya, enya, enya. that is a weird name. i'm freaking out again! personally, i am all for drug laws getting less restrictive. and if they do officially legalize shrooms, i'm also excited for their next ballot measure, "why are my hands so big?" now if we had more time, we could talk about whether the

acceptance of recreational drug use can lead to increased understanding of the therapeutic value of psychedelics, or how weird it is that drugs are, like, the one illegal thing we get to vote to make legal. why don't we legalize jaywalking? even better jay driving? why should pedestrians have all the sidewalk to themselves? but we don't have time for any of that, because while the u.s. is abandoning the war on drugs, ukraine is still fighting its war with russia, and its leader just got some really strange military assistance. >> the actor sean penn, most often doing the unpredictable, he did it again this time. loaning his oscar to the president of ukraine, but it comes with a condition. video posted online shows penn handing the oscar to ukranian president zelenskyy. he said zelenskyy can keep it until ukraine wins the war against russia. he is visited ukraine several times since the fighting began last february. >> if i know this is here with you, then i'll then i'll feel better and stronger for the fight. >> that's so great, great honor, but until we win.

>> when you win, you win bring it back to malibu. >> right, yes, okay. >> trevor: i don't even know how to process this information. am i on mushrooms? is it happening already? i don't get it. how does the oscar help zelenskyy fight the war? is he going to use it as a weapon? if that's the case, at least give him two so we can use them like nunchucks on a chain, you know? it would be strange if they gave him an oscar to help win the war but he wants zelenskyy to return it? that was a weird part. "link for you bring this back to me." all the responsibility, the man is already won the war against russia now he is to make sure that nothing happens to sean penn's oscar? air raid sirens are going on,

they are like "quickly, sir, everyone get to the bunker! "i'm coming, i just need to find sean penn's oscar! he needs it back!" the only the way this would work as they if zelenskyy gave the oscar to vladimir putin and while he gave the acceptance speech, the music played him off and he had to leave. "i wasn't finished, good luck, goodbye, everybody." i actually hope that zelenskyy is a fan of sean penn's movies. because we don't know what else happened there. might've gotten really awkward. sean penn is like, "here, i want you to have my best actor oscar for "milk." "yes, yes, one of my favorite film. i remember watching it and thinking, "wow, that's a lot of milk. no way you can drink all that milk." powerful story." now if we had more time, we could talk about the other major development in the war, which is

that russia was just forced into another embarrassing retreat from a major ukrainian city, probably because they heard ukraine has a sean penn's oscar now. but we don't have time for that, because right now the one thing being mismanaged worse than putin's war is elon musk's website. >> twitter has officially debuted its verified blue checkmarks, and the future is causing a lot of confusion. subscribers who play the $8 monthly fee are now entitled to additional perks, namely the blue check mark, previously reserved for verified accounts. the problem is, some of those users are using their newly acquired verification to impersonate celebrities and other public figures. >> someone pretending to be lebron james wrote on its twitter, "i am officially requesting a trade from the lakers," an account that appeared to be from eli lilly announced that all insulin would be free. meanwhile, a user impersonating george w. bush said i missed killing iraqis, and someone else impersonating the company nintendo posted this photo of mario pointing the

middle finger. >> trevor: oh, no! because anyone can buy verification, they are now impersonating famous people? who could have seen this coming? what? everyone? wow! where were you guys $44 billion ago! looks, i'm going to be honest and i'm going to be blunt. elon musk is running twitter into the ground. and it's the best twitter has ever been. are you kidding me? [cheers and applause] fake lebron leaving l.a., mario flipping the bird, george bush telling us how he really feels. it is an absolute train wreck and i am here for it! the only reason we know that wasn't the real mario is because mario would never flip someone the bird. he's italian. come on. he would probably do this, or this. "tell your mother i said hello!" but who knows. maybe all of this verified real fake twitter people on twitter is actually part of the plan.

maybe this is what he is doing on purpose. no one will do a really come from a fake account and he will be like, guys, did you see someone impersonating me spend $44 billion on twitter. i will take my money and leave, bye-bye. if we had time, we will discuss how the verified fiasco is not hurting twitter, it is damaging tesla's stock or we could definitely talk about how rihanna just said on twitter that she wanted me to perform with her at the super bowl, and no, it's not a fake account because she even asked for my social security number! but we don't have the time for any of that! while twitter is making celebrities, a real celebrity is in trouble for faking his life. >> "vogue" is suing rappers drake and 21 savage for using a fake cover story to promote their new album "her loss." >> so back in october, drake shared what appeared to be a "vogue" magazine cover -- featuring himself and 21 savage, with the caption, "me and my brother on the newsstand tomorrow," thanking "vogue" editors for their support. apparently, they did not like this.

the publishers filed a complaint in federal court this week saying the stunt was infringement of the company's trademark. so far, no comment on the lawsuit from drake or 21 savage. >> trevor: yeah, that's right. vogue is suing drake and 21 savage for $4 million for photoshopping themselves onto the cover of the magazine. which, to be honest, i don't know if volk has a case here. you can clearly tell that this was a fake cover. i mean, "vogue" lighting black people properly? this is clearly not real. we know it is parity. but the beef is very real. the biggest name in magazines is going up against the biggest name in hip-hop. that is no joke. this has not happened since tupac got shot by readers digest. now just for context, this "vogue" cover was not the only fake promotion at drake and 21 savage has been doing. he also released a fake interview with howard stern, a fake snl performance, and a fake appearance on npr,

like him a desk. which is a little weird because... because he is drake. he doesn't have to see any of these things. drake, if you want to be on npr, i'm pretty sure you can be on npr! this would be like obama photoshopping himself at a buffalo wild wings. he's like, "michelle, it almost looks like out was actually there. how cool is that." you're the former president, i'm pretty sure you can get a table! now if we had the time, we could talk about how "vogue" has inadvertently given drake and 21 savage way more than $4 million worth of publicity, by suing them, making them the most successful marketing for their brand. we don't have time to talk about that because we have some brands that have to tell you about some very real products that they would like to sell you. we will be right back.

[cheers and applause] >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." tomorrow is veterans day in america, and to commemorate it, we look at a group of veterans who sometimes get looked over, in another edition of "ronny chieng teaches you about asians." ♪ ♪ >> hello, class, thanks for coming. although you really have no choice because if you don't come to school in america, your parents get arrested. today, we are going to learn

about some of the great asian veterans in u.s. history because asians have served in the u.s. military for almost as long as america has bought and wars, which is basically the whole time. america loves wars so much they want to have his babies and have those babies fight in the next door. first up is agustin feliciano who fought in the war of 1812. which happened in what... it doesn't actually say. nice going. feliciano with the first filipino to serve in the u.s. navy. before he sailed with the navy, he sailed with pirates. that's right. american history has asian veterans and asian pirates. i am blowing your freaking mind today. what's next? asian werewolves? no. that. let's fast-forward to americans civil war -- the first one, not the one currently happened in your twitter feed. the civil war is when chinese holders began to make their mark.

of the roughly 200 chinese americans living in the eastern u.s. at the time, 58 of them served in the war. that is 58 out of 200. can you calculate the percentage from that number? it's easy, just cross out the zeros, move the decimal point over, flip the decimal point, and now math is easy. especially for me. a teacher. one of the most distinguished chinese civil war vets was joseph pearce. heroes in the ranks to corporal, the highest rank of any chinese american in the union army. which i can also relate to because i am the highest ranking asian at daily show. sadly, i do not have as many confirmed kills. and yeah, there were white soldiers in the 1800s who were taking orders from an asian guy, because those guys were #allies. they didn't need to brag about it on instagram, all right? , jr., we get it. not every veteran got what they deserved.

edward was a chinese immigrant adopted by an american ship captain who fought in the civil war and served for another 26 years, but get this, america still refuse to make him a citizen. can you believe that? this guy really asked his life in the military for almost 30 years, most asians never do anything close to that. they automatically get citizenship by getting pooped out of their mom's butt. moving on to world war i, and one of american's greatest heroes, he was a runner, bringing messages to the front line, all while dodging flamethrowers. he risked his life to send messages come i hope this makes you grateful for texting. in fact, i wish this was how we had to send messages. you would think twice if you had to run across a battlefield to give someone a picture of your dick. let's move to world war ii, fighting in the regiment made completely of soldiers of

japanese descent and one of the most decorated regiments and military history. during a combat mission in france, he escaped death when a bullet to his chest was blocked by two silver dollars, try doing that with bitcoins, you crypto bitches. he is why i carry two silver dollars in my breast pocket at all times. weight. where are they? oh, yeah, i got that vending machine called. no one chewed me until i can get to the exchange. even after his military service, inouye went on to serve 50 years in congress. so congrats to him on finding the only job worse than combat. may be the biggest asian b ass, the filipino schoolteacher who became a school fighter, who killed over 500 to soldiers. schoolteachers can become guerrilla assassins. do not mess with us.

out, god damn. the last veteran we will learn about today is a living legend. i know how that term is usually used, if your friend jake went a stupid flip cup tournament. i mean come an actual legend. tammy duckworth. she served as a black hawk helicopter pirate and iraq 2004 when she was hit by a rocket propelled grenade. she lost her leg and partial use of her right arm, for her sacrifice, she was honored with a purple heart. i don't know why it is purple. i guess whoever designed it was a huge print scan. but her service do not end with the military. she went on become the first thai american women and is and disabled woman elected to congress. she was the first woman to bring a baby onto the senate floor, although it was not the first diaper. those guys are all that shit. class, in conclusion, when you think of asians in american history come i don't just think of railroads and that [bleep] guy for breakfast at tiffany's who is not actually asian.

think of tammy duckworth, thinking about it, i have to go tend to his neck wound. knowing how cheap these school districts are, i probably have lead poisoning. class dismissed. >> trevor: thank you so much. stay tuned, when we come back, the one and only jordan peele will be joining me right here on the show. you don't want to miss it.

[cheers and applause] with "key and peele," some of

the funniest moments and ideas still existing on tiktok, kids loving them today, then you move into what you did with keanu, and now you have turned into -- rather, you have been revealed to us as this filmmaker. when i was watching "nope," you are sitting in the movie theater, no one knows what is going to happen, why it is going to happen, what is going to happen, you successfully got people to not spoil any of the plot points -- don't know how you did that. people are like have you seen "nope"? no, i have it. how is it? they were like -- >> yeah, yeah. >> trevor: you create a feeling. >> thank you. i just have this love of my audience, and i think my audience has been telling me, responding to that very thing, something that they love. that they are going to show up for. >> trevor: it's one thing to create a horror movie, it is one thing to create a thrill and suspense, it's

another thing to weave into that story everything that we are experiencing in real life. you went, what if there is racism and sexism and what if there is also a monster? which seems -- you know? >> which is very much the real world. it's, once again, a documentary. but no. and this one, i wanted it to be about this idea that was sort of forming in my head that there's some people, there's some things in this world that are these bad miracles. these are these things that are so entertaining that it -- that we are blinded to the danger of them. >> trevor: wow. >> so i wanted to make a film about the human response to these things. and how we interact with them. how we will chase it off a cliff. >> trevor: wow. you do that with everything, though. when they told me you had a podcast, i thought you were going to be interviewing people, thought it was going to be a conversation. they go, no, he made a horror podcast. i was like, but that is not possible. we actually have a clip, we can play a little bit. you can close your eyes if you

want. >> 911, what is your emergency? >> i need to report an accident, this guy, he's hurt his head. there's a lot of blood. >> is he still breathing, sir? >> i'm not sure, yes, he's definitely still breathing. his head looks like it is cracked. jesus, there's blood everywhere. >> [indistinct] >> i'm sorry, what? >> [hissing] [phone hangs up] >> trevor: do you know what people usually use podcasts for? are you familiar? >> you are driving -- >> trevor: some people play podcasts to go to sleep. and this slides into your playlist. >> you know, this is something we talk about in horror all the time, which is this idea that it's the things you don't see that are the scariest. >> trevor: it is terrifying. you created this podcast that is essentially -- it sounds real, it sounds like an actual conspiracy theorist and we are

sort of set in a pretrump world and he is talking about everything that is happening, he is digging into conspiracies, and it feels too real, jordan. >> this is brilliant. tracy letts wonderfully plays this character and this whole faustian thing ends up being -- i'm not going to give away what is going on, but it -- there is something -- yeah. as discussed, we need to -- but it is a story that needs to be told in the sound medium because there is a sound element to this parasite and it is scary. >> trevor: it feels like you are commenting on me aspects of the world that we often times take for granted or ignore, because they almost seamlessly are happening to us. and you take them, you amplify them, then it becomes a horror, we can to look away form. why do you think it is important for us to focus on those moments, to focus on what is happening in real life? >> it is. it's important for us to pay attention to the real-life

monsters, and i think it's important -- and it's important for us to feel fear as it is. you know? so much of this doomscrolling and stuff, it really is about us, the fact that fear is something we bury. fear is something that we don't like. we don't like that feeling. we will convert it into other things. >> trevor: yeah, yeah. >> so anyway -- >> trevor: it numbs us. >> yes. so, yeah. >> trevor: [laughs] >> did i answer the question with that? >> trevor: can i just say, i have loved everything that you have created. i enjoy how original your art is. i also really appreciate, you know, how you work with the talent.
